| 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-1906 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 a large heatsink made of extruded aluminum. It is placed in a design that ensures mostly uniform temperatures throughout the heatsink. This will ensures that all channels respond with equal performance to the demands of the audio signals. | |  | | |
Fully Discrete, Equal Power 7 Amplifier Channels, 80 Watts Each
| Front | 80 W + 80 W | (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD) | | Center | 80 W | (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD) | | Surround | 80 W + 80 W | (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD) | | Surround Back | 80 W + 80 W | (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD) | <> | | | For optimum Dolby Digital and dts reproduction, the AVR-1906 features high quality, wideband audio amplification, providing 80 watts power output for each of the seven main channels. A large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer along with discrete power output devices on all 7 amplifier channels for highest dynamic range and superb reproduction clarity. | | |
Wide-Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
The power amp circuits of the AVR-1906 have been meticulously designed to reproduce the exceptionally high sound quality with wide frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz.
Dual Channel Surround Back Power Amp for 7.1 Surround
The AVR-1906 is equipped with a total of 7 power amps including 2 for the Surround Back channel speaker to give you more clearly defined sound localization at the rear for 6.1-channel surround sources such as DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1, Dolby Digital EX, and DTS-ES NEO:6.
Assignable surround back (L/R) amplifiers for front (L/R) channel bi-amping
Amplifiers initially reserved for Surround back (L/R) channels can be asigned to bi-wire Front (L/R) channels to improve playback quality in the front for enhanced listening enjoyment.
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-1906 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 IIx, Dolby Digital EX and DTS surround modes)
Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation
The AVR-1906 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.
On Screen Display
The AVR-1906 lets you make system settings via diaplays on your TV screen from the comfort of your chair.
Acclaimed Customization Feature
As with all of DENON’s high-grade A/V receiver, the AVR-1906 lets you adjust speaker configuration, delay times and other parameters so that you can customize the performance of the AVR-1906 to suit your own home theater and enhance operating ease. 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
DENON's Latest Surround Technology Faithfully Recreates the
Surround Sound Produced at the Dubbing Stage.
• DTS 96/24 Decoding for DVD-Video
• DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1
• DTS NEO:6 • Dolby Digital EX • Dolby Pro Logic IIx
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. | | Adjustable Cross-Over Switching
The AVR-1906 supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 8 crossover frequencies: 40/60/80/100/120/150/200/250 Hz. This lets you more accurately match the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the main speaker system.
Audio Delay Function (0 - 200msec.)
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 outboard video processor.
Component video circuits which maintain flat response up to 100MHz, ensuring sharp image quality
