Field Upgradeable: In the fast moving audio world, it's hard to keep up with all the new advances. Both the R-965 and R-865 have upgradeable operating systems. As new technologies emerge they can be added to keep these receivers continually up-to-date.

Advanced Room 2 operation: With independent program routing and control for a second room, both receivers can serve as the nerve center for a whole house audio/video system. Both can be re-configured to power the second zone. They even have dedicated control ports and remote controls for the second zone.

Control: Both receivers come with preprogrammed multi-unit remote controls with LCD information windows to operate your entire system. The RNC-500, supplied with the R-965, P-965 and R-963 can even learn commands from other remotes.
