Denon DRA 397 Literature/Product Sheet

DRA-397

AM/FM Stereo Receiver

Multi Source / Multi Zone Audio Video Receiver features XM ready and,

iPod control and command capability

The DRA-397 AM/FM receiver offers high-performance operation, functionality and affordability, all in a single unit. It includes a Video Select feature that lets

you control a variety of video and audio signals, a set PRE OUT jacks that lets you listen to music in a sub-room as well as the main room, and it

supports room-to-room remote control. Denon is well known for its uncompromising approach to sound quality and the DRA-397 is no exception thanks to

the meticulous Denon-developed circuitry and the Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC) chassis that prevents mutual interference among the circuits.

■

High-quality Power Amplifier

With 80 watts of power per channel (at 8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08% THD), the

DRA-397 delivers solid, reliable audio performance even when driving both A and B

speaker systems at the same time.

■

Signal Level Divided Construction Chassis Design

The circuit handling low-level signals has been divided into separate blocks to

ensure that influences from these signals on each other are held to an absolute

minimum. This new chassis design, known as the Signal Level Divided

Construction (SLDC), preserves the purity of the signal, allowing it to be repro-

duced with much greater fidelity and clarity.
