DVD/SACD/Video CD/Audio CD player/receiver, two front surround speakers and a passive subwoofer.
The supplied remote controls the system, plus multiple brands of televisions and
cable boxes.
Features
S-Master Digital
Amplifier: This unit is powered by the S-Master Full Digital Amplifier. The
amplifier processes audio signals from HDTV broadcasts, DVD, SACD, or other
digital sources, and amplifies them entirely in the digital domain. This design
is highly efficient, producing minimal heat, while taking up 1/4
of the space of conventional amplifiers. The amplifier has the following power
output specifications:
S-FORCE Pro 2.1
Surround Technology: The DAV-X1V system produces a 3D surround sound field by
using advanced signal processing and sound wave phasing. This is accomplished
with only two speakers and a passive subwoofer. The system includes a setup disc to play through the speakers to test the surround effect.
The system also includes an auto calibration mic to help with setup.
Five Disc Changer
System: The DVD changer section of the integrated receiver/DVD changer
consists of a playing unit and a stocker, which transports the discs to the disc
slot and playing unit. When discs are not being played, they are stored in the
stocker.
Disc Capability:
The integrated DVD/Receiver can playback the following discs.
Super Audio CD:
The DAV-X1V is equipped with a DSD (Direct Stream Digital) decoder to enable
SACD playback. DSD encodes music at 2,822,400 samples per second, allowing you
to hear sound with incredible detail and clarity. Many Super Audio CDs have
multi-channel and 2-channel SACD playback layers as well as a conventional CD
playback layer. In the Stop mode, you can select which layer of the disc you
wish to play.

technology, the speaker system reproduces a convincing sense of distance and
space, resulting in a true surround experience without the need for rear
speakers.
Digital Direct Twin Drive Passive Subwoofer: The
magnetically shielded passive
subwoofer features dual 6" drivers in a bass reflex enclosure. One driver fires
toward the front while the other driver fires downward. In the menu, you can
independently adjust the level of the subwoofer between -6dB and +6dB in 1dB
increments.
Front "Surround" Speakers: The
front speakers each feature two 2" cone drivers and one 1" balanced
tweeter. The drivers are set at different angles to help create the surround
effect. On the back of the speakers you will find a proprietary 4-pin terminal
and a 5mm threaded insert. The speakers come with a detachable tabletop speaker
stand and can also be wall mounted with optional wall brackets (sold separately)
using the 5mm threaded insert. The front speakers are video
shielded, allowing you to place them close to a TV without creating picture
distortion.
