DENON ORIGINAL SURROUND MODES
• The AVR-4800 is equipped with a built-in high performance DSP (digital signal processor) that uses digital processing to recreate sound fields
artificially. Select one of the eight provided surround modes according to the program source you want to play and adjust the parameters to
achieve a more real, powerful sound field.

Select this when watching baseball or soccer programs to achieve a sound as if you were actually at the stadium. This mode
provides the longest reverberation signals.
Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected sounds coming from all directions.
This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls. This mode gives jazz a very vivid realism.
Select this for the sound of a concert hall rich in reverberations.
Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.
Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in stereo. Signals consisting of the difference
component of the input signals (the component that provides the sense of expansion) processed for delay are output from the
surround channel.
Select this to achieve an atmosphere like that of a movie theater with a large screen. In this mode, all signal sources are played
in the 7.1-channel mode, including Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital 5.1-channel sources. Effects simulating the multi surround
speakers of movie theaters are added to the surround channels.
The front left channel signals are output to the surround and surround back signal left channels, the front right channel signals are
output to the surround and surround back signal right channels, and the in-phase component of the left and right channels is output
to the center channel. Use this mode to enjoy stereo sound.
Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.
In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes.
NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one channel (left or right), so input
signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a “Y” adaptor
cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.
NOTE:
Only the DIRECT and 5CH/7CH STEREO modes can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from
DVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio). If such signals are input during playback in one of the other surround modes, the mode
automatically switches to DIRECT.
Personal Memory Plus
The AVR-4800 is equipped with a function called Personal Memory Plus which automatically stores the surround mode and level settings
selected for the different input programs in the memory. The mode stored in the memory the last time the input program source was used is
called out automatically when that program source is selected.
