We’ve had a lot of success at Sherwood since our company’s inception in 1953. We developed the
world’s first digital-read-out tuner, the first all-silicon solid-state receiver, the world’s first computer controlled tuner,
the first receiver with DTS and more. Many of our products have been hailed for their performance. When one of
our now departed audiophile publications reviewed our Micro CPU digital tuner, they needed to revamp the scale on
their charts just to document its performance. Tom Norton and company at UltimateAVMag.com named our Newcastle
R-965 receiver one of the world’s dozen best for the last two years. Even Mr. Analog once called our R-945 receiver
the finest he’d ever had in his home. As deserving of superlatives as these components were, with our new R-972 re-
ceiver we’ve erupted onto new ground. Never before has Sherwood, or any
other brand, shoehorned a $13,000 Professional Room Equalization system into
an audio/video receiver.
But our inclusion of Trinnov’s Optimizer in the Sherwood Newcastle
R-972 is only part of the story. The 972 maintains the Newcastle brand’s repu-
tation for exceptional audio performance and adds contemporary creature com-
forts like: full support for HDMI 1.3b; an Advanced Graphical User Interface
(GUI) for user setup and control; a multi-brand, preprogrammed and learning
remote control that communicates with the 972 via IR or RF and can operate the entire associated system from any-
where in your home; scaling and deinterlacing of all incoming video to any of several High Definition resolutions in-
cluding 1080p; support for the lossless audio tracks now available on selected BluRay and HD-DVD titles; XM Radio
Connectivity; USB capability; RS-232 two-way communications port; advanced multi-zone capability and more. One
can even add piano black end caps for a more Uptown appearance or rack adapters to properly fit the receiver to a pro-
fessional equipment rack.
