Amazon.com Product Description
A DVD player is only the beginning of a sensational home theater. With the Apex HT-150--which combines a DVD/CD/MP3-CD player with a five-speaker surround-sound system and a passive subwoofer--music and movies take on added power and depth. The five satellite speakers and subwoofer are designed to reproduce discrete multi-channel surround mixes from Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS surround formats, and the system also handles the Windows Media Audio format. If you burn pictures from a digital camera to CD-Rs and CD-RWs, you can even use the DVD player for watching slideshows right on a television.

Whether your living room is currently home to an HDTV or you're merely thinking of "someday," the HT-150's DVD player stands 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. In any case, standard composite- and S-video outputs bring compatibility with nearly any television.

The system packs 150 watts total power, the better to deliver the full heft of dinosaur feet and intergalactic engine rumble. Apex's active full screen function (AFF) helps resize widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) video images to fill 4:3 aspect-ratio sets.
