Description:

The Philips MX5000D consists of a Dolby Digital/DTS-capable surround sound receiver with an integrated three-DVD/CD changer, five compact satellite speakers, and a 125-watt powered subwoofer for full throttle theater power. The MX5000D has a Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Pro Logic channel decoder. The DVD drive plays DVD, DVD+RW, and VCDs, as well as CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 CDs. A full onscreen display simplifies setup and operation. Other video features include zoom, multi-angle viewing, and parental lock. The system's 115-watts-per-channel receiver and 125-watt subwoofer deliver a total of 700 watts of home theater power. The amplifier was designed with special attention to the extreme dynamics possible in DVD movie presentations.

The system's five two-way (three-driver) satellite speakers are acoustically designed to match the tonal characteristics of the receiver. Front left, right, and center speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent any interference with your TV's image. The sixth speaker is a 125-watt subwoofer with a front-firing 6.5-inch woofer and Twinport bass tubes to reflect sound waves off the floor, thereby heightening the overall impact. The tuner offers 30 FM/AM presets.

The receiver features two analog-audio inputs and three analog-audio outputs, along with three digital-audio inputs (two coaxial, one optical). Three video inputs and two video outputs (including the primary monitor output) accommodate other video components. Philips' use of distinct colors for each speaker cable and for each terminal on the speaker and the receiver greatly simplifies speaker setup.

The package contains a remote control, batteries, instruction for use, AM and FM antennas, a quick-installation card, warranty information, six loudspeakers, speaker cable (left/right: two nine-foot lengths; center: nine feet; surround: two 33-foot lengths), a subwoofer connection cable, a digital-audio interconnect, and a composite-video cable.
