CES 2008: Panasonic SC-BT100 Blu-ray Player (Updated with Pics)

Panasonic has revealed that their new SC-BT100 Home Theater in a Box system will feature not only profile 1.1 (Bonus View) compatibility, but also full PCM, TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio support as well. These advanced audio formats will be decoded internally within the player and no additional hardware will be required. The system will be made available in 5.1 and 7.1 configurations and will feature wireless rear channel speakers. Video is, of course, delivered at full 1080/24p and the system will feature the same advanced upconversion process as is currently available on Panasonic's DMP-BD30. No word yet on pricing or a release date, but rest assured that Panasonic is committed to offering this new system at an affordable price point.
