Amazon.com Product Description
The 7.1-channel Kenwood VR-8070 is loaded with high-end surround sound processing features including THX Cinema Mode, THX Surround EX, Dolby Digital, and DTS-ES (Discrete, Matrix, Neo:6) to take advantage of the latest in digital audio and video. For listening to ordinary 2-channel sources like CDs, VHS tapes and even FM radio, Dolby Pro Logic IIx creates realistic 7.1-channel surround sound. The VR-8070 sends 100 Watts into each of seven channels, while its K-STAT Discrete Audio Amplifier, a Kenwood exclusive, helps to ensure the highest possible signal purity for better sound without interference.

A 32-bit ADI SHARC DSP processor gives the VR-8070 incredibly accurate performance at all signal levels. DSP (digital signal processing) simulates different environments to make audio a more life-like listening experience. A full complement of AV inputs/outputs (including component and S-Video, four digital inputs, and a digital output) makes it easy to connect all of your digital and analog components. A second set of audio/video outputs allows you to use the receiver's features in two areas at the same time. Plus, the 8070 has video upconverting from composite to S-Video that simplifies connections and operation by eliminating the need for separate audio and video cables.

The VR-8070 has full digital bass management letting you set up your system so that deep bass gets sent only to the speakers made to handle it, reducing distortion and increasing dynamics.

The included universal pre-programmed remote controls the receiver, your TV, VCR, DVD player, cable or satellite tuner, and select audio components. The IR sensor input and IR repeater outputs let you use the included universal pre-programmed remote to control your entire system even if the receiver is placed in a cabinet, or other non line-of-sight location.
