RD-8500/RD-7500
DTS-ES, Dolby Digital EX, 6.1 A/V Receiver
With most audio brands, you'd expect to pay a lot
of money for a "flagship", top-of-the-line receiver. In fact, it's
possible to spend upwards of $5,000 to get the best receiver some
brands have to offer.
We're not playing that game at Sherwood. For less than one-tenth
that amount we offer our Sherwood RD-8500. It decodes all of Hollywood's
latest movie formats including DTS-ES (both Discrete and Matrix)
and Dolby Digital EX. It has Dolby Pro Logic II to turn broadcast
TV, VHS tapes and even 2-channel CD's into 5 channel
magic. In fact, our implementation of Dolby Pro Logic II in the RD-8500
even allows the user to adjust all of the DPL II parameters such
as Panorama, Dimension and Width.
With six 100 watt per channel, high current, discrete amplifiers
on board, sound quality for the 8500 is superb. So is ease of use.
The 8500 has switching for 3 audio/video source units with 3 for
audio only. It even has switching for 2 High Definition signals.
Complete operation is possible using the built-in On-Screen Display,
from the front panel or via the 8-unit preprogrammed remote control.
Additional conveniences include the capability for 3 Macro remote
command sequences, onetouch operation of Sherwood DigiLink III components,
display dimmer, sleep timer and more.
(The RD-7500 has similar capabilities but does not offer component
video switching and has a dedicated remote.)
