Samsung HW-D650S Home Theater System Receiver With iPod/iPhone D

Samsung HW-D650S Home Theater System Receiver With iPod/iPhone Dock could meet and exceed your needs. It can pump out a total audio power of 600 watts, and it has 4 HDMI inputs and one HDMI output. That means you can easily connect your Blu-ray Disc Player, gaming console, set-top box or any other HD device. Of course, you need stellar sound to really put you into the action. This receiver features Crystal Sound Pro, a signature Samsung technology that uses two internal signal filters to remove sound distortion and noise to provide you with crystal clear sound. This sound can be further enhanced by audio codecs (processors) Dolby Digital and DTS -- most DVDs and Blu-ray discs have a soundtrack encoded in one of these. One more way you'll be able to fine tune your sound is Auto Sound Calibration (ASC) -- simply place the included microphone at your listening position and push a button on the remote, and the receiver tunes the output of each speaker to tailor the sound to your space. This process essentially "fingerprints" your space by taking into account unique acoustics present. One of the handy features of the HW-D650S is Smart Volume, which evens out the loud parts of TV commercials or thundering sound effects on your movies. That way, you won't have to reach for the remote every time a commercial comes on, and you can also indulge in late-night viewing without waking the whole house or having angry neighbors come banging on your door. So, in addition to high powered A/V processing the HW-D650S offers a few things to make your life easier. Besides all this, it's likely that you might have an iPod or iPhone -- and if you do, you'll be able to hook it up to the included cradle to widen your options for your home entertainment system. When you dock your device, you can enjoy streamed or stored content, right through your system. It's just another way this receiver helps to customize your entertainment experience. So you can watch a YouTube clip, listen to a favorite iTunes album and watch a flick without skipping a beat (as long as your iPod or iPhone goes online). This receiver also has an MP3 enhancer, so it can put the life back into the compressed files from your portable music player or cell phone. When you play them through your speakers, they'll come out closer to the way they were originally recorded for clear, realistic sound. But it doesn't end there. The HW-D650S also includes 14 DSP settings so you'll be able to simulate the acoustic environment of a rock concert, theater, even 3D-depth sound. But if you're anything like us, you don't just want good sound and video, you want a simplified entertainment experience. If this is the case, you'll be pleased to find that your new HW-D650S has a couple of conveniences to eliminate any headaches and let you jump right into the action of your movies, music or games. First, it has an on-screen display with text for seamless operation, and an IR wireless remote for commanding your A/V system from your favorite spot. This entry level home theater system makes a great foundation. Simply place the included speakers throughout your listening space and sit back to enjoy engulfing audio to fully immerse you in your movies, music and video games. 600 Watts of Audio Power Immerse yourself in multi-channel surround sound. This receiver offers a total power output of 600 watts (100 watts per channel) and supports up to 5.1 channels. You can place your speakers throughout your space to bring your favorite movies to life with realistic, cinematic sound. Digital Surround Sound As a pure digital receiver, the HW-D650S performs digital signal processing to minimize signal distortion and loss. It supports decoding of the Dolby Digital audio format as well as DTS (Digital Theater System), which provides a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio signal for both music and movie contents and uses less compression than Dolby Digital for even richer sound. Crystal Sound Pro (Discrete Amp) This is a proprietary Samsung technology to allow you to hear the best sound possible. It uses Noise Compensation technology to eliminate distracting distortion by sensing signal changes and enhancing response speed. Ultimately, it lets you immerse yourself even further in your entertainment by offering a rich, detailed sound field to throw you into the action. Auto Sound Calibration (ASC) Fingerprints Your Space Auto Sound Calibration automatically configures the speakers and subwoofer. Simply place the ASC microphone next to your favorite viewing spot, press the ASC button on your remote control and sit back to enjoy superb sound tailored to your listening space. iPod/iPhone Dock Included Portable devices are becoming an integral part of our lives, and there's no reason they shouldn't be incorporated into your home entertainment system. The HW-D650S comes with a cradle for your compatible iPod or iPhone, so you can enjoy streamed or stored video and audio from your favorite iDevices. MP3 Enhancer Another way the HW-D650S enhances your listening experience is the MP3 enhancer function. While it's convenient to listen to MP3 files on a portable music device or Smartphone, this format is highly compressed and simply a recording of the original. This receiver is able to improve the performance of your MP3 files, making highs and lows richer and smoother so that it's as close to the original as possible. Smart Volume If you've ever watched a TV program and jumped for the remote when the commercials came on, you'll appreciate Samsung's thoughtful inclusion of Smart Volume on this receiver. This feature intuitively smoothes out loud noises on TV programming or movie sound effects like gunshots, explosions or car crashes. It's also ideal for late-night viewing so you can watch TV without disturbing the household. HDMI CEC (Anynet+) Anynet+ is a function that can be used to operate the system using a Samsung TV remote control, by connecting the unit to a Samsung TV using an HDMI cable. This is only available with Samsung TVs that support Anynet+. Now you can operate the HW-D650S, power on your TV, or watch a movie at the touch of a button on your Samsung TV's remote control.
