Logic 7 ProcessingOriginally developed for high-end processors, Logic 7 processing is packaged with the AVR-146. Proprietary digital algorithms are used to create a more cohesive and enveloping sound field from the tens of thousands of currently available analog matrix soundtracks. Logic 7 is capable of reproducing either five or seven channels of exquisite sound from your two-channel source.
5.1-Channel and Digital Audio DecodingThe AVR-146 uses specific Dolby Digital and DTS codecs to reproduce an enveloping 5.1-Channel surround sound experience. The unit encodes Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Virtual Speaker, Dolby Headphone, DTS, DTS 96/24, DTS Neo:6, and Logic 7 processing.
Multi-Format Playback CapabilityThe DVD-38 offers a full-range of playback capabilities for enjoying movies, music and images. It can playback DVD-Audio/Video, DVD-R/W, DVD+R/W, CD, CD-R/RW, VCD, and MP3/WMA/JPEG files.
High Current Capability (HCC)HCC is an overall design approach encompassing everything from transformer design and storage capacitor size to discrete output circuitry and minimal use of negative feedback. This enables the AVR-146 to combine tighter bass, superb transient response and enhanced presence at any volume level.
