DTS, DolbyDigital, ProLogic II

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.

12-bit/108 MHz video DAC

12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to- Analogue Converter that preserves every detail of the authentic picture quality.

The limitations of the standard 10-bit DAC become particularly apparent when it is used with large screens and projectors.

Colour-coded connectors provide a simple and user-friendly solution for connecting the speakers and subwoofer to the centre unit of the home entertainment system simply by plugging the connectors into the matching coloured interface at the rear of the centre unit.
