They feature a powered subwoofer with integrated amplifier, a con=rol module/decoder unit, and five satellites.

T=e subwoofer cranks out 116 watts, the front satellites 38 watts, the center is 42 watts= and the wireless rear speakers 40.5 watts. The decoder is a pretty good piece of kit, really. It has three 1/8-inch stereo jack inputs for analog 6-channel sound, a coaxial digital input, and=two optical inputs.

There's also an extra 1/8-inch stereo line input jack and headphone out=ut jack; the system will shut off speakers and switch to stereo mode automatic=lly when headphones are plugged in. The system supports Dolby Digital, DTS, and DTS 24/96 decoding, as well =s uncompressed PCM up through 24-bit 96KHz. We should note that with 24/96 material, the rear speaker signal is down sampled to 48KHz, but we didn'=t really notice much of a difference in our subjective listening tests. Dolby=Pro Logic II is also supported, with both Movie and Music playback modes. click on image for full view The rear speakers operate on a 2.4GHz frequency and are meant to be used=within 28 feet of the decoder unit, though some users might be able to get much greater range. Note that 2.4Ghz is enough for uncompressed CD quality audio= though not quite enough for 24-bit, 96KHz data. To be honest, we don't find the range limitation a problem. These ar= near-field speakers, and aren't designed or intended to really fill a l=rge room. For that, you need a more substantial home-theater setup. Though the 2.4GHz band is very popular and could cause interference with everything fr=m wireless routers to microwaves and some new cordless phones, we had exactly zero problems in hours of testing. Our environment isn't exactly what y=u would call "clean" from a wireless signal point of view, too. The apart=ent we tested in is surrounded by neighbors and their gadgets, uses an active 801.11g router, a wireless phone, and some wireless PC peripherals in the s=me room as well as the room next door. Again, we never experienced even the slightest hiccup, sound delay, or distortion from the satellites. EFTA_R1_01674375 EFTA02531124 The remote is basic but functional.
