• 210W of 2.1 channel surround sound

The S-Master digital amplifier adopted for the HT-CT770 Bar speaker unit, delivers a maximum of  210W RMS of music power for a 2.1 channel surround sound environment. With each bar speaker delivering a maximum of 105W RMS music power, while the active wireless Subwoofer delivering a maximum of 120W RMS of powerful deep bass to your ears.
The S-Master digital amplifier is built on the principle of a simplified full digital signal path, which significantly reduces the distortion due to heat built up which would result if conventional multiple analogue amplifier stages were used. This results in more power and a clean digital audio signal.

• Bluetooth and NFC music streaming

The CT770 introduces the much needed convenience through Bluetooth and NFC for Bluetooth pairing. Music streaming from your Android and iOS Bluetooth enabled smartphone to the CT770 is only a touch away! If your iPhone or iPod has Bluetooth capability and is enabled for NFC, simply let your device touch the "N" mark on the Bar speaker to begin streaming and manage your playlists from your smartphone using the Songpal app freely available for iOS and Android devices.

• Advanced Auto Volume

This feature ensures that volume discrepancies between different TV programs and commercials are minimized. With AAV ON, you always have a pleasant TV listening experience.

• Multiple Media Connectivity options

The HT-CT770 provides a wide array of connectivity options which include a single digital optical connection, three (3) HDMI connections and an analog audio connection. With these jacks you are at liberty to connect your PlayStation 4, Blu-ray, iPod, DVD media players, etc. Additionally, the HDMI TV OUT jack is enabled with ARC (Audio Return Channel). This means that if you connect a High Speed HDMI cable from your compatible TV to this jack, you are able to listen to digital sound from your TV through the CT370. However, this is only possible if the “CTRL (Control for HDMI)” is set to “ON.”

• S-Force PRO Front Surround technology 

Without the S-Force PRO Front Surround technology, the CT770, wouldn't be able to produce a surround effect from a two channel Amp (Front R + Front L). This intuitive feature creates a sense of natural and realistic surround sound from only two channels without the necessity of bulky and multiple speakers as is the case with bigger home cinema systems. The S-Force PRO Front Surround uses advanced sound signal processing techniques that mimic the way your brain perceives sound by correlating sound sources to create proper volume, time lag, and sound wave spectrum – using only left and right speaker channels.

ClearAudio+ for high quality, crystal clear sound

The CT770 has ClearAudio+ feature, which dynamically and automatically adjusts sound settings for a consistently superb listening experience. ClearAudio+ features a set of digital signal processing algorithms that optimize audio formats to deliver a consistently clear, high-quality sound irrespective of the source.
