May 2008 Buying a 5.1-channel all-in-one surround sound system is one thing. Actually being allowed to set up all five speakers plus a subwoofer in a typical living room can be much more problematic… Home cinema and music enthusiasts who know – even before they ask the question – that there’s no way they are going to get away with installing a full multi-speaker surround system can now get the next best thing… the Jamo DMR 45 2.1-channel Virtual Surround DVD/CD receiver. Capable of playing a wide range of discs (CD, DVD and MP3/WMA/MPEG-4 encoded discs, DivX etc) this compact 90mm high unit delivers a weight 2 x 75w of power and is equipped with a LFE (low frequency effects) output to allow a subwoofer to be hooked up if required. Dolby Virtual Speaker technology also creates a wider two-channel soundstage when playing stereo CDs and MP3s, and when combined with Dolby Pro Logic II processing, delivers a virtual surround listening experience from any high-quality stereo source. Much more than a simple "expanded stereo" performance, Dolby Virtual Speaker incorporates highly advanced algorithms and extensive room-modeling technologies to reproduce the sonic spectrum and dynamics of a properly placed 5.1-speaker system in a room environment. Naturally owners also get the full panoply of 5.1-channel processing with Dolby Digital as well as video upscaling up to 720p/1080i video resolution, to enhance standard DVD quality on modern flatscreens. Owners of portable audio devices will appreciate the provision of a front-panel USB port for their devices. Once plugged into the DMR 45 music stored on the devices can be replayed via the system speakers or indeed via headphones (Dolby Headphone technology is also provided, to give convincing surround sound effects without disturbing others). Video output provision is comprehensive. As you’d expect there’s a HDMI output for your flatscreen or projector plus component video and S-Video outputs. Radio listening is taken care of courtesy of a 40-preset AM/FM RDS-capable tuner section. And with a standby mode power consumption of less than a watt owners can rest assured that the DMR 45 won’t be chewing up a lot of energy when not in use. When it comes to speaker options owners are spoilt for choice, as you’d expect given that this is a Jamo DVD/CD receiver but the package that we’ve assembled here is perfect if you prefer a satellite speaker system that’s a little more low-key (near invisible would be a more accurate description!). We’ve combined the DMR 45 with a pair of our award-winning A 102 satellites along with a Jamo SUB 200 powered subwoofer, to create the A 102 HCS 22. The tiny A 102 satellites are weighty, magnetically shielded boxes that pack a mighty punch, due in no small part to the 90mm (3in) co-axial driver that’s fitted. Finished in high-gloss black and silver these are intended for placement on the wall (a wall bracket is supplied as standard). And then there’s the SUB 200. Equipped with a 200mm (8in) downfiring woofer this is a bass-reflex design with both line-level and high-level inputs, automatic on/off switching and controls for level, cut-off and phase. Buy a Jamo A 102 HCS 22 and you can be assured of superb sound and video quality with the absolute minimum of intrusion… Buying a 5.1-channel all-in-one surround sound system is one thing.

Coherent, dynamic, extended in the bass (to 27Hz), very low in distortion, and tonally well balanced, the R 909 does a positively spectacular job of reproducing the scope and power of large-scale music."
