This SoundBar also comes with Faroudja DCDi for ultra sharp high quality images. Experience your DVDs as never before!. During the initial launch of the HDTV industry, broadcasters recognized that a means of very high quality upconversion of NTSC was required. The DCDi algorithm was designed to eliminate the staircasing effect that conventional upconverters introduced to diagonal edges. DCDi's unique algorithm identifies all the moving edges in a scene and adjusts the angle of interpolation at each pixel so that the interpolation always follows the edge instead of crossing it, eliminating staircasing or jagged edge artifacts. The result is a smooth and natural looking image. DCDi is a video mode algorithm that stands for Directional Correlation Deinterlacing. It was designed for video based material like fast-paced sporting events. Its purpose is to eliminate jagged edges (jaggies) along diagonal lines caused by interpolation. If you remember, you are not simply weaving together two fields of video that match, you have to create new information through the art of interpolation which is really a fancy way to say you are guessing. DCDi monitors edge transitions and fills in the gaps. The technology was introduced a few years back in the digital format translator, a $500,000 system that broadcasters like CBS use to upconvert NTSC to HD. It was/is used to upconvert standard definition material (480i, what we have on conventional TV) to enhanced definition quality (480p). You may already be enjoying DCDi today on your digital TV.   Plays back DVDs PAL/SECAM/NTSC, DVD Region Code 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 RCE/REA/RSS enahnced/coded, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, DVD-audio, CD, CD-R/-RW, MP3, WMA, JPEG, DivX, XviD, Music Photo Album and MPEG-4 formats. In addition you can connect your iPOD (iPOD cable included) to this great home theater system. (iPod not included). This unit beats many home theather systems available in the market today. Conventional 5.1 set-upIn conventional 5.1 systems sound beams come directly from the front and back. This creates the surround sound experience. However, a system with multiple speakers and wires creates clutter. And it disagrees with most home decor. Ambisound set-upAmbisound realises a full multi-channel surround sound experience with speakers only in front. Unique and thoroughly researched techniques enable you to perceive sounds as if they originate from all corners of the room.                                                              DivX, XviD AVI and MPEG4 Compatible Enjoy high-quality movies that you've recorded from your PC. Precisely angled driver positioningDue to the presence of aliasing, a band pass filter is applied to the surround channels and the front channels. This removes the higher frequencies at which aliasing occurs.As such, array processing is applied only to lower frequencies.High frequency sounds are naturally more easily directed, and Ambisound capitalizes on this. As in a conventional multi-channel home theater system, center channels and front channels are fed to drivers pointing at the listener, providing direct sound. Surround channels are fed to the outer drivers. These are deliberately placed at an angle so that they point away from the listener and he perceives only the indirect and diffused sound. Psychoacoustic phenomena A simple example of psychoacoustic phenomena is the directional sensation of sound. Because sounds reach each of our ears at different times, we can tell which direction sounds come from. Ambisound changes the characteristics of surround channels so that they carry the same key characteristics as sounds coming from the rear. The result? Embracing surround sound from fewer speakers. In addition to all those great features, the winner of this auction gets a free brand new HDMI to HDMI cable a $89.99 value, so that you can hook up your HDTV and enoy the ride.     If you have no need for HDMI cable we can substitute it with a high quality component cable, simply send us an email and let us know that you want the component cable instead of the HDMI cable, $79.99 value.   AMBISOUND - The Ambisound surround sound system, powered by a full multi-channel amplifier, uses an advanced digital sound processing technology that provides multi-channel surround sound from fewer speakers. By positioning independent drivers at precise angles, a powerful multi-channel surround sound is produced and experienced in any room shape and size. SMARTSOUND - Enjoy the best possible sound without having to make surround setting changes everytime 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. DOUBLE BASS - DoubleBASS is a Philips proprietary DSP algorithm that extends the range of the lower frequencies by capturing frequencies lower than 30Hz and recreates them in the audible range of the subwoofer. This ensures you hear even the deepest bass tones despite the compact size of the subwoofer. Soft Dome Tweeters reproduce clear high and mid-range frequencies that enhance the overall clarity of sound from the speakers. DTS, Dolby Digital and Pro Logic II surround sound - 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. FAROUDJA DCDi - Directional Correlation De-interlacing is a video processing technology invented and patented by Faroudja that gives you incredibly sharp high quality videos on your progressive scan TV. iPOD and USB - This unique connection allows you to hook up the 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. Simply plug your device into the USB port on your Philips DVD system. Your digital music and photos will be played directly from the device. Now you can share your favorite moments with family and friends.    Specifications:  Plays DVD's from all of these Region CodesRegion 1 - USA, CanadaRegion 2 - Japan, Europe, Middle-East, South AfricaRegion 3 - South Korea, Hong Kong, TaiwanRegion 4 - New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, South AmericaRegion 5 - Former Soviet Union, Africa, Indian Sub-ContinentRegion 6 - China Plays PAL and NTSC Region DVDs on NTSC (USA TV)  Picture/Display Picture enhancement :  High Def (720p, 1080i, 1080p), Video upscaling, Faroudja DCDi Sound Sound System :  Ambisound, Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Prologic II, Stereo Sound Enhancement :  Smart Surround, DoubleBass, Treble and Bass Control Equalizer settings :  Action, Rock, Concert, Classic, Drama, Jazz, MTV, RnB, Gaming, Party, Cartoon, Lounge, News, Sports Loudspeakers Loudspeaker types :  Integrated with main unit Speaker Drivers :  2 x 1" Soft Dome tweeters, 6 x 2.5" Full Range woofers Speaker Impedance :  6 ohm Subwoofer type :  Active Subwoofer driver :  1 x 6.5" Long Throw woofer Subwoofer impedance :  4 ohm Subwoofer freq range :  30-120 Hz Video Playback Compression formats :  DivX 3.11, DivX 4.x, DivX 5.x, DivX 6.0, DivX Ultra, MPEG1, MPEG2 Playback Media :  DVD-Video, DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R/-RW, Video CD/SVCD, CD-R/CD-RW Video disc playback system :  NTSC, PAL, Region 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 RCE/REA DVDs Audio Playback Compression format :  MP3, WMA Playback Media :  Audio CD, CD-R/RW, USB flash drive MP3 bit rates :  32-256 kbps and VBR Still Picture Playback Picture compression format :  JPEG Playback Media :  CD-R/RW, DVD+R/+RW, USB flash drive Picture enhancement :  Slideshow with music playback, Rotate, Zoom Tuner/Reception/Transmission Tuner Bands :  AM, FM Connectivity Front / Side connections :  Dock connector, MP3 Line-in, USB Rear Connections :  HDMI output, Component Video output, Composite video (CVBS) output, TV in (audio, cinch), Easy-Fit speaker connectors, Interconnect (to Power Box) Subwoofer (Power Box) :  FM Antenna, AM/MW Antenna, Coaxial Digital input, AUX In (cinch, 2 pairs), Interconnect (to Main Unit) Dimensions Set Width :  935 mm Set Height :  146 mm Set Depth :  136 mm Set weight :  7 kg Subwoofer Width :  295 mm Subwoofer Height :  446 mm Subwoofer Depth :  295 mm Subwoofer Weight :  10.5 kg Packaging Width :  1025 mm Packaging Height :  359 mm Packaging Depth :  565 mm Weight incl.
