Features Dolby Pro Logic II: Pro Logic II is a Dolby Laboratories technology that produces surround sound from any stereo source, including CDs, VHS tapes, TV shows, digital audio files like MP3 and AAC, cassette tapes, and FM radio broadcasts. Like Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II has stereo surround output, giving you a more realistic surround sound experience. Unlike Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II allows you to enjoy a "5.1-like" presentation using any analog stereo source. Pro Logic II includes a Movie mode, Music mode, and standard four-channel Pro Logic decoding mode.

KAM-1 offers superior sound quality and reliability. 96kHz/24-bit Audio D/A Conversion: This unit will accept and play 96kHz/24 bit linear PCM digital audio. 5.1-Channel Input: In addition to the built-in Dolby Digital and DTS processing, this unit also has a 5.1-channel input for use with external multi-channel decoders.

To avoid this, you can adjust the input level independently for each analog source. You can select 0dB, -3dB, or -6dB. Source Direct Listening Mode: This mode allows you to bypass all digital processing and tone controls, yielding the purest sound possible for analog sources. Digital Signal Format Auto Detection/Auto Switching: When a digital input is set to D-Auto, the input detects the format of the incoming digital data stream, automatically activating the proper surround decoding mode. You can also adjust the inputs manually. Display Dimmer: The display brightness may be set to one of three levels.
