Manufacturer description

"DB Series" receivers borrow elements of construction and design from Sony's high-end "ES" line; you enjoy near-ES sound quality while saving a few hundred bucks! Flip down the DB840's front-panel door to reveal a convenient set of A/V inputs plus numerous control buttons; flip the door up for elegant looks in your home theater. Its back panel treats you to a smorgasbord of ins and outs for versatility now and expandability down the road. The DB840 is also a DSP dream come true, with separate processors for Sony's exclusive Digital Cinema Sound (32-bit) and for Dolby Digital, DTS, and Pro Logic decoding (24-bit). You'll be blown away by DB's top-notch construction and amp quality. Beefy output transistors are mounted in-line on a cast aluminum heat sink for rock-steady multi channel sound. Oversized "guts, " an anti-resonant aluminum front panel, and 100 full-bandwidth-rated watts x 5 channels make for precise, powerful reproduction of Dolby Digital's explosive dynamic peaks! And whether you're feeding digital audio to its 96kHz/24-bit D/A converters, or bypassing all DSP via "analog direct" (great for high-resolution stereo sources like SACD!), you'll experience nothing short of amazing sound.
