Good Quality Kenwood 500 Watt 5.1 AVR VR-410

Kenwood’s VR-410 offers the kind of cool, forward-thinking features that A/V fans love! SRS Circle Surround 5.1 gives you more ways than ever to enjoy 5.1-channel sound. If you’re a fan of older movies but wish you could experience them in spacious surround, or you just want bigger impact from your favorite recorded programs, your wish has come true. This unique feature produces 5.1-channel surround sound from almost any source — even from stereo-encoded broadcasts!

This Kenwood is loaded with goodies — the list goes on and on: 100 watts x 5 channels for powerful music and home theater; an anti-resonant aluminum front panel; built-in Dolby® Digital and DTS decoding to unlock the 5.1-channel discrete digital sound on thousands of DVD movie soundtracks; 3 audio DSP modes with user adjustments that let you customize the sound to your tastes; and a 5.1-channel input for compatibility with future multichannel formats. Preamp outputs for all channels let you upgrade your system with separate amps. There’s also an optical output for direct digital recording to CD-R or MiniDisc.
