Panasonic CT-32D20 32" TV

The audio features of the CT-32D20 will also add to your enjoyment. Simulated surround sound creates the effects of a multichannel system, expanding the front left and right channels for a virtual surround-sound effect. Broadcast stereo with dbx noise reduction improves the clarity and fidelity of stereo broadcasts, while front-firing speakers give a rich, clear sound stream. Separate bass and treble controls let you adjust the sound to taste, and artificial intelligence sound automatically controls the volume level, preventing sudden variations in volume when switching channels or programming.

To ensure that you get the best home-theater experience from your TV, Panasonic has included component video inputs that provide the highest possible picture quality from DVD players. In addition, dual rear A/V inputs and front A/V inputs add convenience for recording tapes directly from a camcorder or connecting video games and external video components such as a second VCR.

Other advanced features include single-tuner picture-in-picture, which lets you watch two programs at the same time, so you can check the score of your favorite basketball team's game while you're watching football. (Because this set does not have dual-tuner PIP, however, you'll have to route the PIP signal through your VCR or other device in order to use it.) The complete remote control operation includes PIP on/off, freeze, swap, and move. True couch potatoes will enjoy the illuminated "Director" home theater remote control with joystick. Not only does it provide full functionality for the television, but it can also be programmed to control most brands of home audio and video components, like VCRs, so you can control your whole system with one remote. In addition, the joystick control simplifies onscreen menu navigation, and the illuminated keys make it easy to find the button you're looking for in low-light conditions.

Finally, convenient features such as a sleep timer, video input labeling, V-chip parental control, and an onscreen menu system make this TV as easy to operate as it is fun to watch.

The Panasonic CT-32D20 comes with a 90-day warranty on labor, and a one-year warranty on parts (two years on the picture tube).
