Denon AVR-982 - Manual

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Dolby Pro Logic II with Power Amps for 6 Channels
■ Fully Discrete, Equal Power Six Amplifier Channels
Front .................... 135 W + 135 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7% THD)
Center.................. 135 W
(6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7% THD)
Surround.............. 135 W + 135 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7% THD)
Surround Back .... 135 W
(6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7% THD)
All six power amplifier channels feature discrete power output devices,
and all six amplifier channels provide equal power with lowest distortion.
Each channel is rated at 135 watts, into 6 ohms, from 1 kHz, with no
more than 0.7 % THD. A hallmark of Denon A/V component design, the
equal power amplifier provides outstandingly accurate reproduction of
motion picture soundtracks and multi-channel music programs.
■ Single-Channel Surround Back Power AMP for 6.1 Surround
and 2-channel Pre-output for 7.1 Surround
The AVR-982 is equipped with a total of 6 power amps including one
for the Surround Back speaker to give you more clearly defined sound
localization at the rear for 6.1-channel surround sources such as DTS-ES
Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, Dolby Digital EX, and DTS NEO:6. The
AVR-982 also provides you with 2 PRE OUT terminals for the Surround
Back channels, allowing for the ultimate home theater experience in amazing
7.1-channel Surround, when a second power amplifier is added.
■ High Power Custom Transistor
When temperatures rise or fall inside the unit, bias current values supplied
to the power transistor tend to fluctuate, causing sound quality to
deteriorate. The high power custom transistor used in the AVR-982
ensures that the bias current is constantly uniform so that the sound
you hear is of consistently stable, high quality.
■ High-quality DSP
A high-quality 24-bit fixed point DSP processor has been used in the
DSP processor, placing the AVR-982 at a higher rank than other models
of this class in its ability to accurately decode and reproduce the
superior quality of DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, DTS
NEO:6, Dolby Digital EX, and Dolby Pro Logic II.
■ Featuring DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 Decoding
The AVR-982 is equipped with the DTS-ES (true discrete) 6.1 decoder,
developed by DTS to provide dramatically improved surround sound
panoramic reproduction and superior surround sound localization.
■ Supports DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 Decoding
■ Supports DTS NEO:6 Surround Decoding
■ Featuring Dolby Pro Logic II Decoding
Enjoy 2-channel stereo recordings in stunning 5.1-channel surround playback.
The Dolby Pro Logic II decoder reproduces dynamic 5.1-channel surround
sound not only from normal 5.1-channel DVD but from 2-channel
sources such as videos and CDs, too. 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. In Dolby Pro Logic II, there is a Movie mode
(*1)
that creates a sound space suitable for movies, a Music mode that does
the same for music, and a Pro Logic emulation feature that reproduces
sound effects in the way that conventional Pro Logic does.
■ Dolby Digital Decoding
■ 5-CH/6-CH Stereo Mode
Denon's popular 5-CH/6-CH Stereo mode transforms your favorite
2-channel sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo video
sources into exciting surround sound, free of delay effects and
unnatural artifacts, from all five, or six, speakers. This 5-CH/6-CH
Stereo mode was originally developed by DENON to enhance
music lovers' enjoyment of home theater ambience.

The AVR-982 is equipped with 6 amplifiers of equal power, one for each channel, in a discrete configuration for total accuracy
when reproducing sound from demanding DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, Dolby Digital, DVD-Audio, and SACD sources. The Dolby Pro Logic II
feature lets you hear 2-channel stereo sources in realistic 5.1-channel surround sound. For multi-room versatility, the AVR-982's
Multi Source function lets you enjoy audio, for instance, in one room while another program source is playing in the main room.
