Manufacturer: Kenwood USA

Manufacturer description

This Kenwood digital AV receiver represents Kenwood's forward thinking, claiming the most advanced surround sound on the market today. With technology like the KAM-1 Audio Amplifier Circuitry, which generates more power with much less heat, Kenwood continues to garner a reputation for being an innovative audio specialty company. With the VR409, enjoy Dolby Digital Surround, one of the most advanced surround sound formats on the market today. Plus, get Dolby Pro Logic, the most popular surround sound system available, used on hundreds of broadcast TV shows and on virtually every movie on video release since the early 1980's. And, with 100 watts per channel in both surround and stereo modes, there's more than enough power to satisfy both the movie and music lover inside. Top it all off with features you'd expect on more expensive units, like Auto Select, which chooses the correct digital format for you based on the input signal, Kenwood delivers more than you expect. But that's not surprising for a company with over forty years of experience in high fidelity.
