State-of-the-art Denon Solutions for
Maximizing Content Quality
• Robust power source for each block, for stable supply of current
To produce a clear, stable power circuit that prevents unwanted
noise from affecting the sound, the AVR-790 has a dedicated
CPU transformer that is separate from the audio and video
circuitry. The AVR-790 is equipped with a powerful rectifier
circuit with 12,000 μF block capacitors and a bridge diode of 8A
capacity, surpassing typical models in this price range, to supply
stable current with negligible noise.
• High-bit I/P Converter and Scaler up to 1080p
The AVR-790 uses a high-performance video up-scaler to convert
SD (standard definition) video material to HD (high definition)
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 clear picture. Now you can enjoy not only your DVDs but also
your VCR tapes and games with much greater clarity and detail.
• Analog to HDMI up - conversion, I/P conver ter
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 the HDMI output
even when multiple HDMI devices such as a video camera or a
game console are connected to the AVR-790. One HDMI cable is all
that’s needed to connect the AVR-790 to a TV (monitor).
• 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
The “simple and straight” design concept has been thoroughly
implemented in the signal paths to contribute to immaculately
clean audio and video playback. Signal paths are as short as
possible to keep signal degradation in the audio and video
circuitry to an absolute minimum.
• Direct Mechanical Ground Construction, embodying
concepts for thorough vibration resistance
Vibration-resistant construction has been reviewed to thoroughly
suppress the adverse influences of vibration on sound quality.
The power transformers, a source of vibration, have been
securely mounted on the highly rigid bottom chassis. Direct
mounting of cast-iron feet to the radiator in near proximity to
each other serves to suppress mutual vibration with the power
transformers and other sources of vibration.
• Digital / analog separate windings
• Compressed Audio Restorer to enhance
digital music fi les
Connectivity & Future-ready Expandability
• Power Amp Assign function, for versatility in
using the AVR-790 for diff erent purposes
The AVR-790 supports up to 7.1 channels (FL/ FR/ C/ SL/
SR/ SBL/ SBR/ SW) for surround playback defined by the
Blu-ray disc format. To enjoy surround playback with the
AVR-790’s Dolby Pro Logic IIz, you can reassign the power
amp from the two surround back channels (SBL/SBR) to the
two front high channels (FLH/FRH). Or by assigning the SBL/
SBR power amp to Zone 2, you can enjoy multi-room audio
playback, or to achieve higher-quality sound for 2-channel ste-
reo playback, you can configure the AVR-790 for front bi-amp
operation. These are just some of the ways you can arrange
the AVR-790’s amps to suit various listening styles.
• Audio/video playback and control for iPod with
optional dock (ASD-11R)
Ease-of-use
• 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 sacrificing dynamic
range. The AVR-790 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
effect during low volume levels. Dynamic Volume combines
these two functions to achieve maximum performance.
• MultEQ Auto setup and Room EQ room acoustic
correction
-Tower type microphone for more accurate measuring
-Up to six measurement points
-High level resolution fi lters for satellite speakers and also subwoofer
• Auto surround mode
• Audio Delay function
(max. 6 frames or 200 mSec)
• Muting level settings (Full/-40dB/-20dB)
