Denon Announces the AVR-3806 7-channel AV Surround Sound and 3-Zone Multiroom Amplifier with full HDMI facilities (4/11/2005)

Denon AVR-3806 - £999.99 - 2006 range

- new upgraded version of Denon's best-selling and market leading AVR-3805 amplifier

- the first receiver for the digital video era with HDMI video conversion and 1080p switching

This is a world-class component that offers unprecedented features and capabilities for a price significantly lower than might be expected.

The AVR-3806 owes much of its design to its more advanced big brothers the XV series, and it delivers incredible performance from a more compact and affordable package. Key features of the 3806 include the advanced Audyssey MultEQª XT room correction and calibration technology that is capable of minimising the effects of room acoustics for up to six listeners.

Seven discrete 120/160 watt power amplifiers and multiple-channel output, with independent audio & video processing capabilities allow a 3-room multi-source, multi zone home entertainment system from a single component.

Audio performance is maximized through Denon's latest DDSC-D (Dynamic Discrete Surround Decoder-Digital) with AL24 Processing Plus. Pure Direct gives great stereo for music.

NEW features, over and above the 3805

- Analogue Video Conversion to HDMI output - while many competitors haven't even implemented HDMI switching yet, the 3806 goes way further to introduce conversion of all analogue video to HDMI.

- Ready for the future with 1080p HDMI switching

- HDMI Repeater function allows multi-channel audio decoding in the receiver, but also passes 2-channel audio onto a display to utilize the televisionÕs speakers when required.

- Audyssey MultEQª XT room correction and calibration for up to six listening positions

- 3 User mode presets on front panel - easier operation for all users

- New design EL backlight touch panel/hard key remote

- Additional component monitor output

- Variable Gain Volume control. S/N in the useable area has been improved and finer adjustments are possible in 0.5 dB steps across the extended range of Ð80 dB to +18 dB

Denon Link 3 (DL3) sounds better than HDMI or Firewire, for Movies or Music

Proven in review after review to be the best sounding connection. Fully SACD capable, DL3 allows the amplifier to receive high-resolution, multi-channel digital audio data directly from DL3 DVD players for the best sound from all disc formats. SACD is kept as pure DSD all the way to the DACs.

Stunning Audio Performance and Huge Power

- 7 x 120 watts of full-bandwidth low-distortion high-current power

- 7 x 160 watts into 6 ohms, 1kHz, 0.7% distortion / DIN
