Denon DHT-683XP User Manual
The DHT-683XP, with Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic II, and a robust 110 watts per channel, is a versatile A/V receiver package
that includes 5 DENON speakers and a powerful subwoofer. Since speakers must be carefully selected to bring out the full sound
quality of the recording, DENON has made the job easier by selecting the speakers for you. With Dolby Pro Logic II, the AVR-683
recreates existing Dolby Surround programs and conventional stereo sources such as CD in realistic 5.1-channel likeness. Just add
your DVD player and you'll be ready to fire up your favorite video or music program in full surround sound.

■
Fully Discrete, Equal Power Five Amplifier Channels, 100 Watts Each
Front 110 W + 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 %)
Center 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 %)
Surround 110 W + 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 %)
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. 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.
■
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.
■
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

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:
