State-of-the-art Denon Solutions for
Maximizing Content Quality
• Robust power source for each block, for stable supply of current
To produce a clear, stable power circuit that prevents unwanted
noise from aecting the sound, the AVR-689 has a dedicated
CPU transformer that are separate from the audio and video
circuitry. The AVR-689 is endowed with a powerful rectier
circuit with 10,000F block capacitors and a bridge diode of
8A capacity, surpassing typical models in this price range, to
supply stable current with negligible noise.
• Minimum Signal Path
The "simple and straight" design concept has been thoroughly
implemented in the signal paths to contribute to immaculately
clean audio and video playback.
Signal paths are as short as possible to keep signal degradation
in the audio and video circuitry to an absolute minimum.
• Direct Mechanical Ground
Vibration-resistant construction has been reviewed to thoroughly
suppress the adverse inuences of vibration on sound quality.
The power transformers, a source of vibration, have been
securely mounted on the highly rigid bottom chassis.
Direct mounting of cast-iron feet to the radiator in near proximity
to each other serves to suppress mutual vibration with the
power transformers and other sources of vibration.
• Compressed Audio Restorer
Denon’s new audio technology for MP3/WMA/AAC
compressed audio formats restores higher frequency sounds,
along with rich, deeper bass.

• Power amplier assign for zone 2
• Remote in/out
Ease-of-Use
• Audyssey Dynamic Volume, for real-time volume adjustment
Large changes in volume sometimes occur between docu-
mentaries where the sound is mainly narrative and movies
which often contain loud sound eects. Viewers often raise
the volume for documentaries to hear the narrative more easily
but then turn it down again when a commercial with loud
sound eects comes on. They do this numerous times during
a program of this type. Audyssey Dynamic Volume constantly
monitors the sound sources and adjusts the volume to the
optimum level for the particular source being heard without
sacricing dynamic range.
The AVR-689 is also equipped with Audyssey MultEQ which
measures the acoustic characteristics of the room to obtain the
optimum acoustic eects, and Dynamic EQ which reproduces
the high and low range with the optimum acoustic eect during
low volume levels. Dynamic Volume combines these two func-
tions to achieve maximum performance.
• MultEQ Auto setup and Room EQ
-Tower type microphone for more accurate measuring
