HDMI Video Upscaling to 1080p with
Faroudja DCDi Cinema
™
When it comes to video processing, Faroudja DCDi
Cinema offers several advantages. This processor
can accept any video signal, regardless of the source
resolution, and upscale it to 1080p to match the
native resolution of your high-definition display.
What’s more, DCDi Cinema effectively removes
video artifacts such as jagged edges during the
video signal deinterlacing process. You get to enjoy
smooth progressive scan video images, even for
fast-moving sports and action scenes.
PLL (Phase Locked Loop) Jitter-Cleaning
Circuit Technology
Jitter is an unwanted side-effect of the digital-to-
analog conversion process. Caused by fluctuations
in the time domain of a digital signal, jitter has a
detrimental impact on perceived audio quality. PLL
jitter-cleaning circuit technology reduces jitter by
comparing the input and output phases of the digital
signal and creating an accurate clock waveform. This
enhances the precision of digital signal processing
and noticeably improves audio quality. Jitter-cleaning
technology works both for digital signals input via
HDMI and for digital signals converted from analog
signals inside the receiver itself.
Playback of Different Audio Sources in
Up to Three Rooms
With Powered Zone 2, you can enjoy surround-
sound entertainment in the main room, while
playing back a different stereo source in a second
zone equipped with a pair of speakers. Alternatively,
you can use the Zone 2 and Zone 3 pre-outs to
send separate, unamplified audio signals to amplifiers
(and speakers) in a second and third room.
Naturally, you also have the option of distributing
the same audio source to two or three zones
simultaneously.
Bi-Directional Preprogrammed RI
Remote Control with On-Screen Setup
and Macro Presets for Four Activities
The TX-NR808’s remote controller offers the
convenience of controlling a wide range of other
devices connected to the receiver. You can select
your connected devices from an on-screen list and
pre-program your desired settings for each device.
The receiver itself can then send these settings
automatically to the remote controller. Furthermore,
the TX-NR808 lets you set up macro presets for
up to four activity modes, which you can control
via mode-key LEDs on the remote controller. A
single button-press of “My Movie”, for example, can
simultaneously turn on the receiver, display, and
Blu-ray player to your pre-programmed settings and
start playing a disc automatically.
