■Adjustable Cross-Over Switching

The AVR-686 supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 8 cross-over frequencies: 40/60/80/100/120/150/200/250Hz. This lets you more accurately match the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the main speaker system.

■Audio Delay Function (0 - 200 msec.)

Audio delay function corrects slight lags between sound and picture that can occur when a video signal is processed, such as in a Progressive Scan DVD player or out- board video processor.

■Component video circuits which maintain flat response up to 100MHz, ensuring sharp image quality

■Video Up/Down conversion function

(Composite <-> S-Video, Composite -> S-Video/Component)
