DTS, Dolby Digital and Pro Logic II surround sound

A built-in DTS and Dolby Digital decoder eliminates the need for an external decoder by processing all six channels of audio information to provide a surround sound experience and an astoundingly natural sense of ambience and dynamic realism. Dolby Pro Logic II provides five channels of surround processing from any stereo source.

12-bit/108MHz video processing for sharp, natural images

12-bit Video DAC is a superior Digital-to-Analogue-Converter that preserves every detail of the authentic picture quality. It shows subtle shades and smoother graduation of colours, resulting in a more vibrant and natural picture. The limitation of the usual 10bit DAC become in particular apparent while using large screens and projectors.

Customer Reviews

Brilliant Value Home Cinema
Was first attracted by the price, then realised how many features it has, 3.5mm jack input for virtually any audio device, USB memory stick input for mp3's or DivX movies, Multiregion capable (code on the amazon page works !) HDMI up Scaling output too.

The speakers are of good quality, especially the centre speaker and Subwoofer, the tallboy speakers are also very good, by default they are for the rear speakers but I have used them for the font speakers instead.

Set up was very easy, speaker cables have colour coded plugs for ease of use and the manual (although hardly required) is very easy to follow, although the bass is not exactly thumping in your chest, the sound quality is very crisp and all in all I'm highly delighted with my purchace and will recommend to others.

Excellent for the money
£150 for a great system - no hizz, sound quality is fantastic and the unit looks the part. Highly recommended.

Nice Home Theatre System
I bought this system yesterday and I am happy for it. Sound quality is excellent and the installation is very easy. There are lot of features we can use, I have connected my Sky box to this system using a stereo cable and its working fine. Excellent HTS for 150 pounds.
