Denon AVR-683 User Manual

The AVR-683 A/V receiver with Dolby Pro Logic II and powerful output of 110 watts per channel lets you enjoy multi-channel home theater entertainment in a new dimension. In addition to Dolby Digital and DTS, you can now also enjoy existing Dolby Surround programs and conventional stereo sources such as CD in convincing 5.1-channel likeness. And if you have only two speakers, one for each stereo channel, you can use the AVR-683's Virtual Surround mode to give yourself the sensation of being completely surrounded by sound as you would in a real theater.
With Dolby Pro Logic II for a New Way To Enjoy Home Theater
Front 110 W + 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD) Center 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD) Surround 110 W + 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
For optimum Dolby Digital and DTS reproduction, the AVR-683 features high quality, wideband audio amplification, providing 110 watts power output for each of the five main channels. A large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer along with discrete power output devices on all five amplifier channels for highest dynamic range and superb reproduction clarity.
Dolby Pro Logic II Decoder
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.
Dolby Digital and DTS Decoders
Equipped with both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 channel decoding, the AVR-683 provides thrilling surround sound with the thousands of Dolby Digital and DTS encoded DVDs, as well as the growing library of DTS
5.1 channel music recordings available on CD.
High-quality DSP
A high-quality 32-bit DSP “MELODY32” from Analog Devices has been used in the DSP processor, placing the AVR-683 at a higher rank than other models of this class in its ability to accurately decode and reproduce the superior quality of Dolby Pro Logic II.
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-683 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, and DTS surround modes)
5 Channel Stereo Mode
DENON's popular 5 Channel Stereo mode transforms your favorite 2-channel sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo video sources into exciting surround sound, free of delay effects and unnatural artifacts, from all five speakers. This 5 Channel Stereo mode was originally developed by DENON to enhance music lovers' enjoyment of home theater ambience.
Virtual Surround Mode
Surround yourself with sensational 3D soundfield envelopment using just one pair of speakers. The AVR-683's Virtual Surround mode provides a dramatic psychoacoustic surround sound effect, using two speakers with Dolby Digital 5.1 encoded sources.
DENON DSP Surround Modes Add Listening Excitement
Put yourself in the middle of your favorite concert hall and music environments with DENON's DSP acoustic environment simulation modes. These DSP modes add spacious surround sound enhancements to your favorite music and video sources, and include these distinctly different sounding effects:
1. 5 Channel Stereo 5. Video Game
2. Virtual Surround 6. Matrix
3. Rock Arena 7. Mono Movie
4. Jazz Club
