New DACs allow for even digital audio sources to be routed to all zones and parallel HDMI outputs mean that if you want to run both a flat panel and front projector in the same room, you can. Remote access over the Internet allows custom installer to dial up a client’s receiver and perform configuration updates or even firmware updates (if needed) without stepping foot in the home. This receiver is fully 12-bit (per channel) compatible with new Deep Color technology and provides HDMI repeater functions (not just switching) with full upconversion to 480p/720p/1080i/1080p.

The primary advances of the new -08 CI series is the addition of HDMI 1.3a and support for 1080p/24 as well as 1080p/60. DVD-Audio and SACD are supported as is 12-bit Deep Color. Both Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio support is provided natively through the receiver (no more PCM conversion required from the HD-DVD player). 7.1 channels of PCM 24-bit/192kHz audio is supported as well for any legacy device requirements.
