■DENON's Basic Design for High-Quality Sound Reproduction
• Power Transformer for High Power Driven
The chassis that supports the large transformer has
been designed to absorb vibration, and the transformer
is housed inside a highly rigid frame to secure it more
solidly to the chassis. In addition, a cushioning material
has been placed around the core of the transformer to
minimize interference on the signal and enable more
faithful reproduction of the original sound. The AVR-484
inherits these low-noise design from higher-end models
not to mention the use of short ring.
• Twin Drive Rectifier
DENON's Twin Drive Rectifier design uses two rectifying diodes in parallel to bring
out the maximum potential of the large transformer. Since the rectifiers recharge
the large block capacitors at low impedance, they are able to supply ample cur-
rent to reproduce deep basses as well as sudden bursts of sound from percussion
or other musical instruments.
• Large Aluminum Extruded Heatsink
DENON uses large heatsink made of extruded aluminum.
It has been placed in a design that ensures mostly uni-
form temperatures throughout the heatsink. This in turn
ensures that all channels respond with equal perfor-
mance to the demands of the audio signals.
■Fully Discrete, Equal Power Five Amplifier Channels, 110 Watts Each
Front 110 W + 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Center 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Surround 110 W + 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
For optimum Dolby Digital and DTS reproduction, the AVR-484 features high quality,
wideband audio amplification, providing 110 watts power
output for each of the five main channels. A large capacity power supply includes a
high current power transformer along with discrete power
output devices on all five amplifier channels for the highest dynamic range and
superb reproduction clarity.
■24 bit High Resolution DSP
■24 bit, 96 kHz High Resolution D/A Conversion
■Wide-Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
The power amp circuits of the AVR-484 have been meticulously designed to reproduce
the exceptionally high sound quality with wide frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz.
■Cinema Equalizer
The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other formats
emphasizes high-frequency range due to a theater’s front speakers being placed
behind the movie screen. If this sound is reproduced in the home theater without
correction, the high-frequency range is too strong. The AVR-484 features a
Cinema Equalizer to correct these high-frequency components so that the sound
is clearer and easier to listen to. (For Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, and DTS
surround modes)
■Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation
The AVR-484 includes the Personal Memory Plus function that
automatically remembers the surround mode you last used for each
program source, so that you do not need to select the mode again for that program.
■Acclaimed Customization Feature
As with all of DENON’s high-grade A/V receiver, the AVR-484 lets you adjust
delay times and other parameters so that you can customize the
performance of the AVR-484 to suit your own home theater and enhance operat-
ing ease. The adjustments are easy to make via a dialog format on the fluorescent
display on the front panel. These customized features are then stored, for each
source input and surround mode, in Personal Memory Plus so constant readjust-
ments are not required.
■Multi-Function Preset Memory Remote Controller with Glo-keys
The supplied system remote controller features a large selection of remote con-
trol codes to operate other components in your home theater system, including
codes for selected DENON models, along with remote control codes from other
manufacturers. The most frequently used buttons are laid out separately for TV,
VCR and DVD, for maximum ease-of-use.
* Remote control codes may not be available for some products of other manufacturers.
■Dolby Pro Logic II Decoder
Enjoy 2-channel stereo recordings in stunning 5.1-channel surround playback.The
Dolby Pro Logic II decoder reproduces dynamic 5.1-channel surround sound not only
from normal 5.1-channel DVD but from 2-channel sources such as videos and
CDs, too. Dolby Pro Logic II uses matrix decoding technology that has been dra-
matically improved over Pro Logic.
