State-of-the-art Denon Solutions for
Maximizing Content Quality
• Robust power source for each block, for stable supply of current
To produce a clear, stable power circuit that prevents unwanted
noise from a ecting the sound, the AVR-889 has dedicated
CPU and Standby transformers that are separate from the
audio and video circuitry. The AVR-889 is endowed with a
powerful recti er circuit with 12,000F block capacitors and a
bridge diode of 8A capacity, surpassing typical models in this
price range, to supply stable current with negligible noise.
• Minimum Signal Path
The "simple and straight" design concept has been thoroughly
implemented in the signal paths to contribute to immaculately
clean audio and video playback.
Signal paths are as short as possible to keep signal degrada-
tion in the audio and video circuitry to an absolute minimum.
• Direct Mechanical Ground
Vibration-resistant construction has been reviewed to thor-
oughly suppress the adverse in uences of vibration on sound
quality. The power transformers, a source of vibration, have
been securely mounted on the highly rigid bottom chassis.
Direct mounting of cast-iron feet to the radiator in near prox-
imity to each other serves to suppress mutual vibration with
the power transformers and other sources of vibration.
• Compressed Audio Restorer
Denon’s new audio technology for MP3/WMA/AAC
compressed audio formats restores higher frequency sounds,
along with rich, deeper bass.

Ease-of-Use
• Audyssey Dynamic Volume, for real-time volume adjustment
Large changes in volume sometimes occur between docu-
mentaries where the sound is mainly narrative and movies
which often contain loud sound e ects. Viewers often raise
the volume for documentaries to hear the narrative more easily
but then turn it down again when a commercial with loud
sound e ects comes on. They do this numerous times during
a program of this type. Audyssey Dynamic Volume constantly
monitors the sound sources and adjusts the volume to the
optimum level for the particular source being heard without
sacri cing dynamic range.
The AVR-889 is also equipped with Audyssey MultEQ which
measures the acoustic characteristics of the room to obtain
the optimum acoustic e ects, and Dynamic EQ which
reproduces the high and low range with the optimum acoustic
e ect during low volume levels. Dynamic Volume combines
these two functions to achieve maximum performance.
• Audyssey MultEQ Auto setup and Room EQ
