Crystal Clear Pro ™/Digital Progressive
Scan
An exclusive Philips technology, Crystal Clear Pro combines
a high-quality progressive scan with a pixel-to-pixel compensation to
obtain a clearer and sharper picture. The feature preserves the finest
details of an image with a 108mHz processing chip capable of handling
8x-video oversampling. A set of advanced video picture adjustment settings
includes: Chroma Luma delay to prevent color bleeding, Gamma adjustments
to maximize contrasts and DNR/Sharpness adjustments for increased detail
and noise-free images.
Crystal Clear Pro integrates a 3:2 pull-down
Progressive Scan to compensate for a film frame rate of 24 frames per
second versus the DVD player’s rate of 60 frames per second. It analyzes
the sequence and re-interlaces adjacent frames into the progressive image
for sharper images and greatly reduced flicker. In addition, the feature
also incorporates the DCDi chip from Faroudja to further improve picture
quality.
Benefit: Crystal Clear Pro
provides a clear, razor sharp picture.
Super Audio CD (SACD)
SACD,
the next generation music format, provides a more natural, ultra-high
quality sound due to its use of Direct Stream Digital (DSD) Technology.
DSD provides the highest possible audio quality, both in stereo and
multi-channel surround sound. Unlike conventional systems, DSD does no
down-conversion to PCM, which eliminates processing steps and results in
no sound distortion. With DSD technology, SACD provides smooth migration
to higher quality sound since all types of CDs can be played on the SACD
System. Also, the use of a hybrid disc makes the system fully backward and
forward compatible with these CDs.
Benefit: SACD provides pure, rich sound with the
nuance and ambiance of a live performance.
Dolby Digital® 5.1 Surround
Sound
Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound is “the industry
standard” format for digital surround sound, including HDTV, DVD players
and satellite broadcasts. This technology splits a digital signal into
five distinct audio channels plus one “effects” channel, hence its name,
Dolby 5.1. The format supports center, left and right front stereo
speakers, two rear speakers with separate background channels and a
subwoofer for bass boost and rumbling effects. Since Dolby 5.1 is a
digital signal, the sound is extremely rich and clear with little speaker
noise and clatter.

Digital 5.1 Surround Sound enables you to experience true “cinematic”
surround sound in your Home Theater.

compression technology by which large digital music files can be made up
to 10 times smaller without radically altering their audio quality. For
example, a single MP3-CD can hold 10hours of MP3 music (more than 150
tracks compressed at 128kbps for near-CD quality sound).

Clear Voice
Many DVD movies
lack sound clarity and transparency in the mid-frequency range (1-3kHz)
making it hard for viewers to follow the dialogue, especially in scenes
with dramatic sound effects. An exclusive Philips technology, the Clear
Voice sound algorithm enables the digital sound processor to extract the
voice dynamics in movie dialogues on all five surround channels – without
compromising the width and accuracy of the surround sound
frequencies.
Benefit: Clear Voice
ensures that you enjoy the benefits of full, five channel surround sound
when listening to movie dialogue.
