setup menu. Setup using eye-pleasing 3D graphics
is possible using the speaker setup or acoustic
equalizer setup menu.
This unit features a fully discrete 7 channel amplifi er
section capable of delivering 100 watts of high-
current amplification, for continuously clean and
stable power into each of the 7 channels. It employs
a massive EI power transformer in combination with
oversized fi lter capacitors. This design confi guration
is capable of a clear and powerful reproduction of
the most demanding action movie soundtracks and
full range (multichannel) music discs. Through its
ability to generate very high output voltages, the unit
can easily drive the most demanding speakers with
optimum results.
This unit incorporates the most advanced Digital
Signal Processing circuitry, along with a 192 kHz/24 bit
D/A converter in each of the 7 channels. Independent
power supply circuits are incorporated for the FL
display, audio and video sections for maximum
separation, clarity and dynamic range. Together with
hand-selected customized components, all elements
work in harmony to recreate the emotion, exactly as
the artist had intended.
