Making the Most of Everything
When you're ready to watch your favorite film, the VRSN8100 puts you right in the middle of the action with Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES 96/24 surround sound, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx transforms your ordinary 2-channel stereo music sources like CDs, tapes and FM radio into 6.1-channel surround sound masterpieces. The ADI SHARC 32-bit DSP processor, high-resolution digital volume control and rigid chassis construction give the VRS7100 incredibly accurate performance at all signal levels, from the loudest explosion to the most delicate music passage. The PurePath digital power amplifier delivers 130 watts (maximum, 1kHz, 10-percent THD, 6 ohms) to each of six channels, so your games, movies and music will really rock the house. And the exclusive Kenwood Fineline design matches the design of today's popular flat-panel TVs and blends with other entertainment components.

Sound Processing & Boosting Bass
Audio Digital Signal Processing (DSP) modes recreate different sonic environments simulating the acoustics of distinct venues. You can enjoy a more lifelike listening experience by choosing between modes, which include arenas, theaters, and clubs. Bass management lets you set up your system so that deep bass is sent only to those speakers designed to handle it, reducing distortion and increasing dynamic range. Bass management is performed digitally, allowing greater precision and control. You can also increase bass by preset amounts using Bass Boost to give your music an even richer, fuller sound. Select from three active speaker equalization modes to match the response of your speakers to the type of program you're listening to (movies, music or TV) and enjoy maximum impact from all your entertainment.
