Surround Modes: This receiver incorporates a wide variety of surround modes to bring you maximum enjoyment from your audio and video software. The surround modes include:. Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency domain processing which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage with superior channel separation and localization of audio elements.

The left front channel signals are duplicated in the left surround channel, and the right channel signals are duplicated in the right surround channel. All in-phase components of the left and right channels are output from the center channel. Folder and file names appear on the receiver's display panel.

The iPod can be controlled using the buttons on the main unit and the remote control. XM Satellite Radio offers over commercial-free channels of music, news, sports, comedy, talk, and entertainment to choose from--all in digital quality.

During XM playback, you can display the channel number and name, category, artist name, and song title on the front panel. Assignable Digital Inputs: You can assign the name of the component connected to each of the two digital inputs.

Personal Memory Plus: The Personal Memory Plus function automatically memorizes the surround mode, channel volume, surround parameters, and other settings for each of the separate input sources. Cinema Equalizer: The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the extreme high frequencies, compensating for overly-bright sounding motion picture soundtracks.

Select this function if the sound from the front speakers is too bright. Dynamic Range Compression: Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range the contrast between very soft and very loud sounds. For listening late at night, or whenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, the Dynamic Range Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack but with reduced dynamic range.

This only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital. You can select one of the four settings: "Off", "Low", "Mid" middle , or "Hi" high. Last Function Memory: This unit is equipped with a last function memory, which stores the input and output setting conditions as they were immediately before the power was switched off.

Back-Up Memory: The unit is also equipped with a back-up memory. This function provides approximately one week of memory storage when the main unit's power switch is off and with the power cord disconnected. The unique remote has controls on both sides: on the top, and under a hinged panel on the back.

Receiver Inputs and Outputs Notes. Because the "A" and "B" speaker outputs are wired in parallel, the minimum impedance is 6 ohms when using "A" or "B" and 12 ohms when using "A" and "B" speakers together. Speaker Connectors: This receiver is equipped with binding post connectors for the front left A, front right A, front left B, front right B, surround left, surround right, and center speakers.

They are not 5-way binding posts because a plastic collar prevents their use with spade lugs and they are positioned too far apart to be used with dual banana plugs. When headphones are plugged into the headphone jack, the speaker outputs are automatically turned off. When the plug is removed from the headphone jack, the speakers automatically turn on again.

DVD Features. This design improves the reproducibility of extremely minute details so that the picture viewed on the screen is completely faithful to the original image in both its colors and high resolution.

Progressive Scan Output: This unit has a progressive scan output for a sharper, noise-free picture with finer details. Video images are displayed with optimum naturalness and color reproduction with less flicker and fewer motion artifacts than traditional interlaced scanned pictures. The HDMI can be set to output p, p, or i signals to match the input capability of the connected TV or monitor.

This unit supports HDCP encryption. Images between 32 x 32 pixels and x pixels can be played back on this unit. Progressive JPEGs cannot be played on this unit. JPEG images can be shown in a slide show fashion at intervals of 5 or 10 seconds. Virtual Surround: Virtual Surround simulates multi-channel surround sound using only two speakers.

Markers: Up to 10 points on a DVD can be stored in memory and easily recalled. Markers are automatically cleared when the power is turned off or when the tray is opened. When the Play button is pressed after pressing the Stop button, playback resumes from the position where the disc was stopped. The resume play memory function still works even if the power is turned off.

Dialog Speed: When playing back a Dolby Digital-encoded disc, you can play the disc back in a slightly faster or slower speed while keeping the sound quality as normal as possible. When Dialog Speed is activated, you can select playback at 1. Parental Control allows you to restrict playback according to a predetermined level.

You can select a parental control rating from , which is protected by a 4-digit password. Auto Power-Off: If the unit is in stop mode for approximately 30 minutes, it will automatically switch to standby mode.

The literature for the DHTDV system claims that the acoustically matched loudspeakers "feature Denon design and engineering with the added benefit and expertise of European Sound Designers tuning," whatever that is.

I admit, I was very skeptical and was not expecting much from the diminutive speakers. But once I fired up Pirates of the Caribbean , I had to eat a little crow. This little speaker system did a respectable job.

This is large room with 16' ceilings, and the system sounded really nice. I tweaked a few speaker distance settings, and I began listening.

The sub created a nice little punch in the big room during action sequences in Pirates of the Caribbean and Cars , and dialogue was clear and easily understandable from my listening position on the couch. Music was enjoyable too.
