For those who demand the very best in home entertainment, we introduce the Elite SC-79 AV Receiver, featuring state-of-the-art Class D3 amplifiers. The SC-79 delivers incredible fidelity, effortless connectivity, advanced multi-zone features and immense power. Audiophiles, get ready for the ultimate immersive experience • Rated at 140 Watts x 9 channels (8 Ohms, 1kHz, 0.08% THD), the SC-79 is one of the most powerful multi-channel AV receiver we’ve ever built. While lesser amplifiers’ output diminishes as channels are added, the SC-79 has the power to drive multiple channels simultaneously with no significant drop in per-channel output. This ensures that you’ll enjoy the full impact and dynamic range of high-resolution multi-channel audio as never before. Plus, the power consumption of the Digital Class D3 Amplifier is well below that of conventional Class AB amplifiers, helping you to save energy, too • The SC-79 is THX® Ultra2 Plus Certified, offering startling surround sound in rooms up to 3,000 cubic feet in size with a 12 foot or greater viewing distance from the screen. The SC-79 also supports high-definition audio formats like Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD® Master Audio, as well as DTS® Neo:X surround, providing a 3-D surround experience for up to 9.2 channels • The SC-79 was certified at legendary AIR Studios in London. Renowned for their exceptional work on motion picture soundtracks, as well as their history-making digital CD recordings, AIR Studios knows what goes into an artist’s craft.

Apple Lossless enables the exact data to be reconstructed from the compressed data, so there’s no discernible loss in audio quality. Stream your MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV and FLAC music files from your compatible PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. And the SC-79 features 192kHz/32-bit asynchronous USB-DAC for ultra-high quality music playback from a USB connected PC or Mac. Plus, Gapless Playback eliminates sound gaps between consecutive tracks that were meant to be played continuously, such as with classical music or live recordings • HDBaseT makes watching high-definition content easy. As the new standard for multi-zone HD connectivity, HDBaseT technology lets you stream uncompressed full 4K UltraHD digital audio and video without an HDMI® cable — one standard LAN cable is all you need. The SC-79 takes the multi-room experience to a whole new level with the ability to deliver up to four different zones of content. Capable of powering a 5.1 Home Theater in the main zone, stereo audio in Zones 2 & 3, and delivering HD video content in Zone 4 via HDMI or HDBaseT. All zones can enjoy different content at the same time. Control the entire experience with our new iControlAV2013 Android/IOS application. HDBaseT supports all standard audio formats, including Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby TrueHD, and DTS HD-Master Audio, as well as all key HDMI features, such as EPG, CEC, EDID, and HDCP. Plus, the Ethernet cable can be as long as 100 meters without any drop in quality • 4K Ultra HD Pass-through is the next-generation standard of ultra-high video resolution, boasting 3,840 x 2,160 (24 Hz/25 Hz/30 Hz) pixels or 4,096 x 2,160 (24 Hz) pixels. That’s four times the current HD standard! All of our 2013 receivers can pass through 4K video signals to any compatible display, offering the highest quality image available • Enjoy an exceptional, virtually noise-free picture regardless of the source.

Your Blu-ray Discs and DVDs will look more detailed and cinematic than ever before • This special jitter reduction technology helps to better reproduce realistic sound by utilizing the master audio clock in the AV Receiver for playback instead of the video clock in a compatible BD player • This unique feature helps to eliminate phase disruptions and better synchronize the output between multiple speakers for a stunningly immersive surround sound experience • MCACC (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration) is an automatic sound field adjustment system. Using a microphone to monitor the sound environment and an equalizer to optimize the parameters, the system enables you to precision-tune the sound to the room. The result sounds like a professional recording engineer has fine-tuned your home theater system • All channels of the SC-79 employ ESS-DAC SABRE32 technology, the world’s highest performance 32-bit audio DAC solution, delivering spectacular sound with a minimum of harmonic distortion • In addition to being DLNA 1.5 and Windows® 8 certified, the SC-79 features AirPlay.
