[. . . ] The First Name In Digital Audio A/V SURROUND RECEIVER Dolby Digital AC-3 with DTS AVR-3600dts Dolby Digital, dts and Full Discrete 550 watts Amplifiers The AVR-3600 offers Dolby Digital AC-3, Pro Logic, DTS, and Surround Simulation in the high quality DDSC-Digital (Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit-Digital) that is used in DENON's hotselling, top-of-the-market AVP-8000 A/V preamplifier, the same easy-to-follow icon-based OnScreen Display (OSD), and even the mammoth array of video, S-video, and audio input/output terminals. Dolby Digital AC-3 and Dolby Pro Logic / DTS Decoding (USA model only) / D·D·S·C-Digital (Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit - Digital) / Full Discrete 5-channel Equal Power Amplifier / Built-in AC-3 RF Demodulator / Cinema Equalizer 1 The First Name In Digital Audio DDSC-Digital (Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit-Digital) Since surround signals are all processed in the digital domain, the AVR-3600 is equipped with a newly-developed, sophisticated, high-performance DSP circuit with "Full Block Floating point" calculations for the Dolby Digital AC-3, Dolby Pro Logic decoder and Surround Simulator. [. . . ] All channels have an equal power output of 110 watts each (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, THD 0. 05%) and are configured as independent monaural amplifiers. This construction enables the AVR-3600 to produce dynamic realism through its high-current capability and to recreate a nuanced surround sound effect via superior channel separation. Powerful, Responsive Power Supply AVR-3600 incorporates three independent power transformers for each power amplifier, preamplifier and micro-processor to ensure a stable current supply for each block without mutual interference and noise. Furthermore, the transformer of the preamplifier employs separate windings for the audio amplifier, digital circuitry and video circuitry to prevent interference. Discrete Construction Chassis and Direct Signal Routing The interior of the chassis is divided to give separate compartments for the power amplifier, preamplifier, video circuit, digital circuit and power supply. This design prevents mutual interference and allows each section to perform at its full potential. Dynamic Compression Circuit This parameter is used when the listener wants to reduce the relative loudness between the soft and loud portions of the sound (dynamic range). The control of the volume range allows for better low-level listening of dynamic sound tracks like action movies. Dialog Normalization (On/Off) This circuit recognizes a "cue" in the Dolby Digital signal that "knows" the average dialog level of that program and adjusts the level of your system so that large changes in volume between programs are avoided. This feature allows all Dolby Digital sound tracks to be reproduced at the same subjective loudness without affecting their dynamic range and prevents "overpowering" the important dialog audio track. Rich Selection of Surround Modes The AVR-3600 offers as many as nine surround sound modes, which is more than enough to satisfy the needs of most home theaters. You can choose from among Dolby AC-3, the three Dolby Pro Logic modes of Normal, Wide, and Phantom, or from seven additional surround modes: 5Channel Stereo, Classic Concert, Rock Arena, Jazz Club, Super Stadium, Mono and Matrix. Cinema Equalizer This circuit makes the overly bright sounding dialog heard on some movie soundtracks easier to listen to. 2 The First Name In Digital Audio AVR-3600 Versatile Speaker Terminals 2 pairs of Front Speaker Terminals for Bi-Wiring The bi-wiring speaker terminal feature gives you high-quality performance with bi-wiring speaker systems through optimum connecting configurations. In addition, you can connect two sets of conventional speakers, one for use in the main A/V room and the other in an additional room.
