All six power amplifier channels feature discrete power output

devices, and all six amplifier channels provide equal power with lowest

distortion. Each channel is rated at 90 watts, into 8 ohms, from 20 Hz

- 20 kHz, with no more than 0.05% THD. A hallmark of Denon A/V

component design, the equal power amplifier provides outstandingly

accurate reproduction of motion picture soundtracks and multi-channel

music programs.

Single-Channel Surround Back Power AMP for 6.1 Surround

and 2-channel Pre-output for 7.1 Surround

The AVR-2802 is equipped with a total of 6 power amps including one

for the Surround Back speaker to give you more clearly defined sound

localization at the rear for 6.1-channel surround sources such as DTS-ES

Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, Dolby Digital EX, and DTS-ES NEO:6.

The AVR-2802 also provides you with 2 PRE OUT terminals for the

Surround Back channels, allowing for the ultimate home theater experi-

ence in amazing 7.1-channel Surround, when a second power amplifier

is added.

■

High Power Custom Transistor

When temperatures rise or fall inside the unit, bias current values supplied

to the power transistor tend to fluctuate, causing sound quality to

deteriorate. The high power custom transistor used in the AVR-2802

ensures that the bias current is constantly uniform so that the sound

you hear is of consistently stable, high quality.

■

High-quality DSP

A high-quality 24-bit fixed point DSP processor has been used in the

DSP processor, placing the AVR-2802 at a higher rank than other

models of this class in its ability to accurately decode and reproduce

the superior quality of DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS

NEO:6, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic II.

■

Featuring DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 Decoding

The AVR-2802 is equipped with the DTS-ES (true discrete) 6.1 decoder,

developed by DTS to provide dramatically improved surround sound

panoramic reproduction and superior surround sound localization.

■

Supports DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 Decoding

■

Supports DTS NEO:6 Surround Decoding

Featuring Dolby Pro Logic II Decoding

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 fre-

quency 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. In Dolby Pro Logic II, there is a Movie

mode

(*1)

that creates a sound space suitable for movies, a Music mode

that does the same for music, and a Pro Logic emulation feature that

reproduces sound effects in the way that conventional Pro Logic does.

5-CH/6-CH Stereo Mode

Denon's popular 5-CH/6-CH Stereo mode transforms your favorite

2-channel sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo video

sources into exciting surround sound, free of delay effects and

unnatural artifacts, from all five, or six, speakers. This 5-CH/6-CH

Stereo mode was originally developed by DENON to enhance

music lovers' enjoyment of home theater ambience.

96 kHz, 24-bit Audio D/A Converters

The AVR-2802 is equipped with 6 amplifiers of equal power, one for each channel, in a discrete configuration for total accuracy

when reproducing sound from demanding DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, Dolby Digital, DVD-Audio, and SACD sources. The Dolby Pro Logic

II feature lets you hear 2-channel stereo sources in realistic 5.1-channel surround sound. For multi-room versatility, the AVR-2802's

Multi Source function lets you enjoy audio, for instance, in one room while another program source is playing in the main room.
