AVR-3801
High Power, 7 Channels, and Full Support for DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, Matrix 6.1 and Neo:6
The AVR-3801 is a high-performance A/V surround receiver supporting DTS-ES with 180 watts of power with equal response to each of 7 channels. A 32-bit floating point DSP forms the heart of surround playback, performing high-speed processing on a level normally found in higher-end A/V components. DENON has harnessed its world-renowned audio technology to fully support DTS-ES, one of the features of which is to produce a sound that envelopes the listener and moves in all directions.
The AVR-3801 also provides a multi-zone function that lets you enjoy a different entertainment source in another room while other people are using the AVR-3801 in the main room.
This versatile, easy-to-operate A/V receiver with superior sound quality could well be the component that meets your home entertainment requirements.
2. Dolby Digital Decoding
In addition to Dolby Digital 5.1 decoding, the AVR-3801 also features a 6.1 Matrix mode, which provides 6.1 channel decoding from 6.1 channel encoded Dolby Digital sources.
3. Widescreen 7.1 Channel Playback of Conventional Sources - A DENON Original Technology
DENON's new Widescreen 7.1 function provides thrilling 7 speakers (plus sub-woofer) reproduction of conventional stereo, matrix encoded, and discrete 5.1 pro-gram sources. This proprietary Denon DSP function provides full panoramic surround presentation, utilizing the three front loudspeakers, the two surround loudspeakers, and if configured, the surround back loudspeakers. Enjoy total 360 degree surround immersion, with movie soundtracks and your favorite musical performances also.
s96 kHz, 24-bit Audio D/A Converters
s Wide-Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio or SACD
s8-Channel Input For DVD-Audio or SACD
s Surround A/B Speaker Switching
s Separate Current Supplies for Circuits
The AVR-3801 is equipped with a main transformer featuring independent 5-winding outputs, and a dedicated transformer for the microprocessor, to completely separate the power amplifier, audio, digital, and video, display circuits.
This construction reduces noise interference among the circuits and ensures a clean, transparent sound.
s Hefty Power Transformer for Stable Supply of Power
A huge power transformer has been connected in the power section where it is combined with a rectifier diode and a large block capacitor to ensure a large, stable supply of electrical current. Accordingly, the AVR-3801 boasts high output power of 180 W for each of the 7 channels.
s Support for Multi Zone Configurations
The AVR-3801 provides a Multi Zone Output function and a Select function that let you output different sources to multiple zones. Sources can be selected for output to up to 1 additional zone, in addition to the main room. Multi-room Zone can have variable pre-amp output.
The AVR-3801’s Power Amplifier Assign function lets you assign the 2 Surround Back (SB L/R) amplifier channels to instead drive the Multi-room Zone powered speaker outputs, with 180 Watts per channel power output capability, while still providing 5 full amplifier channels to drive the main and surround speakers in the home theater room.
s Easy Operation with Programmable Remote Controller
? Dot Matrix LCD (10 characters)
Since the LC Display on the remote controller is a dot matrix type, the characters are easier to read, and up to 10 characters can be displayed at any one time.? System Call
System Call function to execute up to 29 successive pre-assigned commands at the single touch of a button.
? Preset Memory (Over 100 Built-in Codes)
Since the remote controller is preprogrammed with more than 100 remote control codes, you can use the AVR-3801’s remote controller to operate not only DENON equipment but components made by other manufacturers as well. (Some components may not be supported by Preset Memory.)
