Highlights

Surround on Demand

s

urround sound whenever you want it. Simply
detach the wireless surround speakers from
the left and right main speaker units and place
them at the rear of the room to get
multichannel surround sound experience with
your games and movies. When the action is
over, reattach the speakers for music and TV
shows. Using proprietary wireless audio
technology with surround speakers that

HDMI x 2

Enjoy larger-than-life 3D playback and crystal­clear 5.

1 or 7.1 audio by simply plugging our
player's audio HDMI x 2 output to the
connection in your non-3D AV receiver.

Dolby Digital and Pro Logic II

A built-in Dolby Digital decoder eliminates the
need for an external decoder by processing all
six channels of audio information to provide a
surround sound experience and an
astoundingly natural sense of ambience and
dynamic realism. Dolby Pro Logic II provides
five channels of surround processing from any
stereo source.

An advanced spatial calibration function
developed by our unique innovation lab
ensures the best possible balance of sound,
regardless of where in a room rear speakers
have been placed. When triggered, this
function uses a specially designed tonal signal
to locate each of the rear speakers. It then uses
this information to identify the best sound
balance for this speaker placement and adjusts
the sound of each speaker to match. This
allows the listener to enjoy properly balanced
sound even if speakers are placed outside of
the ideal position.

Premium soft dome tweeters

With Philips' Crystal Clear Sound, you will
no

w be able to discern and appreciate every
sound detail, the way it's meant to be heard
and as the artist or director intended! Crystal
Clear Sound reproduces the sound source ­whether it's an action movie, a musical or a live
performance - faithfully, precisely and without
any distortion. Philips home theaters with

Both of the Fidelio B5's detachable rear
speakers feature an independent Bluetooth
module, making them truly independent. This
means they can be taken anywhere, in the
home or out, for total freedom of musical
enjoyment. Each portable speaker has a total
power output of 8W, so they can deliver
powerful sound wherever they are. With two
rear detachable speakers and a central sound
bar unit, a single Fidelio B5 unit can bring music
to three different places at the same time.

NFC technology

Pair Bluetooth devices easily with one-touch
NFC (Near Field
technology. Just tap the NFC enabled
smartphone or tablet on the NFC area of a
speaker to turn the speaker on, start
Bluetooth pairing, and begin streaming music.

Near listening sound mode

A range of built-in sound settings help you get
the sound you need in any situation. If watching
a movie or TV show, 'Voice' mode emphasizes
dialogue so you never miss out on what is
being said, while 'Movie' mode gives you the
classic surround sound experience. If you are
listening to music you can change the entire
experience with 'music' mode. Finally, the
'Close to me' mode lets you enjoy your shows
without disturbing your family and friends. It
mutes the center speaker and only plays sound
from the wireless detachable speakers, so that
you can place these close to you and listen
quietly.
