Master Audio.
The M80 amplier can be congured for stereo audio playback, 5.1 or 7.1 Surround congurations with an LFE (sub-
woofer) Pre-Out, or split into a 2 Zone conguration featuring a 5.1 Surround conguration in the Main Room with
stereo audio in a second room.
The SmartEQ Speaker Calibration System samples the Main Room acoustics and automatically sets speaker levels,
delays and EQ to optimize audio performance for 5.1 and 7.1 congurations to assure seamless surround audio eects.
The 2 Zone capability provides true whole-house entertainment. The Main Room can be watching a movie from Blu-
ray or sports program from Satellite or Cable on the High Denition big screen with 7.1 surround, while the iPod, XM
Tuner or Music Server provides music entertainment on the patio. An IR Receiver located in Zone 2 and connected to
one of the M80s two IR Inputs allows the dedicated Zone 2 IR Remote to independently control Zone 2 functions from
the remote location.
The M80 includes a built-in AM/FM Stereo Tuner and a Rear Panel XM Ready Port for connection of an external XM Sat-
ellite Radio Tuner. The M80 can store up to 30 AM and FM Preset Channels and up to 40 XM Preset Channels. The M80
OSD, (On Screen Display) will output an on-screen graphic for AM/FM frequency and Preset to the Main Room Video
Display. The OSD will also display metadata for channel, preset, artist and song for a connected XM Ready Tuner that
can also be controlled by the M80 Remote.
The M80 features a dedicated iPod audio input and communication port. When connected to the Rear Panel MDP Port
via a Procient Audio iPod Dock, iPod functions can be controlled from the M80 Front Panel or M80 Remote. The OSD
will display iPod menus and metadata on the Main Room Video Display.
The M80 features multiple, assignable HDMI, Component, S and Composite Video inputs along with multiple, assign-
able Optical and Coaxial Digital Audio inputs, multiple analog line level stereo inputs and a 7.1 channel input that
provide convenient connection and switching for up to eight home entertainment source components. The M80 also
includes HDMI, Component, S and Composite Video Monitor outputs for connection to any video display. The M80
also features Coaxial and Optical Digital Audio outputs.
The M80 is versatile and sophisticated, yet easy to setup and operate. The OSD provides clear, easy to use setup
screens for every connection and function. Complete on-screen source conguration, Smart EQ automatic speaker
calibration, video output resolution and Listening Mode selections are all part of the OSD. The OSD is easily operated
with the cursor buttons on the M80 Front Panel or M80 Remote. The M80 Remote can control all OSD functions in ad-
dition to AM/FM/XM Tuner functions and iPod Menu navigation for complete armchair control.
The M80 is more than a solid performer, it looks good too. The cast aluminum Front Panel is like no other and makes
an impressive addition to any stack of gear.
Fully Featured. Solid Performer. Great Looking. Home entertainment never looked and sounded this good.
