State-of-the-art Denon Solutions for

Maximizing Content Quality

• Anchor Bay VRS analog to HDMI up-conversion, I/P converter and scaler on HDMI to HDMI

Analog video input signals (composite, S-video, component) are converted to digital video signals and transmitted to the HDMI output port. Digital video signals are sent to HDMI output even when multiple HDMI devices such as a video camera or a game console are connected to the AVR-990. One HDMI cable is all that’s needed to connect the AVR-990 to a TV (monitor).

.

• 7ch Discrete Mono Amp Construction

New construction design (discrete amp construction for each channel) is adopted for more precise sound reproduction.

• Clock Jitter Reducer available for all digital inputs

The Clock Jitter Reducer thoroughly suppresses fluctuations on the clock waveform to remove distortion from the digital audio signal and minimize adverse influences on sound quality.

High-bit I/P Converter and Scaler up to 1080p

The AVR-990 uses a high-performance Anchor Bay VRS video up-scaler to convert SD (standard definition) video material to HD (high definition) quality. This means that the 480i/480p (SD quality) video signals of DVD programs and other material are converted to the high quality 1080p signal of HD video, and output to the HDMI port. The fuzziness in the details of SD video is removed to produce a clearer picture. Now you can enjoy not only your DVDs but also your VCR tapes and games with much greater clarity and detail.

• Support for new surround extensions

The power amplifier channels can be assignd to allow different configurations including PLIIz front height effects, SBR/SBL, etc.

-Dolby Pro Logic IIz processing

Dolby Pro Logic IIz introduces a new dimension to home theater entertainment through the addition of a pair of front height channels. Compatible with stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 content,
