24 bit, 96 kHz All-channels Differential-mode D/A Conversion

For the optimum fidelity and transparency, the AVR-2803 features new high
resolution Analog Devices 24-bit, 96 kHz DACs, in 16-DAC differential config-
uration (2 D/A channels per each audio channel).

■ 

Newly redesigned pre-programmed remote controller with learning

feature

The AVR-2803 comes with a newly-developed remote controller with the
most frequently used keys layed out in the center and an easy-to-grip shape
and size.
- Preset Memory
- Learning functions
- System Call
- Glow Keys
- Supports independent Power On and Off commands

Support for Multi Zone Configurations

• The AVR-2803 provides a Multi Zone Output function and a Select function
that let you output different sources to multiple zones. Sources can be select-
ed for output to an additional zone, in addition to the main room. Multi-room
Zone 2 can have variable pre-amp output. The AVR-2803's Power Amplifier
Assign function lets you assign the 2 Surround Back (SB L/R) amplifier chan-
nels when the system is not configured for 7.1, to instead drive the Multi-
room Zone 2 speakers, with 90 Watts per channel output power, while still
providing 5 discrete amplifier channels to drive all speakers in a 5.1 config-
ured home theater room.
• +12 V Trigger Output
• Serial Control Port to support an AMX, Crestron integrated control system
• Remote IN/OUT

1 Set of 8-Channel External Analog Inputs

Other features that enhance operating ease

• Variable Gain Volume
S/N in the usable area has been improved. Finer adjustments are also possi-
ble in 0.5 dB steps across the extended range of –80 dB to +18 dB.
• Adjustable Cross-Over Switching
The AVR-2803 supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 5
cross-over frequencies: 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 Hz. This lets you more
accurately match the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the
main speaker system.
