DVD/Receiver Features
System Components: The Denon S-302 DVD Home
Entertainment System consists of three main components:
the ADV-S302 DVD Player/Receiver, the DSW-S302 Powered Subwoofer, and two SC-S302 Speakers.
The system comes supplied with two 16' lengths of speaker wire with proprietary
gold-plated connectors on each end.
Noise Shaped Video (NSV): The
NSV precision video feature works in the digital domain to reduce noise in the
video signal frequency band in order to enhance video signal linearity, provide
accurate signal representations, and enhance the picture quality. Noise shaping
techniques can be combined with dynamic element matching techniques in order to
reduce the matching requirements of DAC elements by converting the analog
mismatch into and out of band noise. This approach of dynamic element matching
and noise shaping has been shown to allow the use of sigma delta modulation at
video data rates. NSV can achieve ultimate precision with 12-bit fidelity in
both digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital domains.
DVD Upconversion: The integrated DVD
player will upconvert standard 480i DVD signals to 480p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p
via its HDMI monitor output in order to match the resolution of your television.
Video Conversion: This function
automatically converts various formats of video signals input to the S-320 into
the format used to output the video signals from the S-320 to your TV. The
S-320's video input/output circuitry is compatible with the following types of
video signals.
- Composite: can be
converted to S-video, component and HDMI
- S-Video: can be converted
to composite, component and HDMI
- Component: can be

AL24: Like most of Denon's home
theater receivers, the ADV-S302 uses AL24 Processing to further reduce
quantization distortion and senses the nature of the digital data being input
and interpolates the data to faithfully replicate the original analog waveform.
AL24 operates when PCM, MP3 or WMA data is input.
HDCD Decoder: This unit is
equipped with an HDCD (High Definition Compatible Digital) decoder which allows
20-bit data to be converted into the 16-bit data of current CDs with no loss of
sound quality. HDCD-compatible discs are automatically recognized, and playback
is optimized by Denon's digital technology to provide a superior
high-definition, low distortion sound quality.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ: Audyssey Dynamic EQ
is a technology that automatically corrects the tonal balance of an audio system
when the volume is changed. It is based on psychoacoustic research that better
matches to human perception than other loudness compensation that was used
before. The tonal balance is adjusted continuously with variation in both
program material and volume setting.
Personal Memory Plus: The receiver has a
personal memorization function that automatically memorizes the surround modes
and input modes selected for the different input sources. When the input source
is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are
automatically recalled. The surround parameters, tone control settings, and
playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for each
surround mode.
Audio Modes: The Denon S-302
system offers the following audio modes.
- Dolby Virtual Speaker: The
ADV-S302 integrated DVD/Receiver uses Dolby Virtual Speaker technology to create a virtual surround
sound field using only two speakers for the front channels, allowing you to
experience sound as if surround speakers were actually being used. The virtual
surround speakers are accurately positioned at 105° to the left and right of the
listener. Dolby Digital and DTS multi-channel programs are played according to
the producer's intentions with sound from the center, rear left, and rear right
channels directed to the center, left, and right "virtual" speakers. Two
listening modes are available: Reference and Wide.
- Dolby Headphone: Dolby
Headphone is a 3D sound technology for achieving surround sound using regular
headphones. Dolby Headphone simulates speaker playback in a room and positions
the sound sources to the front or the sides, outside of the head, achieving a
sound similar to that of a movie theater or home theater. The Dolby Headphone
mode can be used with multi-channel sources (Dolby Digital and DTS), as well as
stereo programs. You can select Dolby Headphone or Dolby Headphone Bypass for a
normal stereo playback.
- Cinema: When the Dolby
Headphone mode is selected, analog , PCM or other 20-channel sources are
decoded in the Dolby Pro Logic II Cinema mode and transformed into
multiple channels for playback.
- Music: When the Dolby
Headphone mode is selected, analog, PCM or other 2-channel sources are
decoded in the Dolby Pro Logic II Music mode and transformed into
multiple channels for playback.
- Rock Arena: This mode
achieves the atmosphere of a live concert in an arena with reverberations
circling in from the sides.
- Jazz Club: This mode
achieves the atmosphere of a live convert hall with a low ceiling surrounded
by hard walls, as if the artist were playing very close to you.
- Stereo/Direct Mode: The receiver has a
Direct Mode which plays back analog input signals without DSP processing. When
turned off, the analog input signals are converted to digital to undergo DSP
processing.

Speaker Features
Satellite Speakers: The
video-shielded SC-S302 satellite speakers feature two 3.15" (8 cm) cone mid-bass
driver and a 0.787" (2 cm) tweeter in an acoustic suspension enclosure. Each
speaker includes a wall-mount bracket and an easel-type table-top stand. The
wall-mount bracket has two "keyhole" slots, and mounts the speakers
approximately 5/16" from the wall. With the table-top stand attached the
speakers have the following dimensions: Width = 5.245", Height = 12.9375", Depth
= 7.555". If you prefer, the satellites can be wall or ceiling mounted using
aftermarket brackets. There are three threaded inserts (M5) on the back of the
speaker in a horizontal line, one in the center and one 1-3/16" (30mm) to each
side.
Speaker Terminals: The supplied
speaker wires have proprietary gold-plated terminals on each end. The terminals can be
removed and placed on other speaker wires if desired. A hex wrench is
provided for loosening and tightening the set screws on the terminals.
Subwoofer: The DSW-S302
subwoofer has a side-firing 6.3" (16 cm) cone driver in a bass reflex enclosure
with a down-firing port, powered by a 100 watt amplifier. The subwoofer provides
the power for the entire system, including 50 watts to each of the satellite speakers, and AC power to the DVD
player/receiver via the supplied system cable.
Audyssey BassXT: Audyssey
BassXT is a solution to extend bass performance to lower frequencies without
increasing cabinet size, driver size or weight. BassXT actively monitors the
incoming low frequency signal and drives subwoofers to their maximum capability
at all volumes, thereby producing deep bass at all volume levels. This allows
the subwoofer to play low bass content when it can and protects it only for the
few time when it can't. It is not like simple bass boost or tone control as the
system is fully customized for each speaker design by DSP processing and works
in real time.
