Matsushita Electric Industrial Co Ltd will successively release the "PZR900 series" PDP TVs featuring YouTube video playback capability from Sept 10, 2008, in Japan.
The company has already released other YouTube-compatible TVs in the North American market (See related article).
YouTube playback capability will only become available from Sept 30. Users can start viewing YouTube after downloading a dedicated software application via Matsushita's Website.
Each model houses a 1-Tbyte HDD for recording terrestrial/BS/CS digital broadcasts. However, they cannot record analog broadcasts. Supporting Dubbing 10, the PZR900 series allows users to copy recorded programs (or move recorded copy-once programs) to HDDs in Matsushita's recorders connected to its i.LINK port, and further move and record the copied programs on DVD and Blu-ray Disc media.
The PZR900 series products' contrast ratio is 30,000:1, the same as that of the "PZ800 series" released in April 2008. They also cover 120% of the color range area defined by the HDTV broadcast standard (ITU-R BT.809).
