DENON AVR-1604 6.1 ES BSTOCK AUTH DLR WARRANTY REP 1603
[DEN9-AVR1604]

BE VERY CAREFUL OUT THERE... If you do not buy an AVR-1604 from an authorized DENON Dealer, DENON WILL NOT honor the warranty and you will not receive any updates, upgrades or support. DENON''S technicians are among the best in the business... DO NOT give that up!!! If you buy an AVR-1604 from a dealer who is not authorized, you are taking a risk that the serial # may have been tampered with or removed...

DENON's Basic Design for High-Quality Sound Reproduction

Power Transformer for High Power Driven
The chassis that supports the large transformer has been designed to absorb vibration, and the transformer is housed inside a highly rigid frame to secure it more solidly to the chassis. In addition, a cushioning material has been placed around the core of the transformer to minimize interference on the signal and enable more faithful reproduction of the original sound. The AVR-1604 inherits these low-noise design from higher-end models not to mention the use of short ring.

Twin Drive Rectifier
DENON''s Twin Drive Rectifier design uses two rectifying diodes in parallel to bring out the maximum potential of the large transformer. Since the rectifiers recharge the large block capacitors at low impedance, they are able to supply ample current to reproduce deep basses as well as sudden bursts of sound from percussion or other musical instruments.

Large Aluminum Extruded Heatsink
DENON uses large heatsink made of extruded aluminum. They have been placed in a design that ensures mostly uniform temperatures throughout the heatsink so that the output transistors for all channels can be driven under uniform conditions. This in turn ensures that all channels respond with equal performance to the demands of the audio signals.

Fully Discrete, Equal Power Six Amplifier Channels, 75 Watts Each

• - Front 75 W + 75 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
• - Center 75 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
• - Surround 75 W + 75 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
• - Surround Back 75 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)

For optimum Dolby Digital and DTS reproduction, the AVR-1604 features high quality, wideband audio amplification, providing 75 watts power output for each of the six main channels. A large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer along with discrete power output devices on all six amplifier channels for highest dynamic range and superb reproduction clarity.

32 bit High Quality DSP
A-high -quality 32-bit DSP MELODY 32 from Analog Devices has been used in the DSP processor, placing the AVR-1604 at a higher rank than other models of this class in its ability to accurately decode and reproduce the superior quality of surround sources.

24 bit, 96 kHz High Resolution D/A Conversion

Wide-Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
The power amp circuits of the AVR-1604 have been meticulously designed to reproduce the exceptionally high sound quality with wide frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz.

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-1604 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, Dolby Digital EX and DTS surround modes)

Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation
The AVR-1604 includes the Personal Memory Plus function that automatically remembers the surround mode you last used for each program source, so that you do not need to select the mode again for that program.

Acclaimed Customization Feature
As with all of DENON's high-grade A/V receiver, the AVR-1604 lets you adjust delay times and other parameters so that you can customize the performance of the AVR-1604 to suit your own home theater and enhance operating ease. The adjustments are easy to make via a dialog format on the fluorescent display on the front panel. These customized features are then stored, for each source input and surround mode, in Personal Memory Plus so constant readjustments are not required.

Multi-Function Preset Memory Remote Controller with Glo-keys
The supplied system remote controller features a large selection of remote control codes to operate other components in your home theater system, including codes for selected DENON models, along with remote control codes from other manufacturers. The most frequently used buttons are laid out separately for TV, VCR and DVD, for maximum ease-of-use. * Remote control codes cannot be used with the products of other manufacturers and some DENON products.

DTS-ES (Discrete 6.1 / Matrix 6.1) and DTS NEO:6 Decoder

Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II and Dolby Digital EX Decoder

6 Channel Stereo Mode
DENON''s popular 6 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 six speakers. This 6 Channel Stereo mode was originally developed by DENON to enhance music lovers'' enjoyment of home theater ambience.

Virtual Surround Mode
Surround yourself with sensational 3D sound field envelopment using just one pair of speakers. The AVR-1604's Virtual Surround mode provides a dramatic psychoacoustic surround sound effect, using two speakers with all sources.

DENON DSP Surround Modes Add Listening Excitement
Put yourself in the middle of your favorite concert hall and music environments with DENON''s DSP acoustic environment simulation modes. These DSP modes add spacious surround sound enhancements to your favorite music and video sources, and include these distinctly different sounding effects:

1. 5 / 6 Channel Stereo
2. Virtual Surround
3. Rock Arena
4. Jazz Club
5. Video Game
6. Matrix
7. Mono Movie

Adjustable Cross-Over Switching
The AVR-1604 supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 4 cross-over frequencies: 80, 100, 120 and 150. This lets you more accurately match the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the main speaker system.
