The Cinema 70s (below) gives a 7.2 channel, at 50 watts per channel, the Cinema 60 (A$2,658) offers 7.2 channel, 100 watts per channel, while the Cinema 50 has an 11.4-channel processor, 9-channel amplifier with 110 watts per channel (A$3,910).

All the receivers incorporate class A/B amplifiers, with 192kHz audio playback, HDR10+ support, Dolby Vision, HLG, and Dynamic HDR pass-through, with HDMI-eARC and Gaming Support (4K/120Hz, 8K/60Hz).
