Balanced XLR Auxiliary Inputs
In addition to the DN-A7100s 8 balanced line outputs, its thoughtfully equipped with a pair of stereo XLR inputs. Switchable between +4dB and -10dB input levels, these inputs are ideal for any source such as a professional CD player in a boardroom or an outboard microphone mixer in a conference hall.
Full-featured AV Source Switching
The DN-A7100 is not just a surround sound decoding preamp. It is a fullfeatured AV source switcher. All audio and video sources in an installation are easily hooked up to the rear of the unit and from the front panel, the included IR controller, or by RS-232, the end-user may easily select whichever source they wish to enjoy.
Source Video Switching with Convert to Component
Lets face it. Even in todays technically advanced systems, not all video components have high definition outputs. Many boardrooms still rely on source products like VCRs and analog TV tuners. There is nothing worse than having to run multiple video cables to a display. Well, thats OK. With the DN-A7100s convert to component feature, it does not matter which input your device hooks up to. Simply plug your TV tuner into the composite TV input and your S-VHS into the VCR S-video input, the DN-A7100 converts the signals to the component outputs, allowing you to only run one set of cables to the display.
Real Balanced Audio Outputs - No more adapters!
At the top of the DN-A7100 feature list is its 8 true balanced line-level outputs. In many professional applications, the main feature utilized in any AV switching product is its ability to decode digital surround sound signals and output them to their specific speaker output. The DN-A7100 is no exception. It is compatible the with most advanced surround sound formats and because of its unique design, the DN-A7100 is ideal for any installation that requires high-quality, channel separated audio outputs especially those installations where adapting unbalanced RCA preamp outputs is completely unacceptable (and it always is!) or the extra weight of ill-purposed, unused consumer power amps is not needed. Many installations now require surround sound decoding. From big deployments with many power amps driving line array speaker systems to small boardrooms and home theaters with active monitor systems, the Denon DN-A7100 is the affordable, professional choice.

7.1 direct audio inputs

Ensuring compatibility with any future component, audio format, or external equipment with decoded outputs (i.e. SACD, Blu-ray player, HDDVD player) is not a problem with the inclusion of the 7.1 direct audio inputs.

Controllability

The DN-A7100 is controllable via its included Infrared remote controller or by RS-232c serial control. A 9-pin D-Sub connector allows for integration into any installation with a Crestron or AMX control system.

No new player required: DTS 96/24 can be carried on DVD-video, or in the video zone of DVD-audio, accessible to all DVD players. 4. 96/24 5.1-channel sound with full-quality fullmotion video, for music programs and motion picture soundtracks on DVD-video. DTS and DTS 96/24 are trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is fully compatible with Dolby Surround Pro Logic technology and can optimally decode the thousands of commercially available Dolby Surround encoded video cassettes and television programs with enhanced depth and spatiality. It can also process any high-quality stereo or Advanced Resolution 5.1-channel music content into a seamless 6.1- or 7.1-channel listening experience. Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. Dolby, Pro Logic, and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
Dolby Digital identies the use of Dolby Digital audio coding for such consumer formats as DVD and DTV. As with lm sound, Dolby Digital can provide up to ve full-range channels for left, center, and right screen channels, independent left and right surround channels, and a sixth (.1) channel for low-frequency effects. Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is an improved matrix decoding technology that provides better spatiality and directionality on Dolby Surround program material; provides a convincing three-dimensional soundeld on conventional stereo music recordings; and is ideally suited to bring the surround experience to automotive sound. While conventional surround programming is fully compatible with Dolby Surround Pro Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to be encoded specically to take full advantage of Pro Logic II playback, including separate left and right surround channels. (Such material is also compatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders.) Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done using a matrix decoder that derives three surround channels from the two in the original recording. For best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with movies soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital Surround EX. About Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology delivers a natural and immersing 7.1-channel listening experience to the home theater environment. A product of Dolbys expertise in surround sound and matrix decoding technologies, Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a complete surround sound solution that maximizes the entertainment experience from stereo as well as 5.1-channel encoded sources.
The advantages of discrete multichannel systems over matrix are well known. But even in homes equipped for discrete multichannel, there remains a need for high-quality matrix decoding. This is because of the large library of matrix surround motion pictures available on disc and on VHS tape; and analog television broadcasts. The typical matrix decoder of today derives a center channel and a mono surround channel from twochannel matrix stereo material. It is better than a simple matrix in that it includes steering logic to improve separation, but because of its mono, bandlimited surround it can be disappointing to users accustomed to discrete multichannel. Neo:6 offers several important improvements as follow, Neo:6 provides up to six full-band channels of matrix decoding from stereo matrix material. Users with 6.1 and 5.1 systems will derive six and ve separate channels, respectively, corresponding to the standard home-theater speaker layouts. Neo:6 technology allows various sound elements within a channel or channels to be steered separately, and in a way which follows naturally from the original presentation. Neo:6 offers a music mode to expand stereo nonmatrix recordings into the ve- or six-channel layout, in a way which does not diminish the subtlety and integrity of the original stereo recording.

