Design  
-
Digital inputs and output - 4 digital inputs (2 coax, 2 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.  
Harm onized Philips Hom e Cinem a Com ponents Design -  
The design of this component follows the design language of the  
Philips Harmonized Home Cinema design. Characteristics of this  
design language are stylish, simple, capable, powerful and rich. All  
Philips Home Cinema components and HiFi components will follow  
this design (e.g.VCR, CD Changer, CD Recorder DVD, etc).  
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.

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)  
Connections  
Video Connections - 4 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. The backside has in  
addition to the composite video connections 2 component video  
inputs and 1 output (fullYUV).  
DTS - DTS surround sound is a cinema surround sound audio  
format that offers superior digital audio performance than other  
available surround sound formats. DTS 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.

Front A/V, Gam e Input - For quick and easy connection to  
e.g. a camcorder or a video game console.  
500W surround power output - The five 100W (left, right,  
center) and 2x100W (rear), receiver amplifiers deliver 500 Watts  
of home theater power. 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.  
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!

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

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.

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.  
Standby power <2W - To help save energy consumption, the  
standby transformer of this set has been designed not to  
consume more than 2 Watt in standby mode.  
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Philips has determined  
that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines  
for energy efficiency.
