NEW MODEL INFORMATION AVR-2800 Dolby Digital and DTS A/V Receiver Outstanding surround sound an affordable price, with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding. Featuring the latest in Dolby Digital and DTS decoding technology, the AVR-2800 provides outstanding home theater surround sound performance. The heart of the AVR-2800 is Denon's Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit-Digital technology, incorporating high performance dual DSP chips and superior A/D and D/A conversion devices. This provides superb listening results, with virtually any home theater or music source. Prepared for the future, the AVR-2800 features 6-Channel external input, for connection to future multi-channel surround formats. A high quality, discrete power output section provides a total system power of 425 watts RMS into 8 ohms. Full 24 bit, 96 kHz digital-to-analog D/A converters on all 6 channels (3 stereo pairs) provide transparent reproduction of multi-channel music and motion picture soundtracks with outstanding dynamic range and superb low level resolution. Outstanding surround sound an affordable price, with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding. The AVR-2800's remote controller features an easy-touse layout where most frequently used buttons are provided in different colors and shapes for easy recognition, even while keeping your eyes on the screen. The buttons also feature "Self-illuminated GLO-KEY" for easy operation in the dark. s Equal Power Discrete Power Amplifier Front 85 W + 85 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD) Center 85 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD) Surround 85 W + 85 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD) All five power amplifier channels feature discrete power output devices, and all five amplifier channels provide equal power with lowest distortion. Each channel is rated at 85 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. s DDSC-Digital (Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit-Digital) Since surround signals are all processed in the digital domain, the AVR-2800 is equipped with a newly-developed, sophisticated, high-performance dual DSP circuit for the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, dts decoders, and Surround Simulator. The D/A converters feature high resolution designs for all the Front L/R, Center, Surround L/R, and Subwoofer channels. This combination of DSP and D/A converters works to bring out the tremendous potential of Dolby Digital and dts sound. In addition, high resolution A/D converters have been incorporated for the Dolby Pro Logic decoder. The high sound quality of New DDSC-Digital is due in part to the high-grade signal processing of the 24-bit, 96-kHz Digital Interface Receiver (DIR). The AVR-2800 not only allows digital signals input from DVD and other advanced media to pass directly to the DIR, it also processes them while preserving their integrity so that even the most delicate nuances of the music, reflecting the emotions of the artists, are passed unfettered to the dual digital signal processors (DSP).
