R-965

7.1 Channel A/V Receiver with features for custom installation

17 3/8"

5 7/16"

13"

Both the R-965 and R-865 receivers share a number of key technologies with the our top-of-the-line home theater separate, the P-965:

High quality parts: With items like the Cirrus Crystal CS-49400 DSP processor, Analog Devices AD-1852 DAC’s, AKM’s AK-5380 A to D converters and Analog Devices AD-1896 sample rate converter, performance nudges the state-of-the-art.

Decoding: Both decode virtually every technology on the market including Dolby’s brand new DPL IIx. A longer list includes DTSES Discete and Matrix, DTS 96/24, DTS-Neo 6, Dolby Digital Surround EX, Dolby Headphone Levels 1, 2, and 3 and more.

Field Upgradeable: In the fast moving audio world, it’s hard to keep up with all the new advances. Both the R-965 and R-865 have upgradeable operating systems. As new technologies emerge they can be added to keep these receivers continually up-to-date.

Universal Video--upconverts composite and S-Video inputs to component video output. Now you can intermix video components yet maintain only a single connection to your TV or monitor.

Wide bandwidth Component video switching : performed by relays so there is no bandwidth limitation imposed by our receivers.

Digital Remastering: CD’s are recorded at 16-bits and 44.1 kHz. ReMaster them to 24-bit and 192 kHz and improve their sound.

Advanced Room 2 operation: With independent program routing and control for a second room, both receivers can serve as the nerve center for a whole house audio/video system. Both can be re-configured to power the second zone. They even have dedicated control ports and remote controls for the second zone.

Control: Both receivers come with preprogrammed multi-unit remote controls with LCD information windows to operate your entire system. Our RNC-500, supplied with the R-965, P-965 and R-963 can even learn commands from other remotes.

Our R-965 flagship receiver is identical to its more advanced parents except for the necessary compromises due to the use of a single power supply for both the preamp and main amp sections and in its ultimate power capability. (The R-865 has fewer inputs and outputs and sacrifices a dB or two in total power, but suffers no loss in quality.)
