  • Key Specs
    • Number of Channels: 5.1 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
    • Video Pass-through: 2160 (4K), 3D, HDR (Devices with this feature allow video signals to travel from their source to a target device without alteration. For example, a receiver with 4K pass-through would allow 4K video signal from a Blu-ray player to pass to a target TV with surround sound; without the pass-through ability, the receiver would not allow both 4K video and surround sound to be transmitted simultaneously.)
    • Works With: Amazon Alexa (Compatible with or able to be connected to other smart devices or applications.)

    • High Resolution Audio: false (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)
    • Surround Sound Supported: DTS 96/24, DTS Neo:6, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby TrueHD (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)
    • Maximum Sampling Rate Supported: 11.2 MHz (DSD) (Generally, the higher the sampling rate, the greater the quality of audio and/or video.)
    • Speaker A/B Switching: false (Allows a user to select between one of two sets of primary speakers.)
    • Supported File Formats: AAC, MP3, WAV, WMA
    • Equalizer: true (Allows for the control of different frequencies within an audio signal, such as adjusting treble and bass levels.)
  • Video
    • Video Pass-through: 2160 (4K), 3D, HDR (Devices with this feature allow video signals to travel from their source to a target device without alteration.

    • High Dynamic Range Format: Dolby Vision, HDR 10, Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) (There are a few HDR formats that tell the TV or other HDR-compatible product how to best utilize its capabilities to display HDR content. HDR technology can support one or multiple formats, each with various benefits to picture quality.)

    • Digital Content Protection: HDCP 2.2 (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is designed to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across connections. Newer versions of HDCP support more connection types, increase security, and resolve weaknesses of previous versions.)

  • Connectivity
    • Wireless Multi-Room Audio: true (Technology that allows multiple speakers and/or soundbars to be connected wirelessly and play audio in separate rooms.)
    • Wireless Multi-Room Technology: Apple AirPlay, Yamaha MusicCast (Proprietary technology that allows multiple speakers and/or soundbars to be connected wirelessly and play audio in separate rooms.)

Q: It says you can do two zones. I want to run my regular 5.1 speakers and have a zone B for speakers out by the pool. I will never power both at the same time. Where would I connect my 2 pool speakers since I don't see output lugs for the second zone.

A: You cannot have a 5.1 setup and do a zone B at the same time. Zone B uses the surround channel amp. So if you want a Zone B, your main Zone A will be Front, Center, and Sub setup (3.1) only. Same is true if you use the surround channel amp for bi-amping your front speakers. You need a 7.1 channel receiver in order to have a 5.1 setup in the main room and using the 'back surround' amp for your second zone.

Q: how does the bluetooth work?

A: You can link a Bluetooth device (like a phone or a tablet) running a music application (streaming or playing audio files on that device) to the A/V receiver and hear the audio come out the speakers or headphones connected to the A/V receiver.

Q: My TV has apps like Netflix and other streaming services. For sound to run through my audio system the amp must support Audio Return Channel. It’s generally HDMI 2 on most 4K TVs. Does this receiver support ARC? If not, which one does? Thank you.

A: yes it does support ARC. Make sure the "HDMI Control" in the setting menu is set to "on" nd then choose "HDMI" - "ARC Enable". It should be the default setting of ARC on. Hope this helps

Q: When HDMI cable is connected from cable box to receiver, will sound be received by receiver and amplified to speakers, or will a separate connection be required to transmit sound (ie: toslink or digital cable).

A: No you will not need an additional cable. The HDMI cable handles the sound as well. The Amp will play the cable box through the speakers.

Q: Will this unit play dvd movies?

A: It has a DVD pass through. So, you will have to have a DVD player and a TV to play DVD's.

Q: It has total power handling of 400W. I have 2 pioneer SP-FS52 speakers (input power 130W each) and one Yamaha NS-AC 40X center speaker (power handing 140W music/70W nominal) - used 400W already & I don't have room for rear speakers & sub woofer?

A: Short answer is: You can safely add rear speakers and your sub. Slightly longer answer: The spec sheet on your Pioneers shows a "Maximum Input Power" of 130W. This means that it can safely handle up to that much power. It is not the power required to drive it nor the amount of power it will always use. In the case of your center channel speaker, the specs on that indicate a power range of 10-140 watts. Again, this does not mean that it will use 140 watts. It is the top end that it can handle and not be damaged. My only caution (and a small one at that) is to not crank the volume to the max as the power output of the amp can over-drive your speakers and possibly damage them. However, you are unlikely to do so as the volume would be quite loud and distortion of the sound would be enough to make listening less than enjoyable. ;-) Your sub-woofer is not a factor, assuming it will be a powered sub-woofer. These units take a lower power sub-woofer output signal from your AV receiver and use their own power amplifier built in to drive the speaker. The power draw from the AV receiver is minimal. Hope this helps.

Q: How to connect DVD component cable(3 outlets for video) through the receiver(one inlet for video) to a LG 4k unta HD TV? Connecting dvd through this receiver to the TV will make the picture better than connecting DVD component cable directly to TV?

A: The best thing to do is have a DVD player that has HDMI since this receiver doesn't have the component connections on the back. For right now, I have my component cables going to my TV and the red\white audio cables going from the DVD player to the back of the receiver until I decide to purchase a new DVD player with HDMI.
