"The finest sound I have heard in my life, from any system. Ever. Anywhere." Peter Moncrieff - Widescreen Review
"The strongest bass I’ve ever heard from a receiver"
Mark Fleischmann - Home Theater
The AVR600's discrete styling hides a huge seven channel, 120wpc power amplifier and some of the most advanced audio and video processing ever seen in a high performance AV receiver.
Analogue Audio
- 120WPC continuous power output into 4 or 8 ohms loads (all 7 channels driven at 1kHz)
- Stereo output power over 150WPC into 4 or 8 ohms, 20Hz to 20kHz
- Huge toroidal power transformer and high efficiency class G amplifier ensures ample power for even the most demanding programme material
- In 5.1 speaker setups channels 6 & 7 assignable to bi-amplify front left and right or for use in Zone 2
- Audiophile quality components for best sound quality
- Multi-channel 7.1 analogue input for DVD-A or SACD sources
- Stereo direct mode bypasses and disables all digital processing for 2 channel analogue sources
- 9 stereo analogue inputs (including one MM phono input & front 3.5mm AUX input)
- Zone 2 stereo audio, from analogue inputs (Source and volume control independent from main zone)
- Zone 3 stereo audio, from analogue inputs
- Linked to Zone 2, volume control independent
- DAB/FM/AM or FM/AM stereo tuner with 50 presets
- Sirius Home Connect compatible input
- Support for iPod via Arcam rLead / rDock (independent of RS232 connection)
