3CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
•Switching the input function when input jacks are not connected
A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components to the input jacks.
•Muting of PRE OUT jacks and SPEAKER terminals
The PRE OUT jacks and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced for several seconds after the power switch is turned on or input function, surround mode or any
•Whenever the power switch is in the STANDBY state, the apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage.
Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation.

6.Wide screen mode for a
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
7.24 bit D/A Conversion
All eight channels, including the seven main channels and the low frequency effects (LFE) channel benefit from reference ANALOG DEVICES DACs, 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:
(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
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.
(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
The DENON
9.Component Video Switching
In addition to composite video and “S” video switching, the AVR- 4800 provides 2 sets of component video (Y,
10.Video Select Function
Allow you to watch one source (visual) while listening to another source (audio).
11.Five Identical Power Amplifiers
Featuring discrete high current power transistors, the power amp section is THX Ultra certified for top performance with the widest range of speaker systems. Rated at 125 watts into 8 Ω /ohms, the amp channels feature additional low impedance drive capability.
12.Future Sound Format Upgrade Capability via Eight Channel Inputs & Outputs
For future
13.Amplifier assign function for greater liberty in upgrading the system with an external power amplifier
When using an external power amplifier (option) to upgrade to a THX Surround EX system, you can choose whether to use the internal amplifier for the front channels or the surround back channel. Even when the system is upgraded with an external power amplifier for the front channels the internal amplifier can be used for the surround back channel.
