Abstract
For achieving an audio reproduction with high sound quality, in a multi-channel A/V amplifier, front speakers are driven with a parallel-drive bi-amplifier arrangement upon stereo reproduction. In the case of the multi-channel reproduction mode, the switching circuit allows an output signal of each channel of the decoder to be sent to speakers via amplifiers for each channel in one-to-one correspondence. On the other hand, in the case of the 2-channel stereo reproduction mode, the switching circuit allows at least two amplifiers among the plurality of amplifiers to be connected in parallel between the output signal for each of the channels L and R of the decoder and the speakers for each of the channels L and R, and also allows the timing of the output signals of the respective amplifiers to be varied.
