Unleash the Power
The SR8200 features a fully discrete 6 channel amplifier section capable of delivering 120 watts of high-current
amplification, for continuously clean and stable power into each of the six channels. It employs a massive EI power
transformer in combination with oversized filter capacitors. Current feedback topology allows total operation stability,
while requiring minimal amounts of negative feed-back, resulting in an excellent transient frequency response and superb
sonic transparency. This design configuration is capable of a clear and powerful reproduction of the most demanding action
movie soundtracks and full range (multi-channel) music discs. Through its ability to generate very high output voltages,
the SR8200 can easily drive the most demanding speakers with optimum results.

Experience the Emotion
The SR8200 incorporates the most advanced Digital Signal Processing circuitry, along with a Crystal®192 kHz/24
bit D/A converter in each of the six channels. When reproducing 2 channel stereo, these DACs are automatically
switchedindualdifferentialmode,toperformthehighestqualityD/Aconversion. IntheSR8200, all of thedigital,
analog and control circuits are separated and extensively shielded in their own enclosures to prevent crosstalk and
other unwanted interference. Independent power supplies are incorporated for the FL display, audio and video
sections for maximum separation, clarity and dynamic range.Together with hand-selected customized components,
all elements work in harmony to recreate the emotion, exactly as the artist had intended.
Installation Friendly
The SR8200 is designed and engineered
with extensive feedback from custom
installation experts, dealers and
consumers. It features multi-room/multi-
source, 2 assignable DC triggers, a
RS232C communication port, heavy duty
speaker binding posts and an extensive
array of both analog and digital inputs /
outputs. With 6 assignable digital inputs
(7 total), 2 component inputs, SACD
Multi Channel (7.1 channel) direct inputs
and a multi room speaker and OSD output versatility is taken to a stunning new level. Furthermore, the SR8200
can output the OSD information through the professional grade component video outputs as well as the Y/C
(S-video) and composite video outputs. This highly desirable feature is ideal for anyone utilizing a HD ready
display device.
Ease of Control
The SR8200 includes the RC3200 programmable touch screen learning remote control, with two-way
communication. Information regarding the status of the SR8200 such as source, station name, surround mode,
etc are all displayed on the back- lit touch screen panel. Other features of the remote control include: 1 MB of
memory, a computer connection (via RS232C) to
upload customized control codes, programmable
macros and a wide carrier frequency range
for compatibility with other
brands. All of these functions
enable friendly, extensive and
versatile control during setup
and operation.
