AV8003 - Multichannel Networking Pre-amplier
This THX UltraII-certied networking pre-amp/processor will maximise your source signals
with absolute clarity and transparency. Whatever the source – Blu-Ray, DVD, CD and even the
AV les from your PC and external storage streamed via the network. That’s because it is DL-
NA-certied. It decodes every format up to THX-EX, DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby True
HD and of course supports Deep Color and 24fps via four HDMI version 1.3a inputs and two
outputs. Legacy designs get the HD treatment too, via video processing technology VRS from
Anchor Bay with scaling up to 1080p. For total connectivity and exibility, the AV8003 features
eight balanced outputs for ultra-low noise connection to the power amp, and two balanced in-
puts to connect a high-end CD source. The power supply incorporates a Toroidal transformer
and the copper-plated chassis to minimise interference. For total control, the system comes
with a programmable, backlit LCD remote controller, as well as an additional handset
supporting multiroom capability.
