Amazon.com Product Description
A good centerpiece for your home theater system, Kenwood's VR-9050-S surround receiver supports many of the most popular surround formats while delivering 100 watts of power to each of its seven channels. Internally, the receiver is equipped with a 32-bit ADI SHARC digital signal processor, a K-STAT discrete audio amplifier, and a 24-bit/96 kHz audio digital-to-analog converter that combine to deliver remarkably accurate, explosive sound whether you're watching the latest Hollywood spectacle or listening to a CD. The audio experience is enhanced by the five DSP modes--arena, theater, jazz club, stadium, and disco--that simulate the acoustics of the most common live venues.

As with the best surround receivers, the VR-9050-S offers decoding for a variety of formats, including Dolby Digital EX, DTS, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24 (Discrete, Matrix, and Neo:6), and Dolby Pro Logic IIx. The first several formats play 5.1-, 6.1-, and 7.1-channel soundtracks from the latest DVDs, while Pro Logic IIx converts two-channel audio sources such as CDs, VHS tapes, and even LPs into full multichannel splendor to create a surround-like effect. The receiver also boasts an active equalizer function that adapts to the type of speakers you own (full range, satellite, etc.) and the type of program you're listening to (movies, music, or TV). The resulting audio can meet all types of expectations, whether you like your audio tight and crisp or full of booming echoes.

Additional functions include full digital bass management (sends the deep bass only to the speakers equipped to handle it); automatic signal detection and selection for both analog and digital sources (instinctively switches between CD player, DVD player, or satellite receiver depending on which unit is playing); individual bass and treble controls; S-video up-conversion (converts composite signals to S-video to improve picture quality and minimize signal loss); HD component pass-through; and a Midnight Theater mode, which softens loud passages of movies so that people in other rooms won't be disturbed. And, of course, the receiver includes a quartz PLL-synthesized AM/FM tuner with 40 station presets.

For the ultimate in flexibility, the VR-9050-S offers two component video inputs (for such items as DVD players and HD receivers), five S-video inputs, and five composite inputs. It also comes with five video outputs (one component, two S-video, and two composite), along with eight audio inputs (including a front-panel auxiliary and a six-channel input), two digital audio inputs (one coaxial and one optical), and three pre-outs (subwoofer, left back surround, and right back surround). The VR-9050-S, which measures 17.31 by 6.25 by 15.44 inches (W x H x D), comes with a comprehensive learning remote control and is covered by a two-year warranty on parts and labor.