HDMI JACK

This unit has two HDMI inputs and one HDMI output. It can send digital video and audio signals from DVDs and other sources directly to a display. It minimizes signal degradation caused by analog conversion so that high quality images can be enjoyed. Select an input source from the OSD menu system. (See page 20) Notes: When the HDMI output is connected to a display monitor that does not support HDCP, signals are not output. To view images in HDMI, it is necessary to connect to a display that supports HDCP. There may be no image output if connected to a TV or display that is not compatible with the above format. Refer to the instruction manual of the TV or display to be connected to the DN-A7100 for detailed information regarding the HDMI terminal.
* HDCP: High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection
Disconnecting or connecting cables with the power on can damage the equipment. Turn the power off before disconnecting or connecting cables. Some DVD-Audio disks disable downmixing. These types of disks are not played back correctly unless the left, center, right and surround left and right speakers, and subwoofer are connected. If a DVD player that does not support HDMI 1.1 is connected to the DN-A7100, multi channel PCM playback is not possible even with DVD-Audio disks. If a DVD player or other device with DVI output is connected to the DN-A7100, a separate audio cable (optical-digital, coaxial digital or analog) is needed for the audio signals. In this case, select the connected audio input as explained in 1 INPUT SETUP. (See page 20) Multi channel PCM signals and audio signals of 62 kHz or higher that are input from the HDMI jack are not output from the DIGITAL OUT jacks. Depending on the quiality of the cable used, the HDMI signal may be affected by noise. Audio units that use sampling frequencies of 128 kHz and above are not supported.

CONNECTING HDMI DEVICES

An HDMI cable (sold separately) is used to connect the HDMI jack on the DN-A7100 with the HDMI jack on a DVD player, TV, projector or other component. To transmit multichannel audio via HDMI, the connected player must support multichannel audio transmission through its HDMI jack. HDMI video streaming is compatible with DVI in principle. Therefore, it is possible to connect to a TV or monitor that has a DVI terminal using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable or plug. When connecting to a DVI terminal, connect the audio signal separately. Notes: Some HDMI components can be controlled over the HDMI cable, but this receiver cannot control other components this way. When connected to a monitor (i.e., TV, projector, etc.) that does not support HDCP, video and audio are not output. DVI cables come with 24-pin and 29-pin plugs. This receiver supports 24-pin DVI-D cables; 29-pin DVI cables cannot connect to it. Some source devices such as DVD players does not support HDMI repeater like those of the DN-A7100. In such case, pictures are not properly projected on monitors such as TVs and projectors. When multiple components are connected to this receiver, turn power to unused components off to prevent interference between them.

In such cases, change the setting to DIGITAL.

2 SPEAKER SETUP

After you have installed the DN-A7100, connected all the components, and determined the speaker layout, it is now time to perform the settings in the Speaker Setup menu for the optimum sound acoustics for your environment and speaker layout. Before you perform the following settings, it is important that you first determine the following characteristics:
SUBWOOFER: YES: Select when a subwoofer is connected. NONE: Select when a subwoofer is not connected. FRONT L/R LARGE: Select if the front speakers are large. SMALL: Select if the front speakers are small. If NONE is selected for the Subwoofer setting, then this setting is xed to LARGE. CENTER NONE: Select if no center speaker is connected. LARGE: Select if the center speaker is large. SMALL: Select if the center speaker is small. SURROUND L/R NONE: Select if no surround left and right speakers are connected. LARGE: Select if the surround left and right speakers are large. SMALL: Select if the surround left and right speakers are small. SURR. BACK NONE: Select if no surround back left and right speakers are connected. 2CH: Select if the surround back left and right speakers are connected. 1CH: Select if the one surround back speaker is connected. In this case, the audio signal is emitted form the Surround back L output terminal. Notes: If NONE is selected for the Surround L/R setting, then this setting is xed to NONE.

