AVR-3806
A/V Receiver
Latest DSP technology employed in DENON's critically acclaimed
D.D.S.C-Digital circuitry for the finest in multi-channel audio performance
'New DDSC-Digital,' for dramatically improved processing performance
The New DDSC (Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit)-Digital is a high-quality
surround sound reproduction circuit designed by Denon, and forms the core of the
design concept that Denon pursues for all its A/V amps: to faithfully reproduce the
original intent of content producers. Denon has succeeded in developing a fully
discrete design for the New DDSC-Digital in which high-performance ICs are
used in independent blocks to form a signal processor that reproduces surround
sound, and the discrete design ensures that all channels are endowed with identical
response and quality of sound.
High-Quality Sound Reproduction
• New High Resolution 32bit Floating Point DSP
• 24-bit/192-kHz D/A Converter
The latest high-accuracy 24-bit/192-kHz D/A converter has been employed
for the audio DAC.
• High-performance A/D Converter
A high-performance A/D converter of 24-bit/192-kHz quality has been used
to significantly boost S/N and dynamic range.
DENON LINK multi channel digital audio input
The AVR-3806 incorporates DENON LINK 3rd Edition,this new edition now allows
the input of uncompressed Super Audio CD digital signals as well as
DVD-Video/Audio. To transfer high resolution,multi-channel digital audio signals,
DENON has developed a unique digital transmission technology, known as DENON
LINK.This digitally balanced transfer technology permits jitter-less data
transfer and ultra-low noise.The AVR-3806 incorporates this latest digital audio
interface, so the end user will experience the absolute finest in audio playback
between the AVR-3806 and a DENON LINK featured DVD player.
HDMI In/Out Terminals and Repeater Function
The AVR-3806 is equipped with 2 HDMI inputs, as well as 1 output, allowing the
selection of multiple digital video signals. The HDMI terminals also accepts multi-
channel digital audio input and the input signals can be output via amps.
Video Conversion to HDMI
This video transcoding technology lets you enjoy highest picture quality from all video
gear connected to the AVR-3806.
• Composite <-> S-Video
• S-Video <-> Component
• Composite <-> Component
• Composite/S-Video/Component -> HDMI
•3 Sets of Component Video Inputs
The AVR-3806 is equipped with 3 sets of assignable, component video inputs and 2
set of monitor outputs. Component video signals can be output simultaneously via
these 2 component output terminals.
•High Definition Quality Video Switching
The high-performance selector that is used to switch component video signals, fea-
tures an extended bandwidth range up to 100 MHz.
Auto Set-up and Room EQ featuring Audyssey MultEQ,
for overall listening area support
The AVR-3806 includes an Auto Set-up function that performs basic settings for the
speakers based on frequency response data for the speakers and the listening room
that was measured by a supplied high-performance microphone, and a Room EQ
(equalizer) function that optimizes frequency response characteristics for the listening
room. The AVR-3806 is also capable of obtaining data for up to 6 listener positions
which it analyzes using Audyssey's newly-formulated algorithms, and performs equal-
ization to match the overall listening area and create an ideal home theatre environment.

Designed for high sound quality
• Hefty Power Transformer for Stable Supply of Power
• large-capacity Block Capacitor
• Detachable AC Power Cord
Support for Multi Zone Configurations
The AVR-3806 provides a Multi Zone Output function and a Select function that let
you output different sources to multiple zones. Sources can be selected for output to
an additional zones, in addition to the main room. Zone 2 can have variable pre-amp
output along with a composite video/S-Video feed. And an independently selected
audio source can be output to Zone 3 with a fixed pre-amp output. The
AVR-3806's Power Amplifier Assign function lets you assign the 2 Surround Back
(SB L/R) amplifier channels when the system is not configured for 7.1, to drive the
Zone 2, or 3 speakers, with 120 Watts per channel output power, while still provid-
ing 5 discrete amplifier channels to drive all speakers in a 5.1 configured home the-
ater room. With this Power Amplifier Assign function, Front speakers can be bi-wired
to improve playback quality in the front for enhanced listening enjoyment.
