DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Dolby Digital EX with Power Amps for 6 Channels
■
DENON's Basic Design for High-Quality Sound Reproduction
•
Power Transformer for High Power Driven
The chassis that supports the large transformer has been
designed to absorb vibration, and the transformer is housed
inside a highly rigid frame to secure it more solidly to the chassis.
In addition, a cushioning material has been placed around the
core of the transformer to minimize interference on the signal
and enable more faithful reproduction of the original sound.
The AVR-884 inherits these low-noise design from higher-end mod-
els not to mention the use of short ring.
•
Twin Drive Rectifier
DENON's Twin Drive Rectifier design uses two rectifying diodes in
parallel to bring out the maximum potential of the large transformer.
Since the rectifiers recharge the large block capacitors at low
impedance, they are able to supply ample current to reproduce
deep basses as well as sudden bursts of sound from percussion
or other musical instruments.
•
Large Aluminum Extruded Heatsink
DENON uses a large heatsink made of extruded aluminum. It is
placed in a design that ensures mostly uniform temperatures
throughout the heatsink. This will ensures that all channels
respond with equal performance to the demands of the audio
signals.
■
Fully Discrete, Equal Power Six Amplifier Channels, 125 Watts Each
Front 125 W + 125 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Center 125 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Surround 125 W + 125 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Surround Back 125 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
For optimum Dolby Digital and dts reproduction, the AVR-884 features high quality, wide-
band audio amplification, providing 125 watts power output for each of the six main
channels. A large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer
along with discrete power output devices on all six amplifier channels for highest dynamic
range and superb reproduction clarity.
■
Single-Channel Surround Back Power Amp for 6.1 Surround and
2 Speaker Terminals for 7.1 Surround
The AVR-884 is equipped with a total of 6 power amps including one for the Surround
Back channel 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-884 also provides you with 2 speaker terminals
for the Surround Back channels, allowing for the ultimate home theater experience in
amazing 7.1-channel Surround.
■
32 bit High Quality DSP
The Analog Devices “Melody 32”, a high-quality 32-bit DSP, is implemented in the DSP
processor, placing the AVR-884 at a higher performance rank than other models of this
class, in its ability to accurately decode and reproduce the superior quality of surround
sources.
■
24 bit, 96 kHz High Resolution D/A Conversion
■
Wide-Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
The power amp circuits of the AVR-884 have been meticulously designed to reproduce the
exceptionally high sound quality with wide frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz.
■
Cinema Equalizer
The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other
formats emphasizes high-frequency range due to a theater’s front speakers being
placed behind the movie screen. If this sound is reproduced in the home theater
without correction, the high-frequency range is too strong. The AVR-884 features a
Cinema Equalizer to correct these high-frequency components so that the sound is
clearer and easier to listen to. (For Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II,
Dolby Digital EX and DTS surround modes)
■
Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation
The AVR-884 includes the Personal Memory Plus function that automatically
remembers the surround mode you last used for each program source, so that you do not
need to select the mode again for that program.
■
On Screen Display
The AVR-884 lets you make system settings via diaplays on your TV screen from the
comfort of your chair.
■
Acclaimed Customization Feature
As with all of DENON’s high-grade A/V receiver, the AVR-884 lets you adjust delay
times and other parameters so that you can customize the performance of the AVR-884
to suit your own home theater and enhance operating ease. These customized features
are then stored, for each source input and surround mode, in Personal Memory Plus so
constant readjustments are not required.
■
Multi-Function Preset Memory Remote Controller with Glo-keys
The supplied system remote controller features a large selection of remote control
codes to operate other components in your home theater system, including codes for
selected DENON models, along with remote control codes from other manufacturers.
The most frequently used buttons are laid out separately for TV, VCR and DVD, for
maximum ease-of-use.
* Remote control codes may not be available for some products of other manufacturers
