7.1 Surround Sound

The AMS features a surround sound processor and 7-channel amplifier designed for
use with digital and analog audio sources. Dolby
96/24 decoding provides excellent sound quality from DVD video and audio titles,
with a full set of decoding and processing modes available to enhance the vast range
of movies and music available.

High-End Audio Performance

With 7x100 Watts of amplification and a discrete subwoofer/LFE balanced line
output, the AMS can drive any 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 theater speaker system with powered
subwoofer. A Class G amplifier topology produces the sound of a Class AB design
with near-digital efficiency. A six-band parametric EQ is provided on each output
channel including the subwoofer/LFE output with time-delay (up to 100 ms per
channel) for proper lip-sync and speaker placement compensation.

Audyssey MultEQ
Audyssey MultEQ XT facilitates an optimum listening experience for every seat in
your theater using an equalization solution that corrects for both time and frequency
response problems. MultEQ XT accurately measures sound response throughout the
listening area, and combines that information to accurately represent the acoustical
problems in the room. Based on these measurements, MultEQ XT calculates an
equalization solution that effectively minimizes response distortion at every listening
position.

AV Inputs and Outputs

The AMS supplies a total of 10 S/PDIF digital audio inputs, three HDMI inputs, 10
analog stereo inputs, and one analog 7.1 surround input. In addition to its speaker
and subwoofer outputs, the AMS has unbalanced line-level audio outputs containing
the 7.1 surround signal as well as a stereo downmix signal. High-definition video
switching is also provided for eight HDTV/component, four S-video, four composite,
and three HDMI sources.
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI™) Technology
The AMS's HDMI inputs and output provide quick connectivity for high-end
components, providing a single-cable digital interface that combines uncompressed
high-definition video, multi-channel audio, and intelligent format and command
data. HDMI switching supports the routing of DVD and DTV sources to a single
HDTV display up to 1080p, and can decode digital audio signals from DVD-Audio,
SACD, Dolby Digital and DTS sources.

Multi-Room Audio

In addition to surround sound in the home theater, the AMS also distributes stereo
audio to several pairs of remote room speakers. Listeners in each room can enjoy
their own choice of radio stations, CDs and MP3s, or even a stereo downmix of the
surround sound output. Each room includes its own volume, bass, and treble
