Equipment

• 7 x 120 W (4 Ohm) for the best sound quality in any room. 7 separate discrete channels for ultimate flexibility and an unsurpassed surround sound experience. The separate subwoofer channel provides the necessary bass sound.
• Linear 8-channel PCM decoding via HDMI™. Up to 8 channels of uncompressed digital audio deliver the best sound quality from next generation high definition discs.
• GUI All operations and setting changes can be controlled from the graphical user interface on your TV/projector. The operation is very intuitive and self-explanatory.
• DCAC: Digital Cinema Auto Calibration Simple and precise automatic setup of your home entertainment system via a microphone. DCAC makes aligning speakers in any room a breeze.
• Video upscaling to true high definition (1080p) quality. The latest FAROUDJA chipset upscales video resolution up to 1080p - that's true HD picture quality!
• HDMI® connection (3 inputs/1 output) for the transmission of digital audio and video files with only one cable (for all devices connected to the receiver via HDMI®)
• Peak HD (1080i) video output via HDMI®. True high definition quality (1080i) on your TV with HD discs (e.g. Blu-ray).
• Video conversion to HDMI™ (1080i). This allows all devices to be connected to the TV through the receiver, regardless of the type of cable connection. Only one HDMI™ cable from the receiver to the TV.
• Front USB input. Simply plug in your portable USB player and enjoy your stored sound files on your home stereo.
• Audio Player Enhancer When playing compressed files (such as MP3s) from audio players on stereo systems, the sound quality degrades. The portable audio enhancer amplifies the audio frequencies and ensures faithful sound.
• Dual amplification for optimized stereo sound. With dual amplification, the unused channels are used for additional stereo amplification.
• AV Sync for perfect matching of picture and sound. With flat screen TVs and projectors, there can be delays between picture and sound. AV Sync ensures simultaneous transmission and limitless movie enjoyment.
• Multiple connection for playback in 3 rooms. The multiple connection allows the receiver to send up to 3 different signals to 3 separate rooms.
