State-of-the-art Denon Solutions for

Maximizing Content Quality

• Robust power source for each block, for stable supply of current

To produce a clear, stable power circuit that prevents unwanted noise from affecting the sound, the AVR-889 has dedicated CPU and Standby transformers that are separate from the audio and video circuitry. The AVR-889 is endowed with a powerful rectifier circuit with 12,000μF block capacitors and a bridge diode of 8A capacity, surpassing typical models in this price range, to supply stable current with negligible noise.

• Minimum Signal Path

The "simple and straight" design concept has been thoroughly implemented in the signal paths to contribute to immaculately clean audio and video playback.

Signal paths are as short as possible to keep signal degradation in the audio and video circuitry to an absolute minimum.

• Direct Mechanical Ground

Vibration-resistant construction has been reviewed to thoroughly suppress the adverse influences of vibration on sound quality. The power transformers, a source of vibration, have been securely mounted on the highly rigid bottom chassis. Direct mounting of cast-iron feet to the radiator in near proximity to each other serves to suppress mutual vibration with the power transformers and other sources of vibration.

• Compressed Audio Restorer

Denon’s new audio technology for MP3/WMA/AAC compressed audio formats restores higher frequency sounds, along with rich, deeper bass.

Ease-of-Use

• Audyssey Dynamic Volume, for real-time volume adjustment

Large changes in volume sometimes occur between documentaries where the sound is mainly narrative and movies which often contain loud sound effects. Viewers often raise the volume for documentaries to hear the narrative more easily but then turn it down again when a commercial with loud sound effects comes on. They do this numerous times during a program of this type. Audyssey Dynamic Volume constantly monitors the sound sources and adjusts the volume to the optimum level for the particular source being heard without sacrificing dynamic range.

The AVR-889 is also equipped with Audyssey MultEQ which measures the acoustic characteristics of the room to obtain the optimum acoustic effects, and Dynamic EQ which reproduces the high and low range with the optimum acoustic effect during low volume levels. Dynamic Volume combines these two functions to achieve maximum performance.

• Audyssey MultEQ Auto setup and Room EQ

-Tower type microphone for more accurate measuring

-Up to six measurement points

-High level resolution filters for satellite speakers and also subwoofer
