Sherwood RD-7500 600-Watt 6.1-Channel Audio/Video Receiver, Black
An ideal receiver for movie enthusiasts on a budget, the Sherwood RD-7500 supports all the major surround sound formats while spreading 100 watts of power into each of its six discrete channels. The receiver is outfitted with built-in Dolby Digital Surround EX, Pro Logic II, DTS, DTS-ES (Discrete and Matrix), and DTS Neo:6 decoders that handle almost all 5.1- and 6.1-channel DVD soundtracks. Pro Logic II adds an extra bonus by converting two-channel audio sources such as CDs and VHS tapes into full multichannel splendor to create a surround-like effect. Combine the surround decoders with the receiver’s three DSP modes, which are designed to simulate the acoustics of the most common live venues, and you’ll have access to dynamic, full-bodied sound whether watching the latest big-budget action spectacle or listening to a quiet trance CD.
The receiver also boasts a Cinema EQ function that adjusts the equalization levels depending on your tastes, a quartz PLL-tuned AM/FM tuner with 30 station presets, and a sleep timer for people who covet mid-day catnaps. Technically challenged users will especially appreciate the semi-graphical onscreen display that walks you through the setup process and the advanced multi-brand remote control.
The RD-7500 includes a nice array of inputs and outputs, including one optical and two coaxial digital audio inputs that connect to the digital outputs of DVD players, satellite receivers, and compatible game consoles–an essential element for enjoying the best-quality sound. It also comes with four traditional RCA audio inputs, three A/V inputs (two with S-video), an optical digital output, and a subwoofer preamp output, in addition to the 7-channel direct audio input. And at 17.38 by 4.88 by 14 inches (W x H x D), the receiver fits easily into most component cabinets. The RD-7500 is topped off by a two-year warranty against defects.
