ENGLISH
Explanation of Terms
Research in the perception of auditory source width has shown that
there are strong preferences in the direction of reflected sound and the
perception of soundstage width and spaciousness. The single most
important direction of side-wall reflections is ±60°. DSX provides a pair
of Wide channels (LW and RW) at ±60° with appropriate frequency
response and perceptual processing to match the requirements of
human hearing. In fact, the Wide channels are much more critical in
the presentation of a realistic soundstage than then Back Surround
channels found in traditional 7.1 systems. A more enveloping 7.1
channel system is one in which Wide speakers are used instead of
Back Surround speakers. Adding surround channels behind the listener
has a very small impact compared to the increase in envelopment and
soundstage width that the front wide channels will provide.
After side reflections, the next most important acoustical and
perceptual cues come from reflections above the front stage. DSX
provides a pair of Height channels (LH and RH) at a ±45° azimuth angle
and elevated to a 45° angle in the median plane.
In addition to creating new Wide and Height channels, DSX also
provides Surround Processing to enhance the envelopment of the
Surround and Back Surround channels (if present). DSX Surround
Processing processes the standard surround signals in the time and
frequency domains to improve the perceived sense of envelopment
and blending with the other speakers in the surround system.
Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion is a scalable system that can
adapt to the practical needs of the user. The first level of surround
stage enhancement comes from adding the Wide channels. The
second level comes from adding the Height channels. If it is practical
to have both Wides and Heights then the surround performance will
be further enhanced. DSX automatically reconfigures its processing
to optimize surround rendering over any number of available speakers
beyond 5.1.

DENON LINK
DENON LINK is a unique digital, balanced transfer type interface
developed by DENON. It offers high speed, high quality transfer of
digital audio data with low signal loss. It can be used together with
DENON AV Amplifier equipped with a special DENON LINK connector
using a single cable to enable playback with high sound quality. It allows
digital transfer of the 192 kHz/24 bit 2-channel digital signals of DVD-
Audio discs, PCM multi-channel signals, etc. Full-spec digital transfer
of the audio contents of Super Audio CD is possible by connecting a
player equipped for DENON LINK 3rd Edition.
During processing of DENON LINK, the "
display lights.
DENON LINK 4th uses the clock of the AV amplifier connected by
DENON LINK to achieve HDMI signal transfer with little jitter when
playing BD.
AL24 Processing Plus
AL24 Processing for All Channels
DENON has further developed its proprietary AL24 Processing, an
analog waveform reproduction technology, to support the 192 kHz
sampling frequency. AL24 Processing Plus, thoroughly suppresses
quantization noise associated with D/A conversion of LPCM signals to
reproduce the low-level signals with optimum clarity that will bring out
all the delicate nuances of the music.
Equipped foe not only front left and right channels but also for the
surround left and right, center and subwoofer channels.
