Highlights

HTS8141/98

Ambisound technology

Ambisound technology produces truly
embracing 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.

Faroudja DCDi

DoubleBASS

DoubleBASS ensures you hear even the
deepest 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 get a full,
uncompromised listening experience.

FullSound™

MP3 music in true-to-life sound that will touch
your soul and move your feet.

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.

Dock your iPod

Enjoy incredibly sharp, high-quality video on
your 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
