The AVR-683 A/V receiver with Dolby Pro Logic II and powerful output of 110 watts per channel lets you enjoy multi-channel
home theater entertainment in a new dimension. In addition to Dolby Digital and DTS, you can now also enjoy existing Dolby
Surround programs and conventional stereo sources such as CD in convincing 5.1-channel likeness. And if you have only two
speakers, one for each stereo channel, you can use the AVR-683's Virtual Surround mode to give yourself the sensation of
being completely surrounded by sound as you would in a real theater.

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-683 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.
■
High-quality DSP
A high-quality 32-bit DSP “MELODY32” from Analog Devices has been
used in the DSP processor, placing the AVR-683 at a higher rank than
other models of this class in its ability to accurately decode and
reproduce the superior quality of Dolby Pro Logic II.
■
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-683 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)

enjoyment of home theater ambience.
