ENGLISH
Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections
have been completed.
Be sure to connect the left and right channels
properly (left with left, right with right).
Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections
will result in the generation of noise.
Use the AC OUTLETS for audio equipment
only. Do not use them for hair driers, etc.
Note that binding pin plug cords together with AC
cords or placing them near a power transformer
will result in generating hum or other noise.
Noise or humming may be generated if a
connected audio equipment is used independently
without turning the power of this unit on. If this
happens, turn on the power of the this unit
.

FEATURES
1. Digital Surround Sound Decoding
Featuring 32 bit high speed DSP, operating entirely
in digital domain, surround sound from digital
sources such as DVD, LD, DTV and satellite are
faithfully re-created.
2. DTS 96/24 compatibility
The AVR-2803 can be decoded with sources
recorded in DTS 96/24, a new multi-channel digital
signal format developed by Digital Theater
Systems Inc.
DTS 96/24 sources can be played in the multi-
channel mode on the AVR-2803 with high sound
quality of 96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2 kHz/24 bits.
3. DTS-ES Extended Surround and DTS Neo:6
The AVR-2803 is compatible with DTS-ES Extended
Surround, a new multi-channel format developed by
Digital Theater Systems Inc.
The AVR-2803 is also compatible with DTS Neo:6, a
surround mode allowing 6.1-channel playback of
regular stereo sources.
4. DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range,
high fidelity surround sound, from sources such as
laser disc, DVD and specially-encoded music
discs.
5. Dolby Digital
Using advanced digital processing algorithms,
Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-
range, high fidelity surround sound. Dolby Digital
is the default digital audio delivery system for DVD
and North American DTV.
6. Dolby Pro Logic II decoder
Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing
multi-channel audio signals that offers
improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic.
It can be used to decode not only sources
recorded in Dolby Surround but also regular stereo
sources into five channels (front left/right, center
and surround left/right). In addition, various
parameters can be set according to the type of
source and the contents, so you can adjust the
sound field with greater precision.
7. Dolby Digital EX decoder system
Dolby Digital EX is a 6.1-channel surround format
proposed by Dolby Laboratories that allows users
to enjoy in their homes the “DOLBY DIGITAL
SURROUND EX” audio format jointly developed
by Dolby Laboratories and Lucas Films and first
used for the movie “Star Wars Episode 1 –
Phantom Menace”.
The 6.1 channels of sound, including surround
back channels, provide improved sound
positioning and expression of space.
8. Wide screen mode for a 7.1-channel sound
even with 5.1-channel sources
DENON has developed a wide screen mode with
a new design which recreates the effects of the
multi surround speakers in movie theaters. The
result is 7.1-channel sound taking full advantage of
surround back speakers, even with Dolby Pro
Logic or Dolby Digital/DTS 5.1-channel signals.

Multi Source Function:
This unit’s Multi Source function lets you select
different audio sources for listening Different
sources can thus be enjoyed in the main room
(MAIN) and the subroom (ZONE 2)
simultaneously.
10. Component Video Switching
In addition to composite video and “S” video
switching, the AVR-2803 provides 2 sets of
component video (Y, P
B/CB
, PR/CR) inputs, and one
set of component video outputs to the television,
for superior picture quality.
11. Video Select Function
Allow you to watch one source (visual) while
listening to another source (audio).
