Sound Enhancement Convenience

Dolby Digital Surround Sound - Available on DVD,

Laserdisc*, satellite broadcasts, Cable and as the standard for

HDTV, Dolby Digital® offers the ultimate experience in home theater surround with six discrete channels of digital CD sound.

Discrete means that each channel carries its own sound and depending on what happens on screen each speaker plays its own unique role in providing the right sound. Front left, center and

Digital inputs and output - 3 digital inputs (2 coax, 1 optical) are foreseen to connect digital sound sources (e.g. DVD player,

CD player and Digital TV). A digital output connection (coax) is foreseen to enable digital (CD) recordings from any of the digital inputs. The output can provide a down-mixed (stereo) DVD multi-channel sound signal in order to record from DVD to e.g.

CD-R. right join two surround speakers to reproduce highs, mid and bass frequencies in five full-range channels of surround. Bass rumble, explosions and low frequency effects you feel are delivered through a dedicated sixth, subwoofer channel. Also known as AC-

3 and Dolby 5.1, Dolby Digital® delivers the expanded sense of

Stereo Downmix - The digital output will automatically provide a stereo downmix in case a multichannel signal is detected at any of the digital input connectors. In that way digital audio recordings can be made from movie DVD's (e.g. Live concerts from music DVD's) depth, localization and overall realism which was formerly only known from digital surround sound equipped cinemas.

300W surround power output - The five, 3x60W (left, right, center) and 2x60W (rear), receiver amplifiers deliver 300 Watts of home theater power. The stereo output power of 50W per channel is specified at 6 Ohm, 40Hz-20KHz and 0.7% total harmonic distortion (THD). The amplifiers have been designed with special attention to a shor t 'rise' and 'fall' time, so characteristic for the frequent and sudden drastic changes in dynamics of movie sound in general. Fur thermore, the amplification reserves are designed such that they are more than sufficient to follow sudden needs for more sound pressure.

Night mode - Establishes dynamic range compression of digital sound to reduce the volume differences between the loud and soft passages in source material with digital surround sound where sound level differences can be so dramatic. This feature is especially useful at night when you don't want to disturb the neighbors or wake up the kids!

Video Connections - 3 video input connections and 2 outputs

(incl. monitor) are foreseen to hook up video sources. As these video inputs switch simultaneously with the audio inputs, correct picture with correct sound is guaranteed.

Digital Sound Processing via DUET CORE - Philips

Semiconductors is highly specialized in digital sound processing.

One of their crown DSP (digital sound processing) ICs is the

'DUET'. The DUET's huge processing power of 80 MIPS (million instructions per second) assures the highest possible accuracy in

6 Channel input - Six input selectors at the back of the set allow to connect to any type of multichannel decorder. Be it DTS,

DVD Audio or Super Audio CD. The 6 Channel input makes your system future proof!

digital audio processing. Other characteristics are automatic detection of source (AC-3, MPEG or PCM audio) and smooth

(clicking free) automatic switching between coding formats.

Furthermore DUET carries digital bass cross-over filters (for subwoofer signal) and 3rd generation virtualizer algorithms for

Easy hook up - With color coded speaker connections for quick and easy connection of all loudspeakers. By using distinct colors for each of the speaker connection terminal on the speaker and on the set, and using the same color for the cable, the chance of faulty connection (and customer complaints) are practically zero! highly realistic virtual Dolby. Lastly, DUET has the unique capability of translating Dolby Digital multi-channel sound into a stereo signal suitable for digital recording onto e.g. CD-R.

Cinema Link System Control Bus - When connected to a

Philips TV with 'Cinema Link' (and even better, in addition a

Virtual 3D Surround / Virtual Dolby® Surround - A

Dolby Surround playback system delivers amazingly rich and convincing surround sound from only the two (or three) front speakers. The Pro-Logic or Dolby Digital® surround channel is processed by a 'virtualizer' DSP to add the surround effect from just the front speakers. The Philips virtualizer algorithm on the

'DUET' DSP is the current state of the art reference for virtual surround sound processing.

Philips VCR and or DVD player), the combination offers an interesting range of extra user benefits: One Touch Cinema - upon starting your e.g. DVD disc, the complete system will automatically switch to the correct source and sound mode. High

Resolution OSD - the onscreen display of the television will feature the 'receiver' menu option. This option can be used for easier receiver set-up and receiver settings. Multiple Languages - depending on the languages offered by the TV (likely are Spanish,

French and English) the user can operate the set via the TV menu

'Hall' feature - For use with non-surround sound sources in order to create a cinema effect through normal stereo with rear speaker sound. This 'simulated' surround provides an extra musical

('live') ambience to stereo sound.

in his/her native language. TV as Center speaker - allows to get rid of the separate center speaker and use all the speakers and amplifiers in the TV to function as center speaker (most large screen Philips TVs provide over 50W of sound pressure). One

Touch End - puts your complete home theater system into standby after some exciting hours of cinema enjoyment.

Equalizer Smart Sound - Has 5 modes, specially designed to match the sound of various TV (and Audio) programs. 'Speech' is used for news, discussions and talk show programs. 'Music' is used for music programs. 'Movie' is used for movies or TV-series or soaps. 'Multi-Media' is used when video games are connected to the TV. 'Personal' corresponds with the bass and treble setting chosen by the user.

51-key Audio/Video Multi Brand Universal remote

control - To operate all main receiver functions and Philips,

Magnavox or any other mainstream branded CD player, tape deck, VCR, television and DVD player, Satellite or cable box! The

Screw terminals - For left , right and center speaker connection ensures a loss-less flow of electrical signals from the remote will operate your non-Philips/Magnavox equipment by simply entering a code from the instruction manual in the remote control. The remote has a clear ergonomically designed lay-out

(see picture) set to all main loudspeakers.

30 tuner presets with station name display - The available tuner presets can be randomly used to store AM and FM stations

(30 in total). Each of the presets can be given a user defined Design

name of up to 8 characters. Giving the preset a name is as easy as 1-2-3 with the menu navigator.

Tuner sensitivity adjustment - The tuner sensitivity to pick up radio stations can be set to high and low. In case of low, only the 'strong' stations will be picked up during a search. When even some of the weaker stations are of interest, the 'low' option will pick up every station the tuner can possibly receive.
