You like my VR-309 Entity? markw just has a bad taste in stereos.
I'm NOT happy with how KENWOOD DOES THEIR CUSTOMERS WE want Home Audio in the USA NOW!
And you get an added bonus!
Kenwood's new VR-510 Home Theater Receiver is perfect for smaller home theater rooms and as the central component to any home entertainment system. With highlighting primary features like Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby PL II decoding, the VR-510 incorporates innovations typically not found on mid-priced receivers, such as the full array of THX management features, an aluminum front panel and "Zone B" preouts (L/R) for multi-zone operations.The VR-510's amplifier section is based on Kenwood's exclusive KAM-1 power amplifier circuitry. Component video switching, S-Video switching, digital audio inputs and outputs, 6-channel analog inputs, and audio preouts for L/C/R/LS/RS/Sub are included. CS Circle surround 5.1 and five audio DSP modes give the unit added audio playback flexibility. The VR-510 includes Kenwood's exclusive Pointless RF/IR pre-programmed learning remote control, which can communicate with the receiver without requiring line-of-sight. The remote's LCD readout will display titles of up to 600 discs when the VR-510 is used with select Kenwood CD and DVD changers. No manufacturer comes close to offering the combination of performance and convenience features found in Kenwood receivers at
comparable prices!
PS This was part of the Kenwood TOTL Sovereign line up released in 2001 with Touch Screen Remote Controls!
