High-definition audio
Besides Dolby Pro Logic II, the receiver supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio so you can enjoy uncompressed, high-definition audio from Blu-ray discs as well.

No more need for a separate AM/FM tuner component. This receiver has a tuner with 30 pre-set stations built-in so you can easily listen to your favourite radio stations.

The latest, convenient HDMI technology
With HDMI, you can use this receiver to watch 3D video from a Blu-ray disc. Other convenient features include an Audio Return Channel for TVs with a DVD player or a built-in Tuner, for example, as well as Standby Pass-Through.

Connect your portable device
If you have a mobile device to play audio from, simply connect it to the receiver using the 3.5mm mini-jack on the front panel.

Level your sound experience
Often, you need to manually adjust the volume between different media sources because one is louder than another. Auto Level Control detects the difference, and adjusts the volume for you automatically.