SURR.MODE: Select the desired surround mode with the 1 or 2 cursor buttons. HT-EQ: Select to active the HT-EQ with the 1 or 2 cursor buttons. The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home. This is because lm soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie theater environments. Activating the HT-EQ feature when watching a lm made for movie theaters corrects this and restores the correct tonal balance. The HT-EQ feature is available except in the following modes. 7.1 CH INPUT PURE-DIRECT When VIRTUAL is set for the surround mode LFE LEVEL: Select the output level of the LFE signal included in the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal. Select 0 dB, -10 dB or OFF with the 1 or 2 cursor buttons. After you complete this portion of the set up, move the cursor to MAIN with the 3 or 4 cursor buttons and press the ENTER button.
You can select MAIN ROOM, REMOTE or DISABLE by pressing 1 or 2 cursor buttons.

Panorama wraps the sound of the front left and right speakers around you, for an exciting perspective. DIMENSION: Set the Dimension level between +3 and 3 level in 1 level intervals with the 1 or 2 cursor buttons. Adjust the soundeld either towards the front or towards the rear. This can be useful to help achieve a more suitable balance from all the speakers with certain recordings. CENTER WIDTH: Set the Center width level between 0 and 7 in 1 level intervals with the 1 or 2 cursor buttons. Center Width allows you to gradually spread the center channel sound into the front left and right speakers. At its widest setting, all the sound from the center is mixed into the left and right. This control may help achieve a more spacious sound or a better blend for the front image. If NONE was selected for the Center speaker setting, in the Speaker size set up menu, then this setting will not appear. After you complete this portion of the set up, move cursor to MAIN with the 3 or 4 cursor buttons and press the ENTER button.

dts MODE

(dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music) This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such as LASER DISC, CD, and DVD. Neo:6 is for some 2 channel sources. dts : This mode is enabled when playing source materials encoded in dts multichannel. Playing multichannel encoded 5.1-channel dts sources provides five main audio channels (left, center, right, surround left and surround right) and Low Frequency Effect channel. dts-ES decoding is not available in this mode. The DTS mode cannot be used when an analog input has been selected.

2 MODE

Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music This mode decodes 2-channel signals into 6channel signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology. The DTS NEO:6 decoder has near-discrete properties in the frequency characteristics of the channels as well as in channel separation. According to the signals to be played back, DTS NEO:6 uses either the NEO:6 CINEMA mode optimized for movie playback or the NEO:6 MUSIC mode optimized for music playback.
CSII-Mono mode This mode plays back monaural recordings from any source, including CDs, DVDs and TV and radio broadcasts in compelling 6.1-channel surround. Notes: CS II mode is available for 2ch input signals which are encoded in Dolby Digital or PCM format. PCM-audio signals can be subjected to Pro Logic processing when the sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz.

CAUTION

NOTE for DTS signal * Connected DVD player, laserdisc player or CD player needs to support DTS digital output. You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the player to the DN-A7100 digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency or frequency response), and the DN-A7100 cannot recognize the signal as DTS data. * Depending on the player used, DTS play may produce a short noise. This is not a malfunction. * While signals from a DTS laserdisc or CD are playing in another surround mode, you cannot switch to digital input or from digital input to analog input from the INPUT SETUP in the MAIN MENU or by pressing the A/D button. * The outputs for VCR OUT, TAPE OUT, and CD-R/ MD OUT output analog audio signals only. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise. NOTE for Dolby Digital Surround EX signal * When playing Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software in 6.1 channels, it is required to set the EX/ES mode. * Note that some of Dolby Digital Surround EX-encoded software does not contain the identication signal. In this case, set the EX/ES mode manually. NOTE for 96kHz PCM audio * AUTO, PURE-DIRECT, and STEREO modes can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from DVDVideo discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio). If such signals are input during playback in one of the other surround modes, output from DN-A7100 will be muted. * Certain DVD player models inhibit digital output. For details, refer to the players operation manual. * Some DVD formatted discs feature copy protection. When using such disc, 96 kHz PCM signal is not output from the DVD player. For details, refer to the players operation manual.
