Denon AVR-97 Datasheet

NEW MODEL INFORMATION
Outstanding surround sound an affordable price, with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding.
Featuring the latest in Dolby Digital and DTS decoding technology, the AVR-97 provides outstanding home theater surround
sound performance. The heart of the AVR-97 is Denon's Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit-Digital technology, incorporating high
performance dual DSP chips and superior A/D and D/A conversion devices. This provides superb listening results, with virtually
any home theater or music source. Prepared for the future, the AVR-97 features 6-Channel external input, for connection to future
multi-channel surround formats. A high quality, discrete power output section provides a total system power of 500 watts. Full 24-bit,
96 kHz digital-to-analog D/A converters on all 6 channels provide transparent reproduction of multi-channel music and motion picture
soundtracks with outstanding dynamic range and superb low level resolution. Outstanding surround sound an affordable price,
with Dolby Digital and DTS decoding. The AVR-97's remote controller features an easy-to-use layout where most frequently used
buttons are provided in different colors and shapes for easy recognition, even while keeping your eyes on the screen. The buttons
also feature "Self-illuminated GLO-KEY" for easy operation in the dark.
Equal Power Discrete Power Amplifier
Front 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.07 % THD)
Center 100 W (8 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.07 % THD)
Surround 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.07 % THD)
All five power amplifier channels feature discrete power out-
put devices, and all five amplifier channels provide equal power
with lowest distortion. Each channel is rated at 100 watts, into
8 ohms, 1 kHz, with no more than 0.07% THD. A hallmark of
Denon A/V component design, the equal power amplifier pro-
vides outstandingly accurate reproduction of motion picture
soundtracks and multi-channel music programs.
AVR-97
Dolby Digital and DTS A/V Receiver
DDSC-Digital (Dynamic Discrete Surround
Circuit-Digital)
Since surround signals are all processed in the digital domain,
the AVR-97 is equipped with a newly-developed, sophisticated,
high-performance dual DSP circuit for the Dolby Digital, Dolby
Pro Logic, dts decoders, and Surround Simulator. The D/A con-
verters feature high resolution designs for all the Front L/R,
Center, Surround L/R, and Subwoofer channels. This combina-
tion of DSP and D/A converters works to bring out the tremen-
dous potential of Dolby Digital and dts sound. In addition, high
resolution A/D converters have been incorporated for the Dolby
Pro Logic decoder. The high sound quality of New DDSC-Digital
is due in part to the high-grade signal processing of the 24-bit,
96-kHz Digital Interface Receiver (DIR). The AVR-3300 not only
allows digital signals input from DVD and other advanced media
to pass directly to the DIR, it also processes them while preserv-
ing their integrity so that even the most delicate nuances of the
music, reflecting the emotions of the artists, are passed unfet-
tered to the dual digital signal processor (DSP).
