AV Receiver Reviews

This graph shows that the RX-V2200's left channel, from CD input to speaker output with two channels driving 8-ohm loads, reaches 0.1% distortion at 76.5 watts and 1% distortion at 106.9 watts. Into 4 ohms, the amplifier reaches 0.1% distortion at 142.6 watts and 1% distortion at 206.5 watts. With five channels driving 8-ohm loads, the amplifier reaches 0.1% distortion at 73.8 watts and 1% distortion at 101.4 watts.

The analog frequency response was -0.08 decibels at 20 hertz and 20 kilohertz. The response dropped to -0.28 dB at 10 Hz and -0.49 dB at 50 kHz. THD+N from the amplifier was less than 0.037% at 1 kHz when driving 2.83 volts into an 8-ohm load. Crosstalk at 1 kHz driving 2.83 volts into an 8-ohm load was -74.37 dB left to right and -73.63 dB right to left. The signal-to-noise ratio with 2.83 volts driving an 8-ohm load from 10 Hz to 24 kHz with "A" weighting was -105.98 dBrA.

From the Dolby Digital input to the loudspeaker output, the left, center, and surround channels are all flat, +0.02/-0.62 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. From the Dolby Digital input to the line-level output, the LFE channel is -0.43 dB at 20 Hz when referenced to the level at 40 Hz and reaches the upper 3-dB down point at 91 Hz and the upper 6-dB down point at 108 Hz.—AJ
