Product Shot 1 The Pros:HD upconversion when connected via HDMI or component. Independent crossover for each channel. Includes microphone for use with Audyssey - automatically adjusts system crossovers and delays for perfect sound.

It has 7 channels each with 90 watts of power and uses high quality 24-bit/96kHz A/D (analog/digital) converters for superior sound quality and is compatible with Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and is one of the first receivers to include Dolby’s new Pro Logic IIz decoding, which provides front channel height effects, to dramatically increase the front soundstage for the ultimate surround sound experience.
