Features
High quality sound

preamplifier so that signals from a Blu-ray Disc player and other

with high fidelity. The high-speed current feedback amplifier also
reproduces a natural sound space.
0Dolby Atmos (v p. 326)
This unit is equipped with a decoder that supports Dolby Atmos audio
format. The placement or movement of sound is accurately reproduced
by the addition of overhead speakers, enabling you to experience an
incredibly natural and realistic surround sound field.
0DTS:X (v p. 329)
This unit is equipped with the DTS:X decoder technology. DTS:X brings
the home theater experience to new heights with its immersive object
based audio technology which removes the bounds of channels. The
flexibility of objects allows for sound to be scaled large or small and
moved around the room with greater accuracy than ever before leading
to a richer immersive audio experience.
0DTS Virtual:X (v p. 329)
DTS Virtual:X technology features DTS’s proprietary virtual height and
virtual surround processing to deliver an immersive sound experience

configuration.
0IMAX Enhanced (v p. 329)

standards established by IMAX and DTS in order to create a consistent
and higher bar for sound performance. DTS has developed a special
method for reproducing an IMAX signature sound experience in the
consumer’s home. This method combines a unique conversion process
for IMAX theatrical audio mixes utilizing an enhanced DTS codec
technology. The IMAX theatrical audio format with point source
surround speakers closely matches the speaker configuration most
consumers have in their homes today. Coupled with DTS audio
technology, IMAX Enhanced audio products will ensure the best and
most accurate audio reproduction over 5.1 or more speaker channels.

0Audyssey LFC™ (Low Frequency Containment) (v p. 194)
Audyssey LFC™ solves the problem of low frequency sounds
disturbing people in neighboring rooms or apartments. Audyssey LFC™
dynamically monitors the audio content and removes the low
frequencies that pass through walls, floors and ceilings. It then applies
psychoacoustic processing to restore the perception of low bass for
listeners in the room. The result is great sound that no longer disturbs
the neighbors.
0Discrete subwoofers and Audyssey Sub EQ HT™ (v p. 218)
The unit has two subwoofer output capability and can adjust the level
and delay for each subwoofer individually.
Audyssey Sub EQ HT™ makes the integration seamless by first
compensating for any level and delay differences between the two
subwoofers and then applying Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 to both
subwoofers together for improved deep bass response and detail.
