'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.

Digital audio in/output  
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

'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.

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.

Stereo Downm ix - 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)  
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.

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!

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.
