Pre/Pro with Dolby ProLogic IIx get high praise

Crafted from the finest hand-selected components and designed by passionate audio engineers, its impressive decoding capabilities include virtually all of todays best technologies including: DTS-ES Discrete and Matrix; DTS 96/24, Dolby Digital EX and Pro Logic IIx; and Dolby Headphone to name only a few. With a built-in phono section, the ability to Re-Master CD sound to 192 kHz/24-bit, advanced Room-2 functionality; three wide-bandwidth component video inputs with all video sources being up-converted for simple switching Hi Def TV and two remote controls, the P-965 has the capability to satisfy today’s most ardent and advanced audiophile. And with the P-965’s “User Upgradability,” it’s probably one of the few pre-pro’s available today that will still be called “Advanced” in a decade. Together with the A-965 1050W or any multi-channel AMP, the P-965 is a formidable product at price rivaling separates that cost much more.
