Kenwood VR-6050 Audio-Video Surround Receiver

Kenwood's VR-6050 delivers high-impact 5.1-channel home theater performance thanks to Dolby® Digital and DTS® decoding, advanced 32-bit processing, and 100 full-bandwidth-rated watts x 5 channels of clean Kenwood power. This future-ready receiver even boasts decoding for 6.1-channel Dolby Digital EX DVDs, plus a back surround preamp output. When you're ready to add a back surround speaker to your system to take advantage of Dolby Digital EX's greater realism and three-dimensionality, just hook up a powered speaker or an amp and speaker to the preamp output, and you're set!

For even more multichannel fun, the VR-6050 also includes Dolby Pro Logic™ II decoding and Kenwood's Circle Surround II, which let you transform Dolby Surround and stereo sources into realistic 5.1-channel and 6.1-channel sound, respectively.

The back panel sports an impressive array of inputs for your current (and future) A/V components, including 3 digital inputs, 5 A/V inputs (3 with S-video), and a 5.1-channel analog input for a DVD-Audio or SACD player. The multibrand remote features a joystick that gives you especially easy control of all your A/V components.
