Panasonic SA-HE9 AV-receiver
The pendulum swung back in the fashion side of the light patterns, but today manufacturers are not in a hurry to burn all the bridges and offer the customer the most to make a choice. This receiver is a silver version of the receiver Technics SA-DX950, coinciding fully with him in everything else. And the choice of colors in this case is logical: in a bright palette company has been releasing new player models and a set of theater acoustics. It is assumed, except for a single sale, supply them together as a kit SC-HE9 "theater of one of the box".
Despite its apparent simplicity, the receiver SA-HE9 included in the group of the most versatile models. So it adjoin the entrance to the cartridge and six-channel line input, and the additional possibility of using enhanced downmix and a separate adjustable subwoofer output.
The receiver SA-HE9 used brand new hybrid chip output amplifier FET (MOSFET), operating in a "superior class of H+". However, we have repeatedly noted the feature class H+, consists in the fact that it has no power reserve signal peaks in the traditional sense of the word. Two chips (two-and three-channel) are installed on individual radiators. The configuration of the ventilation holes on the chassis is made hook that cooling effectively helps traditionally present on the rear panel fan.
For many years, the company advocates a minimalist approach to the mind, but in fact eliminates the unnecessary fuss. The principle of "Plug-and-see" is the best suited for home theater. The viewer only puts the disc, and all the necessary switching (decoder, acoustics, etc.), the receiver automatically. Of course, it can not be without adjustments - not avoid ridicule of competitors, so that something that is offered. But only the most necessary. Amplifier parameters are consistent with the applied acoustics simple choice of size (small or large). Level of the channel gain is adjustable +/- 10 units (one can assume that dB, but any reference to it are not available). Delay in Pro Logic is not regulated: as it is not so critical for this mode at the idea of it, then set to the default value that meets the requirements of most rooms. In this mode there is a clue HELP (also already become mandatory for receiving units), which warns of wrong-doing or suggests a way out of the situation. Setting the delay and the level of multi-channel operation - only additional channels (center, rear, subwoofer). But at the same receiver - one of the few that allow for direct entry tuning tuner radio frequency remote control.
