The HT-DDW900 offers everything you need to bring out the full audio experience of your DVDs, digital cable, and other entertainment sources. The advanced A/V receiver pumps 900 watts of power (140 watts x 5, plus 200-watt sub) into its 5.1-channel configuration, while the five satellite speakers and 8-inch active subwoofer deliver authentic, immersive surround sound. And as you would expect from a modern surround product, the receiver is equipped with an array of analog and digital audio inputs and stands ready to decode Dolby Digital, DTS, and Pro Logic II formats.
Perhaps the receiver's most impressive feature, however, is its High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) which delivers uncompressed digital audio and video directly to a digital TV. The input represents the current state-of-the-art in high-definition video because the information is never converted into an analog format, and thus never has the opportunity to degrade. Another benefit of HDMI is that it puts all the information into one cable and one easy-to-use connector. The HT-DDW900 also provides a handy HDMI-switching feature, with two HDMI inputs and one HDMI output.

Properly setting up a surround sound system can be a bit of a drag, as it requires you to fidget with the location for each of the system's speakers in order to create a proper sound field. Fortunately, the HT-DDW900's auto calibration function simplifies the entire ordeal.
