Sound Enhancem ent
'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.
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 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 depth, localization and overall realism which was formerly
only known from digital surround sound equipped cinemas.

Natural Surround - Natural Surround creates a more
realistic (natural) surround sound impression by creating
phantom speakers in addition to the real speakers. These
phantom speakers are created using psycho-acoutical sound
encoding algorithms. Natural Surround gives the listener the
impression of being surrounded by a 'wall of sound' and
thus creates an even higher sense of realism. Natural
Surround consists of in fact two features : multi-front and
multi-rear, which can be activated individually or
simultaneously. In case of multi-front, phantom speakers are
added to the front speakers. For multi-rear phantom
speakers are added to the rear speakers.

Equalizer Sm art 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.
DTS - DTS surround sound is a cinema surround sound
format that offers superior digital audio performance than
other available surround sound formats. DTS is said to offer
more clarity and definition especially for higher tones. The
better sound quality is a direct result of the limited sound
compression (3:1 instead of 11:1 for Dolby Digital) and the
20-bit resolution. DTS movie and music software is available
on various DVD and CD titles.

96kHz capable - DVD Audio offers 96kHz sound quality.
As the processor of the receiver (Tetra Core) is capable of
handling 96kHz and processing it in 24-bits, a DVD Audio
player can be digitally connected to the receiver whilst
preserving the sound quality of DVD Audio. At the same
time the digital output will provide a signal that can be
recorded on any digital recorder like CDR.

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!

100W powered wO O x subwoofer - Subwoofers add
dynamism to normal music and motion pictures. It sets the
stage for
a
more intense sensation. The 100W Philips
wOOx subwoofer features a down firing 6 1/2" active
woofer to reflect sound waves of the floor. Additionally a 6
1/2" wOOx base radiator adds even more punchy bass. In
all, the subwoofer is sufficiently power packed to generate
that cinema essential sonic sound boom.
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. All video connections are both S-Video and 496mm W x 470mm H x 540mm D

Philips patented wOOx Technology ensures superior bass
results. The dual suspension bass radiator, together with
dedicated amplifier circuitry, is especially designed to
produce and handle high dynamic sound signals at very low
frequencies. Because of the dual suspension, the excursion
of the membrane can be extreme. This, in combination with
the symmetrical sandwich construction, provides for very
low and precise bass without noticeable distortion. The net
effect of using wOOx Technology is a tight bass sound that
is significantly "lower and louder" than conventional mini
shelf systems.

Digital Sound Processing via Tetra CORE - The Philips
Tetra Core sound processor is the successor to the DUET
Core. The Tetra Core IC decodes Dolby Digital, DTS and
Dolby Pro-Logic surround sound. Its huge processing power
of 100 MIPS (million infractions per second) and resolution
of 24-bits assures the highest possible accuracy in digital
audio processing. The Tetra Core accepts incoming digital
signals with sampling frequencies of 32, 44.1, 48 and 96 kHz
(the latter is used in DVD-Audio). Other characteristics are
automatic source detection (Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG and
PCM audio) with smooth (clicking free) switching. Lastly, the
Tetra Core carries digital bass cross-over filters (for
subwoofer signal) and 4th generation virtualizer algorithms
for highly realistic virtual surround sound.
