SR-8100: User Manual
Features
The Sherbourn SR-8100 is a reference-caliber home theater receiver with high-performance
audio and video processing and seven channels of audiophile quality Class A/B amplification. The
SR-8100 provides plenty of audio and video inputs for most video enthusiasts, supports all the
latest surround sound decoding options, and delivers enough power to drive most speakers to
satisfying levels in a typical small-to-medium home theater. The SR-8100 includes the Sherbourn
Advanced Room Correction System™, which automatically calibrates your speakers and the rest
of your system to deliver clean and amazingly accurate sound with just a few simple commands.
If you prefer to configure your system manually, the SR-8100 also includes three separate banks
