, a brand that has continuously demonstrated its commitment to high quality affordable home theater electronics, has enhanced its popular entry-level home theater receiver line with the new TX-SR504. The 504 improves on its predecessor (the TX-SR503) with the addition of XM's new Neural Surround™ support plus an adjustable lip-synch delay feature that allows users to compensate for the mis-match of audio and video components in some digital display systems.
The 504 also adds options for more precise control over a subwoofer in a home theater system. And all this comes without a price increase – the list price of the TX-SR504 is just $299, available in black or silver finishes.
As we initially reported in our
CES coverageearlier this year, XM Satellite Radio's new Neural Surround technology (also known as "XM HD Surround") offers a unique discrete 5.1-channel surround sound option for XM satellite radio subscribers – a first in the satellite radio market. It's great news to see this feature included in a product that anyone can afford, not just early adopters with deep pockets.
The new receiver also includes a wide array of features for home theater, including the latest in 7.1 channel processing, HDTV-capable component video switching for up to three component inputs, and enhanced compatibility with the company's RI (Remote Interactive) iPod dock.
