NEW MODEL INFORMATION Home Theater Package with 6 Speakers DHT-683XP DHT-683XP Home Theater Package with 6 Speakers The DHT-683XP, with Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic II, and a robust 110 watts per channel, is a versatile A/V receiver package that includes 5 DENON speakers and a powerful subwoofer. Since speakers must be carefully selected to bring out the full sound quality of the recording, DENON has made the job easier by selecting the speakers for you. With Dolby Pro Logic II, the AVR-683 recreates existing Dolby Surround programs and conventional stereo sources such as CD in realistic 5.1-channel likeness. Just add your DVD player and you'll be ready to fire up your favorite video or music program in full surround sound. Fully Discrete, Equal Power Five Amplifier Channels, 100 Watts Each Front 110 W + 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 %) Center 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 %) Surround 110 W + 110 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 %) For optimum Dolby Digital and DTS reproduction, the AVR-683 features high quality, wideband audio amplification, providing 110 watts power output for each of the five main channels. A large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer along with discrete power output devices on all five amplifier channels for highest dynamic range and superb reproduction clarity. 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. With Pro Logic II, for instance, the Surround (Rear) channels are in stereo (only mono with Pro Logic) and playback covers the full frequency range (only up to 7 kHz with Pro Logic). These improvements let you enjoy a wide variety of 2-channel sources with the exciting effects of 5.1-channel surround sound. Dolby Digital and DTS Decoders Equipped with both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 channel decoding, the AVR-683 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-683 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) SC-53S/SC-53C/DSW-37 *The speaker system shown is not available in some markets. 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.
