Features & Benefits

Full HD 1080p Video Transmision

By simply connecting a single HDMI cable between devices, full-HD video signals can be transmitted without any image degradation. Two HDMI-compatible devices can be connected to allow easy, convenient switching of video sources.

HDMI Connection (Input & Output)

With HDMI connection, recorded images are transmitted with no deterioration for high quality reproduction. Both video and audio signals are transmitted over a single cable, so connection is easier and there is less clutter.

H.D.M.I. - High-Definition Multimedia Interface

VIERA Link Control

With a single cable, HDMI enables transmission of not only A/V signals but also control signals. All you have to do to enjoy a new level of operation convenience is hook up to a VIERA Plasma TV or DVD-Recorder with VIERA Link Control compatibility. When you want home theatre entertainment, for example, just press a button on the remote. Power to all the components switches on, TV input and other settings are automatically adjusted, and the show's ready to begin. It's that easy.

150 Watts (DIN) with 7.1 Channel Output  

7.1 ch Surround Sound for Home Theatre
The SA-BX500 employs 7-channel amps, each with a full 150 watts* of power. You can enjoy up to 7.1 channels of brilliant surround sound. The SA-BX500 provides greatly improved realism of sound moving back and forth, and swirling around, over conventional 5.1 channel reproduction. The result is a rich, deep surround with superb presence - the kind of sound that draws you right into the picture.

Bi-Amp/Bi-Wiring Drive

SA-XR55 HiFi AV Receiver

When using bi-wired speakers with the SA-BX500, each speaker is driven by three amps for even higher sound quality. This bi-amp system drives the treble range with a single amp and the bass range with dual amps, using a total of six amps for high stereo fidelity.

Large Speaker Terminals

The speaker terminals are important because high contact resistance can degrade sound quality. BX500 is equipped with large terminals for all channels, making it possible to use high-fidelity Monster cables that minimize signal degradation

All-Stage 192kHz Compatibility

The BX500 amplifies signals from CDs, Bly Ray (BD) or DVDs and other digital sources in their original form. It does not convert them to analog. Moreover, the BX500 features a 192-kHz/24-bit A/D converter that converts analog signals from BD or DVD-Audio and other sources to digital signals immediately after input. This means that the BX500's digital processing is compatible with sample frequencies up to 192 kHz in all stages, from signal input to just before output to speakers. Compared to analog amps, the BX500 minimizes cross talk (unwanted signal mixing) and distributes more power over a wider frequency range. It unleashes the full high-quality, wide-frequency sound potential of BD/ DVD sources.

High Quality 192-kHz/24-bit A/D Converter

This converts analogue signals to digital signals and delivers them to the 32-bit DSP, giving you maximum benefit from the digital amp and digital functions even when playing analogue sources.
