The LX8320SA features a pumped up centre speaker and sub for clearer dialog and bigger bass, as well as multi-channel SACD capabilities.capabilities.
Upside
Another plus is its multi-channel Super Audio CD technology, which pushes vivid audio through 6-channels to replicate a live multi-instrumental performance.
The LX8320SA features PAL progressive scan and plays most disc formats including DivX 3.11/4.x/5.x encoded videos. It reads this new format based on the MPEG-4 technology, which enables users to save large files such as short movies or music clips onto CD-R/RW discs, DVD-video or memory cards. The LX8320SA also includes an integrated FM/AM tuner.
Downside
Also if you want recording capability, you'll have to look elsewhere - the Philips LX900R is its home theatre package with DVD recording functionality. For recording capability, the package trades off with 450W of power, no SACD and a $1999 price tag.
