It also adds these Audyssey technologies: MultEQ room correction, Dynamic Volume to volume-level when source switching or commercials interrupt TV programs, and Dynamic EQ to maintain perception of bass and treble frequencies and surround channels when consumers turn down the volume. It also features built-in DVD-Audio/SACD decoding, six HDMI inputs that support 7.1-channel HD audio and 1080p60 video, and dual front-panel VFDs, which display a spectrum analyzer and analog-style VU meter.
