The system consists of a full featured 6.1 channel surround receiver, progressive-scan DVD changer, 150-Watt powered subwoofer, and six stylish extruded aluminum speakers designed to complement modern flat panel and projection video displays. The 6.1-channel SKS-HT240 speaker and subwoofer system is also available separately for use with other home theater electronics.
The centerpiece of the HT-L970 is the company’s TX-LR552 A/V receiver, which combines six channels of digital amplification, complete 6.1-channel processing, and a comprehensive array of inputs and outputs into a chassis that is under 4-inches high. Each of the receiver’s six amplification channels is capable of delivering 65 watts of power into six ohms, thanks to Onkyo’s exclusive digital amplifier technology.
The included DV-CP702 DVD changer features a six-disc carousel, with a unique blue-illuminated tray light for disc recognition, in an ultra-thin, 3-1/2 inch tall housing. It features 192-kHz/24-bit audio DACs with Onkyo’s Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry (VLSC) for smoother, more detailed analog output. The company’s exclusive Direct Digital Path ensures maximum integrity of Dolby Digital, DTS and PCM audio signals to the rear-panel optical and coaxial digital outputs. The player is fully compatible with DVD, DVD-R/RW, CD, JPEG Picture CD, and CD-R/RWs encoded with MP3 or WMA files.
All of the components in the Onkyo HT-L970 home theater package come in a sleek titanium and silver finish. The HT-L970 is now available with a suggested retail price of $1000. The included SKS-HT240 speaker system can also be purchased separately at a suggested retail price of $500.
