The AVR-1603 A/V receiver with Dolby Pro Logic II and powerful output of 110 watts per channel lets you enjoy multi-channel home theater entertainment in a new dimension. In addition to Dolby Digital and DTS, you can now also enjoy existing Dolby Surround programs and conventional stereo sources such as CD in convincing 5.1-channel likeness. And if you have only two speakers, one for each stereo channel, you can use the AVR-1603's Virtual Surround mode to give yourself the sensation of being completely surrounded by sound as you would in a real theater.
