Additional functions

Audyssey Dynamic Volume®

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

DENON LINK 4th (Jitter-free playback)

DENON LINK 4th adds high-quality playback of HD audio in addition to the outstanding performance of DENON LINK 3rd, high quality audio signal transmission technology developed by DENON.

By connecting an AV amplifier and Blu-ray Disc player that both support DENON LINK 4th with a DENON LINK cable (supplied with the Blu-ray Disc player) and HDMI cable (sold separately), you can control the Blu-ray Disc player using the master clock signal sent from the AV amplifier.

As D/A conversion is performed by the AV amplifier master clock, there are no effects of clock jitter from the HDMI transfer, enabling jitter free playback.

Sound localization becomes clearer, producing the clear sense of space in the sound images that can only be achieved from HD audio.

Audyssey DSX™

By connecting front height speakers to this unit and playing back through Audyssey DSX™, you can experience a more powerful playback expression in the height audio range. By connecting front wide speakers, you can experience a more powerful playback expression in the wide audio range.

Dolby Pro Logic gz

Dolby Pro Logic gz introduces a new dimension to Home Entertainment through the addition of a pair of front height channels. Compatible with stereo, 5.1-channel and 7.1-channel content, Dolby Pro Logic gz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth and dimension to movies, concert video and video game playback while maintaining the full integrity of the source mix.

Dolby Pro Logic gz identifies and decodes spatial cues that occur naturally in all content, directing this information to the front height channels, complementing the performance of left and right surround sound speakers. Content that is encoded Explanation of terms with Dolby Pro Logic gz height channel information can be even more revealing, with perceptually discrete height channel information bringing an exciting new dimension to home entertainment.

Dolby Pro Logic gz, with front height channels is also an ideal alternative for households that cannot support the placement of back surround speakers of a typical 7.1-channel system but may have bookshelf space available to support the addition of height speakers.

HDMI (Ver. 1.4a with 3D)

This unit can output 3D video signals input from a Blu-ray Disc player to a TV that supports a 3D system.

DTS Neo:X

This technology enables the playback of 2-channel source audio or 7.1/5.1 multi-channel source audio through a maximum 9.1 channel speakers, achieving an even broader sound field.
