Panasonic's new sound bar and surround sound system are 3D ready
If you've been waiting for new audio gear that features HDMI 1.4 and leverages its new features like the ability to pass Full 3D HD and an auto return channel, here are two new ones. The most interesting of the new lineup is the SC-ZT2 wireless audio system (pictured above) which uses two wireless speakers to render the same surround sound as a 7.1 system -- or so Panasonic says, but we'll have to take their word on the sound quality, but no doubt it looks cool. It is available now and retails for $999. Also new to the lineup is the SC-HTB10 and SC-HTB500 sound bars. The 500 features a separate subwoofer and will be available in August for $349, while the 10 has an integrated sub and will be available this month for $199. More pictures and the full releases after the jump.

Panasonic blew right through a ton of new products during its CES keynote, and it's keeping up an equally frantic pace with the rest of the official business, with it pushing out no less than a half dozen press release that just cover its home audio-related offerings. Those include the SC-HC20, SC-HC30 and SC-HC40 iPod / iPhone speaker systems, the SC-SP100 compact iPod speaker system (pictured above), a trio Blu-ray home theater system that include various speaker options, the slimline SC-HTB1 soundbar with a built-in subwoofer, and the SC-ZT2 wireless audio system that Panasonic proudly boasts is the "first fully wireless home theater audio system made for Full HD 3D" -- oh, and a new pair of noise-canceling headphones too. Head on past the break for a rundown of the key vitals, and hit up the gallery below for a look at the whole lot.
