[. . . ] Finest DSP employed for faster processing in the D. D. S. C-Digital circuitry and higher sound quality · Melody 100 DSP Melody 100, the latest DSP from Analog Devices, is used for the decoder to further boost digital signal processing capability and also providing the highest dynamic range. · 24-bit, 192-kHz All-channels D/A Conversion For optimum fidelity and transparency, the AVR-3808 features the Burr-Brown PCM-1791 high resolution 24-bit, 192 kHz DACs, in an eight channel. · 24-bit, 192-kHz Digital Interface Receiver The AVR-3808 includes a Digital Interface Receiver (DIR) that distinguishes various types of digital input signals, including 24/192 and 24/96 stereo PCM signals, performs the appropriate signal processing, and transmits the information to the DSP block. [. . . ] DENON's Latest Surround Technology Faithfully Recreates the Surround Sound Produced at the Dubbing Stage. · DTS 96/24 5. 1 Decoding for DVD-Video High-quality 96-kHz, 24-bit (96/24) sound playback from ordinary DVD-Video recordings is limited to only two channels and there are also limitations on the picture. DVD-Video recorded in DTS 96/24, however, allows high-quality 5. 1-channel sound playback in full-quality, full-motion video. · DTS-ES Discrete 6. 1 and Matrix 6. 1 The AVR-3808 is equipped with a DTS-ES decoder that supports Discrete 6. 1 and Matrix 6. 1. Discrete 6. 1 faithfully reproduces program sources originally recorded in 6. 1-channel sound, and Matrix 6. 1 performs matrix processing on the Left Surround and Right Surround signals and brings out Back Surround channels.

INFORMATION
AVR-3808
Pure Direct mode which is equipped with AL24 processing, to enjoy purely stereo music with high sound quality The Pure Direct mode lets you use the AVR-3808 as a high sound quality stereo amplifier. A simple key operation on the main unit to select Pure Direct automatically turns off power to the video circuitry and the fluorescent lights also go off to thoroughly minimize adverse influences from these circuits on the audio circuit. During analog audio input, power to the digital circuitry is also turned off. Furthermore, Denon's AL24 processor for high sound quality has been added to the front 2 channels during digital audio input, enabling the playback of sound with remarkably high transparency. Designed for high sound quality · Hefty Power Transformer for Stable Supply of Power A huge power transformer has been connected in the power section where it is combined with a rectifier diode and a large block capacitor to ensure a large, stable supply of electrical current.
