It`s a formidable progression when you think of 1080p high-definition video and broadcasts; studio-quality, lossless surround sound; spectacular gaming with stunning motion and graphics; and the emergence of portable satellite radio programming. Bundling all this potential, the TX-SR805 A/V surround receiver has been built to provide comprehensive control over all movies, music, broadcasts and gaming. But that barely begins to describe the TX-SR805`s potential. Augmented by its THX(TM) Ultra2(TM) certification, this receiver goes even further by bringing you sophisticated room-correction technology, multi-zone capabilities, powerful bi-amping and "dual push-pull" amplification. The TX-SR805 provides a reference point for a new generation of high-definition A/V receivers.
