Philips HTS5500C Home Theater System with DVD Changer Stylishly designed with sleek lines in silver and a compact sensibility, the Philips HTS3410/37 home theater system can handle just about any disc and multi-channel sound format you can throw at it. The amplifier’s integrated 5-disc DVD changer is compatible with a wide variety of disc formats and digital files, including DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-R/RW, VCD, SVCD, MP3, WMA, JPEG (Picture CD), MPEG4, and DivX.

The built-in DTS and Dolby Digital decoders eliminate the need for an external decoder by processing all six channels of audio information to provide a surround sound experience and an astoundingly natural sense of ambience and dynamic realism. Dolby Pro Logic II provides five channels of surround processing from any stereo source.

Tech Talk
Picture CD is a CD-R or CD-RW disc on which you can store your MP3 and digital pictures. When inserting a Picture CD in the DVD player, a screen menu will pop up, showing your JPEG’s and/or MP3 files on the disc. Just select the music and pictures files you wish to enjoy and press play or OK. You can watch your pictures on TV with your music playing simultaneously.
Dynamic Bass Boost maximizes your music enjoyment by emphasizing the bass content of the music throughout the range of volume settings–from low to high–at the touch of a button. Bottom-end bass frequencies usually get lost when the volume is set at a low level. To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be switched on to boost bass levels, so you can enjoy consistent sound even when you turn down the volume

Customer Review: unusable
The first one that I ordered didnt work right, but Amazon quickly replaced it. I got a new one in one day.
Customer Review: Good stuff!
I love my Phillips Surround Sound. I love the clarity of the sound and the ease of use is wonderful. My son-in-law hooked it all up for me so I can’t say much about that except he got finished very quickly. He loves anything by Phillips. It was by his recommendation that I purchased this systems. I think you would be very satisfied with this product.
