Utilizing the Cirrus Logic CS49700 series chipset and HDMI v1.4a, the Cinema 12 has the ability to properly decode and playback both the raw bitstream and lossless linear PCM signals from the latest high resolution formats, including Dolby True HD, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, and DTS-HD Master Audio.
To increase audio performance beyond that of the Cinema 11a, the Cinema 12 offers the very latest Burr Brown 32 bit/192 kHz surround DAC chips for the most impressive surround separation and steering, and the most accurate audio decoding. The Cinema 12 has the ability to set separate Listener Profile speaker settings for playback of Music and Movies.
The Cinema 12 uses the best available components in the audio circuit, resulting in extraordinary sound quality, which is a trademark of Cary Audio Design products. The Cinema 12 also contains an HD radio tuner for the highest resolution signals from FM broadcasts. Add to this an all new programmable remote and without question, the Cinema 12 is the highest performing home theater processor available today.
Highlights
It offers 12 sets of inputs on the rear panel. Input number One is either a balanced digital input or an analog XLR stereo input pair. These balanced inputs can be set to BYPASS for pure stereo reproduction or they can be set to process the incoming signal for surround sound playback. Inputs number Two through Eight are either Toslink digital, coaxial digital or RCA stereo analog inputs. There are also four HDMI v1.4a inputs.
The Cinema 12 has remote turn on triggers for power amplifiers or other devices. It features IR and RS 232 port inputs, and discrete command codes for infra red or RS 232 controls. The second zone outputs and the 7.1 RCA analog outputs are highlighted by a white surrounding to clearly distinguish them from the RCA inputs. Second zone operation offers a digital output and an RCA stereo analog pair of outputs. The Cinema 12 has 1 HDMI v1.4a output.
Sound decoding modes offered are Dolby True HD, Dolby Digital Plus, DHTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby Digital EX, DTS ES, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS NEO 96/24 and the music modes from both Dolby and DTS.
The front panel has a headphone jack for private listening that offers the Dolby Headphone circuit for private playback of your favorite movies or music in surround sound. All set up functions are shown in the front panel display to make set up without an external video display easy.
The clean industrial design harmonizes well with any of our award winning DVD players and power amplifiers.
