of depth, localization and overall realism which was formerly
only known from digital surround sound equipped cinemas.

digital sound to reduce the volume differences between the
loud and soft passages in source material with digital
surround sound where sound level differences can be so
dramatic. This feature is especially useful at night when you
don't want to disturb the neighbors or wake up the kids!

350W surround power output - The five, 3x60W (left,
right, center) and 2x60W (rear), receiver amplifiers together
with the 50W subwoofer amplifier deliver 350 Watts of
home theater power.The stereo output power of 50W per
channel is specified at 6 Ohm, 40Hz-20KHz and 0.7% total
harmonic distortion (THD). The amplifiers have been
designed with special attention to a short 'rise' and 'fall'
time, so characteristic for the frequent and sudden drastic
changes in dynamics of movie sound in general.
Furthermore, the amplification reserves are designed such
that they are more than sufficient to follow sudden needs
for more sound pressure.

Digital Sound Processing via DUET CORE - Philips
Semiconductors is highly specialized in digital sound
processing. One of their crown DSP (digital sound
processing) ICs is the 'DUET'.The DUET's huge processing
power of 80 MIPS (million instructions per second) assures
the highest possible accuracy in digital audio processing.
Other characteristics are automatic detection of source
(AC-3, MPEG or PCM audio) and smooth (clicking free)
automatic switching between coding formats. Furthermore
DUET carries digital bass cross-over filters (for subwoofer
signal) and 3rd generation virtualizer algorithms for highly
realistic virtual Dolby. Lastly, DUET has the unique capability
30 tuner presets with station nam e display - The
available tuner presets can be randomly used to store AM
and FM stations (30 in total). Each of the presets can be
given a user defined name of up to 8 characters. Giving the
preset a name is as easy as 1-2-3 with the menu navigator.

Virtual 3D Surround / Virtual Dolby® Surround - A
Dolby Surround playback system delivers amazingly rich and
convincing surround sound from only the two (or three)
front speakers. The Pro-Logic or Dolby Digital® surround
channel is processed by a 'virtualizer' DSP to add the
surround effect from just the front speakers. The Philips
virtualizer algorithm on the 'DUET' DSP is the current state
of the art reference for virtual surround sound processing.
