Description: Kenwood's VR-9070 home theater receiver immerses you in wall-to-wall surround sound with the most advanced formats available. THX Select, Dolby Digital, DTS-ES, THX Cinema Mode, and THX Surround EX each provide state-of-the-art surround sound decoding for the utmost in multichannel listening. To take full advantage of these technologies, this receiver gives you 100 watts of power on each of the seven channels while Kenwood's exclusive K-STAT Discrete Audio Amplifier helps to ensure the highest possible signal purity. If your music or video collection doesn't happen to be quite as up-to-date as the VR-9070, Dolby Pro Logic IIx creates an incredible 7.1-channel experience from ordinary 2-channel sources like CDs, VHS tapes, FM-stereo radio, and even LPs. The job of orchestrating all this technology falls to the 32-bit ADI SHARC DSP (Digital Signal Processor), which delivers extraordinarily accurate performance at any signal level, from an earsplitting explosion to the most delicate musical passage. From LPs to CDs and VHS to DVD--whatever your entertainment choices--Kenwood maximizes your enjoyment. Kenwood's exclusive K-STAT Discrete Audio Amplifier delivers 100 full-bandwidth-rated watts to each of seven channels for a true wraparound soundfield with improved sound quality and uniformity at any volume level. A thermal compensation sensor incorporated into the amplifier's design allows for instant accomodation of temperature changes with no-warm-up starts. But even with all this power available, there may be times when you want to throttle it back. The VR-9070 has Midnight Theater Mode circuitry that makes a Dolby Digital soundtrack's loud passages softer, so you can listen to a movie without disturbing others. Responding to special encoding within the soundtrack itself, Midnight Theater Mode only functions during very loud passages, leaving the rest of the sound untouched. Those with whom you share your space will be grateful.Connecting all of your digital and analog components to the VR-9070 is easy thanks to a full compliment of A/V inputs and outputs including HDTV-compatible component video switching, four digital inputs, one digital output, and composite to S-Video up-conversion that can eliminate, or at least simplify, the need to switch inputs on your TV. Another set of A/V outputs lets you send your entertainment to another room. With the universal (multibrand), preprogrammed remote control and infrared (IR) sensor input and IR repeater outputs, you can control your entire home theater system, even if the receiver isn't in the remote's line of sight. Not only does this Kenwood receiver give you superlative performance, it also eliminates many of the setup and control headaches you have to suffer through with less sophisticated equipment. Let the VR-9070 simplify your life. Minimize
