Powerful and Cool Running Class H Amplification
The Concert AVR-8 utilizes AudioControl’s legendary Class H amplifier
topology to powerfully drive even the most demanding speaker systems.
Known for pristine sonics, cool operating temperatures, and ultra reliability,
this highly efficient amplifier design literally “sips” current, which helps it
to satisfy even the “greenest” of customers. Despite it’s minimal current
draw, the Class H design is powerful enough to drive 120 watts per channel
(840 watts total), with all channels being driven into 8 ohms. The Concert
AVR-8 also has the additional ability of driving into lower impedance’s
when necessary.
Dolby™ Volume
A constant annoyance for home theater users has been the significant
differences in volume levels as you switch between channels or sources on
your televisions and in your home entertainment systems. Variances in vol-
ume levels in DVD and Blu-ray Disc™, digital music files, compact discs,
and broadcast entertainment programming each compound the problem,
forcing you to reach for the remote controls to adjust. Dolby Volume lets
you select a preferred listening level and enjoy all of your entertainment
sources at the same volume level. For complete information on Dolby Volume,

Multiple Surround Sound Formats
The Concert AVR-6 / AVR-8 supports the latest surround codecs of Dolby
True HD and DTS-HD Master along with traditional formats of Dolby
Digital 5.0 and DTS High Resolution. A powerful 32 bit DSP processor en-
ables the Concert AVR-6 / AVR-8 to decode all current discrete surround
digital formats available for 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1. In addition your Concert
AVR-6 / AVR-8 has the capabilities to process two channel signals using
Dolby Pro Logic II, Pro Logic IIx and DTS Neo to provide multi-channel
output.
Audio Return Channel
Connect either of the 2 HDMI outputs to an HDMI 1.4 display device
ARC (Audio Return Channel) enabled input to receive the audio signals
from the sources connected directly to the display. The ARC source selec-
tion on your Concert AVR-6 / AVR-8 is labeled Display.
Multi-Zone Operations For 2nd Zone
Since we know your audio and experiences may extend beyond one room,
the Concert AVR-6 / AVR-8 is equipped with outputs for a secondary
zone. This means you could be enjoying your home theater in one room
and another member of the family could be listening to their favorite CD
