Dolby Pro Logic II Decoder
Enjoy 2-channel stereo recordings in stunning 5.1-channel surround
playback. The Dolby Pro Logic II decoder reproduces dynamic
5.1-channel surround sound not only from normal 5.1-channel DVD
but from 2-channel sources such as videos and CDs, too. Dolby Pro
Logic II uses matrix decoding technology that has been dramatically
improved over Pro Logic.
■
Dolby Digital and DTS Decoders
Equipped with both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 channel decoding, the
AVR-483 provides thrilling surround sound with the thousands of Dolby
Digital and DTS encoded DVDs, as well as the growing library of DTS
5.1 channel music recordings available on CD.
■
Cinema Equalizer
The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other
formats emphasizes high-frequency range due to a theater’s front speakers
being placed behind the movie screen. If this sound is reproduced in the
home theater without correction, the high-frequency range is too strong.
The AVR-483 features a Cinema Equalizer to correct these
high-frequency components so that the sound is clearer and easier to listen
to. (For Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, and DTS surround modes)
■
5 Channel Stereo Mode
DENON's popular 5 Channel Stereo mode transforms your favorite
2-channel sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo video
sources into exciting surround sound, free of delay effects and
unnatural artifacts, from all five speakers. This 5 Channel Stereo
mode was originally developed by DENON to enhance music lovers'
enjoyment of home theater ambience.
■
Virtual Surround Mode
Surround yourself with sensational 3D soundfield envelopment using
just one pair of speakers. The AVR-483's Virtual Surround mode
provides a dramatic psychoacoustic surround sound effect, using two
speakers with Dolby Digital 5.1 encoded sources.
