State-of-the-art Denon Solutions for
Maximizing Content Quality
• High-bit I/P Converter and Scaler up to 1080p
The AVR-890 features state-of-the-art Anchor Bay
Technologies ABT-2010 VRS precision 12-bit video
deinterlacing and upconversion that processes SD sources
such as DVD and converts them to HD (high definition)
quality for improved sharpness and clarity. Now you can enjoy
not only your DVDs but also your VCR tapes and standard
definition (480i/480p) games with much greater clarity and
detail. And, the ABT VRS technology includes both SD as well
as HD digital video noise reduction to mimimize compression
artifacts with noisy video sources.
• Analog to HDMI up-conversion, I/P converter
and scaler on HDMI to HDMI
Analog video input signals (composite, S-video, component) are
converted to digital video signals and transmitted to the HDMI
output port. Digital video signals are sent to the HDMI output
even when multiple HDMI devices such as a video camera or a
game console are connected to the AVR-890. One HDMI cable is all
that’s needed to connect the AVR-890 to a TV (monitor).
• Dolby Pro Logic IIz processing
Dolby Pro Logic IIz introduces a new dimension to home theater
entertainment through the addition of a pair of front height
channels. Compatible with stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 content, Dolby
Pro Logic IIz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth and
dimension to movies, concert video and video game playback
while maintaining the full integrity of the source mix.
• Minimum Signal Path forclear audio and videosignal
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 Construction, embodying
concepts for thorough vibration resistance
Vibration-resistant construction has been reviewed to thoroughly
suppress the adverse influences 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.
• Digital / analog separate transformer windings
• Compressed Audio Restorer to enhance
digital music les
Connectivity & Future-ready Expandability
• Power Amp Assign function, for versatility in
using the AVR-890 for dierent purposes
The AVR-890 supports up to 7.1 channels (FL/ FR/ C/ SL/ SR/
SBL/ SBR/ SW) for surround playback dened by the Blu-ray disc
format. To enjoy surround playback with the AVR-890’s Dolby
Pro Logic IIz, you can reassign the power amp from the two
surround back channels (SBL/SBR) to the two front height
channels (FLH/FRH). Or by assigning the SBL/SBR power amp to
Zone 2, you can enjoy multi-room audio playback, or to achieve
higher-quality sound for 2-channel stereo playback, you can
congure the AVR-890 for front bi-amp operation. These are just
some of the ways you can arrange the AVR-890’s amps to suit
various listening styles.
• Audio/video playback and control for iPod® with
optional dock (ASD-11R/3N/3W)
Ease-of-use
•On-Board GUI via HDMI output
The AVR-890 is equipped with an easy-to-view Graphical User
Interface (GUI) featuring visual menu displays. These menu
displays can also be output to the monitor over HDMI.
• Audyssey Dynamic Volume, for real-time volume adjustment
Audyssey Dynamic Volume constantly monitors the sound
sources and adjusts the volume to the optimum level for the
particular source being heard without sacrificing dynamic
range. The AVR-890 is also equipped with Audyssey MultEQ
which measures the acoustic characteristics of the room to
obtain the optimum acoustic effects, and Dynamic EQ which
reproduces the high and low range with the optimum acoustic
effect during low volume levels. Dynamic Volume combines
these two functions to achieve maximum performance.
• MultEQ Auto setup and Room EQ room acoustic
correction system
-Tower type microphone for more accurate measuring
-Up to six measurement points
- High level resolution lters for satellite speakers and also subwoofer
• Auto surround mode
• Audio Delay function (max. 6 frames or 200 mSec)
• Muting level settings (Full/-40dB/-20dB)
• Audio level memory, capable of correcting dif-
ferent signal levels for each input device
• Variable subwoofer crossover switching
