Life-Like Sound Whatever the Setup with DTS:X
DTS:X decoding delivers multi-dimensional surround sound that adapts to your speaker configuration in real time. Sound is positioned precisely around and above you, thanks to object-based audio decoding.
7.2ch Cinematic Sound
Get the real big screen experience with a fully-fledged 7.2 channel surround speaker system.
Virtual Surround with S-Force PRO
Ideal for smaller rooms, S-Force PRO front surround delivers a virtual surround sound experience using only two speakers.
Guarantee the Best Sound in Every Room
Since every room is different, Advanced Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (Advanced D.C.A.C.) analyzes the room’s acoustics, calibrates, and then optimizes the sound, ensuring the best sound in every room, and with Automatic Phase Matching (APM) your surround sound experience will be even better. Even if you are working with a different combination of speakers, APM works by automatically aligning the phase characteristics of each speaker, so that all the channels work perfectly together
A Clearer Picture with High Dynamic Range
With High Dynamic Range (HDR) signal pass-through, you can enjoy the incredible jump in contrast and brightness it brings – and the additional shadow detail and highlights further enhance picture detail and brings color to life. The latest HDR standards such as HDR10, HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) and Dolby Vision are also supported.
Consistently Stunning 4K Quality

Powerful 3 DSPs
3 powerful digital signal processors support the latest sound formats like Dolby Atmos/DTS:X, ensuring the highest accuracy in signal decoding.
Power Amplifier for Minimal Distortion
The power amplifier uses a glass-epoxy circuit board for reduced vibration and distortion, giving clear, high power from each of the discrete amplifiers.
Constructed for Precision
A reinforced frame and rigid beam chassis reduces vibration induced distortion caused by speaker sound pressure to very low levels maintaining signal fidelity for an even better sound.
Large Capacity Power Transformer Built for Clarity
Care and attention to the highest quality audio starts with the power transformer, ensuring the right dose of current is always ready
Expertly Designed to Prevent Overheating
The heat sink’s specially designed fins maximize air intake, helping to dissipate heat keeping the amplifier circuitry cool and protecting it against unwanted sound pressure.
