Philips HTL3120 [2/15] Our heritage

Our heritage

Our new levels of acoustic realism and authenticity date

back to the launch of our  rst sound product, the Philips

“Chapel” radio in 1931. Over the years, our dedication to

sonic perfection has inspired innovations that have forever

changed how the world hears and experiences sound.

In addition to pioneering the  rst ever shortwave transmitter,

we invented the cassette tape and CD and also introduced

the world’s  rst Internet-connected micro Hi-Fi system.

Our ingenuity continues to this day with not only the world’s

 rst DVD/Blu-ray playback-integrated Soundbar, but also its

 rst Surround on Demand system.

Each of our home cinema products is characterized by

unparalleled sound quality. All thanks to talented acoustic

engineering teams and special “Golden Ears” sound

specialists who are trained to detect every audio nuance and

committed to creating an acoustic experience you will love.

Today, our home cinema range runs the gamut of speaker

arrangements. The Immersive Sound has a traditional 5.1

speaker setup for the sound purists. The 2.1 home cinema

with two speakers and a subwoofer will  ll your room with

a lifelike cinematic experience from fewer speakers. If space

is at a premium in your home, our sleek, unobtrusive, under-

the-TV Soundbars are your solution.

Chapel Radio, 1931.

This iconic radio set was nicknamed ‘The Little Chapel’.
