[] FEATURES
1. Digital Surround Sound Decoding
Featuring 32 bit high speed DSP, operating entirely
in digital domain, surround sound from digital
sources such as DVD, LD, DTV and satellite are
faithfully re-created
2. Doiby Pro Logic I! decoder
Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing
multichannel audio signals that offers
improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic¸
It can be used to decode not only sources
recorded in Dolby Surround but also regular stereo
sources into five channels (front left/right, center
and surround left/right) In addition, various
parameters can be set according to the type of
source and the contents, so you can adiust the
sound field with greater precision¸
3. Dolby Digital
Using advanced digital processing algorithms,
Dolby Digital provides up to 51 channels of wide_
range, high fidelity surround sound¸ Dolby Digital
is the default digital audio delivery system for
North American DVD and DTV
4. DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
DTS provides up to 51 channels of wide-range,
high fidelity surround sound, from sources such as
laseE disc, DVD and specially_encoded music
discs¸
5. DTS-ES Extended Surround and DTS Neo:6
The AVR_802 is compatible with DTS_ES Extended
Surround, a new multFchannel format developed by
Digital Theater Systems Inc
The AVR-3802 is also compatible with DTS Neo:6, a
surround mode allowing 61-channel playback of
regular stereo sources
6. Wide screen mode for a ?.l-channel sound
even with
5.1-channel sources
DENON has developed a wide screen mode with
a new design which recreates the effects of the
multi surround speakers in movie theaters¸ The
result is 71 _channel sound taking full advantage of
surround back speakers, even with Dolby Pro
Logic or Dolby Digital/DTS 5 l_channel signals¸
?. 24 bit D/A Conversion
All six channels, including the five main channels
and the low frequency effects (LFE) channel
benefit from reference, for optimum high fidelity
reproduction of music and movie soundtracks
8. Dual Surround Speaker Mode
Provides for the first time the ability to optimize
surround sound reproduction using two different
types of surround sound speakers as well as two
different surround speaker positions:
4
(1) Movie Surround
Motion picture soundtracks use the surround
channel{sl to provide the ambient elements of
the acoustic environment they want the
audience to realize This is best accomplished
by the use of specially-designed surround
speakers that offeE a wide diffusion pattem
(bipolar dispersion) or by using surround
speakers that provide broad dispers on with a
mmEmum of on-axis localization (dipolar
dispersion) Side wall mounting (closer to the
ceiling) of the surround speakers provides the
greatest envelopment, minimizing Iocalizat on
of drect sound from the speakers
(2) Music Surround
With full range discrete surround cpannels, as
well as three discrete full range front channels,
digtal formats such as Do]by and DTS offer
thrilling surround sound music listening
Producers of mulLFchannel discrete dgital
music recordings almost always favor the use
of direct radiating (monopolar) surround
speakersr placed in the rear corners of the
room, snce that is how they configure their
studios during the mixing/creation process
The DENON AVR-3802 provides the ability to
connect two different sets of surround
speakers, and place them in the appropriate
locations in your AV theater room, so that you
can enjoy both movie soundtracks and music
listening, with optimum results and no
compromise
9. Component Video Switching
In addilion to composite video and "S r' video
swtching, the AVR_3802 provides 2 sets of
component video (Y, PB/C8, PR/CR) inputs for the
DVD and TV/DBS inputs, and one set of
component video outputs to the television, for
superior picture quality
10. Video Select Function
Allow you to watch one source (visual) while
listening to another source (audio)
11. Future Sound Format Upgrade Capability via
Eight ChanneI Inputs & Outputs
For future multi-chan_el audio format{sl, the AVR_
3802 is provided with 71 cham_el {seven main
channels, plus one low frequency effects channel)
inputs, along with a full set of 71 channel pre-amp
outpUtSr controlled by the 8 channel master
volume control This assures future upgrade
possibilites for any future mult-channel sound
format
[] CONNECTIONS
• Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections
have been completed
• Be sure to connect the left and right channels
properly (left with left, right with right)
• Insert the plugs securely Incomplete connect ons
win result in the generation of noise
• Use the AC OUTLET for audio equipment only,
Do not use them for hair driers, etc.
• Note that binding pin plug cords together with AC
cords or placing them near a power transformer
will result in generating hum or other noise
• Noise or humming may be generated if a
connected audio equipment is used independently
without turning the power of this unit on If this
happens, turn on the power of the this unit
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components
The power to this outlet is turned on and off when the power is switched between on and standby from the
remote control unit or power switch
