■ 5 Channel/ 7 Channel Stereo Mode
DENON's popular 7 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 7 speakers. This 7
Channel Stereo mode was originally developed by DENON to enhance music lovers'
enjoyment with home theater ambience.
■ 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 spa-
cious surround sound enhancements to your favorite music and video sources, and
include these distinctly different sounding effects:
1. 5 / 7 Channel Stereo 5. Video Game
2. Virtual Surround 6. Matrix
3. Rock Arena 7. Mono Movie
4. Jazz Club
■ Adjustable Cross-Over Switching
The AVR-686 supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 8 cross-over
frequencies: 40/60/80/100/120/150/200/250Hz. This lets you more accurately
match the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the main speaker system.
■ Audio Delay Function (0 - 200 msec.)
Audio delay function corrects slight lags between sound and picture that can occur
when a video signal is processed, such as in a Progressive Scan DVD player or out-
board video processor.
■ Component video circuits which maintain flat response up to 100MHz,
ensuring sharp image quality
■ Video Up/Down conversion function
(Composite <-> S-Video, Composite -> S-Video/Component)
