AVR-1600
Dolby Digital A/V Receiver
NEW MODEL INFORMATION
■Fully Discrete, Equal Response and Power of 60 W
for Each Channel
Front 60 W + 60 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 %THD)
Center 60 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 %THD)
Surround 60 W + 60 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 %THD)
The AVR-1600 uses a high-capacity power transformer
in the power circuit to support not only stable reproduction
of 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sound sources but also high-
quality pure audio recordings.The fully discrete configura-
tion of the power amp section delivers equal power to the
Front Left and Right, Center, and Surround Left and Right
speakers to ensure that they all respond at identical levels.
During surround sound reproduction, the AVR-1600 taps
its powerful reserves of 60 W for each of the 5 channels to
surround you with a refreshingly clean, realistic sound.
■High-Performance Dolby Digital
The AVR-1600 gives you high-performance Dolby Digital
at a price you can afford. With a fully discrete configuration
for each of the unit’s five channels, the AVR-1600’s Dolby
Digital decoder recreates the sound space of a video pro-
gram in real-life 3D perspective, with an exciting sense of
motion that accompanies the images on the screen.
Dolby Digital with Fully-discrete 300 watt Amplifiers
The AVR-1600 is equipped with a fully discrete configuration for each channel that supports not only Dolby Digital but
lets you use the unit as a high-quality pure audio amplifier as well.The AVR-1600 also provides an external input terminal
for a 6-channel to support the multi-channel format.With its rich array of input and output terminals, a Personal Memory
Plus function that enhances ease of operation, and overall superior performance, the AVR-1600 gives you everything you
need in a Dolby Digital A/V surround receiver at an affordable price.

■6-Channel External Input, for Multi-Channel Sound
The AVR-1600 provides an external terminal for a 6-chan-
nel to support 5.1-channel playback of dts, DVD-Audio, and
other multi-channel sources. 5.1-channel audio sources
recorded in the dts format can be enjoyed when a dts
decoder is connected to the AVR-1600.You might just want
to enjoy Dolby Digital programs at first, but the AVR-1600
offers you the ability to easily upgrade your system so that
you can dive into the excitement of fully discrete 5.1-channel
dts digital sources as well if you wish.
