Three New Home Cinema Bars from Philips

At the same time as they revealed their new TVs, Philips also unveiled three new Home Cinema systems:

The HTS 8140 and 8150, in black and white respectively, include a docking station for an iPod, a subwoofer and a remote control, as well as a DVD player with a HDMI output that can handle upscaling to 1080p.

Thanks to the built-in DCDi Faroudja system, it can also read your DivX and MPEG files, and JPEG photos.

The styling and form factor are designed to be compatible with Philips' current line of 42'' flatscreen TVs, but the system will work with any compatible products.

Both bars are available for 999 euros [800 GBP / 1500 USD].



The HTS 6100 is a stripped-down version of the same product, and both the DivX/MPEG decoding and iPod docking station have been removed.

This makes room for a more compact system, which this time best complements 37'' TVs from Philips but which works with televisions from other manufacturers.
