The world of hi fi and home theater is often a confusing place. It is filled with acronyms, jargon and sometimes misinformation. How is anyone supposed to feel comfortable purchasing a system if they don't understand what they're buying? Rotel to the rescue! We've developed several resources to help you.

Rotel Connections Newsletter
This issue of the Rotel Connections newsletter couldn’t be more aptly named, as the first subject we deal with is about what’s changing in home electronics connections: specifically, DVI, HDMI and IEEE-1394 Firewire. Next, we review the evolving state of DVD and high definition DVD – Blu-Ray versus HD-DVD. You won’t want to skip over this article! Of course, many of you are more concerned about music and what’s happening to high-end formats like SA-CD and DVDA. We also cover what’s going on with compressed digital files such as MP3 and AAC, as well as music media storage devices. Finally, we give you the latest information on digital amplifiers, which are coming of age in terms of high performance sound quality and higher output.
You can order a free copy from marketing@rotel.com, or simply to access a downloadable version please join our Rotel Members Area.
