Keep
Everyone Happy
It's Sunday afternoon. Dad and son want to watch football, Mom wants to
check out the latest comedy flick, and sister wants to listen to her
new CD. Let the battle begin, right? Not any more. Expand your horizons
to three zones from three sources with the Denon S302. Get
digital-to-analog conversion for multi-zone output, dual component
outputs, and a second video zone from your new receiver. With two
audio/video zones and an additional audio zone, the possibilities are
endless. With your new Denon, everybody's happy. The Denon S302 lets
your family watch or listen to just about anything with its extensive
neworking capabilities. With additional products not included, you can
listen to audio, view photos, and watch video from your iPod, look at
pictures and enjoy tunes from a network via either Wi-Fi or firewire,
or listen to XM Satellite Radio, in addition to your current A/V
components. With the connectivity of this receiver, no media is beyond
your reach, and now everybody can enjoy it in peace.
Simplify
Your Life, Dock Your iPod Here
Life is complicated. Let the Denon S302 DVD entertainment system
simplify things. Here's the one-box solution to your audio/visual
needs, combining great sound — from just two stereo speakers
and a powered subwoofer — with stunning DVD visual
performance, all with far less clutter. Not only does this system
perform incredibly well, but it's designed with a visual flare that
allows it to fit seamlessly into any home decor. But wait, there's
more. As the iPod culture continues to grow, manufacturers are
increasingly looking to integrate Apple's all-conquering device into
their music systems. This system can digitally sync with any docking
iPod with the supplied plug-and-play cable; and once connected, all
basic iPod functions, including volume control, menu navigation, play,
stop, and skip, can be accessed onscreen (with a connected TV) via the
Denon remote. iPod Photo pictures can be displayed; and you're also
able to recharge your iPod while it's connected. So you won't have to
miss a note of your music regardless of the source, any other portable
audio device can be connected to the USB port or the analog 3.5 mm
headphone mini-jack on the S302's front panel.
Realistic
Surround Sound From Just Two Speakers
Denon's S302 is one of the first DVD systems in the world to include
Dolby Virtual Speaker, the latest revolutionary virtual surround sound
format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Virtual Speaker is a highly
sophisticated audio virtualization technology that makes it possible to
enjoy natural, realistic 5.1-channel surround sound from just two
stereo speakers. Virtual Speaker transforms TV, movies, and music into
a thrilling surround sound experience, without additional speakers or
wire clutter. Using highly advanced, powerful algorithms and extensive
room-modeling technologies, Virtual Speaker can duplicate multiple,
complex sonic signatures in their entirety, from the initial impulse to
the final decay, including reflections that naturally occur in a
properly placed 5.1-channel environment. Also, Virtual Speaker employs
crosstalk cancellation to keep the surround cues for each ear from
being cancelled by cues from the other speaker. This makes Virtual
Speaker different from most other virtual systems on the market today.
Other systems limit their processing to direct sound, ignoring 99% of
what is needed to deliver an accurate, natural home theater experience.
As a result, these systems don't begin to approach the realism achieved
by Virtual Speaker. For private listening, there's Dolby Headphone
technology that works by creating an acoustic illusion: it makes you
think you're hearing a five-speaker home theater system, when in fact
you're listening over ordinary stereo headphones.
Lots
Of High Performance Features
The 302's single-disc DVD player/amplifier/tuner/control center is
loaded with features aimed at delivering the highest performance. The
DVD player is compatible with DVD, DVD-Audio, DVD-/+R/RW, CD, SACD,
CD-R/RW, JPEG, MP3, WMA formats and decodes Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro
Logic II, and DTS signals. Digital signal processing is handled by a
Genesis Microchip Faroudja FLI2310 DCDi (Directional Correlational
Deinterlacing) chipset usually found only on higher end receivers. DCDi
fills in the missing lines in interlaced video. It produces fewer
jaggies in diagonal transitions than other methods by analyzing motion
changes in both the even- and odd-numbered video fields. Digital to
analog conversion is 216 MHz/12-bit for video and 96 kHz/24-bit
(Burr-Brown PCM-1803) for audio. There's selectable progressive scan
mode for smoother video with high definition TVs and video upconversion
to HDMI output. A full array of audio/video connections including
composite video, S-Video, component video, HDMI output, optical and
coaxial digital audio, and headphone mini-jack let you connect just
about any other component. The amplifier sends 50 watts of power to
each of the 2-way, dual 3.15" mid-bass and 0.75" polyethermide tweeter
stereo speakers, while low frequency effects are produced by an 7.87"
cone driver, 100-watt, powered subwoofer. And for radio listening, a
PPL synthesized AM/FM tuner offers 56 station presets and will receive
RDS (Radio Data System, FM stations only) program type, traffic
program, and radio text information if available in your area.
Help
Is Just One Key Away
All the S302's advanced features would lose their appeal if they were
difficult to access and control; fortunately, Denon designed the
dual-faced remote control to be uniquely easy to use. Besides the DVD
player/tuner, it can control your TV, satellite receiver, cable box,
VCR, and more. Its illuminated top panel keys access the functions
you'll use the most — such as power, play, and volume
control; and by turning the remote over and opening a cover, you can
access additional functions that you'll use less often. The HELP key on
the remote is a particularly handy feature for easy switching among the
different components in your system. Pushing HELP brings up an onscreen
display (on a connected TV) that tells you what your options are based
on which components are connected and what kind of disc is in the DVD
player. All you have to do is scroll through friendly,
easy-to-understand options — like Watch TV, Watch DVD, Listen
To Radio, Listen To iPod — and choose the one you want. It's
as easy as that.
Setup
By The Numbers
And what good is easy operation if you can't get the system hooked up
in the first place? That's why Denon engineers made initial system
setup as easy as 1, 2, 3 — well, actually 1, 2, 3, 4, but
who's counting. First, you connect the speakers to the subwoofer;
second, connect the subwoofer to the control center; third, connect the
control center to the TV; and finally, plug the subwoofer into a power
outlet. No wires to run to the sides and back of the room, no
complicated connections to make. The speakers are all magnetically
shielded for no-interference placement near a TV; and the stereo
speakers have included table stands, or you can wall-mount them with
the included hardware for an elegant, space-saving layout--the perfect
complement to today's flat-panel TVs.
