The MDP 500 forms the heart of a high-end home cinema and audio system and should be used with high quality power amplifiers such as the Myryad MA 240 and MA 360 two and three channel power amplifiers. The MDP 500 decodes Dolby Digital , DTS 1 and Dolby Pro Logic (MPEG decoding is an optional extra which may be retro-fitted). The 7. 1 channel input is equipped with comprehensive volume control facilities and ensures that the MDP 500 will remain compatible with new multichannel formats as they appear.
