Denon AVR-882 User manual

In addition to Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic II and powerful output of 115 watts per channel, the versatile AVR-882 A/V
receiver gives you 1 set of video, audio, and digital optical input terminals on the front panel where you can conveniently
connect your home video camera. Dolby Pro Logic II lets you enjoy existing Dolby Surround programs and conventional stereo
sources such as CD or your home video sound track in the exciting ambience of 5.1 channels. The AVR-882 also
provides a Virtual Surround mode that recreates the sensation of surround sound if your system has only two front speakers.
With Dolby Pro Logic II for a New Way To Enjoy Home Theater
■Fully Discrete, Equal Power Five Amplifier Channels, 115 Watts Each
Front 115 W + 115 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Center 115 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Surround 115 W + 115 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
For optimum Dolby Digital and DTS reproduction, the AVR-882 features
high quality, wideband audio amplification, providing 115 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 out-
put devices on all five amplifier channels for highest dynamic range and
superb reproduction clarity.
■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 dramatically improved over Pro
Logic. With Pro Logic II, for instance, the Surround (Rear) channels are
in stereo (only mono with Pro Logic) and playback covers the full frequency
range (only up to 7 kHz with Pro Logic). These improvements let you
enjoy a wide variety of 2-channel sources with the exciting effects of 5.1-
channel surround sound.
■Dolby Digital and DTS Decoders
Equipped with both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 channel decoding, the
AVR-882 provides thrilling surround sound with the thousands of Dolby
Digital and DTS encoded DVDs, as well as the growing library of DTS
5.1 channel music recordings available on CD.
■96 kHz, 24-bit Audio D/A Converters
■Wide-Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio or SACD
■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-882 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)
■5 Channel Stereo Mode
DENON's popular 5 Channel Stereo mode transforms your favorite
2-channel sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo video
sources into exciting surround sound, free of delay effects and
unnatural artifacts, from all five speakers. This 5 Channel Stereo
mode was originally developed by DENON to enhance music lovers'
enjoyment of home theater ambience.
■Virtual Surround Mode
Surround yourself with sensational 3D soundfield envelopment using
just one pair of speakers. The AVR-882's Virtual Surround mode
provides a dramatic psychoacoustic surround sound effect, using two
speakers with Dolby Digital 5.1 encoded sources.
■DENON DSP Surround Modes Add Listening Excitement
Put yourself in the middle of your favorite concert hall and music
environments with DENON's DSP acoustic environment simulation
modes. These DSP modes add spacious surround sound enhancements
to your favorite music and video sources, and include these distinctly
different sounding effects:
1. 5 Channel Stereo 5. Video Game
2. Virtual Surround 6. Matrix
3. Rock Arena 7. Mono Movie
4. Jazz Club
