M8™
2 Channel Balanced Audio Inputs
Pristine audio fidelity is had in all modes of the Maestro M8. This is height-
ened by the unique balanced two channel inputs found on the back panel
for the BD and AV inputs. The inputs are paralleled inputs with the RCA’s
so no discrete input selection is required other than analog. So if you are
using a 2 channel source, such as the Oppo BDP-105, you have a perfectly
paired source and processor to harness a pure listening mode.
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 Maestro M8 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 enables the
Maestro M8 to decode all current discrete surround digital formats avail-
able for 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1. In addition your Maestro M8 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 (ARC)
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 Maestro M8 is labeled Display.
Multi-Zone Operations For 2nd Zone
Since we know your audio and experiences may extend beyond one room,
the Maestro M8 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 in another room. The
Second Zone is also equipped with a video output so you can expand your
video options even more.
