TX-SV828THX

: 100 W/ch stereo, 8ohms. THX-Certified AV Receiver with Dolby Pro Logic, 24-Bit Motorola DSP, Multiroom/Multisource Capability and 7 Surround Modes

: Certification by Lucasfilm means this powerful beast has proven itself capable of reproducing cinema sound just as the director intended, with the requisite Re-Equalization, Decorrelation and Timbre Matching circuitry, as well as refined discrete power amp circuitry to minimize distortion and noise. Latest-generation Motorola 24-bit DSP not only gives you seven exciting surround modes (Dolby Pro Logic, Home THX Cinema, Dolby Pro Logic Theater, Hall, Live, Arena and Studio), it gives you superior processing capacity, compared to the 18- or 20-bit formats of other DSP processors. Convenience comes your way in the form of Intelligent Power Management, which automatically activates your entire AV system and selects Video-1 as the source input when you turn on your TV. For upgrading, there's an AC-3 ready DB-25 input for connection to the ED-901 AC-3 decoder.
