Specifications:

With Dolby Volume technology that automatically adjusts volume levels when you switch between sources and channels, four HDMI inputs, Faroudja DCDi Cinema video processing, all the latest Dolby and DTS audio modes, our own Logic 7 processing, the EzSet/EQ system for precise room calibration, and both USB and iPod connectivity, the AVR 660 is an unusually versatile performer, and its full-color graphical interface makes it an exceptionally friendly one. The AVR 660 easily enables multizone audio setups. It automatically corrects annoying “lip sync” problems with both HDMI Lip Sync capability and manual A/V Sync Delay. Front-panel A/V inputs make video gaming more convenient (not to mention more exciting). And an eight-device learning and programmable remote puts all of the AVR 660’s capabilities at your fingertips.
