Thus, If you have a Smart TV compatible with DTS Play-Fi technology, you can create different sound configurations very easily. The TV will be the central channel, and if we add two stereo speakers they will act as front channels to generate a 3.0 set.

Too you can add another two rear channels which would allow you to create a surround sound system. Lastly, you can alsos add up to two external subwoofers for deeper, clearer low-frequency responses. It should be remembered that Play-Fi adapts to the number of speakers you have installed so that its modular design allows you to add new equipment as you buy it, as long as they are compatible with this technology.

and hehe idea of ​​Philips is to make the most of this technology as it considers it to be the future. For now, the first models to receive support for DTS Play-Fi are the FB1 soundbar, FW1 wireless subwoofer, and FS1 bookshelf speakers. This set can operate in an interconnected or isolated way depending on your needs, since you can generate a multi-room system through your mobile.
