Denon AVR-2106 User manual

AVR-2106
A/V Receiver
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Dolby Digital EX with Power Amps for 7 Channels
■High-Quality Sound Reproduction
• New High Resolution 32bit Floating Point DSP
• 96 kHz Processing Circuit
• 24 bit, 192 kHz Capability High Resolution D/A Conversion
■Auto Setup and RoomEQ with Microphone
The AVR-2106 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.
■ 3 Sets of Component Video Inputs
The AVR-2106 is equipped with 3 sets of component video inputs and 1set of moni-
tor outputs (all RCA terminals).
■Fully Discrete, Equal Power 7 Amplifier Channels, 100 Watts Each
Front 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
Center 100 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
Surround 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
Surround Back 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
For optimum Dolby Digital and dts reproduction, the AVR-2106 features high quality,
wideband audio amplification, providing 90 watts power output for each of the 7 main
channels. A large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer
along with discrete power output devices on all 7 amplifier channels for highest dynamic
range and superb reproduction clarity.
■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 vibra-
tion, 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-2106 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 trans-
former.Since the rectifiers recharge the large block capacitors at
low impedance, they are ableto supply ample current to repro-
duce deep basses as well as sudden bursts of sound from
percussion or other musical instruments.
• Large Aluminum Extruded Heatsink
Denon uses a large heatsink made of extruded aluminum. It is
placed in a design that ensures mostly uniform temperatures
throughout the heatsink. This will ensures that all channels
respond with equal performance to the demands of the audio
signals.
■Dual-Channel Surround Back Power Amp for 7.1 Surround
The AVR-2106 is equipped with a total of 7 power amps including 2 for the SurroundBack
channel speaker to give you more clearly defined sound localization at the rear for 6.1-
channel surround sources such as DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, Dolby Digital
EX, and DTS-ES NEO:6.
■Assignable surround back (L/R) amplifiers for front (L/R) channel bi-amping,
or for Muti-zone playback
Amplifiers initially reserved for Surround back (L/R) channels can be asigned to bi-wire
Front (L/R) channels to improve playback quality in the front for enhanced listening
enjoyment. Or the amplifiers can be assigned to Zone 2 speakers (with multi-source),
in addition to PREOUT for Zone 2.
■Wide-Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
The power amp circuits of the AVR-2106 have been meticulously designed to repro-
duce 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 empha-
sises 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-2106 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 IIx, Dolby Digital EX and DTS surround
modes)
■On Screen Display
The AVR-2106 lets you make system settings via displays on your TV screen from the
comfort of your chair.
■Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation
The AVR-2106 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 Customisation Feature
As with all of Denon’s high-grade A/V receiver, the AVR-2106 lets you adjust speaker
configuration, delay times and other parameters so that you can customize the perfor-
mance of the AVR-2106 to suit your own home theater and enhance operating ease.
These customized features are then stored, for each source input and surround mode,
in Personal Memory Plus so constant readjustments are not required.

■Multi-Function Preset Memory Remote Controller with Glo-keys
■ DENON's Latest Surround Technology Faithfully Recreates the
Surround Sound Produced at the Dubbing Stage.
• DTS 96/24 Decoding for DVD-Video
• DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1

■5 Channel/ 7 Channel Stereo Mode
Denon's popular 7 Channel Stereo mode transforms your favourite 2-channel
sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo video sources into exciting sur-
round sound, free of delay effects and unnatural artifacts, from all 7 speakers. This 7
Channel Stereo mode was originally developed by Denon to enhance music lovers'
enjoyment with home theater ambience.
■Adjustable Cross-Over Switching
The AVR-2106 supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 8 cross-over
frequencies: 40/60/80/100/120/150/200/250Hz. This lets you more accurately match
the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the main speaker system.
