Fully Discrete, Equal Power Seven Amplifier Channels, 110 Watts Each

Front 110 W + 110 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05 % THD)

Center 110 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05 % THD)

Surround 110 W + 110 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05 % THD)

Surround back 110 W + 110 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05 % THD)

The AVR-3803 features an equal power 7-channel amplifier section, with identical

amplifier design on all 7 channels, with high current discrete output devices on all

channels. Each of the 7 amplifier channels is rated at 110 watts, into 8 ohms,

from 20 Hz - 20 kHz with no more than 0.05% THD.

Finest DSP employed for faster processing in the D.D.S.C-Digital circuitry

and higher sound quality

• Melody 100 DSP

Melody 100, the latest DSP from Analog Devices, is used for the decoder to

further boost digital signal processing capability and also providing the highest

dynamic range. Faster processing speed results in more complete surround

decoding.

• 24-bit, 192-kHz All-channels D/A Conversion

For optimum fidelity and transparency, the AVR-3803 features the Burr-Brown

PCM-1791 high resolution 24-bit, 192 kHz DACs, in an eight channel.

• 24-bit, 192-kHz Digital Interface Receiver

The AVR-3803 includes a Digital Interface Receiver (DIR) that distinguishes various

types of digital input signals, including 24/192 and 24/96 stereo PCM signals, performs

the appropriate signal processing, and transmits the information to the DSP block.

• 24-bit, 192-kHz A/D Conversion

The AVR-3803 is capable of 24-bit, 192-kHz A/D conversion, improving S/N and

dynamic range by approximately 10 dB.

DENON's Latest Surround Technology Faithfully Recreates the Surround

Sound Produced at the Dubbing Stage.

• DTS 96/24 5.1 Decoding for DVD-Video

High-quality 96-kHz, 24-bit (96/24) sound playback from ordinary DVD-Video

recordings is limited to only two channels and there are also limitations on the

picture. DVD-Video recorded in DTS 96/24, however, allows high-quality

5.1-channel sound playback in full-quality, full-motion video.

• DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1

The AVR-3803 is equipped with a DTS-ES decoder that supports Discrete 6.1

and Matrix 6.1. Discrete 6.1 faithfully reproduces program sources originally

recorded in 6.1-channel sound, and Matrix 6.1 performs matrix processing on the

Left Surround and Right Surround signals and brings out Back Surround channels.

• DTS NEO:6

DTS NEO:6 lets you enjoy 2-channel analog, PCM, and Dolby Digital

2-channel sources in full 6.1-channel surround sound.

• Dolby Digital EX

Dolby Digital EX, a 6-channel surround format proposed by Dolby

Laboratories, was jointly developed by Dolby Laboratories and LucasFilm

Ltd. to bring the dynamic wealth of Dolby Digital Surround EX into the

home. The warm playback of 6.1 channels which include surround back

channels enables easy positioning of sound images directly behind the

listener, dramatically improving the spatial expressiveness of the

surround field.

• Dolby Pro Logic II

With the AVR-3803, you can use Dolby Pro Logic II to do more than just

enjoy your 2-channel analog, PCM, and Dolby Digital 2-channel sources in

surround sound ambiance.

• Auto Surround

The AVR-3803 can automatically store the surround mode for any of four input

signals: (1) Analog and PCM 2 channel, (2) Bit stream 2-channel (Dolby Digital,

DTS) and (3) Bit stream multi-channel. If the type of input signal changes, the

most appropriate surround mode is automatically selected for the signal.

Component Video Conversion, the first time in this class

• High-grade Up Conversion

The AVR-3803 is the first model in the mid price range to include the Video Up

Conversion feature that converts video signals to component signals,

letting you

enjoy high picture quality from all video gear connected to the AVR-3803.

Since

composite and S-video signals are also converted into component video signals

and output to the monitor, all you need to do is connect a monitor that can display

component video images.

• Broad frequency range up to 100 MHz

The AVR-3803 is equipped with 2 sets of component inputs and 1 set of monitor

outputs (all RCA terminals). A high-performance relay is used to switch signals,

and a high frequency range up to 100 MHz is supported.

A/V Surround Receiver

NEW MODEL INFORMATION

Dolby Digital EX / DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 with 7ch Power Amps and Multi-room Flexibility

Dolby Digital EX and dts 96/24 have been added to offer full support for all encoded surround formats,Å@and the D.D.S.C has been vastly improved through the

use of the new Analog Devices Melody 100 DSP processor. The AVR-3803 is the first receiver in its class to offer component video conversion for increased flexi-

bility and ease of installation.
