Denon AVR 3803 AV receiver

High-end home theater savvy, beefy 7-channel power, and impeccable construction meet in Denon's remarkable AVR-3803. The sound is powerful, pristine, and totally enveloping, thanks to 110 watts x 7 channels of Denon's high-current amplification. An advanced 32-bit SHARC processor drives a wealth of surround options, including Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, DTS Neo: 6 and Dolby Pro Logic II. You also get decoding for DTS 96/24 discs - this new format enables video DVDs to deliver 5.1 soundtracks in the same 96kHz/24-bit resolution that multi-channel DVD-Audio uses. And Denon's exclusive Wide screen 7.1 mode lets you turn any stereo or surround source into thrilling 7.1 audio! Bringing high-end A/V performance into a real world price range has always been a Denon specialty, but they've outdone themselves with the AVR-3803. This receiver boasts 16 Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit DACs in differential configuration, for incredible precision from all your digital sources. And in the convenience department, Denon's video conversion lets you send a variety of video sources to your main TV via a single S-video or component video connection. Another high-end bonus: Denon's renowned AL 24 (ALPHA 24) processing, which employs sophisticated interpolation to produce analog smoothness from 16- to 24-bit stereo digital audio. For the cleanest possible stereo sound, Pure Direct mode shuts off power to the video circuitry and front-panel display. With analog sources, Pure Direct also shuts off the digital circuitry, too. This versatile receiver also offers two dual-room/dual-source A/V options - use the preamp outs with another receiver, powered speakers, or a TV in your second room, or step to 5.1 sound in your main listening room and let the AVR-3803 power a pair of stereo speakers in the second room. The learning/multi-brand remote features an LCD and programmable macros for advanced system control. The AVR-3803's heavy-duty construction includes an anti-resonant chassis, a massive power supply, and large capacitors. Denon's DDSC-Digital configuration treats your audio to a series of single-function circuit blocks. With D/A conversion, A/D conversion, surround decoding, and other DSP each handled by its own dedicated block, every function is optimized, and so is your sound!
