FEATURES

1. Digital Surround Sound Decoding
Featuring dual 32 bit high speed DSP processors,
operating entirely in digital domain, surround
sound from digital sources such as DVD, DTV and
satellite are faithfully re-created.
2. Dolby Digital
Using advanced digital processing algorithms,
Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-
range, high fidelity surround sound. Dolby Digital
is the default digital audio delivery system for
North American DVD and DTV, and is available on
laser discs as well as some digital satellite direct-
to-home services.
3. DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range,
high fidelity surround sound, from sources such as
laser disc, DVD and specially-encoded music
discs.
4. Lucasfilm Home THX Ultra Certified
Home THX is the unique collaboration between
Lucasfilm Ltd. and audio
manufacturers. THX Ultra certification is the
highest performance level, and provides a
rigorous set of performance standards, along with
proprietary surround sound post-processing
technologies, designed to enhance the surround
soundtrack playback experience in the home
theater.
5. THX Surround EX
The AVC-A11SR is fully compatible with THX
Surround EX, the latest surround format.
6. DTS-ES Extended Surround and DTS Neo:6
The AVC-A11SR is compatible with DTS-ES Extended
Surround, a new multi-channel format developed by
Digital Theater Systems Inc.
The AVC-A11SR is also compatible with DTS Neo:6,
a surround mode allowing 6.1-channel playback of
regular stereo sources.
7. DTS 96/24 compatibility
The AVC-A11SR is compatible with sources recorded
in DTS 96/24, a new multi-channel digital signal
format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc.
DTS 96/24 sources can be played in the multi-channel
mode on the AVC-A11SR with high sound quality of
96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2 kHz/24 bits.
8. Dolby Pro Logic II decoder
Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing
multichannel audio signals that
improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic.
It can be used to decode not only sources
recorded in Dolby Surround but also regular stereo
sources into five channels (front left/right, center
and surround left/right). In addition, various
4
parameters can be set according to the type of
source and the contents, so you can adjust the
sound field with greater precision.
9. Wide screen mode for a 7.1-channel sound
even with 5.1-channel sources
DENON has developed a wide screen mode with
a new design which recreates the effects of the
multi surround speakers in movie theaters. The
result is 7.1-channel sound taking full advantage of
surround back speakers, even with Dolby Pro
Logic or Dolby Digital/DTS 5.1-channel signals.
10. 24 bit D/A Conversion
All eight channels, including the seven main
channels and the low frequency effects (LFE)
channel benefit from reference
DEVICES DACs, for optimum high fidelity
reproduction of music and movie soundtracks.
11. Dual Surround Speaker Mode
Provides for the first time the ability to optimize
surround sound reproduction using two different
equipment types of surround sound speakers as well as two
different surround speaker positions:
(1) Movie Surround
Motion picture soundtracks use the surround
channel(s) to provide the ambient elements of
the acoustic environment they want the
audience to realize. This is best accomplished
by the use of specially-designed surround
speakers that offer a wide diffusion pattern
(bipolar dispersion) or by using surround
speakers that provide broad dispersion with a
minimum of on-axis localization (dipolar
dispersion). Side wall mounting (closer to the
ceiling) of the surround speakers provides the
greatest envelopment, minimizing localization
of direct sound from the speakers.
(2) Music Surround
With full range discrete surround channels, as
well as three discrete full range front channels,
digital formats such as Dolby and DTS offer
thrilling surround sound music listening.
Producers of multi-channel discrete digital
music recordings almost always favor the use
of direct radiating (monopolar) surround
speakers, placed in the rear corners of the
room, since that is how they configure their
studios during the mixing/creation process.
The DENON AVC-A11SR provides the ability to
connect two different sets of surround
offers
speakers, and place them in the appropriate
locations in your home theater room, so that
you can enjoy both movie soundtracks and
music listening, with optimum results and no
compromise.
12. Component Video Switching
In addition to composite video and "S" video
switching, the AVC-A11SR provides 3 sets of
component video (Y, R-Y, B-Y) inputs for the DVD,
TV and DBS/SAT inputs, and one set of
component video outputs to the television, for
superior picture quality.
13. Video Select Function
Allow you to watch one source (visual) while
listening to another source (audio).
14. Seven Identical Power Amplifiers
Featuring discrete high current power transistors,
the power amp section is THX Ultra certified for
top performance with the widest range of speaker
systems. Rated at 125 watts into 8 Ω/ohms, the
amp channels feature additional low impedance
drive capability.

CONNECTIONS

• Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections
have been completed.
• Be sure to connect the left and right channels
properly (left with left, right with right).
• Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections
will result in the generation of noise.
• Use the AC OUTLET for audio equipment only.
Do not use them for hair driers, etc.
15. Future Sound Format Upgrade Capability via
Eight Channel Inputs & Outputs
For future multi-channel audio format(s), the AVC-
A11SR is provided with 7.1 channel (seven main
channels, plus one low frequency effects channel)
inputs, along with a full set of 7.1 channel pre-amp
outputs, controlled by the 8 channel master
volume control. This assures future upgrade
possibilities for any future multi-channel sound
format.
• Note that binding pin plug cords together with AC
cords or placing them near a power transformer
will result in generating hum or other noise.
• Noise or humming may be generated if a
connected audio equipment is used independently
without turning the power of this unit on. If this
happens, turn on the power of the this unit .
