Strength:
AT 110 WATTS X7 CH. ITS A BIT OVERPOWERED AND REALLY KICKS WHEN YOU DARE. THE SURROUND MODES ARE MANY AND DO OPERATE ALL 7 SPEAKERS NICELY ON ADVANCED SURROUND AS IM USING COX DIGITAL CABLE BOX. THE REMOTE IS A NICE STANDERD DISPLAY TYPE. MUSIC IN SURROUND NEED NOT BE LOUD AT ALL TO FULLY ENJOY AS THE SOUNDFIELD ENCOMPASSES ONESELF AS IVE NEVER IMAGINED! STANDERED STEREO MUSIC NOW SOUNDS LIKE MONO TO ME,USING HEADPHONES WOULD BE A DOWNGRADE TO WHAT IM HEARING NOW!
Weakness:
HDMI CABLE CARRIES UP TO 1080P VIDEO BUT NO AUDIO,SO I USED THE OPTICAL CONNECTOR FROM MY CABLE BOX TO THE RECIEVER WHICH IS BETTER ANYWAY! AUDIO TO YOUR TV USE THE DIGITAL OR ANALOG COAX OUT ON THE RECIEVER!,IT HAS BOTH OF CORSE! A TRUE 7.1 SURROUND HOME A/V RECIEVER DEDICATED TO FORMIDABLE MOVIE SOUND REPRODUCTION . A CERTIFIED THX SELECT SURROUND TRADEMARK IS EARNED AS THIS AMP PASSED ALL THE TEST AS REQUIRED. THE SPEAKER SETUP IS IDIOT PROOF AS THE MIKE SETS THE SPEAKER DISTANCE AND DB LEVELS AND EQUALIZERS ALSO! THE SPKR LEVELS ARE SEPERATELY ADJUSTIBLE W/ REMOTE . THE SOUND RETRIEVER BUTTON ON THE REMOTE EASILY RESTORES THE FULLNESS LOST ON COMPRESSED MUSIC SUCH AS FM,I ASSUME XM WOULD BENIFIT AS WELL! IM GOING TO FIND OUT SOON! Customer Service NOT CONTACTED AT THIS TIME Similar Products Used: A 1996 JVC RECIEVER W/ DOLBY SURROUND REALLY ISNT SIMILAR BUT IT GAVE ME AN EXCUSE TO BUY A 100WATT JBL SUBWOOFER THATS GOT A ATITUDE! |
