Features

Fully Discrete, identical quality and power for all 7 channels (125 W x 7ch)

The unit is equipped with a power amplifier that plays back highfidelity sound in surround mode with equal quality and power for all channels, true to the original sound.

The power amplifier circuit adopts a discrete-circuit configuration that achieves high-quality surround sound play back.

Supports HDMI 1.4 with 3D, ARC, Deep Color, “x.v.Color” , Auto Lipsync and HDMI control function

This unit can output 3D video signals input from a Blu-ray Disc player to a TV that supports a 3D system. This unit also supports the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function, which plays back TV sound with this unit via an HDMI cable used for connecting the unit and a TVz.

zz The TV should support the ARC function.

4-HDMI inputs and 1-output

The unit is equipped with 4 HDMI input connectors for connecting devices with HDMI connectors, such as a Blu-ray Disc player, game machine, HD video camera, etc.

High Definition Audio Support

The unit is equipped with a decoder which supports high-quality digital audio format for Blu-ray Disc players such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, etc.

Dolby Pro Logicgz

The unit is provided with a Dolby Pro Logicgz decoder. When you play back the sound in Dolby Pro Logicgz playback with front height speakers connected to the unit, you can enjoy playback sound with rich spacial expression.

Easy to use, On Screen Display

Simple settings are enabled with the setting menus displayed on the TV screen. When you control the sound volume, the volume level is displayed on the screen, and when you switch the input source, the name of the input source is displayed.

Auto setup function

The unit is provided with an “Auto setup function” which automatically makes speaker settings best suited for the listening environment. The sound from the speakers is picked up with the supplied microphone. Reflecting sound and audio characteristics of speakers are measured, and settings for an optimum sound field are automatically made.

All Sources are Up-Scaled to 1080p

The unit is provided with an HDMI video upscaling function that converts an analog video signal input to the unit to a 1080p (HD resolution) signal and supplies it to a TV via the HDMI connector. This enables the unit and a TV connected with a single HDMI cable and any video source to be reproduced precisely with HD level of quality.

Direct Play for iPod® and iPhone® via USB

Music data from an iPod can be played back if you connect the USB cable supplied with the iPod via the USB port of this unit, and also an iPod can be controlled with the remote control unit for this unit.

When an iPod is connected, merely pressing iPod PLAY on the main unit or remote control unit starts playback of music from the iPod.

Cautions on handling

•Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are no problems with the connection cables.

•Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

•About Condensation

If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate properly.

If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature before using the unit.

•Cautions on using mobile phones

Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

•Moving the unit

Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before moving the unit.

•About Care

•Wipe the cabinet and control panel clean with a soft cloth.

•Follow the instructions when using a chemical cleaner.

•Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as insecticide may cause material changes and discoloration if brought into contact with the unit, and should, therefore, not be used.
