Dolby Digital EX / DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 with 7ch Power Amps and Multi-room Flexibility■ Fully Discrete, Equal Power Seven Amplifier Channels, 90 Watts EachFront ..................... 90 W + 90 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)Center................... 90 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)Surround............... 90 W + 90 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)Surround Back ..... 90 W + 90 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)The AVR-983 features an equal power 7-channel amplifier section, withidentical amplifier design on all 7 channels, with high current discrete outputdevices on all channels. Each of the 7 amplifier channels is rated at 90watts, into 8 ohms, from 20 Hz - 20 kHz with no more than 0.05% THD.■ DENON's Latest Surround Technology Faithfully Recreates theSurround Sound Produced at the Dubbing Stage.• DTS 96/24 5.1 Decoding for DVD-VideoHigh-quality 96-kHz, 24-bit (96/24) sound playback from ordinary DVD-Video recordings is limited to only two channels and there are also limita-tions on the picture. DVD-Video recorded in DTS 96/24, however, allowshigh-quality 5.1-channel sound playback in full-quality, full-motion video.• DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1The AVR-983 is equipped with a DTS-ES decoder that supports Discrete6.1 and Matrix 6.1. Discrete 6.1 faithfully reproduces program sourcesoriginally recorded in 6.1-channel sound, and Matrix 6.1 performs matrixprocessing on the Surround and Left Surround signals and brings out RightSurround Back channels.• DTS NEO:6DTS NEO:6 lets you enjoy 2-channel analog, PCM, and Dolby Digital 2-channel sources in full 6.1-channel surround sound.• Dolby Digital EXDolby Digital EX, a 6-channel surround format proposed by DolbyLaboratories, was jointly developed by Dolby Laboratories and LucasFilmLtd. to bring the dynamic wealth of Dolby Digital Surround EX into thehome. The warm playback of 6.1 channels which include surround backchannels enables easy positioning of sound images directly behind the lis-tener, dramatically improving the spatial expressiveness of the surroundfield.• Dolby Pro Logic IIWith the AVR-983, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II to do more than justenjoy your 2-channel analog, PCM, and Dolby Digital 2-channel sources insurround sound ambiance.• Auto SurroundThe AVR-983 can automatically store the surround mode for any of fourinput signals: (1) Analog and PCM 2 channel, (2) Bit stream 2-channel(Dolby Digital, DTS) and (3) Bit stream multi-channel. If the type of inputsignal changes, the most appropriate surround mode is automaticallyselected for the signal.■ High-quality 100MHz Bandwidth Component Video SwitchingThe AVR-983's Component Video terminals allow you to connect, andswitch, up to 2 sources utilizing these high resolution video outputs. Ahigh-performance relay with a 100MHz bandwidth is utilized to switch sig-nals with no signal loss or degradation, making it most compatible withHDTV and Progressive Scan DVD sources. These terminals can be espe-cially useful if your display device has only one set of Component Videoinputs.■ High Power Custom TransistorWhen temperatures rise or fall inside the unit, bias cur-rent values supplied to the power transistor tend tofluctuate, causing sound quality to deteriorate. Thehigh power custom transistor used in the AVR-983ensures that the bias current is constantly uniform sothat the sound you hear is of consistently stable,high quality.■ Finest DSP employed for faster processing andhigher sound quality• 32-bit Floating Point DSPHammerhead Sharc, the latest DSP from AnalogDevices, is used for the decoder to further boostdigital signal processing capability and also providingthe highest dynamic range. Faster processing speedresults in more complete surround decoding.■ 7-CH Stereo ModeDenon's popular 5-CH/7-CH Stereo mode transforms your favorite 2-channel sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo videosources into exciting surround sound, free of delay effects and unnaturalartifacts, from all speakers. This 5-CH/7-CH Stereo mode was originallydeveloped by DENON to enhance music lovers' enjoyment in home the-ater ambience.AVR-983A/V Surround ReceiverN E W M O D E L I N F O R M A T I O NDolby Digital EX and dts 96/24 have been added to offer full support for all encoded surround formats through the use of the new Analog DevicesHammerhead Sharc DSP processor.TENTATIVE
