The most economical ‘one-component’ route to home theater by including both A/V processor and amplification in one unit. Selects the source, decodes the multichannel cinema surround-sound format, controls volume, performs room equalization, manages bass signals when a subwoofer is used, and sends video content to display device. Can be controlled by typical custom home integration controls. Includes video processing, AM/FM tuner, secondary zone capabilities, and control of other devices through trigger and/or HDMI CEC.
