Denon DHTFS3 22W x 5 CH Sound Bar Home Theatre System

The DHT-FS3 is a compact and simple solution for home theater surround designed to compliment any TV monitor system by mounting below the viewing area for proper sound distribution.  The High luster finish subwoofer can be placed easily below or near the viewing area.  Dolby and dts decoders, along with the new X-Space technology, deliver stunning spatial sound for enhanced enjoyment.  The remote control is design for easy use and comes preprogrammed with IR codes to operate other brand devices.

Home Theatre Sound Quality

• Surround sound with dynamic ambiance is reproduced with just a front speaker unit and a subwoofer unit.
• X-SPACE SURROUND masterfully reproduces the surround sound and expands the listening area.
  
  The cabinet of the front unit contains 6 speakers. X-SPACE SURROUND is technology that uses those speakers to generate surround algorithms. The sound waves released from the speakers irradiate throughout the room, so that listeners hear the sound from the front left and right, the centre, and the rear left and right. Since X-SPACE SURROUND sends the sound waves out over a wide area, listeners can enjoy surround sound at any location in the room.
• Comes with a subwoofer that reproduces deep, dynamic bass sounds.
• Supports all audio formats (Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic II).
• Includes Dolby Headphone so that you can even enjoy surround entertainment late at night through your headphones.
• Includes feet that can be used to adjust the height of the front speaker unit (25mm or 35mm).
• Designed to match flat-panel TV monitors of 30 inches or larger.
• Subwoofer features one-touch connection.
• Includes simple preset remote controller for performing basic operations such as changing TV channels or switching inputs.
• Convenient Auto Power Standby / On function

Features And Benefits:

X-Space Surround Sound
The cabinet of the front unit contains 6 speakers. X-SPACE SURROUND is technology that uses those speakers to generate surround algorithms. The sound waves released from the speakers irradiate throughout the room, so that listeners hear the sound from the front left and right, the centre, and the rear left and right. Since X-SPACE SURROUND sends the sound waves out over a wide area, listeners can enjoy surround sound at any location in the room.

Dolby Digital-Decoder
Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital consists of up to "5.1" channels - front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right and an additional channel exclusively reserved for additional deep bass sound effects (the Low Frequency Effects - LFE - channel, also called the ".1" channel, containing bass frequencies of up to 120Hz).

Unlike the analog Dolby Pro Logic format, Dolby Digital's main channels can all contain full range sound information, from the lowest bass, up to the highest frequencies - 22kHz. The signals within each channel are distinct from the others, allowing pinpoint sound imaging and Dolby Digital offers tremendous dynamic range from the most powerful sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and distortion.

Dolby Headphone
In conventional headphones, sound is directed into the listener’s ears from two sides in order to preserve the stereo effects from the speakers. Dolby Headphone, however, generates signals that more closely emulate surround sound from the speakers to give you a more realistic multi-channel sound effect through your headphones. Dolby Headphone provides three modes:

DH1: Referred to as Dolby Headphone “Reference Room,” this mode recreates a small, acoustically “dry” room, well suited to both music and movie programmes.

DH2: This mode has an acoustically softer effect than DH1, and is best suited for music recordings.

DH3: This mode gives a greater sense of distance and sonic dispersion to create a large room such as a concert hall or movie theatre.
Dolby Headphone supports Dolby Pro Logic, Pro Logic ll, and Dolby Digital as well as stereo and multi-channel signals. Dolby Headphone reproduces the sonic experience you receive through your speakers from stereo or multi-channel sources

Dolby Pro Logic II
The Dolby Pro Logic ll decoder reproduces dynamic 5.1-channel surround sound from 2-channel sources such as TV, videos and CDs. Dolby Pro Logic ll uses matrix-decoding technology that has been dramatically improved over Pro Logic. With Pro Logic ll, for instance, the Surround channels are in stereo instead of just mono with Pro Logic, and playback covers the full frequency range instead of just up to 7kHz with Pro Logic. These improvements let you enjoy a wide variety of 2-channel sources with the exciting effects of 5.1-channel surround sound. In Dolby Pro Logic ll, there is a Movie mode (*1) that creates a sound field for movies, a Music mode that does the same for music, and a Pro Logic emulation feature that reproduces sound effects in the way that conventional Pro Logic does.

Dolby Pro Logic II Music: The music mode creates a rich and enveloping surround ambience delivered to the subwoofer, optimizing the visceral of planned rear effects. This mode can only be used with 2-channel audio sources.

Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema: The Cinema mode is optimized for movies or programs with Dolby Surround soundtracks. This mode is also appropriate for use with video game.

Dobly Pro Logic II Game: The game mode was implemented to ensure that the bass impact from pure surround effects are fully delivered to the subwoofer, optimizing the visceral of panned rear effects. This mode can only be used with 2-channel audio sources.

DTS-Decoder
A data compression method developed by Digital Threater Systems that takes six channels of audio (5.1) and folds them into a single digital bitstream. This differs from Dolby Digital in that the data rate is a somewhat higher 1.4 Mbs, which represents a compression ratio of about 4 to 1.In order to take advantage of this DVD feature, a DTS decoder is required. DTS decoders are installed internally in Denon players and A/V recievers.
