Next Gen gamers be ready, your A/V solution is here. Featuring three HDMI inputs with Active Intelligence, x.v.Color, and 1080/24p video signal capability, the HTCT100 is fully compatible with HD sources like Blu-ray Disc&trade and PlayStation®.

Featuring a 100% digital S-Master® amplifier and advanced digital signal processing technology, the S-Force surround system delivers realistic surround sound from just two front drivers. Unlike other "virtual surround' technologies, S-Force generates rear sound from the front two speakers using sophisticated digital sound processing, eliminating the need to bounce sound off of side walls in your listening area.

Hey, what is this "1080/24p" thing?

To say that the HTCT100 has 1080/24p signal capability is to say that it is capable of transmitting a hi def video signal with the same frame-rate as film via HDMI. The "1080" means that the HTCT100 is capable of sending your flat-panel HDTV a progressive-scan 1920 x 1080 resolution video image . . . the highest resolution available. Second, the "24" part lets you know that the HTCT100 can also reproduce video recorded at 24 frames-per-second — the same frame rate used by motion pictures. Simply connect the HTCT100 to a 1080/24p display via HDMI and enjoy remarkable video performance from HD sources. Also, theHTCT100 decodes uncompressed audio (LPCM via HDMI) so you can hear the original mix of your favorite hi def video titles. Finally, x.v.Color&trade offers an extended color gamut for more accurate and brilliant color reproduction.
