Paul Belanger, technical product manager for D+M noted: “To create our E-Series, we looked at virtually every aspect of what a user would touch, look at or hear in an audio/video receiver – no feature, cosmetic element or connector was spared – our designers and engineers were instructed to make whatever changes they deemed necessary to build a new type of receiver that would offer total ease of use, total ease of setup and the very best possible user experience. Just as importantly, we wanted to make today’s most immersive and thrilling home theater surround sound experience available to as many people as possible.”
