Graphs for distortion and frequency response tests are shown below. We now
include THD measurements using Dolby Digital input signals, which are decoded by the
receiver.
Using DD input signals through a Toslink optical digital input (the next five
graphs), and the output signal measured through a pre-out, a 1 kHz signal,
recorded at - 10 dB, resulted in 0.07% THD, which is practically right on
manufacturer's spec.

IMD peaks were very small through the pre-out, using 1 kHz and 1.5 kHz sine
wave inputs signals.

There was a bit more IMD using 5 kHz and 6 kHz input signals, but the peaks
were still very low.

Using a 10 kHz sine wave input, THD was above manufacturer's spec, but still
low.

The IMD peaks, with 10 kHz and 11 kHz input signals, were again, very low.

Maximum voltage at the pre-out, was 0.76 volts RMS. Not very much, but enough to
drive most power amplifiers. I would like to see at least 1 volt RMS output
capability though (the Benchmark minimum spec is 1 volt RMS).
