Denon AVR-1100 - Manual (Page 2)

The AVR-1100 offers full discrete 5-channel power amplifier to support the dynamic performance of the Dolby Digital AC-3
sound signal from DVD. All channels have equal power output---55 watts per channel and are configured as independent
monaural amplifiers. This construction enables these models to produce a dynamic realism through their high-current capa-
bility and to recreate a nuanced surround sound effect via superior channel separation.
Full Discrete 5-channel Equal Power Amplifier
The AVR-1100 is equipped with a 6-ch external decoder input. You can connect an external Dolby Digital AC-3
decoder, or a DVD player which already includes the Dolby digital AC-3 decoder. Or you can use this input to accom-
modate a high quality multi-channel format like DTS or MPEG.
6-channel External Decoder Input
The Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit-A (DDSC-A) is a technology advancement delivering greater clarity and fidelity
during surround sound playback.
It prevents mutual interference among circuits and improves overall sound quality. With DDSC-A, the main signals
of the Front and Center channels are processed in their original analog form in order to preserve the high dynamic
range of the sound. The Effect signals for the Surround (Rear) channels are processed digitally. Both analog and digi-
tal sections have been completely separated to ensure clear sound and surround channel steering.

Personal Memory Plus
System Remote Controller
The AVR-1100's Remote Controller will operate any DENON CD player and cassette deck you have connected to the unit.
In addition, the pre-memory function contains most of the commands needed to operate a non-DENON VDP, TV and VCR.
Just enter the name of the manufacturer, and the controller is ready for use.
The buttons on the remote controller are fashioned such that different shapes and colors provide quick recogni-
tion for easy operation.
