Denon AVR-3300 Dolby Digital & dts A/V Receiver
Overview
Denon’s flagship A/V receiver, the AVR-5700, set the standard for home theater and music
reproduction accuracy, with a host of technological advances and user features that define the
present state-of-the-art in a single A/V component.
Denon’s AVR-3300 A/V receiver has been specifically designed to incorporate as many of the
AVR-5700’s technologies and features at a dramatically lower retail price.

Digital Inputs The AVR-3300 is provided with four digital inputs, one coaxial and three optical. These are all “addressable” – that is, they are not "locked" to any input, but can be assigned to the user's vari- ous sources according to the type of digital output jack found on each – this is done at the time of system setup. The use of addressable digital inputs with both optical and coaxial types sup- ported will allow virtually any combination of audio/video source components to be accommodat-

To preserve the fidelity of the high bit data provided by the DDSC-D SHARC processor section, the AVR-3300 features full 24 bit 96 kHz premium grade DACs on all six audio channels. Unlike other processors which use cheaper integrated codecs (combination A/D and D/A chip), the Denon DDSC-D philosophy extends through the D/A section, featuring full 24 bit 96 kHz digital filters for all six channels, followed by full 24 bit 96 kHz premium Analog Devices AD-1855 DACs.

Future Proof For a clear system upgrade path, the AVR-3300 features eight channel (7.1) pre-amp outputs, with all eight channels controlled by the master volume control. The AVR-3300 is prepared for the future of multi-channel music reproduction, regardless of format developments. Dual Mode Surround Speaker Operation Movies or Music? Until now, A/V enthusiasts were forced to choose which type of surround sound they prefer and configure their system accordingly: Movie Surround – For the most real

Enhanced Bass Management The AVR-3300 features superior bass management, which is responsible for ensuring that deep bass sounds do not arrive at the smaller center, front and surround speakers, at the same time ensuring that higher frequencies do not arrive at the subwoofer. The AVR-3300’s crossover fre- quency is set at 80 Hz for optimum subwoofer-to-main speakers blend. During setup, the user can choose Large or Small according to the frequency characteristics of the system's speakers. A typi

heat sink/power transistor temperatures). The fan system is thermally sensitive as well as output level sensitive. Should the fan be on at any time due to high power operation, either at low or high speed, and the soundtrack goes to a quiet passage, the fan is quickly cut back or shut off. This sophisticated system ensures that fan noise will never be audible, while at the same time providing proper temperature control of the important power amplifier output stage.
