Thank You
Thank you for purchasing the Sherbourn PT-7020A preamp processor. We know you have a choice of many fine products
and your selection of Sherbourn product is truly appreciated.
As with all of the Sherbourn family of products, the PT-7020A is designed, engineered and produced with the finest
quality components to ensure that you enjoy the latest technologies available and can count on many years of reliable
and exquisite audio and video performance.
The PT-7020A is designed to perform as the centerpiece of your upscale home theater. In addition, the PT-7020A can
function as a control component for a second zone of entertainment. The list of features and capabilities is remarkable.
Fully featured and HDMI 1.3a compliant, the PT-7020A represents a price-to-performance advancement in audio/video
processors. An extensive and truly useful feature set, intuitive controls, and audiophile grade sound coupled with
precision video processing and signal management make the PT-7020A a breakthrough product.
The PT-7020A uses twin Cirrus® 32 bit dual core DSP’s for unequaled high resolution HD audio decoding and signal
management. An ST-Genesis® Torino high performance-scaling engine incorporating image processing running
proprietary Vixen software in conjunction with full Faroujda DCDi® processing provides a stunning life-like image.
We recognize that no two homes or theaters are alike. Every installation presents a set of variables and challenges that
need to be considered. To fully enjoy the best theater experience the sound must be perfect. But how can we be sure the
sound is right for your room? We have designed a unique circuit for the PT-7020A that (with the supplied microphone)
analyzes the specific characteristics of your home theater and feeds them back to the on-board chip. It is compared with
a set of parameters that represent the best possible scenario for your set-up and adjusts the processor to direct the
appropriate signal to the various speakers to produce a near perfect movie experience.
Most importantly, we believe that our products should be easy to use. The intuitive menu and the simple OSD allow you
the best opportunity to personalize your system with a minimum of set-up time. However if you prefer to “micro-
customize” the PT-7020A, the possibilities are endless.
All of this technical wizardry is housed in a refined chassis that not only sounds spectacular but also compliments the
look of your existing components.
Please enjoy your PT-7020A....we hope we exceed your expectations with this and all of our other fine audio/video
products.
