AVR-1802

With Dolby Pro Logic II for a New Way To Enjoy Home Theater

In addition to Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic II and powerful output of 80 watts per channel, the versatile AVR-1802 A/V receiver gives you 1 set of video, audio, and digital optical input terminals on the front panel where you can conveniently connect your home video camera. Dolby Pro Logic II lets you enjoy existing Dolby Surround programs and conventional stereo sources such as CD or your home video sound track in the exciting ambience of 5.1 channels. The AVR-1802 also

provides a Virtual Surround mode that recreates the sensation of surround sound if your system has only two front speakers.

■Fully Discrete, Equal Power Five Amplifier Channels, 80 Watts Each

Front	80	W + 80 W	(8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
Center	80	W	(8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
Surround	80	W + 80 W	(8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)

For optimum Dolby Digital and DTS reproduction, the AVR-1802 features high quality, wideband audio amplification, providing 80 watts power out- put for each of the five main channels. A large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer along with discrete power out- put devices on all five amplifier channels for highest dynamic range and superb reproduction clarity.

■Dolby Pro Logic II Decoder

Enjoy 2-channel stereo recordings in stunning 5.1-channel surround playback.

The Dolby Pro Logic II decoder reproduces dynamic 5.1-channel surround sound not only from normal 5.1-channel DVD but from 2-channel sources such as videos and CDs, too. Dolby Pro Logic II uses matrix decoding technology that has been dramatically improved over Pro Logic. With Pro Logic II, for instance, the Surround (Rear) channels are in stereo (only mono with Pro Logic) and playback covers the full frequency range (only up to 7 kHz with Pro Logic). These improvements let you enjoy a wide variety of 2-channel sources with the exciting effects of 5.1- channel surround sound.

■Dolby Digital and DTS Decoders

Equipped with both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 channel decoding, the AVR-1802 provides thrilling surround sound with the thousands of Dolby Digital and DTS encoded DVDs, as well as the growing library of DTS 5.1 channel music recordings available on CD.

■Cinema Equalizer

The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other formats emphasizes correction of components that deteriorate in the high-frequency range due to a theater’s front speakers being placed behind the movie screen. If this sound is reproduced in the home theater without correction, the high-frequency range is too strong. The AVR-1602 features a Cinema Equalizer to correct these high-frequency components so that the sound is clearer and easier to listen to. (For Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, and DTS surround modes)

■5 Channel Stereo Mode

DENON's exclusive 5 Channel Stereo mode provides superb surround sound with conventional two channel music and video sources. Hear exciting surround sound, without delay effects and unnatural artifacts, from all five speakers with your favorite two channel music sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo video sources.
