SC-77

Feel the Immersion.
For those who take their home entertainment seriously, we introduce the Elite SC-77 AV Receiver, featuring Class D³ amplifiers and delivering incredible fidelity, effortless connectivity, advanced multi-zone features and abundant power. It’s the home theater experience you’ve been waiting for.

Call it Audio Muscle — Class D³ Amplification
Rated at 140 Watts per channel (8 Ohms, 1kHz, 0.08% 2 ch driven THD), the SC-77 is one of the most powerful multi-channel AV receiver we’ve ever built. While lesser amplifiers’ output diminishes as channels are added, the SC-77 has the power to drive multiple channels simultaneously with no significant drop in per-channel output. This ensures that you’ll enjoy the full impact and dynamic range of high-resolution multi-channel audio as never before. Plus, the power consumption of the Digital Class D³ Amplifier is well below that of conventional Class AB amplifiers, helping you to save energy, too.

The Art of Sound Mastery
The SC-77 is THX^® Ultra2 Plus Certified, offering startling surround sound in rooms up to 3,000 cubic feet in size with a 12 foot or greater viewing distance from the screen. The SC-77 also supports high-definition audio formats like Dolby^® TrueHD and DTS-HD^® Master Audio, as well as DTS^® Neo:X surround, providing a 3-D surround experience for up to 11.2 channels.

What’s more, the SC-77 was certified at legendary AIR Studios in London. Renowned for their exceptional work on motion picture soundtracks, as well as first-rate digital music recordings for big name acts, AIR Studios knows what goes into an artist’s craft. And their objective is our objective: Faithfully reproduce in the home theater what the artist originally created in the studio.

Playback Savvy
The SC-77 supports the most popular high-resolution digital file formats, such as AIFF, WAV, FLAC and Apple Lossless, so audio enthusiasts can hear to their favorite music as it was originally intended. Apple Lossless enables the exact data to be reconstructed from the compressed data, so there’s no discernible loss in audio quality. Stream your MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV and FLAC music files from your compatible PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone. Plus, Gapless Playback eliminates sound gaps between consecutive tracks that were meant to be played continuously, such as with classical music or live recordings.

HDMI Zone 4 Output
The SC-77 takes the multi-room experience to a whole new level with the ability to deliver up to four different zones of content. It’s capable of powering a 5.1 Home Theater in the main zone, stereo audio in Zones 2 & 3, and delivering HD video content in Zone 4 via HDMI^®. All zones can enjoy different content at the same time. Control the entire experience with our new iControlAV2013 Android/IOS application.

4K Pass-Through
4K Ultra HD Pass-through is the next-generation standard of ultra-high video resolution, boasting 3,840 x 2,160 (24 Hz/25 Hz/30 Hz) pixels or 4,096 x 2,160 (24 Hz) pixels. That’s four times the current HD standard! All of our 2013 receivers can pass through 4K video signals to any compatible display, offering the highest quality image available.

MHL 2.0 adds support for 3D content, 1080p, and faster cell phone charging. Plus, high-definition video can be displayed on your HDTV with multi-channel sound while your device is charging.

Unleash Your Music with AirPlay^®
