Equal Power Discrete Power Amplifier
Front
100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.07 % THD)
Center
100 W
(8 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.07 % THD)
Surround 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.07 % THD)
All five power amplifier channels feature discrete power out-
put devices, and all five amplifier channels provide equal power
with lowest distortion. Each channel is rated at 100 watts, into
8 ohms, 1 kHz, with no more than 0.07% THD. A hallmark of
Denon A/V component design, the equal power amplifier pro-
vides outstandingly accurate reproduction of motion picture
soundtracks and multi-channel music programs.

DDSC-Digital (Dynamic Discrete Surround
Circuit-Digital)
Since surround signals are all processed in the digital domain,
the AVR-97 is equipped with a newly-developed, sophisticated,
high-performance dual DSP circuit for the Dolby Digital, Dolby
Pro Logic, dts decoders, and Surround Simulator. The D/A con-
verters feature high resolution designs for all the Front L/R,
Center, Surround L/R, and Subwoofer channels. This combina-
tion of DSP and D/A converters works to bring out the tremen-
dous potential of Dolby Digital and dts sound. In addition, high
resolution A/D converters have been incorporated for the Dolby
Pro Logic decoder. The high sound quality of New DDSC-Digital
is due in part to the high-grade signal processing of the 24-bit,
96-kHz Digital Interface Receiver (DIR). The AVR-3300 not only
allows digital signals input from DVD and other advanced media
to pass directly to the DIR, it also processes them while preserv-
ing their integrity so that even the most delicate nuances of the
music, reflecting the emotions of the artists, are passed unfet-
tered to the dual digital signal processor (DSP).
