This receiver offers fully discrete, identical quality and power for all five channels. It supports decoding for a multitude of audio formats including lossless Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio and even Dolby Pro Logic IIz. Additionally, it includes Audyssey's MultEQ and auto setup that will 'fingerprint' your listening space with an included microphone to ensure you're hearing optimal audio. It analyzes sound from up to six different listening positions in your space and adjusts volume level, equalization, and delay settings for each speaker. You can also connect your iPod, iPhone, or USB flash memory device directly via the USB port to expand your options, and the unit's Compressed Audio Restorer affords crisp, clear playback of your compressed digital files.
The AVR-1612P also offers several features that make it easy to operate, including a GUI that overlays your HD sources, rather than having to switch off what you're watching to make adjustments. One more convenience is Audyssey Dynamic Volume, which equalizes volume fluctuations in real-time so you won't have to reach for the remote every time there's a whisper-quiet dialogue scene or a loud explosion in the movie you're watching. All in all is receiver offers an excellent way to maximize your audio and video sources and enjoy thrilling surround sound for your home theater setup.
