Sound Enhancement

2 x 150 Watts + 50 Watts + 2 x 25 Watts Dolby®
Pro Logic Output Mode
150 Watts L/R front, 50 Watts center, 25 Watts L/R rear
RMS output power per channel at 6 ohms from 80Hz-
16kHz, with no more than 10% Total Harmonic distortion.

5-Speaker Dolby® Pro Logic Surround Sound
System
Provide the current industry standard for home theater
sound from VCR and laserdisc movies. The front left and
right speakers deliver detailed, directional sound as the
center channel speaker "steers" dialogue/vocal sound to
where you see the mouth moving - at the TV screen.
Both surround speakers add a greater sense of depth
with special effects and time delay, making every living
room a home theater with spaceships overhead, aliens
behind the couch but no gum on the floor.

wOOx Techonology
Philips patented wOOx Technology ensures superior bass
results. The dual suspension bass radiator, together with
dedicated amplifier circuitry, is especially designed to produce
and handle high dynamic sound signals at very low
frequencies. Because of the dual suspension, the excursion
of the membrane can be extreme (see illustration). This, in
combination with the symmetrical sandwich construction,
provides for very low and precise bass without noticeable
distortion. The net effect of using wOOx Technology is a
tight bass sound that is significantly "lower and louder" than
conventional mini shelf systems.

Interactive Sound Studio
(Jog + DSC + VEC + PS)
The Sound Navigation System is a complete set of sound
manipulation tools consisting of

6 Digital Sound Control settings : (CLASSIC, ROCK,
VOCAL, TECHNO, OPTIMAL, JAZZ),
6 Virtual Environment Control Modes : (HALLl,
DISCO, CONCERT, CINEMA, CLUB, ARCADE),
6 personal settings : To preserve your favorite sound
settings and save them into 6 different memory settings,

3-Step wOOx Level Control
As the human ear does not perceive low frequencies at
the same level as higher frequencies (though at the same
"volume"), the bass sound needs to be enhanced to
achieve maximum impact. The wOOx is progressively
driven at different optimization levels in setting wOOx 1,
2 and 3.

3-Way Bass Reflex Speaker System with Bass
Radiator with wOOx
Equipped with one 6

" woofer for smooth low and mid

range reproduction, one 2

" ferro-fluid cooled tweeter

and one 1" Polydome tweeter for crisp high tones. 6
