Denon AVR 1604 Literature/Product Sheet

The AVR-1603 A/V receiver with Dolby Pro Logic II and powerful output of 80 watts per channel lets you enjoy multi-channel

home theater entertainment in a new dimension. In addition to Dolby Digital and DTS, you can now also enjoy existing Dolby

Surround programs and conventional stereo sources such as CD in convincing 5.1-channel likeness. And if you have only two

speakers, one for each stereo channel, you can use the AVR-1603's Virtual Surround mode to give yourself the sensation of

being completely surrounded by sound as you would in a real theater.

Dolby Pro Logic II Decoder

Enjoy 2-channel stereo recordings in stunning 5.1-channel surround

playback.

The Dolby Pro Logic II decoder reproduces dynamic 5.1-channel surround

sound not only from normal 5.1-channel DVD but from 2-channel

sources such as videos and CDs, too. Dolby Pro Logic II uses matrix

decoding technology that has been dramatically improved over Pro

Logic. With Pro Logic II, for instance, the Surround (Rear) channels are

in stereo (only mono with Pro Logic) and playback covers the full frequency

range (only up to 7 kHz with Pro Logic). These improvements let you

enjoy a wide variety of 2-channel sources with the exciting effects of 5.1-

channel surround sound.

■

Dolby Digital and DTS Decoders

Equipped with both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 channel decoding, the

AVR-1603 provides thrilling surround sound with the thousands of

Dolby Digital and DTS encoded DVDs, as well as the growing library of

DTS 5.1 channel music recordings available on CD.

■

Cinema Equalizer

The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other

formats emphasizes high-frequency range due to a theater’s front speak-

ers being placed behind the movie screen. If this sound is reproduced in

the home theater without correction, the high-frequency range is too

strong. The AVR-1603 features a Cinema Equalizer to correct these high-

frequency components so that the sound is clearer and easier to listen to.

(For Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, and DTS surround modes)

DENON's popular 5 Channel Stereo mode transforms your favorite

enjoyment of home theater ambience.

■

Virtual Surround Mode

Surround yourself with sensational 3D soundfield envelopment using

just one pair of speakers. The AVR-1603's Virtual Surround mode
