Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The SA-HE75 home theater receiver from Panasonic is a sophisticated, easy-to-customize, and affordable core component for both home audio and home theater systems. The receiver’s Dolby Digital and DTS decoders provide crisp, clear sound, and Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound yields richness to movies and music alike. The SA-HE75 has three surround modes: movie, music, and panorama. The adjustable music and panorama settings add surround effects to stereo sources, and can be altered to fully customize your audio experience.

The SA-HE75 features a unique set of controls that lets you create a customized speaker configuration. When you set up your speakers, you can optimize the sound by selecting the appropriate speaker size. The large speaker setting reproduces a full sound range, particularly lower levels of bass. For small speakers, the setting makes automatic adjustments to the bass range reproduction to avoid distortion and speaker damage. The preset adjustments can also be manually changed. The versatile receiver allows you to configure a full array of speakers of all size in a surround-sound arrangement.

You can also focus the sound of your home theater by inputting the distance of your front, center, and surround speakers from your primary seating location. The easy setup can be adjusted quickly if you change the layout of your room, or if you add speakers.

Panasonic’s sound field control gives your audio experience further definition with six presets: hall, club, live, theater, simulated surround, and party (which configures stereo sound throughout the room.). You can further enhance the sound by adding a subwoofer that can be controlled through the receiver. Dynamic range compression allows you to listen to Dolby Digital music and video at low volumes while maintaining audio clarity. It’s a perfect option for late-night viewing or listening.

The SA-HE75 receiver supports a wide array of audio and video components: CD players, tape decks (with a tape monitor feature), DVD players, VCRs, and more. An AM/FM tuner is built into the unit. The universal remote control included with the receiver allows you to control the other components in your home theater.

The SA-HE75 puts out 100 watts per channel, with less than 0.9% total harmonic distortion.

4.0 out of 5 stars o.k., February 6, 2004

Bought this to replace an aging Yamaha stereo receiver and move up to a home theater receiver. First things first, you cannot beat the price! This sounds really good for home theater, it weighs a ton, it runs real hot. However, if you listen to music mostly, I'd stick with Yamaha or Onkyo. For some reason I can't get this to crank out like my Yamaha could. Four stars for a good receiver at a great price. But like with most everything you get what you pay for.

Before people get all worked up there are obviously better receivers out there, but for $142.00 with free shipping? Not that I have found.

This receiver replaced my 10-year old Techniques receiver which recently died. The one downside to this box is that it does not have video component inputs. This is not a real issue to me as I don't use my box for video switching, I go right to the TV. Also, being my first box in 10 years I wasn't aware that higher end receivers changed the way that the volume numbers get displayed. If you turn the volume up the numbers in'db' go down and if you turn the volume down the numbers go up. A little confusing, which they should mention in the manual.

Speaking of the manual, as in all Panasonic products I have bought it is not very good. The set up instructions are good but it does a bad job of explaining the other features of this receiver. The receiver was reviewed by consumer reports and they rated it well.

Overall the sound is quite good paired with my aging bose series three speakers. I would recommend heartily to those on a home theater budget.

I bought the Panasonic SA-HE75 receiver after trying out another one. I'm very impressed with this unit. I've connected an equalizer to it to draw that extra punch.
The first(and only) sound test was the T-Rex scene from "Jurassic Park", I was blown away. Enuff said.
I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good/solid receiver @ a budget. And for any tech. related questions, Panasonic.com is a great help. Enjoy!!!!
