Denon AVR-3806 User manual

AVR-3806
A/V Receiver
Latest DSP technology employed in DENON's critically acclaimed
D.D.S.C-Digital circuitry for the finest in multi-channel audio performance
■ 'New DDSC-Digital,' for dramatically improved processing performance
The New DDSC (Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit)-Digital is a high-quality
surround sound reproduction circuit designed by Denon, and forms the core of the
design concept that Denon pursues for all its A/V amps: to faithfully reproduce the
original intent of content producers. Denon has succeeded in developing a fully
discrete design for the New DDSC-Digital in which high-performance ICs are
used in independent blocks to form a signal processor that reproduces surround
sound, and the discrete design ensures that all channels are endowed with identical
response and quality of sound.
■High-Quality Sound Reproduction
• New High Resolution 32bit Floating Point DSP
• 24-bit/192-kHz D/A Converter
The latest high-accuracy 24-bit/192-kHz D/A converter has been employed
for the audio DAC.
• High-performance A/D Converter
A high-performance A/D converter of 24-bit/192-kHz quality has been used
to significantly boost S/N and dynamic range.
■DENON LINK multi channel digital audio input
The AVR-3806 incorporates DENON LINK 3rd Edition,this new edition now allows
the input of uncompressed Super Audio CD digital signals as well as
DVD-Video/Audio. To transfer high resolution,multi-channel digital audio signals,
DENON has developed a unique digital transmission technology, known as DENON
LINK.This digitally balanced transfer technology permits jitter-less data
transfer and ultra-low noise.The AVR-3806 incorporates this latest digital audio
interface, so the end user will experience the absolute finest in audio playback
between the AVR-3806 and a DENON LINK featured DVD player.
■HDMI In/Out Terminals and Repeater Function
The AVR-3806 is equipped with 2 HDMI inputs, as well as 1 output, allowing the
selection of multiple digital video signals. The HDMI terminals also accepts multi-
channel digital audio input and the input signals can be output via amps.
■Video Conversion to HDMI
This video transcoding technology lets you enjoy highest picture quality from all video
gear connected to the AVR-3806.
• Composite <-> S-Video
• S-Video <-> Component
• Composite <-> Component
• Composite/S-Video/Component -> HDMI
•3 Sets of Component Video Inputs
The AVR-3806 is equipped with 3 sets of assignable, component video inputs and 2
set of monitor outputs. Component video signals can be output simultaneously via
these 2 component output terminals.
•High Definition Quality Video Switching
The high-performance selector that is used to switch component video signals, fea-
tures an extended bandwidth range up to 100 MHz.
■Auto Set-up and Room EQ featuring Audyssey MultEQ,
for overall listening area support
The AVR-3806 includes an Auto Set-up function that performs basic settings for the
speakers based on frequency response data for the speakers and the listening room
that was measured by a supplied high-performance microphone, and a Room EQ
(equalizer) function that optimizes frequency response characteristics for the listening
room. The AVR-3806 is also capable of obtaining data for up to 6 listener positions
which it analyzes using Audyssey's newly-formulated algorithms, and performs equal-
ization to match the overall listening area and create an ideal home theatre environment.
■Fully Discrete,Equal Power 7 Amplifier Channels,120 Watts Each
Front 120 W +120 W (8 ohms,20Hz -20kHz,0.05 %THD)
Center 120 W (8 ohms,20Hz -20kHz,0.05 %THD)

Surround back 120 W +120 W (8 ohms,20Hz -20kHz,0.05 %THD)
■Designed for high sound quality
• Hefty Power Transformer for Stable Supply of Power
• large-capacity Block Capacitor
• Detachable AC Power Cord
■Support for Multi Zone Configurations
The AVR-3806 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 zones, in addition to the main room. Zone 2 can have variable pre-amp
output along with a composite video/S-Video feed. And an independently selected
audio source can be output to Zone 3 with a fixed pre-amp output. The
AVR-3806's Power Amplifier Assign function lets you assign the 2 Surround Back
(SB L/R) amplifier channels when the system is not configured for 7.1, to drive the
Zone 2, or 3 speakers, with 120 Watts per channel output power, while still provid-
ing 5 discrete amplifier channels to drive all speakers in a 5.1 configured home the-
ater room. With this Power Amplifier Assign function, Front speakers can be bi-wired
to improve playback quality in the front for enhanced listening enjoyment.
