DENON - TERMINOLOGY.
The DENON Philosophy of Home Theatre
As an audio maker, DENON has always sought to reproduce original sound at a high dimension of satisfaction for discriminating audiophiles around the world. Home Audio represented the effort of recording engineers to faithfully reproduce the original sound in the home environment. The aim in playing movies at home is exactly the same: To recreate the original movie theater experience in the home without the interference of audio track touchups from a movie production studio. The original sound reproduction policy from the standpoint of a movie producer was first espoused by Lucasfilm Ltd., in its THX 5.1 technology. DENON unveiled its own high-quality sound technology in the S1 series of pure audio components in 1995, and in 1997, DENON released the AVP-A1 preamplifier and the POA-T3/T2 power amplifiers, the first A/V components in the world offering both Dolby Digital and THX 5.1. They received high critical acclaim, including "European Home Theater Decoder of the Year" from the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) in 1997. In the summer of 2000, DENON developed the AVC-A1SE, the first A/V amplifier in the world to support DTS-ES, the latest surround sound format. This amplifier is packed with world-renowned DENON Hi-Fi technology to give you an A/V experience is always first-class.
A/V Surround Technology
Power Stage in Fully Discrete Configuration
DENON's A/V amplifiers and receivers are endowed with power amplifiers that deliver equal power and response to all channels, ensuring utter fidelity to a wide range of high-quality sound sources, from 2-channel stereo to advanced DVD-Audio, and 5.1-channel A/V sources such as Dolby Digital and DTS. The AVC-A1SE and AVR-3802 also deliver equal power and response to ensure optimum performance from the latest 6.1-channel surround formats of Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES. The power sections of DENON's A/V amplifiers and receivers use large transformers, high capacity block capacitors, and other parts specially selected for their high-quality sonic characteristics to give you a robust yet wonderfully detailed sound.
Rigid Vibration-resistant Chassis for High-precision Playback
As in pure audio components, A/V amplifiers and receivers must be thoroughly protected against the adverse influences of both internal and external vibrations. DENON products are built with a sophisticated vibration-resistant chassis that effectively eliminates these adverse influences on sound quality. These models employ copper plating on the chassis, multi-layered structures in the top cover, chassis and sintered alloy insulators and other designs used in high-end pure audio components
DDSC-Digital, for High-quality Sound Reproduction
DDSC-Digital is a circuit configuration specially designed by DENON in which all the elements of the surround processor are optimized by the use of selected high performance discrete elements, including separate A/D and D/A conversion, with sophisticated DSP surround decoding. (AVC-A1SE / A11SR / AVR-3802)
Home THX Cinema Surround Mode (THX Post Processing)
THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’ personal desire to make your experience of the film soundtrack, in both movie theaters and in your home theater as faithful as possible to what the director intended. Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theaters with similar equipment and conditions. The soundtrack created for movie theaters is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a small home theater environment. THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theatre environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. (AVC-A1SE / A11SR)
THX Ultra
Before any home theater component can be THX Ultra certified, it must incorporate all the features above and also pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests. Only then can a product feature the THX Ultra logo, which is your guarantee that the Home Theater products you purchase will give you superb performance for
many years to come. THX Ultra requirements cover every aspect of the product including power amplifier performance, preamplifier performance and operation, as well as hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain. (AVC-A1SE / A11SR)
THX Surround EX
THX Surround EX was developed jointly by Lucasfilm THX and Dolby Laboratories, fusing Lucasfilm's idea of improving spatial expression and achieving a uniform 360 degree sound positioning with Dolby Laboratories' matrix encoding technology.
Emphasis was placed on compatibility with the existing Dolby Digital 5.1-channel, and the new "surround back (SB) channel" was added to achieve improvements over the conventional 5.1-channel system in terms of the positioning of the sound at the rear, the acoustic image of sound moving from the two sides to the back as well as sound moving from the front to the center rear with the multi surround speaker systems used in movie theaters, thereby enabling various types of surround sound. (AVC-A1SE / A11SR)
DTS-ES Extended Surround
DTS-ES is a new multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc. DTS-ES is upwardly compatible with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, while significantly expanding 360-degree localization and spatial
expression utilizing surround signals that have been further extended. Commercial use of DTS-ES was introduced in theaters in 1999. DTS-ES includes the Surround Back (SB; also known as Surround Rear) channel in addition to the existing 5.1 surround channels of FL, FR, C, SL,SR, and LFE, enabling surround playback from a total of 6.1 channels. Due to differences in surround signal recording methods, DTS-ES offers two types of signal formats: DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1
Discrete 6.1, the latest format, utilizes the digital discrete method to record all 6.1 channels, including the newly-added SB channel, as independent channels. A major feature of DTS-ES is its expressive power. Since the SL, SR, and SB channels are fully independent, sound can be freely designed and sound images can move freely and rapidly amongst each other within a background sound that envelopes the room from all sides. (AVC-A1SE / A11SR / AVR-3802 / 2802)
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1
ES Matrix processing, developed by DTS, recreates the original 6.1 channel sound field by extracting the Surround Back information from the encoded Surround Left and Surround Right channels, and is superior to generic "logic" decoding as the ES Matrix function utilizes the professional DTS-ES decoding algorithm as found in DTS-ES equipped movie theaters. (AVC-A1SE / A11SR / AVR-3802 / 2802)
DTS Neo:6 Cinema and Neo:6 Music Surround Processing
Featuring the newest DTS matrix processing technology, the DTS Neo:6 function provides up to 6.1 channel surround sound from conventional stereo sources, and can be used with virtually any 2 channel stereo source, analog or digital, such as CD, tape, FM, TV, stereo VCR, etc. Two modes are provided: Neo:6 Cinema is optimized for surround encoded stereo movie soundtracks, while Neo:6 Music mode is optimized for superior surround sound with stereo music sources. (AVC-A1SE / A11SR / AVR-3802 / 2802)
Dolby Pro Logic II
The Dolby's newly developed Pro Logic II decoder reproduces dynamic 5.1-channel surround sound from any 2-channel source: DVD, VHS and television broadcasts, radio, and CDs. Dolby Pro Logic II uses matrix decoding technology that has been
dramatically improved over Pro Logic. With Pro Logic II, for instance, the Surround (Rear) channels are in stereo (only mono with Pro Logic) and playback covers the full frequency range (only up to 7 kHz with Pro Logic). These improvements let you enjoy a wide variety of 2-channel sources with the exciting effects of 5.1- channel surround sound. (AVC-A11SR/AVR-3802/2802/1802/1602/ADV-700)
dts 96/24
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 96/24 lets you enjoy both digital output and video output from your existing DVD player. Denon's AVR-4802 A/V receiver is the first in the world to come equipped with a DTS 96/24 decoder. (AVC-A11SR),
