Surround Receiver
, First in the World* with "Dolby Virtual Speaker" Delivering
Dynamic Surround Sound Effects from 2 Stereo Speakers
The ADV-M71 DVD Surround Receiver is the first DVD system in the world* to feature "Dolby Virtual Speaker", the latest revolutionary sur-
round format developed by Dolby Laboratories. "Dolby Virtual Speaker" is able to recreate a sound space ambiance equivalent to that of
multi-channel surround sound from just 2 front speakers in a DVD system that has only 2 front channel power amps. Signals that are
decoded into 5.1 channels are then processed by Virtual Speaker to produce surround sound with localization that is more accurate that
conventional virtual surround systems. Since listeners can effectively enjoy surround sound from just the 2 front speakers, they save space
by not needing to set up center or surround speakers or worry about how to place them in their particular listening room.
In addition, the ADV-M71 features "Dolby Headphone" function, normally found only on DENON models in the highest price range, and the
Hammer Head SHARC, the latest 32-bit floating point DSP which has been used in DENON's high-end AVC-A1SR surround amplifier
where it earned high critical acclaim. These features enable the ADV-M71 to support the latest surround formats and ensure high accuracy
in surround decoding.

A World First! - Equipped with Dolby Virtual Speaker, the latest surround format
DENON's new DVD system is the first of its kind in the world to include Dolby Virtual Speaker, the latest revolutionary surround format
developed by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Virtual Speaker effectively allows listeners to enjoy the surround sound effects of multi-channel
playback with just 2 front speakers connected to a DVD system equipped with power amps for the 2 front channels. Since listeners do not
need to set up center or surround speakers or worry about correct placements, they also save space.
Dolby Headphone
Dolby Headphone allows listeners to achieve the same quality of acoustic characteristics through headphones as they can from the speak-
ers. This means that listeners can enjoy the dynamic surround sound of their home theater in the middle of the night, for instance, when
neighbours might otherwise be disturbed.
Attractive Tactile design in a compact body
With its compact body of just 210 mm wide and 95 mm high, the sturdy aluminum front panel and the tastefully plated operating buttons,
the ADV-M71 is finished in an attractive tactile design. Of course, the ADV-M71 also inherits the distinctive half-mirror window and blue dis-
plays that feature in the M31 series, imparting a sense of presence as the core of the system.
Expandable to a 2.1- and 5.1-channel playback system
Since the ADV-M71 provides PRE OUT jacks for center, surround L/R, and powered sub woofer, listeners can enjoy powerful 2.1-channel
virtual surround sound by connecting powered sub woofer, or the system can be further expanded by adding amplifier, center and surround
speakers to create a genuine 5.1-channel surround system.
High-speed, high-performance DSP
To faithfully reproduce a wide variety of original sound signals, the ADV-M71 includes the Hammer Head SHARC from Analog Devices,
Inc., a high-speed, high-performance DSP normally featured in DENON's high-end A/V surround amps/receivers.
* D-M71DVSXP(ADV-M71 and 2.1ch speaker) will be available later.
