Summary

In the world of electronics, this is whats known as "robust": a dual-core, 24-bit DSP processor and 32-bit post processor, RS-232 connectivity for system control and software updates, a two-line LCD remote control, Logic 7 processing and DTS 96/24, as well as the latest Dolby® Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS Neo:6 surround sound processing options. This model also has quadruple crossover with six crossover points per speaker location and, with A-BUS/Ready connectivity, it offers more multiroom options than any other receiver. The AVR 630 has seven channels of high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth performance, with front and rear inputs and outputs for any application. Its a lot of power, but you can handle it.
