USB PC Link
USB PC Link lets you playback your MP3 music through
the powerful speakers of Philips sound systems instead
of your PC speakers. By connecting a PC directly to your
audio system with a USB cable, you can stream MP3
music directly to your sound system, transforming your
PC into a 'massive MP3 music jukebox'. The control
buttons on the sound system and remote control
provide easy navigation and control of the MP3 music
stored in the MusicMatch Playlist. You can also view
song title information as well as elapsed play time on
the sound system's display.
Song title display
MAX Sound
MAX Sound technology produces an instant boost in
bass, maximises volume performance, and instantly
creates the most impressive listening experience with
just a touch of the MAX Sound button. The MAX Sound
electronic circuitry calibrates the existing sound and
volume setting, and instantly boosts bass and volume to
a maximum level without distortion. Both sound
spectrum and volume get noticeably amplified, creating
a potent audio boost that will add mileage to any music.
MAX Sound lets you get the most from your audio
system without having to alter complicated equaliser
settings.
2-Way Bass Reflex System
2x50W RMS/ 2x100W music power
Digital sound control
Digital Sound Control lets you select from pre-set modes
that control the frequency bands of sound to optimise
certain musical styles. You can chose between different
sound settings - Optimal, Jazz, Rock, Techno, Pop or
Classic. Each mode uses graphic equalising technology
to automatically adjust the sound balance and enhance
the most important sound frequencies in your chosen
music style. Digital Sound Control lets you get the most
out of your music by adjusting the sound balance to
match the music type you are playing.
Virtual environment control
Virtual Environment Control (VEC) creates a virtual
sound environment in which the listener can experience
music as it would sound in various simulated sound
settings. VEC sound settings digitally mimic the
acoustical effects that are characteristic of special
rooms and environments such as Hall, Cinema, and
Concert. By recreating the sound ambience of different
environments and settings, VEC dramatically enhances
enjoyment of your favourite music.
