[. . . ] The Tetra Core accepts incoming digital signals with sampling frequencies of 32, 44. 1, 48 and 96 kHz (the latter is used in DVD-Audio). Other characteristics are automatic source detection (Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG and PCM audio) with smooth (clicking free) switching. Lastly, the Tetra Core carries digital bass cross-over filters (for subwoofer signal) and 4th generation virtualizer algorithms for highly realistic virtual surround sound. Convenience Digital inputs and output - 4 digital inputs (2 coax, 2 optical) are foreseen to connect digital sound sources (e. g. A digital output connection (coax) is foreseen to enable digital (CD) recordings from any of the digital inputs. [. . . ] A digital output connection (coax) is foreseen to enable digital (CD) recordings from any of the digital inputs. Stereo Downmix - The digital output will automatically provide a stereo downmix in case a multichannel signal is detected at any of the digital input connectors. In that way digital audio recordings can be made from movie DVD's (e. g. Live concerts from music DVD's) Video Connections - 4 video input connections and 2 outputs (incl. monitor) are foreseen to hook up video sources. As these video inputs switch simultaneously with the audio inputs, correct picture with correct sound is guaranteed. The backside has in addition to the composite video connections 5 S-Video connectors. Front A/V, Game Input - For quick and easy connection to e. g. Easy hook up - With color coded speaker connections for quick and easy connection of all loudspeakers. By using distinct colors for each of the speaker connection terminal on the speaker and on the set, and using the same color for the cable, the chance of faulty connection (and customer complaints) are practically zero!For multi-rear phantom speakers are added control - To operate all main receiver functions and Philips, Magnavox or any other mainstream branded CD player, tape to the rear speakers. deck, VCR, television and DVD player, Satellite or cable box!The Virtual 3D Surround / Virtual Dolby® Surround - A remote will operate your non-Philips/Magnavox equipment by Dolby Surround playback system delivers amazingly rich and simply entering a code from the instruction manual in the remote convincing surround sound from only the two (or three) front control.
