A/V Surround Receiver
AVR-982
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Dolby Pro Logic II with Power Amps for 6 Channels
The AVR-982 is equipped with 6 amplifiers of equal power, one for each channel, in a discrete configuration for total accuracy when reproducing sound from demanding DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, Dolby Digital, DVD-Audio, and SACD sources. The Dolby Pro Logic II feature lets you hear 2-channel stereo sources in realistic 5.1-channel surround sound. For multi-room versatility, the AVR-982's Multi Source function lets you enjoy audio, for instance, in one room while another program source is playing in the main room.

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 135 watts, into 6 ohms, from 1 kHz, with no more than 0.7 % 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-channel Pre-output for 7.1 Surround
The AVR-982 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 NEO:6. The AVR-982 also provides you with 2 PRE OUT terminals for the Surround Back channels, allowing for the ultimate home theater experience 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-982 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 24-bit fixed point DSP processor has been used in the
DSP processor, placing the AVR-982 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-982 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. With Pro Logic II, for instance, the Surround (Rear) channels are in stereo (only mono with Pro Logic) and playback covers the full frequency range (only up to 7 kHz with Pro Logic). These improvements let you enjoy a wide variety of 2-channel sources with the exciting effects of 5.1- channel surround sound. In Dolby Pro Logic II, there is a Movie mode (*1) that creates a sound space suitable for movies, a Music mode that does the same for music, and a Pro Logic emulation feature that reproduces sound effects in the way that conventional Pro Logic does.
■Dolby Digital Decoding
■5-CH/6-CH Stereo Mode
Denon's popular 5-CH/6-CH 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, or six, speakers. This 5-CH/6-CH Stereo mode was originally developed by DENON to enhance music lovers' enjoyment of home theater ambience.
