Three of the seven HDMI inputs are HDMI 2.1 with 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz support, while the other four run at HDMI 2.0 speeds — note that the 2.1 ports are capped at 24Gbps, so higher-bandwidth features rely on Display Stream Compression. The single HDMI output handles eARC for lossless Dolby Atmos and DTS-HD from your TV. A built-in MM phono stage, optical and coaxial digital inputs, and 100W per channel across 7.2 channels make this AVENTAGE model a solid mid-range choice. Dual subwoofer pre-outs allow a two-sub configuration.
