stereo equipment and applies it to multi-channel audio-visual receivers. The result is that the product, in addition to
being expertly built, and gives you optimal sound reproduction of DVDs, other multi channel sources and stereo
sources as well. This receiver is designed capture to a true reproduction of the intentions of a filmmaker or music
producer at the time they were mastering the soundtrack in the studio. It incorporates 5 independent high quality, high
powered built in power amplifiers, with increased-performance direct energy MOS FET output circuits. This
construction provides improved linearity and accurate representation of each channel for true high fidelity reproduction

Construction to give the purest sound available. All these elements consolidated in one receiver afford the listener a
new surround sound experience in his or her home.
