Enormous power reserves endow the system with substantial dynamic ability at high sound levels. 140 watts to each of the seven main channels, the power amp section features an advanced, premium high- storage power supply capacitors, and fully discrete output stages housed in cast aluminum heat sinks . • Current feedback 7 ch amplifier Current feedback topology combines total operational stability with excellent frequency response, while requiring only minimal amounts of negative feedback. It offers excellent transient response and superb sonic transparency. The SR9600 incorporates the most advanced Digital Signal Processing circuitry, along with a 192 kHz/24 bit D/A converter in each of the 7 channels. Independent power supply circuits are incorporated for the FL display, as well as audio and video sections for maximum separation, clarity and dynamic range. Together with hand-selected customized components, all elements work in harmony to recreate the emotion, exactly as the artist intended. The SR9600 is designed and engineered with extensive feedback from custom installation experts, dealers and consumers. It features multiroom/multisource, assignable DC triggers, a RS232C communication port, flasher input, IR receiver input, 4 emitter out heavy duty speaker binding posts and an extensive array of both analog and digital inputs/outputs. With 9 assignable digital inputs, 4 component video inputs, SACD multichannel (7.1 channel) direct inputs, video convert system and a speaker B and OSD output versatility is taken to a stunning new level. Furthermore, the SR9600 can output the OSD information through the Y/C (S-video) and composite video outputs.

Source selectors and volume controls are intuitively placed. The SR9600 is here to perform in your unrivaled home entertainment setup. • i.LINK Transmission Formats i.LINK is the generic name for the IEEE 1394 digital interface standard of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. It covers the transmission of data such as digital sound and the operation of connected devices. Two i.Link transmission formats are MPEG-2TS, which is used in digital broadcasting, and DV, which is used by DVD recorders and for digital video. This receiver supports the i.LINK (Audio)format. Only components that support i.LINK (Audio) can be connected to the SR9600. i.LINK (Audio) makes it possible to digitally transmit multichannel audio from DVD-Audio and Super Audio CDs. This receiver also supports flow rate control. Using a high-precision crystal oscillator, this receiver can convert digital signals into analog signals without them being affected by jitter. (i.LINK and the i.LINK logo Sony Corp.) are trademarks of Copyright Protection This receiver supports DTCP (Digital Transmission Content Protection). DTCP protects copyrights by authenticating and encoding data transmissions between digital components that use i.LINK. To play back DVD-Audio or Super Audio CDs using i.LINK, the connected device must support DTCP. Before connecting a component to this receiver, refer to its instruction manual. • HDMI HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an enhancement to the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standard. It adds capabilities for digitally transmitting audio signals in addition to video signals. Where multiple cables were previously needed for audio/ video, HDMI enables audio/video connection via a single cable. The HDMI jacks of this receiver support HDMI Ver. 1.1. The multichannel signals of DVD-Audio can be transmitted as digital signals without conversion. Copyright Protection This receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). HDCP is copyright protection technology that consists of data encoding and other device authentication. Its purpose is to protect digital video content. Both this receiver and the connected component (such as a video player or monitor) must support HDCP. Before connecting a component to this receiver, refer to its instruction manual. 4
