1.

Digital Surround Sound Decoding

 

Featuring 32 bit high speed DSP, operating entirely

 

in digital domain, surround sound from digital

 

sources such as DVD, LD, DTV and satellite are

 

faithfully re-created.

2.

Dolby Pro Logic II decoder

 

Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing

 

multichannel audio signals that offers

 

improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic.

(1) Movie Surround

Motion picture soundtracks use the surround

channel(s) to provide the ambient elements of

the acoustic environment they want the

audience to realize. This is best accomplished

by the use of specially-designed surround

speakers that offer a wide diffusion pattern

(bipolar dispersion) or by using surround

speakers that provide broad dispersion with a

•Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections have been completed.

•Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right).

•Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections will result in the generation of noise.

•Use the AC OUTLET for audio equipment only. Do not use them for hair driers, etc.

•Note that binding pin plug cords together with AC cords or placing them near a power transformer will result in generating hum or other noise.

•Noise or humming may be generated if a connected audio equipment is used independently without turning the power of this unit on. If this happens, turn on the power of the this unit.

It can be used to decode not only sources

recorded in Dolby Surround but also regular stereo

sources into five channels (front left/right, center

and surround left/right). In addition, various

parameters can be set according to the type of

minimum of on-axis localization (dipolar

dispersion). Side wall mounting (closer to the

ceiling) of the surround speakers provides the

greatest envelopment, minimizing localization

of direct sound from the speakers.

Connecting the audio components

•When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.

source and the contents, so you can adjust the

sound field with greater precision.

3. Dolby Digital

Using advanced digital processing algorithms,

Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-

range, high fidelity surround sound. Dolby Digital

is the default digital audio delivery system for

North American DVD and DTV.

4. DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range,

high fidelity surround sound, from sources such as

laser disc, DVD and specially-encoded music

discs.

5. DTS-ES Extended Surround and DTS Neo:6

The AVR-3802 is compatible with DTS-ES Extended

Surround, a new multi-channel format developed by

Digital Theater Systems Inc.

The AVR-3802 is also compatible with DTS Neo:6, a

surround mode allowing 6.1-channel playback of

(2) Music Surround

With full range discrete surround channels, as

well as three discrete full range front channels,

digital formats such as Dolby and DTS offer

thrilling surround sound music listening.

Producers of multi-channel discrete digital

music recordings almost always favor the use

of direct radiating (monopolar) surround

speakers, placed in the rear corners of the

room, since that is how they configure their

studios during the mixing/creation process.

The DENON AVR-3802 provides the ability to

connect two different sets of surround

speakers, and place them in the appropriate

locations in your AV theater room, so that you

can enjoy both movie soundtracks and music

listening, with optimum results and no

compromise.

Connect the turntable’s output cord to the AVR-3802’s PHONO jacks, the L (left) plug to the L jack, the R (right) plug to the right jack.

NOTES:

•This unit cannot be used with MC cartridges directly. Use a separate head amplifier or step-up transformer.

•If humming or other noise is generated when the ground wire is connected, disconnect the ground wire.

(total capacity – 100 W)

The power to this outlet is turned on and off in conjunction with the POWER operation switch on the main unit, and when the power is switched between on and standby from the remote control unit.

No power is supplied from this outlet when this unit’s power is at standby. Never connect equipment whose total capacity is above 100 W.

NOTE:

Only use the AC OUTLET for audio equipment. Never use them for hair driers, TVs or other electrical appliances.

Connecting the pre-out jacks

Use these jacks if you wish to connect external power amplifier(s) to increase the power of the front, center, surround and surround back sound channels, or for connection to powered loudspeakers.

To use Surround back with one speaker, connect the speaker to SURR. BACK L CH.

regular stereo sources.

6. Wide screen mode for a 7.1-channel sound

even with

5.1-channel sources

DENON has developed a wide screen mode with

a new design which recreates the effects of the

multi surround speakers in movie theaters. The

result is 7.1-channel sound taking full advantage of

surround back speakers, even with Dolby Pro

Logic or Dolby Digital/DTS 5.1-channel signals.

7. 24 bit D/A Conversion

All six channels, including the five main channels

and the low frequency effects (LFE) channel

benefit from reference, for optimum high fidelity

reproduction of music and movie soundtracks.

8. Dual Surround Speaker Mode

Provides for the first time the ability to optimize

surround sound reproduction using two different

types of surround sound speakers as well as two

different surround speaker positions:

switching, the AVR-3802 provides 2 sets of

component video (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR) inputs for the

DVD and TV/DBS inputs, and one set of

component video outputs to the television, for

superior picture quality.

10. Video Select Function

Allow you to watch one source (visual) while

listening to another source (audio).

11. Future Sound Format Upgrade Capability via

Eight Channel Inputs & Outputs

For future multi-channel audio format(s), the AVR-

3802 is provided with 7.1 channel (seven main

channels, plus one low frequency effects channel)

inputs, along with a full set of 7.1 channel pre-amp

outputs, controlled by the 8 channel master

volume control. This assures future upgrade

possibilities for any future multi-channel sound

format.
