State-of-the-art Denon Solutions for
Maximizing Content Quality
• Anchor Bay VRS analog to HDMI up-conversion,
I/P converter and scaler on HDMI to HDMI
Analog video input signals (composite, S-video, component) are
converted to digital video signals and transmitted to the HDMI
output port. Digital video signals are sent to HDMI output even
when multiple HDMI devices such as a video camera or a game
console are connected to the AVR-990. One HDMI cable is all
that’s needed to connect the AVR-990 to a TV (monitor).
.
• 7ch Discrete Mono Amp Construction
New construction design (discrete amp construction for each
channel) is adopted for more precise sound reproduction.
• Clock Jitter Reducer available for all digital inputs
The Clock Jitter Reducer thoroughly suppresses fluctuations on
the clock waveform to remove distortion from the digital audio
signal and minimize adverse infl uences on sound quality.
• High-bit I/P Converter and Scaler up to 1080p
The AVR-990 uses a high-performance Anchor Bay VRS video
up-scaler to convert SD (standard defi nition) video material to
HD (high defi nition) quality. This means that the 480i/480p (SD
quality) video signals of DVD programs and other material are
converted to the high quality 1080p signal of HD video, and
output to the HDMI port. The fuzziness in the details of SD
video is removed to produce a clearer picture. Now you can
enjoy not only your DVDs but also your VCR tapes and games
with much greater clarity and detail.
• Support for new surround extensions
The power amplifi er channels can be assignd to allow diff erent
confi gurations including PLIIz front height eff ects, SBR/SBL, etc.
-Dolby Pro Logic IIz processing
Dolby Pro Logic IIz introduces a new dimension to home
theater entertainment through the addition of a pair of front
height channels. Compatible with stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 content,
Dolby Pro Logic IIz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth and
dimension to movies, concert video and video game playback
while maintaining the full integrity of the source mix.
• Minimum Signal Path
for clear audio and video signal
• Direct Mechanical Ground Construction, embody-
ing concepts for thorough vibration resistance
• Digital / analog separate transformer windings
• Compressed Audio Restorer
to enhance digital music fi les
• Pure Direct function
Connectivity & Future-ready Expandability
• Party Mode
The ‘Party Mode’ allow you to supply same music (iPod /
Internet Radio / PC music / NAS) up to five rooms including
its local music system at the same time among Denon ‘Party
Mode’ compliant products on the network.
• Audio/video playback and control
for iPod with optional dock (ASD-11R)
• HD Radio built-in - with HD Radio AM sounds like FM
and FM sounds like CD
Ease-of-use
• On-Board GUI via HDMI output (up to 1080p)
The AVR-990 is equipped with an easy-to-view Graphical User
Interface (GUI) featuring visual menu displays. These menu
displays can also be output to the monitor over HDMI.
• Audyssey Dynamic Volume, for real-time volume
adjustment
Audyssey Dynamic Volume constantly monitors the sound
sources and adjusts the volume to the optimum level for the
particular source being heard without sacrifi cing dynamic range.
The AVR-990 is also equipped with Audyssey MultEQ which
measures the acoustic characteristics of the room to obtain the
optimum acoustic effects, and Dynamic EQ which reproduces
the high and low range with the optimum acoustic eff ect during
low volume levels. Dynamic Volume combines these two func-
tions to achieve maximum performance.
• MultEQ Auto setup and Room EQ
-Tower type microphone for more accurate measuring
-Up to six measurement points
-High level resolution filters for satellite speakers and also
subwoofer
• Auto surround mode
• Audio level memory, capable of correcting
diff erent signal levels for each input device
• Variable subwoofer crossover switching
• Supports HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC)
Others
• AMX, Crestron third par t y IP control suppor t
with RS-232C port
• 150mA Trigger output
• IR Remote in/out ports
