Surround Sound Smorgasbord - This receiver not only provides you all the surround sound excitement of Dolby Digital and DTS, it takes it a big step further with the latest advances in home theater sound; Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES. Dolby Digital EX is an extended version of the Dolby Digital Multichannel Audio System that adds a matrixed surround back channel. Through a sophisticated encoding and decoding process, surround (back speakers) is reproduced by three different signals instead of the two surround channels of traditional Dolby Digital. This produces higher definition and a smoother sense of motion. DTS-ES is upward compatible with the conventional DTS format and significantly improves 360-degree localization and spatial expression creating even more realistic surround effects than before. Depending on your system and personal preference, you can choose DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 for playback of DTS soundtracks. You can even enjoy 6.1 channel surround sound from conventional stereo sources thanks to DTS Neo:6 surround. Dolby Pro Logic II processing also provides options for enjoying surround sound from stereo sources with both movie and music modes. Powerful Connections - The RXD302B gives you some interesting connection options. It offers high quality component video inputs and outputs along with S-Video and composite hook-ups. But the most interesting connection on the RXD302B has to be the USB input. It allows you to receive audio signals from your PC, so you can listen to music you've downloaded from the internet (legally, of course) through your home sound system. You can even set up a wireless connection with your PC to make it even easier to enjoy your PC's music files. A CC Converter (2 modes, front channels) offers two modes for improving the sound quality of compressed audio and non-compressed sources, respectively. There are also 3 digital audio inputs (2 optical, 1 assignable coaxial) for high quality digital audio transfer. Awesome Audio Extended Further - One very exciting side to DVD is its audio. JVC's 192kHz/24-bit P.E.M. D.D. Converter (digital to digital converter) was developed to make this incredible component compatible with the high specs of DVD-Audio, a new global standard in high-end digital audio. DVD-Audio compatibility enables you to enjoy the highest quality stereo sound available, more realistic multichannel sound and versatile interactive options all of which push their respective envelopes to the limits of the latest digital technologies. In addition to built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders that provide outstanding multichannel surround sound, you also have the benefit of Dolby Pro Logic II processing that provides realistic surround sound from two channel sources including your stereo music. Digital Acoustics Processor - The JVC Digital Acoustics Processor (DAP) allows digital recreation of acoustic environments, like halls and pavilions, in your media room. JVC deve
