7-Channel Equal Power

 

7-Channel Equal Power is a feature used in various Denon amplifiers to connect 7 speakers independently so that separate power amps connected via pre-outs are not required. It allows you to connect the second 'surround back' speaker to complement the surround back speaker for 6.1, straight off the main amplifier without adding a power amplifier to support 7.1 surround formats. Amplifiers with 7-Channel Equal Power have built-in separate internal amplifiers to power each channel independently, thus allowing you to enjoy the same high power output capability per channel, giving a balanced and truly high-impact surround-sound environment.

 

 

7-Channel Stereo

 

Denon's 7-Channel Stereo mode enables top quality normal two channel stereo output from the surround speakers to provide a unique 7 channel stereo option. This mode can be fully utilized from any high quality stereo source via CD, tape, FM-radio or video recorder for dynamic 7-channel output. The 7-channel stereo is available if you have a surround back right speaker connected as well as the surround back left speaker used in 6.1, otherwise you can still experience multi-channel stereo output using a 5-channel-stereo or 6-channel-stereo configuration.

 

 

8-Channel Input

 

These input jacks are for inputting multi-channel audio signals in high definition MUSE 3-1 format, multi-channel audio signals from an MPEG multi-channel decoder, SACD and DVD-Audio. The 8 channels are the Front left, Front right, Center, Surround left, Surround right, Surround Back Left, Surround Back Right and the Subwoofer. These connections are made by using 8 standard phono (RCA's) cables. The inputs are on the amplifier and by selecting 'Ext in' you can receive analog audio signals via a source such as a DVD player. Denon DVD players can be connected via the 6 phono cables to a Denon amplifier's 6-CH or 8-CH EXT inputs to allow for SACD or DVD-Audio transfer. This can also be used as an alternative to IEEE1394-output (Digital Audio) FireWire connection or the DENON LINK connection.

 

 

Advanced AL24 Multi

 

In addition to the existing AL24 Processing Plus bit expansion technology, DENON has also developed Advanced AL24 Processing that dramatically improves information volume in the time axis region using high-speed signal detection and processing technology.  In addition to expanding original 16-bit digital data to 24 bits, Advanced AL24 Processing uses data interpolation along the time axis or up-converted sampling to achieve natural interpolation without losing the original data. Advanced AL24 Processing Multi Channel is conducted for all channels and modes other than DSD DIRECT.

 

 

Audyssey Dynamic Volume

 

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies.

 

 

Audyssey MultEQ XT

 

The Audyssey MultEQ XT provides advanced room correction and calibration technology. During the Auto Set-Up mode, MultEQ XT automatically determines how many loudspeakers are connected, whether they are connected in phase and whether they are satellites or subwoofers. After processing, it then analyzes and calibrates speaker level, size, and distance. MultEQ XT detects the proper crossover point and determines correct frequency response for up to eight listener positions simultaneously. Denon's implementation of MultEQ XT uses multiple DSP processors with high-end digital-to-analog converters. Both the Room EQ and Auto Set-Up features can be disabled if required. For additional information, you can download an Audyssey MultEQ XT tech note in the download section for the products having the feature.

 

 

Cinema Equalizer

 

The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, dts, or other formats emphasizes high-frequency range due to a theaters front speakers being placed behind the movie screen. If this sound is reproduced in the home theater without correction, the high-frequency range can be too strong. Denon amplifiers feature a Cinema Equalizer to correct these high-frequency components so that the sound is clearer and easier to listen to.

 

 

Custom Integration

 

Custom Integration "CI" is Denon's certification to custom installers that models marked with the CI stamp have advanced connectivity and control features often required for custom home integration and theater applications using premium control systems.

 

 

DDSCHD

 

D.D.S.C.-Digital-Circuit is used for high-quality Sound Reproduction. It is a circuit configuration specially designed by Denon in which all elements of the surround processor are optimized through the use of selected high-performance discrete components, including separate A/D and D/A converters, with sophisticated DSP surround decoding. The latest version D.D.S.C.-HD, incorporates the latest updates to accommodate today's HD requirements.

