Our heritage
This iconic radio set was nicknamed ‘The Little Chapel’.
Chapel Radio, 1931.
Our new levels of acoustic realism and authenticity date
back to the launch of our rst sound product, the Philips
“Chapel” radio in 1931. Over the years, our dedication to
sonic perfection has inspired innovations that have forever
changed how the world hears and experiences sound.
In addition to pioneering the rst ever shortwave transmitter,
we invented the cassette tape and CD and also introduced
the world’s rst Internet-connected micro Hi-Fi system.
Our ingenuity continues to this day with not only the world’s
rst DVD/Blu-ray playback-integrated Soundbar, but also its
rst Surround on Demand system.
Each of our home cinema products is characterized by
unparalleled sound quality. All thanks to talented acoustic
engineering teams and special “Golden Ears” sound
specialists who are trained to detect every audio nuance and
committed to creating an acoustic experience you will love.
Today, our home cinema range runs the gamut of speaker
arrangements. The Immersive Sound has a traditional 5.1
speaker setup for the sound purists. The 2.1 home cinema
with two speakers and a subwoofer will ll your room with
a lifelike cinematic experience from fewer speakers. If space
is at a premium in your home, our sleek, unobtrusive, underthe-TV Soundbars are your solution.

Enhanced TV Sound
As TVs become thinner and thinner, the sound from
in-built speakers is growing steadily weaker.
Philips Soundbars give your movies, video games and
music the powerful, high quality punch they deserve.
Keep it simple with Soundbar
Our Soundbars are the simplest way to bring big screen magic
to life at home. Thanks to our proprietary technology, just one
Soundbar gives you an experience every bit as immersive as
full 5.1 surround sound.
If you have a modern home where space is at a premium style
and simplicity are a must. Our eye-catching Soundbars cut
down on clutter and look great in the most fashionable setting.
Choose your Soundbar
Establishing the features you need, how you’ll use them
and where you’ll put the Soundbar, will help you decide
on everything from sound quality to playback options even color.
Philips Soundbars cover all the sound technologies
and playback options you could need. The Ambisound
technology offers a truly enveloping sound experience
from one speaker product. The innovative Surround on
Demand features detachable speaker units that can be
placed behind the listener. Vir tual surround sound,
Dolby Digital and a range of subwoofers are also available.
These technologies work their magic on sound played
back through HDMI, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Blu-ray/DVD.

Ambisound
The end product of decades of audio engineering and
processing prowess, this premier proprietary surround
sound technology embodies a deep understanding of
“psychoacoustics” human listening experiences. Each
exquisitely designed Soundbar with Ambisound integrates
carefully positioned speakers that enable the single unit
you place below your TV to pump out immersive 5.1-like
surround sound, regardless of your room’s size or shape.
Virtual surround sound
Empowered by a wealth of ultra-advanced spatial
algorithms that perfect sound waves, Virtual surround
sound creates the illusion of multi-speaker sound and
“wraps” you in a web of audio. Realistic and all embracing,
the acoustics effectively capture high quality stereo and
reprocess it into immersive surround sound without
additional speakers.
Dolby technology
Equipped with state-of-the-art Dolby technology, our
Soundbars deliver the best home theatre surround
sound money can buy. Advanced Dolby technologies
currently available on our Soundbars include loss-free
sound delivery and 5.1 surround sound audio codecs

to suit different needs. This includes wireless active
subwoofers with their own amplier for powerful bass;
integrated subwoofers that integrate into a Soundbar for
a complete clutter-free bass solution; passive subwoofers
which rely on an external amplier delivering an deep
bass solution; and the bass reex system that delivers
