HDMI 1080p with true high definition video upscaling

HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface and intelligently communicates the highest output resolution from the source device. It is a direct digital connection that can carry uncompressed digital HD video as well as digital multichannel audio - eliminating the conversion to analogue signals so you get perfect picture and sound quality, completely free from noise. In addition, with HDMI video upscaling, you can increase the resolution of SD (Standard Definition) video signals that DVDs use to HD (High Definition) so you'll see more details and sharper, more true-to-life pictures.

Faroudja DCDi for incredibly sharp high quality video

Directional Correlation De-interlacing is a video processing technology invented and patented by Faroudja that gives you incredibly sharp high quality videos on your progressive scan TV.

Smart Surround optimises surround settings automatically

Enjoy the best possible sound without having to make surround setting changes every time you change a disc or switch between movies and music. Unlike normal 5.1 systems that feature default multi-channel surround settings, Smart Surround automatically changes the surround settings to suit your music encoded in stereo or your movie with multi-channel content.

DoubleBASS for an extended, deep bass experience

DoubleBASS is a Philips proprietary DSP algorithm that extends the range of the lower frequencies by capturing frequencies lower than 30Hz and recreates them in the audible range of the subwoofer. This ensures you hear even the deepest bass tones despite the compact size of the subwoofer.

Soft dome tweeters for pure clarity

Soft Dome Tweeters reproduce clear high and mid-range frequencies that enhance the overall clarity of sound from the speakers.

USB Direct plays photos and music from USB flash drives

Simply plug your device into the USB port on your Philips DVD system. Your digital music and photos will be played directly from the device. Now you can share your favourite moments with family and friends.

Sophisticated design which matches your Flat TV
