It also features a beautiful assortment of formats: Dolby, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, THX Surround EX, THX Ultra2 Cinema and Music... Plus THX 4.0/5.1/6.1 post processing capability and other DSP modes.
The AVC-A11XV, in addition, introduces independent audio and video processing resources, 7 amplifiers, multiple channel outputs, all aiming, from a single at creating multi-source/multi-zone home entertainment system from a single element. It is SACD compatible, HDMI equipped and comes wit 7x140 Watts into each channel.
The baby is not cheap, you can buy it in the UK at GBP 2500. Beautiful little monster, though...
