[. . . ] 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. DTS - DTS surround sound is a cinema surround sound audio format that offers superior digital audio performance than other available surround sound formats. 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. [. . . ] 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 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. 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!51-key Audio/Video Multi Brand Universal remote control - To operate all main receiver functions and Philips, Magnavox or any other mainstream branded CD player, tape deck, VCR, television and DVD player, Satellite or cable box!The remote will operate your Philips equipment by simply entering a code from the instruction manual in the remote control. The remote has a clear ergonomically designed lay-out (see picture) 30 tuner presets with station name display - The available tuner presets can be randomly used to store AM and FM stations (30 in total). Each of the presets can be given a user defined name of up to 8 characters. Tuner sensitivity adjustment - 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. 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. 100W powered wOOx subwoofer - Subwoofers add dynamism to normal music and motion pictures. The 100W Philips wOOx subwoofer features a down firing 6 1/2" active woofer to reflect sound wave of the floor. [. . . ] Lastly, the Tetra Core carries digital bass cross-over filters (for subwoofer signal) and 4th generation virtualizer algorithms for highly realistic virtual surround sound.
