Lifelike sound whatever the setup with DTS:X
DTS:X decoding delivers multi-dimensional surround sound that adapts to your speaker configuration in real time. Sound is positioned precisely around and above you, thanks to object-based audio decoding.

Space-optimised 7.1ch cinematic sound

All round virtual surround with S-Force PRO

Superior audio with Advanced D.C.A.C
If you’re working with different combinations of speakers, our seamless auto calibration technology will have them all delivering the same high-quality sound. Automatic Phase Matching aligns the phase characteristics of your speakers to the front left and right speaker channels, so that all channels work perfectly together delivering a more effective surround sound experience.

A clearer picture with High Dynamic Range
By supporting High Dynamic Range (HDR) signal pass-through, you can enjoy the incredible jump in contrast and brightness it brings – and the additional shadow detail and highlights further enhance picture detail and brings colour to life.

Constructed for precision
A reinforced frame and beam chassis design reduces external speaker sound pressure for more focused, powerful sound.

Large capacity power transformer built for clarity
Care and attention to the highest quality audio starts with the power transformer.

A metal framework protects the circuits
