Denon AVR-3808CI Home Theater Receiver

Manufactured description:

Denon AVR-3808CI Home Theater Receiver offers a power output of 130 watts per channel, but adds a number of engineering advancements to get the most out of the technology. One of the most significant 7-Channel Equal Power lets you connect seven speakers independently without connecting individual power amps via pre-outs. That’s because the AVR-3808CI comes with a built-in internal amplifier for each speaker in your collection. Denon AVR-3808CI makes it possible to do things like connect a second surround back speaker directly off the main amplifier to enjoy 7.1 surround formats. The receiver’s Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit (DDSC), meanwhile, optimizes all elements of the surround processor through the use of discrete high-performance components, including separate analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, with sophisticated DSP surround decoding.

Denon AVR-3808CI Home Theater Receiver also offers a series of escalating AL24 Processing enhancements. Denon’s original AL24 Processing technology was designed to faithfully duplicate some of the delicate nuances of analog music in digital form, a technology that’s particularly effective among next-generation media with ultra-high bit and sampling rates. The results sound particularly good when music quietly fades away or starts again following silence, helping the listener detect some of the low-level details. AL24 Processing Plus upped the ante by supporting the 192 kHz sampling frequency of DVD-Audio. Denon followed with Advanced AL24 DSP and AL24 Multi Processing, which further increased the dynamic range and spatial information among high-resolution stereo PCM and multichannel sources.

Denon AVR-3808CI Home Theater Receiver also offers High-Definition-Compatible Digital (HDCD), an encoding/decoding technology that encodes with 20 bits of real musical information as compared with 16 bits for all other CDs thereby greatly reducing distortion. This creates a better dynamic range, a more-focused three-dimensional soundstage, and extremely natural vocal and musical timbres. And from a video perspective, the AVR-3808CI offers a couple of essentials: progressive scan technology, which processes approximately twice as much video data to produce a sharper, noise-free image with finer details; and DCDi video processing, which employs advanced algorithms to remove the jagged edges that appear when standard interlaced video is viewed on progressive scan displays.
