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.
