It utilizes Philip’s proprietary Ambisound technology to reproduce a 7.1-channel experience without the need of multiple speakers and cable. This allows the unit to in fact play high-quality DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD audio videos in full high-definition 1080p. Included also is Clear Voice for more accurate vocals; Fullsound for properly processing compressed MP3 music files; and DoubleBASS, which accurately capture and then recreate both low- and high-frequency audio.
