■Equal Power Discrete Power Amplifier
Front 85 W + 85 W(8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)
Center 85 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)
Surround85 W + 85 W(8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)
All five power amplifier channels feature discrete power out-
put devices, and all five amplifier channels provide equal
power with lowest distortion. Each channel is rated at 85 watts,
into 8 ohms, from 20 Hz - 20 kHz, with no more than 0.05%
THD. Ahallmark of Denon A/V component design, the equal
power amplifier provides outstandingly accurate reproduction of
motion picture soundtracks and multi-channel music programs.
■DDSC-Digital (Dynamic Discrete Surround
Circuit-Digital)
Since surround signals are all processed in the digital domain,
the AVR-2800 is equipped with a newly-developed, sophisticat-
ed, high-performance dual DSPcircuit for the Dolby Digital, Dolby
Pro Logic, dts decoders, and Surround Simulator. The D/Acon-
verters feature high resolution designs for all the Front L/R,
Center, Surround L/R, and Subwoofer channels. This combina-
tion of DSPand D/Aconverters works to bring out the tremen-
dous potential of Dolby Digital and dts sound. In addition, high
resolution A/D converters have been incorporated for the Dolby
Pro Logic decoder. The high sound quality of New DDSC-Digital
is due in part to the high-grade signal processing of the 24-bit,
96-kHz Digital Interface Receiver (DIR). The AVR-2800 not only
allows digital signals input from DVD and other advanced media
to pass directly to the DIR, it also processes them while preserv-
ing their integrity so that even the most delicate nuances of the
music, reflecting the emotions of the artists, are passed unfet-
tered to the dual digital signal processors (DSP).

Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit-Digital Block Diagram
Featuring the latest in Dolby Digital and DTS decoding technology, the AVR-2800 provides outstanding home theater surround
sound performance. The heart of the AVR-2800 is Denon’s Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit-Digital technology, incorporating
high performance dual DSPchips and superior A/D and D/Aconversion devices. This provides superb listening results, with virtually any
home theater or music source. Prepared for the future, the AVR-2800 features 6-Channel external input, for connection to future
multi-channel surround formats. Ahigh quality, discrete power output section provides a total system power of 425 watts RMS into
8 ohms. Full 24 bit, 96 kHz digital-to-analog D/Aconverters on all 6 channels (3 stereo pairs) provide transparent reproduction of
multi-channel music and motion picture soundtracks with outstanding dynamic range and superb low level resolution. Outstanding
surround sound an affordable price, with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding. The AVR-2800’s remote controller features an easy-to-
use layout where most frequently used buttons are provided in different colors and shapes for easy recognition, even while keeping
your eyes on the screen. The buttons also feature “Self-illuminated GLO-KEY” for easy operation in the dark.
