the RX-Z9's rear panel is large enough to
meet all of your system building needs. Note
that a number of these terminals are fixed and
assignable, meaning that they can be
independently assigned to sources of your
choice or defaulted to fixed settings.
Video Inputs on Front Panel
A panel on the front of the receiver flips up
to reveal a number of controls and video
input terminals. These include video and
audio terminals as well as optical digital and
S-Video inputs. This makes it convenient to
connect a game machine for DVD games or
even movies, or other devices such as a
camcorder.
Subwoofer Crossover Selection
The RX-Z9 provides a choice of nine
subwoofer crossover frequencies: 40, 60, 80,
90, 100, 110, 120, 160 and 200 Hz. In
addition to providing a wider range than other
receivers, the steps from 80 to 120 Hz are only
10 Hz apart for more precise selection. This
choice of crossovers lets you "fine-tune" the
audio system by selecting the optimum
frequency to maximize receiver/speaker
efficiency and also ensures best performance
from a wider variety of speakers (small to large).
