Highlights
HTS5500C/37
Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical
resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably
sharper picture. Instead of sending a field
comprising the odd lines to the screen first,
followed by the field with the even lines, both
fields are written at one time. A full image is
created instantaneously, using the maximum
resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives
a sharper picture with no line structure.
Superwoofer with 8" driver
Superwoofer with 8" driver meets the
demands of th
through providing more power and volume,
thereby maximizing the bass experience.
Dynamic Bass Boost
Dynamic Bass Boost maximizes your music
enjoyment by emphasizing the bass content of
the music throughout the range of volume
settings - from low to high – at the touch of a
button! Bottom-end bass frequencies usually
get lost when the volume is set at a low level.
e most discerning listener
To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be
switched on to boost bass levels, so you can
enjoy consistent sound even when you turn
down the volume.
Multi-format Movies-DivX, MP4
Multi-format playability allows you to play
m
ost disc formats for maximum compatibility
and viewing pleasure.
Picture CD with MP3 Playback

w
hich you can store your MP3 and digital
pictures. When inserting a Picture CD in the

showing your JPEG's and/or MP3 files on the
disc. Just select the music and pictures files you
wish to enjoy and press play or OK. You can
watch your pictures on TV with your music
playing simultaneously.
