Highlights

HTS3568/98

Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Link

The Universal Serial Bus or USB is a protocol
standard that is conveniently used to link PCs,
peripherals and consumer electronic
equipment. Hi-Speed USB devices have a data
transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps - up from the
12 Mbps in original USB ones. With Hi-Speed
USB 2.0 Link, all you have to do is plug in your
USB device, select the movie, music or photo
and play away.

HDMI 1080p

EasyLink

EasyLink lets you control multiple devices with
one remote. It uses HDMI CEC industry­standard protocol to share functionality
between devices through the HDMI cable.
With one touch of a button, you can operate
all your connected HDMI CEC-enabled
equipment simultaneously. Functions like
standby and play can now be carried out with
absolute ease.

DTS, DolbyDigital, ProLogic II

room. The DivX media format is an MPEG4­based video compression technology that
enables you to save large files such as movies,
trailers and music videos on media, e.g. CD-R/
RW and DVD recordable discs. DivX Ultra
combines DivX playback with great features
including integrated subtitles, multiple audio
languages, multiple tracks and menus into one
convenient file format.

Karaoke scoring

Add a dash of fun to your Karaoke sessions
with Karaoke Scoring. Allow your
performance to be judged for further
improvement, or for friendly competitions.
Karaoke Scoring automatically rates your
singing and gives you a humorous picture that
is tied to how well you did. The fun never ends.

HDMI 1080p upscaling delivers images that are
crystal clear. Movies in standard definition can
now be enjoyed in true high definition
resolution - ensuring more details and more
true-to-life pictures. Progressive Scan
(represented by "p" in "1080p") eliminates the
line structure prevalent on TV screens, again
ensuring relentlessly sharp images. To top it
off, HDMI makes a direct digital connection
that can carry uncompressed digital HD video
as well as digital multi-channel audio, without
conversions to analogue - delivering perfect
picture and sound quality, completely free
from noise.

A built-in DTS and 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.

encoded videos in the comfort of your living
