DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Dolby Digital EX with Power Amps for 6 Channels
■
Fully Discrete, Equal Power Six Amplifier Channels
Front ................... 80 W + 80 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.08% THD)
Center................. 80 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.08% THD)
Surround............. 80 W + 80 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.08% THD)
Surround Back.... 80 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.08% THD)
All six power amplifier channels feature discrete power output
devices, and all six amplifier channels provide equal power with lowest
distortion. Each channel is rated at 80 watts, into 8 ohms, from 20 Hz
- 20 kHz, with no more than 0.08% THD. A hallmark of Denon A/V
component design, the equal power amplifier provides outstandingly
accurate reproduction of motion picture soundtracks and multi-channel
music programs.

Single-Channel Surround Back Power AMP for 6.1 Surround
and 2 Speaker Terminals for 7.1 Surround
The AVR-1803 is equipped with a total of 6 power amps including one
for the Surround Back speaker to give you more clearly defined sound
localization at the rear for 6.1-channel surround sources such as DTS-ES
Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, Dolby Digital EX, and DTS-ES NEO:6.
The AVR-1803 also provides you with 2 speaker terminals for the
Surround Back channels, allowing for the ultimate home theater experi-
ence in amazing 7.1-channel Surround, when a second power amplifier
is added.
■
High Power Custom Transistor
When temperatures rise or fall inside the unit, bias current values supplied
to the power transistor tend to fluctuate, causing sound quality to
deteriorate. The high power custom transistor used in the AVR-1803
ensures that the bias current is constantly uniform so that the sound
you hear is of consistently stable, high quality.
■
High-quality DSP
A high-quality 32-bit DSP “MELODY32” from Analog Devices
processor has been used in the DSP processor, placing the
AVR-1803 at a higher rank than other models of this class in its ability
to accurately decode and reproduce the superior quality of DTS-ES
Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS NEO:6, Dolby Digital EX and
Dolby Pro Logic II.
■
Featuring DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 Decoding
The AVR-1803 is equipped with the DTS-ES (true discrete) 6.1 decoder,
developed by DTS to provide dramatically improved surround sound
panoramic reproduction and superior surround sound localization.
■
Supports DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 Decoding
■
Supports DTS NEO:6 Surround Decoding
■
Featuring Dolby Pro Logic II Decoding
Enjoy 2-channel stereo recordings in stunning 5.1-channel surround playback.
The Dolby Pro Logic II decoder reproduces dynamic 5.1-channel surround
sound not only from normal 5.1-channel DVD but from 2-channel
sources such as videos and CDs, too. Dolby Pro Logic II uses matrix
decoding technology that has been dramatically improved over Pro
Logic.
■
High-quality Component Video In/Out Terminals
The AVR-1803's Component Video terminals allow you to connect,
and switch, up to 2 sources utilizing these high resolution video out-
puts. These terminals are especially useful if your display device has
only one set of Component Video inputs.
