AL24 Processing
AL24 Processing is a newly developed technology that reduces quantization distortion and represents the ultimate analog waveform reproduction that is designed to support the higher numbers of bits and higher sampling rate of next-generation media. It senses the nature of the digital data being input and interpolates the data so that it faithfully replicates the original analog waveform.

ASD-1R
The Denon ASD-1R (and the newer ASD-11R released in 2008 both sold separately) is a convenient iPod docking station compatible with this Denon component. Charging, iPod control, and playback of audio and video content is possible, and is dependent on each device's capabilities.

Directional Correlation De-interlacing (DCDi)
DCDi is a specialized video processing developed by Faroudja that involves advanced algorithms to remove the jagged edges that appear when standard interlaced video is viewed on progressive scan displays. DCDi converts standard interlaced signals into progressive scan signals in order to eliminate the stair casing effect that conventional up-converters can introduce to diagonal edges.

Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital consists of up to 5.1 channels – front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and an additional channel exclusively reserved for additional deep bass sound effects. Dolby Digitals main channels can all contain full range sound information, from the lowest bass, up to the highest frequencies – 22 kHz. The signals within each channel are distinct from the others, allowing pinpoint sound imaging and tremendous dynamic range from the most powerful sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and distortion.

dts Digital Surround
dts Digital Surround (also called simply dts) is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems. dts is a 5.1-channel surround sound format that is available in movie theaters, and as an optional soundtrack on some DVD-Video movies for home theater viewing. The primary advantage of dts is that it offers higher data rates, leading many home theater enthusiasts to claim the sound quality for movie or music audio tracks to be closer to the original master recordings.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
This is a digital interface standard for next generation television developed based on the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) used for computer displays and optimized for use in non-professional equipment. With it, non-compressed digital video and multi-channel audio signals can be transferred with a single connector, eliminating the need to use separate cables for picture and sound and making it possible to make connectors smaller. HDMI is compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection), a technology for protecting copyrights that encrypts digital video signals.

Made For iPod
The Made for iPod mark signifies that this product has been designed to work with iPod devices either through docking stations or connection cables. Available features will be dependant on the products used.

MP3 (MPEG 1, Audio Layer 3)
MP3 is considered one of the most popular codec (encoder/decoder) for storing and transferring music. Though it employs a "lossy" compression system that removes signal components judged to be inaudible, MP3 still manages to deliver reasonable sound quality in files that are 80 to 90% smaller than comparable uncompressed WAV files. You can select varying amounts of compression when creating MP3 files.

WMA (Windows Media Audio)
WMA is an audio compression format developed with Microsoft technology. It claims to offer the highest quality sound available in the industry. Becoming a standard audio compression format, rivaling the popularity of MP3, WMA is used to compress a music CD on a computer with an equivalent quality of sounds to that of the original CD (when using Encoder 9).
