In Search Of…

No, this isn’t a Blu-Ray player with 5.1 surround sound…but it will sorta make your DVDs look kinda hi-def-ish, and it promises to deliver a simulated surround sound experience. And in the end, isn’t it the experience that matters, not a bunch of sil

“I was just sitting there minding my own business in the privacy of my own home, watching a movie – it was that Tropical Lightning one – when I heard it, clear as day, during a battle scene. Gunfire, coming from somewhere to my left. Pop! Pop! Pop-pop pop! I thought it was the movie, but then I realized there wasn’t no speaker over there. Soon as the movie ended, me and my husband both up and ran out of the house. We ain’t been back since. Ghosts maybe I can handle, but ghosts with guns? No thank you.”

That’s the voice of Andi Hughes of Cincinnati, Arizona. Her and her husband are but two of the growing number of Americans who claim to have experienced phantom surround sound, or PSS, a paranormal phenomenon in which two speakers appear to produce home theater surround-sound. This often occurs in tandem with an event known as a near-HD experience, or NHDE, when normal-definition DVDs appear to display in HD to the untrained eye.

The scientific establishment holds that such phenomena are impossible, blaming hallucinations, mass hysteria, and kitchen gas. But Frank Baconham of Granite Mountain, Florida tells another story.

“Our family watches Timecop every Christmas, so I’ve seen it at least a dozen times. But this year, after I hooked up my new Philips HTS6600 DVD Home Theatre System, everything was different. The colors were brighter. The action seemed sharper. The jokes even seemed funnier, and that’s saying something. It wasn’t just me who felt it, it was the whole family. The whole experience was heightened, I guess you’d say. We were just sort of lifted off of our couches to…somewhere else. It’s like we were looking down on these people who looked just like us, and they were watching Timecop like they were seeing it for the first time. I can’t explain it.”

Contacted for comment, Philips says there’s nothing supernatural about it. They claim that the Philips HTS6600 uses “psychoacoustic” engineering and precise driver positioning to replicate 5.1 surround sound. And the sharper picture, according to them, is merely a result of the player’s DVD upconverting capabilities.

But Hughes isn’t so sure.

“I thought maybe I was imagining things until we got to the credits. When I saw the name ‘Robert Downey Jr.’ come up, I knew there was something paranormal going on. Through the whole movie, he looked like he was black.”

Through the combined effect of psychoacoustic phenomena, array processing and precisely angled driver positioning, Ambisound delivers more sound from fewer speakers
