Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
The 6.1-channel Kenwood VR-8050 is loaded with the high-end surround-sound processing features Dolby Digital EX for delivering up to six, independent soundtrack channels and DTS-ES (Discrete, Matrix, Neo:6) to take advantage of the latest in digital audio and video. For listening to ordinary 2-channel sources like CDs, VHS tapes and even FM radio, Dolby Pro Logic IIx creates realistic 7.1-channel surround sound. The VR-8050 sends 100 Watts into each of six channels, while its K-STAT Discrete Audio Amplifier, a Kenwood exclusive, helps to ensure the highest possible signal purity for better sound without interference. A 32-bit ADI SHARC DSP processor gives the VR-8050 incredibly accurate performance at all signal levels. DSP (digital signal processing) simulates different environments to make audio a more life-like listening experience. A full complement of AV inputs/outputs (including component and S-Video, four digital inputs, and five composite inputs) makes it easy to connect all of your digital and analog components. Plus, Active EQ tailors the receiver's response to bring the best sound out of whatever type of speakers you have (full-range, satellites, etc.) depending on what you're listening to--movies, music, or TV).
The VR-8050 has full digital bass management letting you set up your system so that deep bass gets sent only to the speakers made to handle it, reducing distortion and increasing dynamics.
The included universal pre-programmed remote controls the receiver, your TV, VCR, DVD player, cable or satellite tuner, and select audio components. And with direct input source selection you can go directly to the component you want to use without having to scroll through each individual input.

Great AVR unit. I have been using over two years now, no problems and fantastic theater sound in 6.1 mode. A little tedious to program, but worth the effort. My third Kenwood over the past 14 years.

AWEFUL TO LEARN, USE AND KEEP COOL,
By
This review is from: Kenwood VR-8050 Audio/Video Receiver (Electronics)
I had a Pioneer DVD 5-Disc home theater system and wanted a receiver to hook this and other A/V stuff(playstation, X-box, DVD, computer) to. I only used it with the DVD/CD player. It has all the right hook ups. The problem is this thing always overheats. After 30 minutes of use it goes into stand-by. The controls are hard to figure out to get sound to all 5 speakers and the Sub-woofer. It feels solid but can't keep itself cool there is no cooling fan in the system just wide vents that if you look through you see the big heat sink. The cabinet will still get warm to the touch and shuts down though.
