Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The ideal theater for homes with standard or high-definition televisions, the Philips LX3500D consists of a Dolby Digital/DTS-decoding surround sound receiver with an integrated single-disc progressive-scan DVD/CD player, five satellite speakers, and a powered subwoofer. The DVD drive reads DVD, DVD+RW, and VCD, as well as CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3 CDs. A full onscreen display simplifies setup and operation.

If you're using (or plan to use) a high-definition or HD-ready TV, you'll appreciate the system's progressive scanning, which is referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image. This feature creates a picture with twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD image, providing sharper, higher resolution images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. The LX3500D also offers 3:2 pulldown. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown corrects this distortion to display a film-frame-accurate picture. Composite- and S-video outputs ensure compatibility with nearly any television.

The system's 25-watts-per-channel receiver and 75-watt subwoofer, deliver a total of 200 watts of home theater power, and the five satellites are acoustically designed to match the receiver's tonal characteristics. The front left, right, and center speakers are magnetically shielded to prevent interference with your TV's image. The sixth speaker is a 75-watt subwoofer with a side-firing woofer. The tuner offers 40 FM/AM presets. The receiver features two analog-audio inputs and one analog-audio output, along with two digital-audio inputs (one each coaxial and optical). Three video inputs and three video outputs accommodate your monitor and 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 full-function remote control, batteries, operational manual, AM and FM antennas, a quick-installation card, six loudspeakers, speaker cable (left/right: two nine-foot lengths; center: nine feet; surround: two 33-foot lengths), a subwoofer interconnect, a digital-audio interconnect, and a composite-video cable.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Great system.......2004-11-30

I've had this system for a while and feel it was a great buy for the price. I've enjoyed the many options that the system provides, and am very pleased overall.

1 out of 5 stars No Sound.......2004-05-15

I have no sound out of this after 14 months. I looks like this sound problem occurs with a lot of people.

4 out of 5 stars Good system overall.......2004-05-14

I bought this system a month ago. I would have to say that it's simplicity is amazing, it's sleek and the speaker size is just right. Though, there's a downside:High frequencies are barely heard. I installed 5 surface mount tweeters beside each cube, and the sound improvement was very noticeable. I strongly recommend to anyone that owns this model to do the same, these tweeters are not expensive, and the upgrade is worth the effort.
All the system's other features are very user friendly. Also it has a zoom power (x1.5) that allows you to see widescreen bigger, as though you are watching full screen.
For the frequency response is that I give the system a strong 4 stars.

4 out of 5 stars pretty good system.......2003-06-01

I have been looking and researching and after about 2 months, I just bought it. Are there better systems in this price range, of course there are, but I do not want to dedicate my life to it, so finally bouhgt this one. This has it all, and is a good system to buy.

I just installed the system in my home and I am going to give it a conservative 4 star even though I have found no short coming on this system yet.

Striking features:
1. Design and style - cant beat the looks.
2. Plays everything except DVD-RW.
3. Sound is quite nice.
4. Can take multiple inputs, and I have hooked the VCR and
dish network to its input.
5. Progressive scan at this price range, wow.
6. Outputs both the composite and S video out.
7. Powerful sub woofer.
8. Frequency response volume control, never seen that one
before.
9. Costs 2/3 rd of what I paid for my aiwa CD system 7 years
back.
10. 5.1 system.

Short comings:
1. VCD only has sound on the center and the sub woofer.
2. I think it can not handle PAL DVDs.
3. Holds only 1 disc, so keep changing the disc all the time.

Other features:
1. Speakers look like just about any other speakers in this
range.
2. Remote is to the point.
3. Generous wiring.
4. Needs RF modulator for older TVs.
5. Sub woofer stays on all the time ... wasting the
power, but that is true for all systems I think.

There is not much reviews on this system and also it is not a best seller either. I just checked and saw that some of the refurbished models are selling for more than twice what I paid for a new system, so I think I did alright.

5 out of 5 stars Great Home Theater System - this system has it ALL!!.......2003-02-19
