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 depth, localization and overall realism which was formerly  
only known from digital surround sound equipped cinemas.  
Night m ode - 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!

400W surround power output - The five, 3x60W (left,  
right, center) and 2x60W (rear), receiver amplifiers together  
with the 100W subwoofer amplifier deliver 400 Watts of  
home theater power. The receiver power is specified per  
channel at 6 Ohm, 1 kHz and 1% total harmonic distortion  
(THD). The subwoofer is specified at 4 Ohm, 55 Hz and  
10% total harmonic distortion (THD). The amplifiers have  
been designed with special attention to a short 'rise' and  
'fall' time, so characteristic for the frequent and sudden  
drastic changes in dynamics of movie sound in general.  
Furthermore, the amplification reserves are designed such  
that they are more than sufficient to follow sudden needs  
for more sound pressure.

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 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 highly  
realistic virtual Dolby. Lastly, DUET has the unique capability

Tuner sensitivity adjustm ent - 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.

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.
