Kenwood VR-407 Dolby Digital DTS Surround 5.1 Receiver 500w Phono Input. ($60) Stylish, uncomplicated, or convenient probably aren’t the first words that come to mind when you think of most surround sound receivers. But this is Kenwood we're talking about. With technology like the KAM-1 Audio Amplifier Circuitry, which generates more power with much less heat, Kenwood continues to garner a reputation for being an innovative audio specialty company. With the VR407, enjoy Dolby Digital Surround, one of the most advanced surround sound formats on the market today. Plus, get Dolby Pro Logic, the most popular surround sound system available, used on hundreds of broadcast TV shows and on virtually every movie on video release since the early 1980's. And, with 100 watts per channel in both surround and stereo modes, there's more than enough power to satisfy both the movie and music lover inside. Top it all off with features you'd expect on more expensive units, like Auto Select, which chooses the correct digital format for you based on the input signal, Kenwood delivers more than you expect. But that's not surprising for a company with over forty years of experience in high fidelity. Dolby Digital (AC-3) Decoder allows you to experience the thrills of today's stunning Hollywood soundtracks right in your family room.
