Audio Video Controller

Parasounds AVC-ZSOOu is the refined audio video controller to meet all your feature needs, and it is easy to

use! With aTHX Ultra certification, the AVC-2500u utilizes three ultra-clean, ultra-fast 24-bit processors to decode

Dolby Digital, Dolby Prologic and DTS signals along with music surround. For easy set up,a premium microphone is

included so the AVC-2500u can automatically calibrate speaker levels and delays for you. For radio listeners, a

tuner is included with twelve additional source inputs that can be custom labeled and assigned dedicated surround

sound modes. One touch of the DVD button on your back-lit remote control and the AVC-2500u already knows

to play Dolby Digital! Better yet, use one of the four macros on the learning remote to turn everything on and

press play with one button touch. Your home theater will sound better and be easier to operate than ever before.
