The four HDMI inputs carry HD and 3D streams, not to mention the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function that allows you to easily retrieve sound from your flat screen without adding cables. Its quality audio processing relies on a 192 kHz/24 bit A/D converter and uses our renowned MCACC acoustic calibration system.
