High Resolution Surround Sound

For the ultimate surround sound experience, the AVR-391 features a wide array of high resolution audio decoders, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, as well as Dolby Pro Logic IIx, which provides Music, Cinema and Game modes.

Quality Discrete Power Amplifier Section

The equal power amp design features 5 matched discrete power amp circuits, and each channel is rated at 75 watts (8 ohms, 20 Hz to 20 kHz, .08% THD).

3.5mm Front Panel Audio Input Jack

To fully enjoy your favorite portable audio tracks, the AVR-391 features a convenient 3.5mm stereo audio jack on the front panel, allowing quick and easy connection to your portable audio device. And, the AVR-391 features Denon’s exclusive Compressed Audio Restorer function, which completely re-constructs the full audio frequency range, restoring lost high frequency detail for the most natural and believable tonal balance.

Ergonomic Design Promotes Easy Control

With its programmable functions and intuitive button layout, the AVR-391 is designed to maximize ease of use. The front panel is smartly organized, featuring clearly-labeled buttons and onboard controls for volume and source. The AVR-391's remote can sync with other entertainment devices in your home theater, eliminating the need for additional remote controls. It can also be easily programmed with macro functions, giving you more flexibility in controlling your home theater.

Dock Connectivity for iPod and Network Streaming

Network music can be enjoyed via the optional Denon Networked Control Dock.

5-Channel Equal Power

5-Channel Equal Power connects 5 speakers independently without requiring separate power amps for the pre-outs. It complements Dolby Digital EX and dts ES sound modes, allowing you to connect the 'surround back' speaker straight off the main amplifier without adding a power amplifier to support 5.1 surround formats. With built-in separate internal amplifiers to power each channel independently, this feature allows you to enjoy the same high power output capability per channel, giving a balanced and truly high-impact surround-sound environment.
