Your RCA Audio/Video Receiver has the following benefits.

DTS* (Digital Theater Systems) Decoder Equipped

— DTS is a digital sound system

introduced in theaters. Playback of DVDs, LDs, and CDs recorded in DTS audio creates the

environment of a theater or the sensation of a concert hall in your home.

Dolby** Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II — No need to worry about program formats! When

playing Dolby Digital or Dolby Surround software in the Standard mode, decoding switches

automatically according to the input signal. You can also use Dolby Pro Logic II to create a

surround sound listening experience with stereo sources. All you have to do is sit back and

enjoy!

Advanced Surround Modes — Five sound modes that enhance DTS and Dolby Surround

performance by simulating the ambience of listening environments such as a movie theater

(MOVIE) or a concert hall (MUSIC). The EXPANDED mode lets you enjoy Dolby Surround

encoded software in simulated Dolby Digital. 5-CHANNEL STEREO gives multi-channel

sound from stereo sources, and the VIRTUAL REAR CENTER CHANNEL effect gives you an

incredible surround sound listening experience by adding a simulated back surround speaker

to your setup!

Midnight Listening Mode — Lets you enjoy quality surround sound effects, even at low

volumes.

DVD 5.1 Channel Input — A special 5.1 channel input makes the receiver fully compatible

with Dolby Digital decoders and DVD players with 5.1 channel outputs.

Energy-Saving Design — This receiver is designed to use minimal electricity when power is

switched OFF (in Standby mode).

Remote Control of Other Components — The supplied remote control can be used to operate

a variety of other components simply by recalling the appropriate preset code. In addition,

the multi-operation functions allow you to perform a variety of operations automatically.
