Separate Current Supplies for Circuits

The AVR-2800 is equipped with a main transformer featuring independent 5-winding outputs, and a dedicated transformer for the microprocessor, to completely separate the power amplifier, audio, digital, video, and display circuits. This construction reduces noise interference among the circuits and ensures a clean, transparent sound.

Hefty Power Transformer for Stable Supply of Power A power transformer has been connected in the power sec-

tion where it is combined with a rectifier diode and a large block capacitor to ensure a large, stable supply of electrical current. Accordingly, the AVR-2800 boasts high output power of 85 W for each of the 5 channels.

Stable Speaker Drive

In the AVR-2800, the circuitry through which current flows

to drive the speakers has been incorporated onto a single board between the rectifier circuit of the power source and the speaker terminals. A new phase correction circuit has also been adopted, eliminating the need for an output coil. Since this configuration allows the power transistor to drive the speakers directly, there is no loss of power to any of the channels. The sound that you hear is thus extremely stable as well as powerful.

Pre Outputs for System Upgrading

The pre-out terminals on the AVR-2800 is offered for Front L/R, Center and Mono (Subwoofer) channels. A separate power amp can be connected to these terminals to upgrade your system.

Video Select Switch

This function lets you select video sources independently of the audio sources.

All-channel Level Control

Binding Post Speaker Terminals for All Channels

Icon-based On-Screen Display

The AVR-2800 provides an On-Screen Display (OSD) fea- turing icons (pictorial representations) to let you easily monitor the current operating status.

Personal Memory Plus

The handy Personal Memory Plus function allows you to

store the surround mode, the level settings for all speakers, as well as the delay time, to further customize the sound source. Simply push any source button and it will instantly display the settings stored for that source.

Multi-function Remote Controller

Self-illuminated GLO-KEY Remote Controller with Easy Recognition Layout

System Call Function to execute up to 10 successive pre-assigned commands at the single touch of a button
