With this product being 3rd in line of a 4 product line up, I must say that Philips created an excellent price/performance ratio.


Highs: Inexpensive, excellent sound quality, easy to use interface, excellent documentation

Lows: No true Dolby Digital decoder, slightly high CPU utilization

Summary

With this product being ranked 3rd in a 4 product line up, I must say that Philips has created an excellent price/performance ratio. Their innovative ideas for surround sound and low cost speaker enhancement make this product an excellent choice for those looking for an inexpensive, intermediate sound solution. I am hoping that in the future Philips will create a sound card APU (audio processing unit) that will actually include Dolby Digital decoding and encoding, even though they do a pretty good job without it.
