more than 0.2% THD (USA & Canadian model).
2 X 100 watts continuous power at 4 ohms DIN (European model)

I Plenty of Clean Power
Powerful] enough for those difficult" low impedance loads,
the TX-SV4I4PRO delivers 60 watts per channel in stereo
mode. into 8 ohms. with no more than 0.08% THD. ln sur»
round mode it provides a full 50 watts of power to the left and
right front channels. and to the center channel as well. The rear
surround speakers each receive 15 watts per channel.

I Dolby Pro-Logic Surround Sound
This advanced Dolby Surround system creates a multi-dimen-
sional soundstage by offering better front-to-rear channel sepa
ration and a separate center channel amplifier. so the dialog
appears to come directly from the TV screen.
