Highlights

HTS8100/37

Ambisound

Ambisound technology produces truly
e

mbracing multi-channel surround sound from
fewer speakers. It delivers an immersive 5.1
sound experience without the constraints of
sitting position, room shape or size, and
without the clutter of multiple speakers and
cables. Through the combined effect of
psychoacoustic phenomena, array processing
and precisely angled driver positioning,
Ambisound delivers more sound from fewer
speakers.

1080p HDMI

1080p HDMI upconversion 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 multichannal
audio, without conversions to analog ­delivering perfect picture and sound quality,
completely free from noise.

Faroudja DCDi

Enjoy incredibly sharp, high quality video on
y

our progressive scan TV with Faroudja DCDi.
The feature alleviates jagged edges that appear
when standard interlaced video is viewed,
especially with moving images - thus delivering
natural-looking action scenes. Bring your
viewing experience to the next level with
clearer smoother pictures

Connect your iPod

This unique connection allows you to hook up
th

e Philips dock to the home theater system
for media playback from your iPod. With
Extended User Interface, you can also enjoy
the convenience of direct access and viewing of
your iPod content on your TV screen.

Smart Surround

Enjoy the best possible listening experience
w

ithout having to make surround setting
changes every time you change a disc or switch
between movies and music. Unlike normal 5.1
systems that feature default multi-channel
surround settings, Smart Surround
automatically changes the surround settings to
suit your music encoded in stereo or your
movie with multi-channel content.

DoubleBASS

DoubleBASS ensures you hear even the
dee

pest bass tones from compact-sized
subwoofers. It captures low frequencies and
recreates them in the audible range of the
subwoofer - delivering sound with more boom
and panache, and ensuring you a full,
uncompromised listening experience.

Soft dome tweeters

Soft Dome Tweeters reproduce clear high and
mid-range frequencies that enhance the
clarity of sound from the speakers.
