Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
For small-scale entertainment with an option for large-scale expansion, Koss's stylish KS3151 features not only a powered 2.1-channel stereo speaker system, but a versatile, progressive-scan DVD/CD player, too. The complete listening system handles everything from DVD movies to JPEG image CDs and MP3/WMA music files, and--when it comes time to move to full-blown 5.1-channel surround--you can integrate it with an audio/video surround receiver along with a center-channel speaker and a pair of left/right surround speakers. By itself or with additional hardware, the KS3151 system would be great for gaming, too, especially when matched with a flat-panel LCD television.
The heart of the system is its arched, futuristic-looking source component, which houses both a disc player and its associated preamplifier circuitry (Dolby surround processing, equalizer settings, a radio tuner, and volume control). Antennas for FM and AM radio are included, and the drift-free PLL (phase-locked loop) digital tuner automatically seeks and locks in the strongest stations. You can store up to 20 stations in memory for 1-touch access.
The disc player handles a range of media, jumping effortlessly from DVD-Video movies to homemade DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW media. JPEG discs pop immediately into slideshow mode, filling the screen with vivid landscape images and top-to-bottom portrait shots. (Many DVD players will present images in the middle of the screen, filling otherwise usable space with black.) Zooming is an option for both movies and photos. With non-DVD discs, you can program tracks or images to play in a desired sequence (1 to 99).
For DVDs, you get 2 bookmarks (memory settings for finding your way back to the point, say, where your spouse nodded off) and multi-disc resume. If you're using a high-definition or HD-ready screen, you'll appreciate the progressive-scan video output. 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, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.
A special multipin cable transmits audio from the source unit to the subwoofer, which in turn amplifies audio for the subwoofer signal and the left/right speakers. The amplifier pumps 50 watts to each of the speakers, while the sub itself benefits from 100 watts to give your movies' and games' ".1" LFE (low-frequency effects) signal some kick.
The source unit's rear panel offers a stereo RCA auxiliary input (for a PC or cassette deck), optical and coaxial digital-audio outputs for use with a CD recorder or for hookup with an optional AV surround receiver.

DVD player/preamplifier, 1 subwoofer/amplifier, 1 system cable, 2 satellite speakers, a remote control, FM/AM antennas, color-coded speaker wires, a user's manual, and warranty information.
