Dolby Pro Logic II decoder
Enjoy 2-channel stereo recordings in stunning 5.1-channel surround playback. The Dolby Pro Logic II decoder reproduces dynamic 5.1-channel surround sound not only from normal 5.1-channel DVD but from 2-channel sources such as videos and CDs, too. Dolby Pro Logic II uses matrix decoding technology that has been dramatically improved over Pro Logic.

Dolby Digital and DTS decoders
Equipped with both Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1 channel decoding, the AVR-483 provides thrilling surround sound with the thousands of Dolby Digital and DTS encoded DVDs, as well as the growing library of DTS 5.1 channel music recordings available on CD.

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-483 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, and DTS surround modes.)

5-Channel Stereo mode:
Enon's popular 5-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 five speakers. This 5-channel stereo mode was originally developed by Enon to enhance music lovers' enjoyment of home theater ambience.

Virtual Surround mode:
Surround yourself with sensational 3D soundfield envelopment using just one pair of speakers. The AVR-483's Virtual Surround mode provides a dramatic psychoacoustic surround sound effect, using two speakers with Dolby Digital 5.1 encoded sources.

Denon DSP Surround modes add listening excitement:

Features:

Versatile Input and Output Terminals--Front Panel Inputs: The AVR-483's front panel includes 1 set of video audio and digital optical input terminals where you can easily connect your video camera, game machine, or other video or pure audio device.

Front A/B Speaker Terminals: Two sets of speaker terminals are provided for the main (left and right) speakers. This allows the use of a second pair of stereo speakers in another room in the home.

High-Grade Speaker Terminals (for speakers A): Large binding post speaker terminals has been provided for all 3 channels (FR, FL, C) to accommodate thick, high-grade speaker cables and banana plugs.

Personal Memory Plus, for easy operation: The AVR-483 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.

Multi-Function Preset Memory Remote Controller: 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.

Acclaimed Customization Feature: As with all of Denon's high-grade A/V receiver, the AVR-483 lets you adjust delay times and other parameters so that you can customize the performance of the AVR-483 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.
