The pace of technology is simply amazing. Massage chair have been impacted by this phenomenal trend as well. As a result, massage chairs have become more and more complex and provide users with so many more features than just a few short years ago.

So what is the warranty coverage offered by Sanyo for their top of the line DR7700K massage chair? The DR-7700 comes with three years coverage for the roller mechanism. The roller mechanism is what provides the massage located in the chair back. There is one year coverage for parts and one year coverage for labor. You also get one year technician service for your home.

On to the features of the DR-7700. The DR 7700 is a zero gravity massage chair. What is zero gravity? This is a position used by NASA astronauts when they are being shot to space in a rocket. The zero gravity position is ground to spread the weight of the individual across their back which relieves the pressure off the spine. This is a reclined position with the chair back coming down.

An interesting electronic feature is known as the physical shape sensor. The physical shape sensor will monitor the position of your body. As you move, then the physical shape sensor checks your body position. This new information is relayed to the computer and the massage program is altered to account for your new position.

Sanyo has also adapted lie detector technology and applied it in a novel way in the massage chair. The HEC DR7700K has a stiffness detector. The stiffness detector is held in your hand and can determine where tension is present in your body. This information is fed to the chair’s computer and these areas are then targeted.

Sanyo has included four automatic pre-programmed massages in the DR 7700. These automatic programs operate the entire massage chair for thorough relief. You can select from the four themed programs named Fine, Stiffness, Recovery and Relax.

While you are getting a shiatsu style foot massage, you can also apply heat to the soles of your feet. The DR7700 has specially designed heating elements to help in the reduction of swollen feet. Heat is very relieving as the massage chair is providing a thorough and relaxing foot massage.

The Grip massage which is a manual massage method in the DR 7700 massage chair performs a relieving shoulder massage. Sanyo has incorporated its GK roller system which can extend over the top of your shoulders. It provides a gripping action which helps to reduce stiffness or tightness in the shoulder area.

There are certainly many interesting and innovative functions with the HEC DR-7700K. The GK rollers are a nice addition and they are effective in relieving aches and pains in the shoulder area. The stiffness detector works as long as you hold the secondary remote in the palm of your hand. The remote looks complex, but is not too hard to understand and use. This is certainly a luxury massage chair with many advanced technological functions. Sanyo is one of the top brands and if you are interested in a high end massage chair, then you should compare this one to what is available on the massage chair recliner market.
