Audyssey
HDCD
®
is an encoding/decoding technology that greatly reduces
the distortion that occurs upon digital recording while maintaining
compatibility with the conventional CD format, thus expanding the
dynamic range and achieving a high resolution.
Conventional CDs and HDCD compatible CDs are identified
automatically to select the optimum digital processing.

DENON LINK
Advanced AL24 Processing Multi
channel
DENON LINK is a unique digital, balanced transfer type interface
developed by DENON. It offers high speed, high quality transfer of
digital audio data with low signal loss. It can be used together with
DENON DVD players equipped with a special DENON LINK connector
using a single cable to enable playback with high sound quality.
It allows digital transfer of the 192 kHz/24 bit 2-channel digital signals
of DVD-Audio discs, PCM multi-channel signals, etc. Full-spec digital
transfer of the audio contents of Super Audio CD is possible by
connecting a player equipped for DENON LINK 3rd Edition.
Equipped with “Advanced AL24 Processing” time axis region
information volume expansion
In addition to the existing “AL24 Processing Plus” bit expansion
technology, DENON has also developed “Advanced AL24 Processing”
that dramatically improves information volume in the time axis region
using high-speed signal detection and processing technology. In
addition to expanding original 16-bit digital data to 24 bits, “Advanced
AL24 Processing” uses data interpolation along the time axis or up-
converted sampling to achieve natural interpolation without losing the
original data. A digital filter is used to further expand adaptability and
perform optimum filtering calculations for ringing-free pulse response,
pulsive music data and attack sounds.
This results in the reproduction of such spatial information as the
delicate nuances in the music, the positions of the performers, and
the breadth, height, and depth of the concert hall. “Advanced AL24
Processing” is conducted for all channels and modes other than DSD
DIRECT.
Audyssey MultEQ

XT
Audyssey MultEQ
®
XT is the first technology to properly measure
sound information throughout a listening area, then combine this
information to accurately represent the acoustical problems in
the room. Based on these measurements, MultEQ XT calculates
an equalization solution that corrects for both time and frequency
response problems in every seat. Audyssey MultEQ XT not only
corrects frequency response problem in a large listening area but also
performs a fully automated surround system setup.
For a detailed description, see page 26.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ™
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound
quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception
and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the best possible frequency
response and surround levels moment-by-moment as volume is
changed. The result is bass response, tonal balance and surround
impression that remain constant despite changes in volume. This
is the first technology to combine information from incoming source
levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a pre-requisite
for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ
works in tandem with Audyssey MultEQ to provide well-balanced
sound for every listener at any volume level.

Neural Surround™, a breakthrough in audio technology, will bring the
excitement of surround music to more of America’s listening audience.
It provides the rich envelopment and discrete image detail of surround
sound in a format 100 % compatible with stereo. With superior
spectral resolution and channel separation, Neural Surround™ draws
the brain’s attention to sonic details in musical instruments, vocals,
and ambience that are typically masked by other playback systems.
This allows the listener to fully experience the richness and subtleties
in recorded performance as never before. As the chosen format for XM
Satellite Radio’s new XM HD surround programming, Neural Surround
will help deliver more surround music to more listeners than any other
broadcast format. XM Satellite Radio will be the first radio company to
broadcast surround sound on the radio 24 hours a day and will offer
three channels fully dedicated to Neural Surround™ music. This alone
will amount to more than 25,000 hours of Neural Surround™ music
each year.
