HDMI 1.4 Compatible, 3D Ready

A single HDMI cable is all you need for your audio and video signal. With HDMI 1.4, this amplifier is ready to deliver 3D content.

PQLS Technology

Adjusts the transmission rate between the DVD player and amplifier, eliminating distortion due to oscillation that occurs during the AD conversion performed by the amplifier.

Auto Level Control Function

Compensates for volume fluctuations between songs or sources, ensuring the volume of what you’re listening to remains constant.

Advanced Sound Retriever Function

Enhances compressed music formats such as MP3, WMA, or AAC and restores the CD-level sound quality of the music’s dynamics and harmonics.

Sound Retriever AIR Function

When streaming audio via Bluetooth, you may experience a loss of quality during transmission. Our Sound Retriever AIR technology restores the original audio quality.
