NEW MODEL I N F O R M AT I O N Dolby Digital and DTS A/V Receiver AVR-1602 With Dolby Pro Logic II for a New Way To Enjoy Home Theater The AVR-1602 A/V receiver with Dolby Pro Logic II and powerful output of 70 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-1602's Virtual Surround mode to give yourself the sensation of being completely surrounded by sound as you would in a real theater. s Fully Discrete, Equal Power Five Amplifier Channels, 70 Watts Each Front Center Surround 70 W + 70 W 70 W 70 W + 70 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD) (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD) (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD) For optimum Dolby Digital and DTS reproduction, the AVR-1602 features high quality, wideband audio amplification, providing 70 watts power output for each of the five main channels. A large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer along with discrete power output devices on all five amplifier channels for highest dynamic range and superb reproduction clarity. s 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 5.1channel surround sound. s Dolby Digital and DTS Decoders Equipped with both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 channel decoding, the AVR-1602 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. s Cinema Equalizer The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other formats emphasizes correction of components that deteriorate in the high-frequency range due to a theater's front speakers 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-1602 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) s 5 Channel Stereo Mode DENON's exclusive 5 Channel Stereo mode provides superb surround sound with conventional two channel music and video sources. Hear exciting surround sound, without delay effects and unnatural artifacts, from all five speakers with your favorite two channel music sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo video sources. s Virtual Surround Mode Surround yourself with sensational 3D soundfield envelopment using just one pair of speakers.
