Dolby Atmos Feel every dimension in Dolby Atmos. Upgrade your home theater with a 5.1.2 speaker setup to unleash a fully immersive 3D audio experience from Dolby Atmos content.

DTS:X DTS:X immersive audio content places sound where it would naturally occur in space, creating life-like, multidimensional audio. DTS Neural:X upmixer offers improved immersion and heightened realism for legacy content. DTS Virtual:X provides immersive audio without height channels, creating virtual height effects in a 7.1, 5.1, or 2.1 speaker setup.

HDMI Connectivity with ARC/eARC Supports the latest technology on all HDMI inputs and the output. ARC (Audio Return Channel) or eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) makes playing TV audio through your AV receiver simple with just a single HDMI connection. eARC provides HD and 3D audio transmission such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD Master Audio, and Dolby Atmos while ARC is limited to conventional 5.1ch audio formats or PCM.

Bluetooth audio transmitter Pair your favorite Bluetooth headphones with your AV receiver to continue listening to your favorite music, movies, or TV programs at night. You can also play audio from both speakers and Bluetooth headphones simultaneously. If you have a family member or a friend who is hearing impaired, we recommend this setup. You can connect one pair of headphones at a time.

Multi-source, multi-room By connecting a pair of speakers in a second room to the AV receiver, it’s possible to enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound in the main room and a separate source or music stream in the second room, such as a den or patio. You can also play the same audio in both so that everyone in your home can enjoy and cheer your favorite team on Sunday evening or listen to the same song in both rooms. The AV receiver supports 2-source, 2-zone audio.
