round sound performance. The heart of the AVR-2800 is Denon’s Dynamic Discrete Surround Decoder-Digital technology,
incorporating high performance DSP chips and superior A/D and D/A conversion devices. This provides superb listening
results, with virtually any home theater or music source. Prepared for the future, the AVR-2800 features 6-Channel external
input, for connection to future multi-channel surround formats. A high quality, discrete power output section provides a total
system power of 425 watts RMS into 8 ohms. Full 24 bit, 96 kHz digital-to-analog D/A converters on all 6 channels (3 stereo
pairs) provide transparent reproduction of multi-channel music and motion picture soundtracks with outstanding dynamic
range and superb low level resolution. Outstanding surround sound an an affordable price, with Dolby Digital and DTS decod-
ing. The AVR-2800’s remote controller features an easy-to-use layout where most frequently used buttons are provided in dif-
