Philips has found a new way to put a complete home theater system
into another surprising form factor without compromising on quality:
The Philips CinemaOne (http://www.philips.com/ambisound) combines a DVD
and CD player, an iPod dock, a five channel amplifier, six speakers,
and a subwoofer all into a single stylish box of the size of a
football, This small, stylish all-in-one home cinema system is the
perfect fit for small spaces and budgets.
Measuring just 27.3 x 17.2 x 27.3cm (wxhxd) the Philips CinemaOne
surprises with a great surround sound experience caused by six
precisely angled speakers which are positioned around the body of the
CinemaOne. The 4” subwoofer is built into the base of the unit whereby
the installation is clutter free without the need for extra power
cables and speaker wires. With the Philips CinemaOne a cinema like
experience can be created also in smaller spaces like the living room
of a student appartment, the bedroom, or in the office.
Technical details
CinemaOne's five channel amplifier and DSP (Digital Signal Processing)
unit can process Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG2 multichannel or stereo sound
tracks and uses Philips' proprietary sound and array processing
technology to create a realistic and immersive cinema sound effect with
distinct and clear dialogue, a convincingly wide sound stage and
powerful deep bass.
The CinemaOne is compatible with nearly any format of movie – including
DivX, Mpeg and WMV - from just about every type of DVD, CD or iPod. The
dock also allows an iPod to be controlled via the units remote control
while all track information can be accessed via the TV screen.
Movies can be upscaled to 1080p HD resolution with a pristine digital
quality transfer to the TV via the HDMI connector. The CinemaOne also
offers the high quality display of jpeg photos and includes flip,
rotate, slideshow and zoom functions.
A hi-speed USB port and MP3 link allows connection to a huge variety of
portable devices - using PCM, WMA or MP3 - while Philips’ unique
Fullsound technology uses the CinemaOne's DSP to restore the emotion,
warmth and dynamics to compressed MP3 music tracks.
