PREOWNED - $1300 LIST! - FULLY TESTED - BLACK - INCLUDES ORIGINAL REMOTE, MANUAL, POWER CABLE As TVs become impossibly thin - and sound quality gets even leaner - theres never been a better time for a home theatre system that sounds sensational but is also simple to use. AUDIOPHILE SPECIFICATION Seven discrete amplifiers driven by a low-flux toroidal transformer are separated from the processing and input stages guaranteeing performance without compromise. And because typical set-ups now include a multitude of sources with digital audio connections, special attention has been given to the 551Rs digital to analogue conversion process thus giving it the ability to maximise the audio potential of every connected digital device such as Blu-ray players, satellite boxes, iPod docks, games consoles and more. PROCESSING TOUR DE FORCE And whilst musical performance is at the heart of the 551R, it also offers all the latest processing technologies to excite the most avid home cinema enthusiast including the most current Cirrus Logic DSPs and support for the latest CODECs such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio. Meanwhile, a Faroudja 1080p video scaler vastly improves performance from lower resolution TV broadcasts and DVDs as well as transcoding analogue video inputs to the digital domain for simpler and neater connection to the TV using just one HDMI cable. CONNECTIVITY In terms of connectivity, the 551R boasts four HMDI inputs and a single HDMI output which fully supports 3DTV/Deep colour pass-through and Audio Return from newer digital TVs. It also features a wide selection of analogue video connections (ready for transcoding), four digital audio connections and a total of six analogue audio inputs. Furthermore, the 551R includes a host of processing and adjustment features to get the most from every multi-channel movie soundtrack. These include full individual crossover adjustment and bass management, lip sync adjustment, Dolby Dynamic range control and DTS-HD speaker re-map (these features are explained in greater detail below). EASE OF SET-UP AVRs typically have a habit of causing much head scratching but the 551R has been designed to ensure simple set-up and ease of use for all the family. Cambridge Audios Microphone Controlled Auto Set-up (CAMCAS) tailors the 551Rs performance to any room and comes complete with a microphone to complete this simple procedure. Day to day operation is equally straightforward from either the clear front panel controls or the supplied remote. CLEVER COOLING = COMPACT DESIGN But perhaps the most surprising feature of the 551R is its diminutive size - made possible thanks to a unique cooling design system called X-Tract™. A perfectly balanced combination of forced cooling and natural convection effectively draws heat away from the substantial transformer and output stages and means the 551R can operate extremely quietly, at a low temperature and enables a more compact enclosure than would normally be possible for such a powerhouse.4 HDMI in, 1 out with support for 3D TV / Deep colour pass thru / Audio Return Channel receptionFaroudja FLI2310 video scaler for upscaling and analog to digital video transcoding/scaling (composite, S-video and component video to HDMI)Scaler bypass mode - allows user to engage/disengage video scaler for each input as appropriateOversize low flux toroidal transformer and discrete amplifiers delivering ultra-low noise and distortionCirrus Logic dual 32-bit DSPs for compatibility with the latest CODECs including Dolby Digital Plus, DTS- HD High Resolution and the Lossless Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio formatsPure Analogue Stereo Direct mode for audiophile playback of analogue stereo sourcesIndividual Crossovers and Advanced Bass ManagementCambridge Audio Mic Controlled Auto Set-up (CAMCAS) with microphone suppliedFull 5.1/7.1 multi-channel analogue inputs and preamp outputsAdjustable lipsync delay per sourceDTS Speaker re-mapping allows the playback of DTS-HD High Resolution or Master Audio formats with encoded height information on standard 5.1, 6.1 or 7.1 speaker setupsBi-amp mode for front left/right with surround back left/right in 5.1 set-upX-Tract™ Forced/Convection Heat Tunnel for virtually silent performanceFM/AM tuner with RDSRS232 control, IR Emitter InputLow resonance, acoustically damped full metal chassisNavigator style Azur remote controlAlso controllable from 651BD/751BD remoteSlim, aesthetic design - only 110mm (4.3) tall!Hi-Fi Heaven1549 Sixth StGreen Bay, WI 54304Contact us with your exact shipping address for accurate shipping cost.Larger speakers and items over 150lbs are strapped to a pallet and shipped via Freight including liftgate and residential delivery.We accept Pay-Pal or credit cards by contacting our store.We offer a 4% discount with payment by Zelle or check.Defective items are exchanged within 14 days from delivery.After 14 days, the manufacturers warranty will apply.
