Denon AVR-790 Literature/Product Sheet - Page 2

State-of-the-art Denon Solutions for Maximizing Content Quality • Robust power source for each block, for stable supply of current To produce a clear, stable power circuit that prevents unwanted noise from affecting the sound, the AVR-790 has a dedicated CPU transformer that is separate from the audio and video circuitry. The AVR-790 is equipped with a powerful rectifier circuit with 12,000 μF block capacitors and a bridge diode of 8A capacity, surpassing typical models in this price range, to supply stable current with negligible noise. • High-bit I/P Converter and Scaler up to 1080p The AVR-790 uses a high-performance video up-scaler to convert SD (standard definition) video material to HD (high definition) quality. This means that the 480i/480p (SD-quality) video signals of DVD programs and other material are converted to the highquality 1080p signal of HD video, and output to the HDMI port. The fuzziness in the details of SD video is removed to produce a clear picture. Now you can enjoy not only your DVDs but also your VCR tapes and games with much greater clarity and detail. • Analog to HDMI up-conversion, I/P converter and scaler on HDMI to HDMI Analog video input signals (composite, S-video, component) are converted to digital video signals and transmitted to the HDMI output port. Digital video signals are sent to the HDMI output even when multiple HDMI devices such as a video camera or a game console are connected to the AVR-790. One HDMI cable is all that's needed to connect the AVR-790 to a TV (monitor). • Dolby Pro Logic IIz processing Dolby Pro Logic IIz introduces a new dimension to home theater entertainment through the addition of a pair of front height channels. Compatible with stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 content, Dolby Pro Logic IIz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth and dimension to movies, concert video and video game playback while maintaining the full integrity of the source mix.

Signal paths are as short as possible to keep signal degradation in the audio and video circuitry to an absolute minimum. • Direct Mechanical Ground Construction, embodying concepts for thorough vibration resistance Vibration-resistant construction has been reviewed to thoroughly suppress the adverse influences of vibration on sound quality. The power transformers, a source of vibration, have been securely mounted on the highly rigid bottom chassis. Direct mounting of cast-iron feet to the radiator in near proximity to each other serves to suppress mutual vibration with the power transformers and other sources of vibration. • Digital / analog separate windings • Compressed Audio Restorer to enhance digital music files Connectivity & Future-ready Expandability • Power Amp Assign function, for versatility in using the AVR-790 for different purposes The AVR-790 supports up to 7.1 channels (FL/ FR/ C/ SL/ SR/ SBL/ SBR/ SW) for surround playback defined by the Blu-ray disc format. To enjoy surround playback with the AVR-790's Dolby Pro Logic IIz, you can reassign the power amp from the two surround back channels (SBL/SBR) to the two front high channels (FLH/FRH). Or by assigning the SBL/ SBR power amp to Zone 2, you can enjoy multi-room audio playback, or to achieve higher-quality sound for 2-channel stereo playback, you can configure the AVR-790 for front bi-amp operation. These are just some of the ways you can arrange the AVR-790's amps to suit various listening styles.

The AVR-790 is also equipped with Audyssey MultEQ which measures the acoustic characteristics of the room to obtain the optimum acoustic effects, and Dynamic EQ which reproduces the high and low range with the optimum acoustic effect during low volume levels. Dynamic Volume combines these two functions to achieve maximum performance. • MultEQ Auto setup and Room EQ room acoustic correction -Tower type microphone for more accurate measuring -Up to six measurement points -High level resolution filters for satellite speakers and also subwoofer • Auto surround mode • Audio Delay function (max. 6 frames or 200 mSec) • Muting level settings (Full/-40dB/-20dB) • Audio level memory, capable of correcting different signal levels for each input device • Variable subwoofer crossover switching Ports In Out HDMI Component S-Video Composite (Video) Analog Audio (Tuner included) Analog EXT.
