With its rich array of input and output terminals, a Personal Memory Plus function that enhances ease of operation, and overall superior performance, the AVR-1600 gives you everything you need in a Dolby Digital A/V surround receiver at an affordable price. s Fully Discrete, Equal Response and Power of 60 W for Each Channel Front 60 W + 60 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD) Center 60 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD) Surround 60 W + 60 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD) The AVR-1600 uses a high-capacity power transformer in the power circuit to support not only stable reproduction of 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sound sources but also highquality pure audio recordings. The fully discrete configuration of the power amp section delivers equal power to the Front Left and Right, Center, and Surround Left and Right speakers to ensure that they all respond at identical levels. During surround sound reproduction, the AVR-1600 taps its powerful reserves of 60 W for each of the 5 channels to surround you with a refreshingly clean, realistic sound. s High-Performance Dolby Digital The AVR-1600 gives you high-performance Dolby Digital at a price you can afford. With a fully discrete configuration for each of the unit's five channels, the AVR-1600's Dolby Digital decoder recreates the sound space of a video program in real-life 3D perspective, with an exciting sense of motion that accompanies the images on the screen. s 6-Channel External Input, for Multi-Channel Sound The AVR-1600 provides an external terminal for a 6-channel to support 5.1-channel playback of dts, DVD-Audio, and other multi-channel sources. 5.1-channel audio sources recorded in the dts format can be enjoyed when a dts decoder is connected to the AVR-1600. You might just want to enjoy Dolby Digital programs at first, but the AVR-1600 offers you the ability to easily upgrade your system so that you can dive into the excitement of fully discrete 5.1-channel dts digital sources as well if you wish. s Input/Output Terminals for Every A/V System q Audio Inputs 1 Digital (Optical) Input..
