Commentary

This AV amplifier uses New Super Optical Class A circuit to achieve purer sound reproduction.

DENON's unique New Super Optical Class A circuit is mounted on the power amplifier for front and center.
This circuit allows pure class A amplification up to the level of listening power, and non-switching class A amplification which is effective in improving crossover distortion and switching distortion at high output.
The high-speed bias control circuit controls the amplification method depending on the input level. An optical element is used to transmit the control signal from the bias control circuit to the power transistor bias circuit. This eliminates the interference between the main signal system and the bias control circuit, and achieves high-speed bias control.
F is the output stage.T20 MHz, Pc150W power transistor is used.

Dolby The DENON specially selected IC is used in the Pro-Logic Decoder to achieve low distortion, high S/N, and improved dynamic range.

In addition to the Dolby Pro Logic, it is equipped with "Theater" and "Live" by adaptive matrix and DSP sound field simulation, and "Mono Movie", "Classic Concert", "Rock Concert", "Church" and "Stadium" by which you can enjoy DSP presence with 4 parameters. Each mode can be finely adjusted according to your preference so that you can create a sound field according to your image.
In addition, there is a matrix which you can enjoy the effect of the speaker matrix.

The power supply section is equipped with a toroidal transformer that enables highly efficient regulation and reduction of leakage flux.

It is equipped with a AVSE circuit that amplifies the low range and realizes more powerful surround playback.
In addition, it is equipped with a cinema equalizer that improves movie software that emphasizes and records the dialogue of a person for a theater.

The CD/VDP audio circuit has a direct function with a mechanical relay.
The transmission system from the input to the output of the preamplifier section is kept as short as possible to achieve high sound quality in 2-channel stereo reproduction.

The built-in wide-aspect interface video selector automatically detects and adjusts the angle of view of standard and high-definition images.
It also has a built-in broadband video amplifier and a 4-channel discrete audio input.

Equipped with voice input Line 5 and voice + image input Line 5.
In addition, it has a Rec out select function.

It is equipped with simulcast playback function, on-screen display function and auto input balance function.

It comes with a learning remote controller with a pre-memory function that stores operation codes for DENON AV components and major domestic manufacturers' LD players, VCR, and TV.

In addition to the black color AVC-3030, there was the gold color AVC-3030G with side wood.
