Ambisound for 5.1 surround sound from fewer speakers

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.

SoundBar with integrated speakers, amplifiers and DVD player

The SoundBar is a complete all-in-one home theater solution that delivers superb 5.1 surround sound for an immersive movie experience. Integrating speakers, amplifiers and DVD player, the SoundBar is all you need below your television. It lets you keep your living room the way you want it, yet delivers an amazing multichannel sound experience - for movie moments shared with friends and family.

Dock your iPod for media playback with on-screen control

The docking station, included with your home theater system, lets you play movies, music and photos from your iPod. What's more, you can control the iPod and browse through its contents on your TV screen - all with the home theater system's remote. The dock brings portable entertainment into your home - with absolute convenience and ease of use.

Matches any flat TV with optimal fit for 42” TV or larger

The SoundBar lends an air of sophistication and grace to any living room. Though it is designed to fit a flat TV with a 42" screen or larger, it will also sit under any other flat TV like a companion - matching all your interior and your lifestyle.

Excellent sound quality with soft dome tweeters & DoubleBASS

Audio quality that is out-of-this-world is brought to you by DoubleBASS and soft dome tweeters. DoubleBASS captures low frequencies and recreates them in the audible range of the subwoofer, so you hear even the deepest bass tones. Soft dome tweeters reproduce clear high and mid-range frequencies that increases the audio clarity and widens the soundstage - so you hear everything, in all its purity.

HDMI 1080p upscales to high definition for sharper pictures

HDMI 1080p upscaling delivers images that are crystal clear. Movies in standard definition can now be enjoyed in true high definition resolution - ensuring more details and more true-to-life pictures. Progressive Scan (represented by "p" in "1080p') eliminates the line structure prevalent on TV screens, again ensuring relentlessly sharp images. To top it off, HDMI makes a direct digital connection that can carry uncompressed digital HD video as well as digital multichannel audio, without conversions to analog - delivering perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise.

Faroudja DCDi for incredibly sharp high quality video

Enjoy incredibly sharp, high quality video on your progressive scan TV with Faroudja DCDi. The feature alleviates jagged edges that appear when standard interlaced video is viewed, especially with moving images - thus delivering natural-looking action scenes. Bring your viewing experience to the next level with clearer smoother pictures

Touch screen controls for easy playback and volume control

Touch screen controls allows you to control the volume as well as other playback options by simply pressing the touch sensitive controls on the front panel.

With Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Link, all you have to do is plug in your USB device, select the movie, music or photo and play away.

EasyLink controls all EasyLink products with a single remote

EasyLink lets you control multiple devices with one remote. It uses HDMI CEC industry-standard protocol to share functionality between devices through the HDMI cable. With one touch of a button, you can operate all your connected HDMI CEC enabled equipment simultaneously. Functions like standby and play can now be carried out with absolute ease.
