AVR-2800
NEW MODEL INFORMATION
Outstanding surround sound an affor dab le price,with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding.
Featuring the latest in Dolby Digital and DTS decoding technology, the AVR-2800 provides outstanding home theater surround
sound performance. The heart of the AVR-2800 is Denon’s Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit-Digital technology, incorporating
high performance dual DSPchips and superior A/D and D/Aconversion devices. This provides superb listening results, with virtually any
home theater or music source. Prepared for the future, the AVR-2800 features 6-Channel external input, for connection to future
multi-channel surround formats. Ahigh quality, discrete power output section provides a total system power of 425 watts RMS into
8 ohms. Full 24 bit, 96 kHz digital-to-analog D/Aconverters on all 6 channels (3 stereo pairs) provide transparent reproduction of
multi-channel music and motion picture soundtracks with outstanding dynamic range and superb low level resolution. Outstanding
surround sound an affordable price, with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding. The AVR-2800’s remote controller features an easy-touse layout where most frequently used buttons are provided in different colors and shapes for easy recognition, even while keeping
your eyes on the screen. The buttons also feature “Self-illuminated GLO-KEY” for easy operation in the dark.
Dolby Digital and DTS A/V Receiver
■Equal Power Discrete Power Amplifier
Front 85 W + 85 W(8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)
Center 85 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)
Surround85 W + 85 W(8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)
All five power amplifier channels feature discrete power output devices, and all five amplifier channels provide equal
power with lowest distortion. Each channel is rated at 85 watts,
into 8 ohms, from 20 Hz - 20 kHz, with no more than 0.05%
THD. Ahallmark of Denon A/V component design, the equal
power amplifier provides outstandingly accurate reproduction of
motion picture soundtracks and multi-channel music programs.
■DDSC-Digital (Dynamic Discrete Surround
Circuit-Digital)
Since surround signals are all processed in the digital domain,
the AVR-2800 is equipped with a newly-developed, sophisticated, high-performance dual DSPcircuit for the Dolby Digital, Dolby
Pro Logic, dts decoders, and Surround Simulator. The D/Aconverters feature high resolution designs for all the Front L/R,
Center, Surround L/R, and Subwoofer channels. This combination of DSPand D/Aconverters works to bring out the tremendous potential of Dolby Digital and dts sound. In addition, high
resolution A/D converters have been incorporated for the Dolby
Pro Logic decoder. The high sound quality of New DDSC-Digital
is due in part to the high-grade signal processing of the 24-bit,
96-kHz Digital Interface Receiver (DIR). The AVR-2800 not only
allows digital signals input from DVD and other advanced media
to pass directly to the DIR, it also processes them while preserving their integrity so that even the most delicate nuances of the
music, reflecting the emotions of the artists, are passed unfettered to the dual digital signal processors (DSP).
Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit-Digital Block Diagram
■ Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic decoding functions are performed in the digital domain for excellent dynamic range and
crystal clear reproduction.
■ DTS
Digital Theater Systems decoding provides thrilling movie and
music multi-channel surround sound.
■ 96kHz,24-bit Audio D/A Converters
■ 6-Channel External Input For Future Multi-Channel Formats
■ Separate Current Supplies for Circuits
The AVR-2800 is equipped with a main transformer featuring
independent 5-winding outputs, and a dedicated transformer for
the microprocessor, to completely separate the power amplifier,
audio, digital, video, and display circuits. This construction
reduces noise interference among the circuits and ensures a
clean, transparent sound.
■ Hefty Power Transformer for Stable Supply of Power
A power transformer has been connected in the power section where it is combined with a rectifier diode and a large block
capacitor to ensure a large, stable supply of electrical current.
Accordingly, the AVR-2800 boasts high output power of 85 W for
each of the 5 channels.
■ Stable Speaker Drive
In the AVR-2800, the circuitry through which current flows
to drive the speakers has been incorporated onto a single
board between the rectifier circuit of the power source and the
speaker terminals. Anew phase correction circuit has also
been adopted, eliminating the need for an output coil. Since
this configuration allows the power transistor to drive the
speakers directly, there is no loss of power to any of the
channels. The sound that you hear is thus extremely stable
as well as powerful.
■ Pre Outputs for System Upgrading
The pre-out terminals on the AVR-2800 is offered for Front L/R,
Center and Mono (Subwoofer) channels. Aseparate power amp
can be connected to these terminals to upgrade your system.
■ Video Select Switch
This function lets you select video sources independently of
the audio sources.
■ All-channel Level Control
■ Binding Post Speaker Terminals for All Channels
■ Icon-based On-Screen Display
The AVR-2800 provides an On-Screen Display (OSD) featuring icons (pictorial representations) to let you easily monitor
the current operating status.
■ Personal Memory Plus
The handy Personal Memory Plus function allows you to
store the surround mode, the level settings for all speakers,
as well as the delay time, to further customize the sound
source. Simply push any source button and it will instantly
display the settings stored for that source.
