A/V Receiver

AVR-3806

Latest DSP technology employed in DENON's critically acclaimed D.D.S.C-Digital circuitry for the finest in multi-channel audio performance

■'New DDSC-Digital,' for dramatically improved processing performance The New DDSC (Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit)-Digital is a high-quality surround sound reproduction circuit designed by Denon, and forms the core of the design concept that Denon pursues for all its A/V amps: to faithfully reproduce the original intent of content producers. Denon has succeeded in developing a fully discrete design for the New DDSC-Digital in which high-performance ICs are used in independent blocks to form a signal processor that reproduces surround sound, and the discrete design ensures that all channels are endowed with identical response and quality of sound.

•3 Sets of Component Video Inputs

The AVR-3806 is equipped with 3 sets of assignable, component video inputs and 2 set of monitor outputs. Component video signals can be output simultaneously via these 2 component output terminals.

•High Definition Quality Video Switching

The high-performance selector that is used to switch component video signals, fea- tures an extended bandwidth range up to 100 MHz.

■Auto Set-up and Room EQ featuring Audyssey MultEQ,

for overall listening area support

The AVR-3806 includes an Auto Set-up function that performs basic settings for the speakers based on frequency response data for the speakers and the listening room that was measured by a supplied high-performance microphone, and a Room EQ (equalizer) function that optimizes frequency response characteristics for the listening room. The AVR-3806 is also capable of obtaining data for up to 6 listener positions which it analyzes using Audyssey's newly-formulated algorithms, and performs equal- ization to match the overall listening area and create an ideal home theatre environment.

■Support for Multi Zone Configurations

The AVR-3806 provides a Multi Zone Output function and a Select function that let you output different sources to multiple zones. Sources can be selected for output to an additional zones, in addition to the main room. Zone 2 can have variable pre-amp output along with a composite video/S-Video feed. And an independently selected audio source can be output to Zone 3 with a fixed pre-amp output. The AVR-3806's Power Amplifier Assign function lets you assign the 2 Surround Back (SB L/R) amplifier channels when the system is not configured for 7.1, to drive the Zone 2, or 3 speakers, with 120 Watts per channel output power, while still provid- ing 5 discrete amplifier channels to drive all speakers in a 5.1 configured home the- ater room. With this Power Amplifier Assign function, Front speakers can be bi-wired to improve playback quality in the front for enhanced listening enjoyment.