 

 

DENON LINK

 

Connected via a shielded twisted pair (STP) RJ-45 fitted cable to a Denon Link-compliant A/V amplifier, the balanced signal transfer offers lower voltage than coaxial or unbalanced cables. Since Denon Link is far less susceptible to radiated noise, it ensures the highest level of signal transfer. The Denon Link interface is able to transfer high grade LPCM 24-bit, 192kHz, 2-channel and 96kHz, 24-bit, multi-channel digital output. Denon Digital Link uses low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS). Transfer capabilities of greater than 1.2 Gbps at a differential voltage of approximately 0.3 Vpp are possible. For additional information, visit the Denon Tech Showcase.

 

 

Dolby Headphones

 

In conventional headphones, sound is directed into the listeners ears from two sides in order to preserve the stereo effects from the speakers. The Dolby Headphone, however, generates signals that more closely emulate surround sound from the speakers to give you a more realistic multi-channel sound effect through your headphones. It supports Dolby Pro Logic, Pro Logic II, and Dolby Digital as well as stereo and multi-channel signals. Dolby Headphone reproduces the sonic experience you receive through your speakers from stereo or multi-channel sources. It provides three distinct modes: o DH1: Referred to as Dolby Headphone Reference Room, this mode recreates a small, acoustically dry room, well-suited to both music and movie programs. o DH2: This mode has an acoustically softer effect than DH1, and is best suited for music recordings. o DH3: This mode gives a greater sense of distance and sonic dispersion to create a large room such as a concert hall or movie theatre.

 

 

Dolby True HD

 

True high definition sound, identical to studio masters. Provides up to 7.1 channels of pristine lossless audio playback 100 percent of the time.

 

 

DTSHD Master Audio

Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit (D.D.S.C.-Digital-Circuit)

 

D.D.S.C.-Digital-Circuit is used for high-quality Sound Reproduction. It is a circuit configuration specially designed by Denon in which all elements of the surround processor are optimized through the use of selected high-performance discrete components, including separate A/D and D/A converters, with sophisticated DSP surround decoding.

 

 

EL-Touch-Panel Remote Control

 

This remote control utilizes an electroluminescent display, similar to the technology employed by LCD backlights. On this Denon remote, the luminous blue color of the buttons is the backlight being allowed through the insulating surface that covers the remotes functions. Each function, or button, has its own parent EL area and is configured to allow different buttons to become lit when certain modes are engaged.

 

 

HDCD (High Definition Compatible Digital)

 

HDCD is an encoding/decoding technology that encodes with 20 bits of real musical information, as compared with 16 bits for all other CDs, greatly reducing the distortion that occurs upon digital recording, while maintaining compatibility with conventional CD formats. HDCD overcomes the limitation of the 16-bit CD format by using a sophisticated system to encode the additional 4 bits onto the CD while remaining completely compatible with the existing CD format. HDCD provides more dynamic range, a more focused three-dimensional soundstage, and extremely natural vocal and musical timbre to achieve the highest resolution. With HDCD, you get the body, depth, and emotion of the original performance not a flat, digital imitation

 

 

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

 

This is a digital interface standard for next generation television developed based on the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) used for computer displays and optimized for use in non-professional equipment. With it, non-compressed digital video and multi-channel audio signals can be transferred with a single connector, eliminating the need to use separate cables for picture and sound and making it possible to make connectors smaller. HDMI is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a technology for protecting copyrights that encrypts digital video signals.

 

 

HD Radio

 

Enables the reception of high-quality digital AM and FM stations. Broadcast simultaneously with traditional analog signals, HD Radio signals provide crystal-clear CD-quality sound, program information (e.g. artist, song title, station, etc.), and multiple channels of programming  on the same FM frequency.

 

 

Made For iPod

 

The Made for iPod mark signifies that this product has been designed to work with iPod devices either through docking stations or connection cables.  Available features will be dependant on the products used.

 

 

MP3 (MPEG 1, Audio Layer 3)

 

MP3 is considered one of the most popular codec (encoder/decoder) for storing and transferring music. Though it employs a "lossy" compression system that removes signal components judged to be inaudible, MP3 still manages to deliver reasonable sound quality in files that are 80 to 90% smaller than comparable uncompressed WAV files. You can select varying amounts of compression when creating MP3 files.

