Philips's MX5600 DVD home theater system encompasses a Dolby Digital/DTS-capable surround sound receiver with an integrated 5-disc-DVD/CD player, along with everything from speaker stands to color-coded speaker wires included in the box. The system's tuner offers 40 FM/AM presets for convenient tuning, and its DVD drive plays DVD, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, and VCD/SVCD, in addition to MP3 CDs and JPEG image CDs/Kodak Picture CDs, making sure you'll never without ample audio-visual entertainment.
Four matching satellite speakers reproduce the front and rear left/right channels from 5.1 surround programs (Dolby Digital or DTS), while a thin, wide, unobtrusive center-channel speaker sits atop your TV or shelf to root dialogue and other critical sound directly in front of you.
The MX5600 offers neither a powered subwoofer nor a traditional RCA subwoofer output. What it does have is clip-type speaker terminals for use with a passive subwoofer. These left/right outputs feed the 2 supplied "bass pipes," which conveniently serve as speaker stands for the front left/right satellites while filling out the system's low end and delivering full-bodied sound from both movies and music.
The system's 100-watts-per-channel receiver delivers a total of 600 watts. The MX5600's four 2-way satellite speakers and center-channel speaker are acoustically designed to match the tonal characteristics of the receiver. Front left, right, and center speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent any interference with your TV's image.
Video features include picture zoom, multi-angle viewing, and parental lock. The receiver features 2 analog-audio inputs and one analog-audio output, along with a coaxial digital-audio output (great for exporting audio to a CD or minidisc recorder). Three video outputs (including the primary monitor output) accommodate a range of televisions, from sets with standard composite-video terminals to sets offering high-resolution component-video inputs.
Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the MX5600 is equipped to deliver the full potential of your DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
Philips's Cinema Center Speaker magnifies your movies while ensuring that what you hear is both natural and realistic. Cinema Center Speaker delivers spacious sound and brings a wider sweet spot through no less than 5 drivers positioned at different angles. These drivers give more depth in sound by clearly distinguishing front from background sound and action from dialogue so even the slightest sound detail will not pass by unnoticed.
Color-coded connectors provide a simple and user-friendly way to connect the speakers and subwoofer to the center unit of the home entertainment system simply by plugging the connectors in the matching colored-interface at the rear of the center unit.
