Denon DRA-395 User Manual 2

The DRA-395 is a high-quality stereo receiver that combines real versatility with acclaimed DENON audio technology. The Signal
Level Divided Construction (SLDC) chassis, developed by DENON, is used in the DRA-395's audio circuit to ensure that delicate
musical signals from such advanced digital sources as DVD and CD are faithfully amplified and transmitted to the speakers. The
amp's 80W + 80W of power provides abundant support not only for two speakers in one room but for speaker systems in other
rooms as well, utilizing the DRA-395's versatile multi-room connection capabilities.

Innovative Chassis Design and Multi-room Connectivity

■

High-quality Power Amplifier

With 80 watts of power per channel (at 8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08%
THD), the DRA-395 delivers solid, reliable audio performance even
when driving both A and B speaker systems at the same time.

■

Multi Source Function*

The DRA-395's Multi Source function lets you enjoy two different programs,
simultaneously in two or more areas of your home. You can listen to a CD
or the tuner in one room, for instance, while another family member watch­es a DVD video or video tape in the other room. Dedicated multi-room
outputs, with volume level adjustment via remote control, are provided
for connection to powered speakers or an additional amplifier (sold
separately) in Zone 2 and Zone 3.

*The Main Room and Zone 4 share the same source, while the source selected in

Zone 2 is also transmitted to Zone 3.

■

Room-to-Room Remote Control with Remote IN/OUT Terminals

External remote control equipment including IR re-transmitters and IR
remote receivers, such as DENON's separately available
RC-616/617S/617W/618 IR devices, can be connected to the
DRA-395's IR remote input and output terminals. (See diagram.)

DENON also offers separately available RC-8000/8001ST radio
controlled (RF) devices that do not require any wired connections for
room-to-room remote control.

■

Convenient Remote Controller (RC-894)

The DRA-395 comes with a remote control unit containing codes that
operate other DENON components in the system.

Signal Level Divided Construction Chassis Design

The circuit handling low-level signals has been divided into separate
blocks to ensure that influences from these signals on each other are
held to an absolute minimum. This new chassis design, known as the
Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC), preserves the purity of the
signal, allowing it to be reproduced with much greater fidelity and clarity.

■

Easy Simulcast Recording

This feature not only permits reception and recording of FM/TV simulcast
programs onto videotape, but it can also be used to combine, for example,
the sound from a CD with the picture from a video disc.

• Record Out Selector

Lets you listen to one source (example: Tuner), while recording another
source (example: CD). Ideal for making unattended tape copies.

■

Video Terminals

Stereo video sources, such as hi-fi VCR, stereo TV, and DVD can all be
easily connected to the DRA-395’s VDP, VCR and Video Aux terminals.

■

Video Select Function

Allows you to select a video source, and then select an alternate audio
input source, ideal for simulcasting, as well as watching TV sports
programs while listening to radio commmentary.

■

40-Station AM/FM Random Preset Memory Tuning

■

Auto Preset Memory

FM stations can be searched by the tuner, and automatically stored in the
preset memory up to 40 stations, ideal for locales with many FM stations.

■

Sophisticated Tuning Circuit Design

Thanks to the PLL circuit design, reception drift is a thing of the past.
The DRA-395 also has a 4-pole varactor diode in its front end to guarantee
accurate input of station frequencies.

• Auto scanning of radio frequency bands

• Fast up/down manual tuning

• Manual step tuning

• Last-channel-tuned memory

■

Other Useful Features

• Bass and Treble Tone Controls

• Tone Defeat

• Muting Function via remote controller

• A/B Speaker Switching

• Last Function Memory

• Switched AC Outlets
