Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC) / Two Sets of Video, Inputs and Outputs / Radio Data System (RDS) / Radio Text (RT)

Solid, Reliable AMP

Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC)
The circuits handling low-level and high-level signals have been divided into separate blocks to ensure that influences from these signals on each other are held to an absolute minimum. This new chassis design in the DRA-375RD/275R is called the Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC). Signals for output are cleaner than before, allowing them to be reproduced with even greater fidelity and clarity.
High-Quality Power Amplifier Stage
Powerful high-speed transistors are used in a rational circuit configuration, reflecting DENON's advanced amplifier technology, to deliver a hefty, stable power output.
Two Sets of Video Inputs and Outputs
A new feature on a DENON receiver is the provision of video input and output terminals for you to connect a video device, such as a VCR or TV monitor. The DRA-375RD and DRA-275R include two sets of video input and output terminals (VCR, Video inputs and VCR, Monitor outputs).

Adjustable Loudness

Both of these receivers include a Variable Loudness equalization control which lets you select the most appropriate loudness setting at any volume.
Electronic Source Selection
Advanced electronic switches located close to the input terminals have replaced source selector-to-jack cables to further reduce sound quality deterioration.

Last Function Memory

When you turn off the power to either the DRA- 375RD or DRA-275R, the receiver automatically memorizes the settings, preserving the same condition for when you turn the receiver back on again.

3-Way Speaker Terminal

The speaker terminals on these receivers can accommodate banana plugs, spade plugs, or bare wire wrapping.

Note on speaker impedance
When using speakers with an impedance below the designated value (for example 4 /ohms), playing for long periods of time with the volume high could cause the temperature to rise, activating the protection circuit. When the protection circuit is activated, the output to the speakers is cut off and the power indicator blinks. If this happens, unplug the power cord, wait for the set to cool off and improve ventilation around the unit. Also check the wiring of the input cables and the speaker cables. After doing this, plug the power cord back in and turn the units power back on. If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the unit, switch off the power and contact a DENON service center.
