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. 273)

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.

0DTS:X (v p. 275)

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.

0DTS Virtual:X (v p. 276)

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.

zDTS Virtual:X is not for use when Height speakers are connected.

0Audyssey LFC™ (Low Frequency Containment) (v p. 163)

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. 185)

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.
