User manual DENON AVR-3808

[. . . ] Faster processing speed results in more complete surround decoding. · 24-bit, 192-kHz All-channels D/A Conversion For optimum fidelity and transparency, the AVR-3808 features the Burr-Brown PCM-1791 high resolution 24-bit, 192 kHz DACs, in an eight channel. · 24-bit, 192-kHz Digital Interface Receiver The AVR-3808 includes a Digital Interface Receiver (DIR) that distinguishes various types of digital input signals, including 24/192 and 24/96 stereo PCM signals, performs the appropriate signal processing, and transmits the information to the DSP block. · 24-bit, 192-kHz A/D Conversion The AVR-3808 is capable of 24-bit, 192-kHz A/D conversion, improving S/N and dynamic range by approximately 10 dB. [. . . ] Discrete 6. 1 faithfully reproduces program sources originally recorded in 6. 1-channel sound, and Matrix 6. 1 performs matrix processing on the Left Surround and Right Surround signals and brings out Back Surround channels. NEW MODEL INFORMATION AVR-3808 Pure Direct mode which is equipped with AL24 processing, to enjoy purely stereo music with high sound quality The Pure Direct mode lets you use the AVR-3808 as a high sound quality stereo amplifier. A simple key operation on the main unit to select Pure Direct automatically turns off power to the video circuitry and the fluorescent lights also go off to thoroughly minimize adverse influences from these circuits on the audio circuit. During analog audio input, power to the digital circuitry is also turned off. Furthermore, Denon's AL24 processor for high sound quality has been added to the front 2 channels during digital audio input, enabling the playback of sound with remarkably high transparency. Designed for high sound quality · Hefty Power Transformer for Stable Supply of Power A huge power transformer has been connected in the power section where it is combined with a rectifier diode and a large block capacitor to ensure a large, stable supply of electrical current. Accordingly, the AVR-3808 boasts high output power of 110 W for each of the 7 channels. · Newly-developed block capacitor A new, large-capacity block capacitor was developed for the AVR-3808 to ensure a rock stable supply of power. Newly redesigned pre-programmed remote controller with learning feature The AVR-3808 comes with a newly-developed remote controller with the most frequently used keys layed out in the center and an easy-to-grip shape and size. It also has a small liquid crystal display that lets you quickly identify which devices you are controlling at a glance. - Preset Memory - Learning functions - System Call - All keys backlit - Supports independent Power On and Off commands Support for Multi Zone Configurations · The AVR-3808 provides a Multi Zone Output function and a Select function that let you output different sources to multiple zones. Sources can be selected for output to an additional zone, in addition to the main room. Multi-room Zone 2 can have variable pre-amp output along with composite video feed.
