FEATURES
What you can do with the unit
The unit is equipped with the various useful features.
Connecting various devices (p.32)
A number of HDMI jacks and various input/output jacks on
the unit allow you to connect video devices (such as BD/DVD
players), audio devices (such as CD players), game consoles,
camcorders, and other devices.
Playing back TV audio in surround
sound with a single HDMI cable
connection (Audio Return Channel:
ARC) (p.32)
When using an ARC-compatible TV, you only need one HDMI
cable to enable video output to the TV, audio input from the
TV, and the transmission of HDMI Control signals.
More advanced ENTERTAINMENT
sound programs (p.62)
By processing front left and front right sound fields
individually, the ENTERTAINMENT sound programs are
further improved in acoustic positioning and sound
transition. These programs allow you to enjoy clearer vocal
and instrumental sounds, distinct narrations, and more
dynamic sound effects.
Providing a realistic feel and
surround effect optimized for the
scene of the content
(SURROUND:AI) (p.61)
The AI incorporated in the DSP analyzes the scene of the
content and creates the optimal surround effect for it.
This AI instantaneously analyzes scenes by focusing on
sound elements such as “dialogue”, “background music”,
“ambient sounds” and “sound effects” as well as optimizes
the surround effect in real time.
This creates a compelling sense of realism with expressive
power beyond conventional sound field effects.
Various wireless connection
methods (p.51)
The unit supports the Wi-Fi feature that allows the unit to
connect to your wireless router (access point) without a
network cable connection.
Surround playback with 5 speakers
placed in front (p.64)
If you have surround speakers but there is no space to place
them in the rear of your room, you can place them in the
front and enjoy multichannel surround sound with the 5
speakers placed in the front (Virtual CINEMA FRONT).
Home Audio Network with
MusicCast (p.57)

link a MusicCast compatible device to another device in a
