Surround Mode Chart
Dolby Digital: Available only with digital input sources encoded with Dolby Digital data. It provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated Low Frequency Effects channel.
Dolby Digital signals will be down-mixed to
2-channel Stereo or processed to Dolby Virtual Speaker in order to be played back over the 2.1 loudspeaker system.
DTS: Available only with digital input sources encoded with DTS data. Available on special DVD, LD and audio-only discs, DTS provides up to five separate main audio channels and a special dedicated low frequency channel.
DTS signals will be down-mixed to 2-channel Stereo or processed to Dolby Virtual Speaker in order to be played back over the 2.1 loud- speaker system.
Dolby Virtual Speaker: This technology uses a next-generation advanced algorithm to repro- duce the dynamics and surround sound effects of a precisely placed 5.1-channel speaker system using only front left and right speakers. In the Reference Mode, the apparent width of the sound across the front image is defined by the distance between the two speakers. The Wide Mode provides a wider, more spacious front image when the two speakers are close together.

The HS systems are among the first to allow direct playback of compatible files from portable USB devices. Two USB On-The-Go inputs are available, one on the right side of the product and one on the rear panel.
Connect your USB thumb drive or portable hard disk, to either of the side or rear panel USB Inputs 3. If you have more than two devices that you would like to connect at the same time, you can use a standard USB-hub with an external power supply, to which you can connect up to 16 portable USB devices.

If you have a USB device that contains both music files (MP3, WMA) and JPEG images, you can choose to run these simultaneously, mixing the MP3 or WMA audio with your own images. The time interval can be chosen in the Picture Setting.
With such devices, you can also either listen to the MP3 or WMA audio or watch the JPEG video files only. In order to do so, click in stop mode on the MUSIC, PICTURE or MOVIE icons on the left part of the screen to select or deselect the desired format.
NOTE: The HS 150 will not play back any of the formats SVCD/VCD, MPEG1 (Video), MPEG2 (Video) and audio CD tracks (CDDA) stored on an external USB hard drive.
•You will need a FAT32 pre-formatted external hard disk drive with USB connector. If your disk is formatted with another file system (like NTFS) you will need to re-format it. Please contact your hard disk supplier for more information.
•We recommend creating folders and sort the files by file type (movies, pictures or music). This will allow you to quickly find the file you’re looking for.
