Description:

Designed with an eye for style, a spirit of convenience, and an ear for quality sound, Samsung's HT-SK6 merges all the source components of a home theater into a single, appealing package. The system includes a progressive-scan DVD player alongside Klipsch's award-winning Quintet Microsystem speakers: five horn-loaded two-way satellites and a 10-inch powered subwoofer. The system was made to deliver uncompromising audio/video performance through a knockout combination of power and accuracy. But it's also compact--so you can enjoy classy home entertainment with minimal setup time right in your existing living space.

High power--100 watts per channel times five for the left, right, center, and left/right surround channels--means true home-theater power, bolstered by 225 watts peak power for the subwoofer (55 watts continuous). The DVD player handles playback for standard DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, VCD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 CD--perfect for commercial and most homemade discs alike.

The Klipsch Quintet claims to be the world's smallest horn-loaded surround speaker system. Klipsch's exclusive MicroTractix Horn drives the four seven-inch-tall satellites and unassuming center channel, delivering a broad sound stage with smooth yet powerful sound.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the HT-SK6's DVD player is ready to deliver the full potential of DVDs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, providing higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Interlaced component-video outputs help minimize digital and line-scan artifacts on compatible advanced televisions, while composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

The HT-SK6's DVD player also performs 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture. And did we mention the system's surround processing prowess? You'll enjoy enveloping audio decoding for both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround formats, as well as Dolby Pro-logic II, which converts two-channel audio tracks from any source into five-channel surround sound.

The system offers additional connectivity for existing audio/video components, such as a VCR, cable box, or satellite receiver. Other features include an FM/AM tuner with 30 station presets, supplied FM and AM antennas, and a headphone jack (.125-inch minijack) for private listening.
