ur design philosophy is based on a consideration of how each individual 
part interacts with the others and affects audio and video performance. 
The end result is a receiver design where the power amplifier block and 
the pre-amplifier coexist, but are perfectly isolated. Furthermore, the 
circuit boards have been affixed to the chassis so that vibrations from 
the base are suppressed. 
At the core of Onkyo's Signature sound 
is Onkyo's proprietary Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT). This 
innovative amplifier design is comprised of three key elements: (1) A 
low negative feedback design for cleaner audio across the frequency 
range; (2) Closed groundloop circuits to cancel individual circuit noise
 and keep the ground potential free of distortion; and (3) A high 
instantaneous�current capability to handle speaker reflex energy and 
impedance fluctuations. 
On the processing side, PLL (Phase 
Locked Loop) jitter�cleaning technology removes digital pulse noise, 
while VLSC� circuits help to create a pristine analog waveform, ready 
for amplification by Onkyo's efficient Three-Stage Inverted Darlington 
Circuitry. This abundance of clean power, advanced processing technology
 and generous build specification are what will drive your home 
entertainment to previously unimagined heights.
