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-483 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.

■

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-483 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 2­channel sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo video

of home theater ambience.

■
