Supports Next Generation High Resolution Formats

Future system upgrade capability is provided with the AVR-881's 6 Channel External Input feature. For next generation high resolution multi-channel audio formats such as DVD-Audio and SACD, the 6 Channel External Input is equipped with a wideband frequency response extending to 100 kHz. In addition, the digital inputs support high resolution 24 bit,

96 kHz stereo PCM soundtracks, available on selected audiophile DVD music releases.

"S" and Composite Video Switching

Four sets of composite video (coaxial jack) and four sets of "S"-video terminals are provided (TV, VCR-1, VCR-2 and DVD inputs), allowing a full complement of video sources to be switched and routed to the monitor TV.

Front A/B Speaker Terminals

Two sets of speaker terminals are provided for the main (left and right) speakers. This allows the use of a second pair of stereo speakers in another room in the home.

Versatile Input & Output Terminals

For maximum system flexibility, the AVR-881 is provided with an abundance of audio and video input and output terminals. Three assignable digital inputs, two optical and one coaxial, can be config- ured according to your system's component output capabilities. The AVR-881 provides seven sets of analog inputs, along with four sets of video inputs, for total system connection flexibility.

Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation

The AVR-881 includes the Personal Memory Plus function that auto- matically remembers the surround mode you last used for each pro- gram source, so that you do not need to select the mode again for that program.

Audiophile Quality Speaker Terminals

In addition to accepting bare wire or pin terminations, the front main speaker terminals (left, center, and right) can also accept banana-plug terminals for full compatibility with high grade speaker cables, along with easy connection capability.
