One Pioneer home theater, double the fun

Philip Wong | Jul 07, 2008

Pioneer is doubling the punch for its new 2008 home-theater-in-a-box kits. Raising the bar, we have the HTZ777DVD shipped with a pair of down-firing subwoofers to tackle aggressive Hollywood movie soundtracks and explosive action flicks.

Then, there're the HTZ373DVD and HTZ171DVD and their twin center speakers which add installation flexibility. For example, you can mount each of the boom boxes beside a flat-panel TV for a neater layout without compromising dialog imaging and clarity.

The above, including the remaining HTZ272DVD, HTZ270DVD and HTZ170DVD, also feature 1080p DVD upscaling via HDMI, USB multimedia playback and 360W audio amplification out-of-the-box. Other value-added propositions for the 777 and 373 include MCACC auto surround sound calibration and an extra digital optical audio input to reproduce the enveloping effects of the latest Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 games. Their counterparts, on the other hand, are perfect for American Idol wannabes, courtesy of an inbuilt Karaoke function.

Pricing for the six 5.1-channel home cinemas starts from S$349 (US$251.35), now available in Singapore.