 

 

Multi-Room Entertainment System

 

Denons Multi Source function lets you select different audio sources for listening in different locations (some models may have volume adjust only for zone 2). Different sources can thus be enjoyed in the main room (MAIN) and sub-room(s) – ZONE 2, ZONE 3 or ZONE 4 – simultaneously (number of zones is model dependent). For additional information, check the instruction manual of the A/V receiver or power amplifier of interest for complete functionality.

 

 

Neural Surround

 

Neural Surround™, a breakthrough in audio technology, brings the excitement of surround music to more of Americas listening audience. It provides the rich envelopment and discrete image detail of surround sound in a format 100 % compatible with stereo. With superior spectral resolution and channel separation, Neural Surround™ draws the brains attention to sonic details in musical instruments, vocals, and ambience that are typically masked by other playback systems. This allows the listener to fully experience the richness and subtleties in recorded performance as never before.  Neural Surround™ is the chosen format for XM Satellite Radios new XM HD surround programming.

 

 

Noise Shaped Video (NSV)

 

The NSV precision video feature works in the digital domain to reduce noise in the video signal frequency band in order to enhance video signal linearity, provide the most accurate signal representation, and enhance the picture quality. Noise shaping techniques can be combined with dynamic element matching techniques in order to reduce the matching requirements of DAC elements by converting the analog mismatch into out of band noise. This approach of dynamic element matching and noise shaping has been shown to allow the use of sigma delta modulation at video data rates. NSV is the only product on the market that can achieve ultimate precision with 12-bit fidelity in both digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital domains.

 

 

Personal Memory Plus

 

Personal Memory Plus is a function that allows a receiver to store the surround modes, the level setting for all speakers, and the delay time to further customize the sound source. With the push of a button, the receiver will be turned to the source of choice and the preset settings will be activated.

 

 

Radio Data System (RDS)

 

RDS is a standard for sending small amounts of digital information using conventional FM radio broadcasts. Widely used in Europe, but less so in North America, the RDS system standardizes several types of information transmitted, including time and station identification. Radio Broadcast Data System is the official name for the U.S. version of RDS, though the "RDS" name seems to be at least as common in usage. The two standards are nearly identical, with only slight differences, mainly in which numbers are assigned to each of 31 musical and other program formats the RBDS system can identify. Both use a 57 kHz sub-carrier to carry data at 1187.5 bits per second to prevent interference or inter-modulation.

 

 

Rhapsody

 

A subscription-based online music service from Real Networks that gives users unlimited access to a vast library of major and independent label music. Within a single interface, Rhapsody provides access to streaming music, Internet radio and extensive music information and recommendations. A subscription is required.

 

 

THX Ultra2

 

THX Ultra2 Cinema Mode produces appropriate sound field effects when 5.1 channel movie sources (without Dolby EX or dts-ES encoded effects) are played in a 7.1 channel system. With the advent of very high speed digital processing, more sophisticated trimming is applied to accurately recreate a large theatre-type sound in a conventional home cinema size room. Advanced processing widens the rear soundstage, which allows the side surrounds to deliver predominantly ambient information, the surround-back channels directional information. Likewise, the THX Music Mode produces appropriate sound field effects for Dolby Digital, dts, and other 5.1 channel music sources when they are played in a 7.1-channel system.

 

 

WMA (Windows Media Audio)

 

WMA is an audio compression format developed with Microsoft technology. It claims to offer the highest quality sound available in the industry. Becoming a standard audio compression format, rivaling the popularity of MP3, WMA is used to compress a music CD on a computer with an equivalent quality of sounds to that of the original CD (when using Encoder 9).

 

 

wifi

 

Wi-Fi Certification assures tested and proven interoperability by the Wi-Fi Alliance, a group certifying interoperability among wireless LAN devices. IEEE 802.11b is one wireless LAN standard and IEEE 802.11g is another wireless LAN standard set by the 802 working group that establishes LAN technology standards at the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) of the United States. 802.11b uses the 2.4 GHz band usable freely without a radio frequency license (ISM band), enabling communications at a maximum speed of 11 Mbps. 802.11g is compatible with IEEE 802.11b and it also uses the 2.4 GHz band, but enables communications at a maximum speed of 54 Mbps.
