Philips HTS6600 review
Ambisound for full no-fuss multichannel surround sound 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.
1080i HDMI with high definition video upconversion HDMI stands for High
Definition Multimedia Interface. It is a direct digital connection that can
carry digital HD video as well as digital multichannel audio. By
eliminating the conversion to analog signals it delivers perfect picture
and sound quality, completely free from noise. HDMI is fully
backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Video Interface).
Smart Surround optimizes surround settings automatically Enjoy the best
possible listening experience without 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 for an extended, deep bass experience 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 a full,
uncompromised listening experience.
