Denon AVR-5308CI Home Theater Receiver

Manufactured description:

Denon AVR5308CI Home Theater Receiver offers a power output of 150 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-5308CI comes with a built-in internal amplifier for each speaker in your collection, along with five individual transformers that supply power to each discrete circuit. The all-new circuit layouts, meanwhile, shorten the audio and video signal paths to produce the best possible picture and sound. Finally, the receiver’s Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit (DDSC) optimizes all the elements of the three 32-bit floating-point digital sound processors through the use of discrete high-performance components, including separate Burr-Brown audio digital-to-analog converters on all output channels.

Denon AVR5308CI 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 AVR5308CI Home Theater Receiver includes 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-5308CI offers several valuable essentials: progressive scan technology, which processes approximately twice as much video data to produce a sharper, noise-free image with finer details; DCDi video processing, which employs advanced algorithms to remove the jagged edges that appear when standard interlaced video is viewed on progressive scan displays; and 10-bit Realta HQV video processing, which accurately upconverts video signals up to 1080p resolution while also offering Deep Color support and multi-cadence detection.
