Marketing Information |
For thrilling surround sound, the AVR-890
features the latest high resolution audio decoders, including Dolby
TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, and is among the first to incorporate
Dolby Pro Logic IIz, which provides a dramatic expansion of the front
soundstage by deriving additional front channel height effects. To
ensure top audio fidelity, the AVR-890 features Audyssey MultEQ room
acoustic measurement and correction which analyzes speaker system
characteristics at up to six measurement points and the room’s
acoustics, and instantly adjusts multiple parameters for optimum
speaker/room matching (measurement microphone included). Audyssey
Dynamic Volume prevents annoying volume jumps due to loud commercials
between program breaks, and Audyssey Dynamic EQ ensures a rich, smooth
tonal balance at any volume level. For optimum video quality, the
AVR-890 features state-of-the-art video processing via Anchor Bay VRS
ABT-2010, which provides analog to digital video upconversion as well as
HDMI to HDMI upconversion, outputting at up to full 1080p HD (24p/60p).
Multiple HD-compatible inputs include five HDMI inputs and two component
inputs for maximum HD connectivity. |
