Features

High quality sound

0With discrete circuit technology, the power amplifier provides identical quality for all 7-channels (135 Watts x 7-channels)

For optimum realism and stunning dynamic range, the power amplifier section features discrete power devices (not integrated circuitry).

By using high current, high power discrete power devices, the amplifier is able to easily drive high quality speakers.

0Dolby Atmos (v p. 259)

This unit is equipped with a decoder that supports Dolby Atmos audio format. The placement or movement of sound is accurately reproduced by the addition of overhead speakers, enabling you to experience an incredibly natural and realistic surround sound field.

0 DTS:X (v p. 261)

This unit is equipped with the DTS:X decoder technology. DTS:X brings the home theater experience to new heights with its immersive object based audio technology which removes the bounds of channels. The flexibility of objects allows for sound to be scaled large or small and moved around the room with greater accuracy than ever before leading to a richer immersive audio experience.

0 DTS Virtual:X (v p. 261)

DTS Virtual:X technology features DTS’s proprietary virtual height and virtual surround processing to deliver an immersive sound experience from any type of input source (stereo to 7.1.4 channel) and speaker configuration.

0Audyssey LFC™ (Low Frequency Containment) (v p. 153)

Audyssey LFC™ solves the problem of low frequency sounds disturbing people in neighboring rooms or apartments. Audyssey LFC™ dynamically monitors the audio content and removes the low frequencies that pass through walls, floors and ceilings. It then applies psychoacoustic processing to restore the perception of low bass for listeners in the room. The result is great sound that no longer disturbs the neighbors.

0Discrete subwoofers and Audyssey Sub EQ HT™ (v p. 174)

The unit has two subwoofer output capability and can adjust the level and delay for each subwoofer individually.

Audyssey Sub EQ HT™ makes the integration seamless by first compensating for any level and delay differences between the two

subwoofers and then applying Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 to both subwoofers together for improved deep bass response and detail.
