[. . . ] The five speakers are acoustically specially designed to match the tonal characteristics of the receiver. Front left, right and center speaker are magnetically protected to prevent any interference with television picture tube purity. 350W surround power output - The five, 3x60W (left, right, center) and 2x60W (rear), receiver amplifiers together with the 50W wOOx subwoofer amplifier deliver 350 Watts of home theater power. [. . . ] 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® or DTS 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. '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. 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. 'Multi-Media' is used when video games are connected to the TV. 'Personal' corresponds with the bass and treble setting chosen by the user. Screw terminals - For left , right and center speaker connection ensures a loss-less flow of electrical signals from the set to all main loudspeakers. Convenience Digital inputs and output - 3 digital inputs (2 coax, 1 optical) are foreseen to connect digital sound sources (e. g. 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. 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) 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!As these video inputs switch simultaneously with the audio inputs, correct picture with correct sound is guaranteed. 6 Channel input - Six input selectors at the back of the set allow to connect to any type of multichannel decorder. [. . . ] Switching the receiver to standby will automatically switch off the connected set. 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. Design Display - Color and graphic/character size are defined such that at visibility remains clear even at larger distances.
