Moving Surround Sound
Powered by Dolby Virtual Speaker technology,
Moving Surround Sound expands and enriches
the audio and video experience by adding a
'visual' dimension. Listeners can now
appreciate an immersive surround sound
experience that they can also 'see' with
movement. Essentially, both the top speaker
and the metal bullet speaker heads are
motorised so they actually 'move' together to
recreate a surround sound experience. The
combination of the moving speakers creates a
'sound beaming' effect towards the listener,
effectively widening the sound stage and the
sides of the room.

Class 'D' Amplifier
The Class 'D' Digital Amplifier takes an
analogue signal, converts it into a digital signal
and then amplifies the signal digitally. The signal
then enters a demodulation filter to give the
final output. The amplified digital output
delivers all the advantages of digital audio,
including improved sound quality. In addition,
the Class 'D' Digital Amplifier has over 90%
efficiency compared to traditional AB
amplifiers. This high efficiency translates into a
powerful amplifier with a small footprint.

Dolby Virtual Speaker
Dolby Virtual Speaker is a sophisticated audio
virtualisation technology that produces rich
and immersive surround sound from a two-

channel environment. DVD playback is
enhanced by expanding the 2-channel
environment. When combined with Dolby Pro
Logic II processing, any high-quality stereo
source is transformed into true-to-life, multi-
channel surround sound. No need to purchase
extra speakers, wires or speaker stands to
appreciate room-filling sound.

12-bit/108 MHz video DAC
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 limitations of the standard 10-bit
DAC become particularly apparent when it is
used with large screens and projectors.

Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical
resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably
sharper picture. Instead of sending a field
comprising the odd lines to the screen first,
followed by the field with the even lines, it
writes both fields at the same time. A full image
is created instantaneously, using the maximum
resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives
a sharper picture with no line structure.

Dolby Digital
Because Dolby Digital standards, the world's
leading digital multi-channel audio standards,
make use of the way the human ear naturally
processes sound, you experience superb
quality surround sound audio with realistic
spatial cues.
