Manufacturer's Description
Multi Source / Multi Zone Audio Video Receiver features XM ready and, iPod Command and Control capability
The DRA-397 AM/FM receiver offers high-performance operation, functionality and affordability, all in a single unit. It includes a
Video Select feature that lets you control a variety of video and audio signals, a set PRE OUT jacks that lets you listen to
music in a sub-room as well as the main room, and it supports room-to-room remote control. Denon is well known for its
uncompromising approach to sound quality and the DRA-397 is no exception thanks to the meticulous Denon-developed circuitry
and the Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC) chassis that prevents mutual interference among the circuits.
High-quality Power Amplifier
With 80 watts of power per channel (at 8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08% THD), the
DRA-397 delivers solid, reliable audio performance even when driving both A and B
speaker systems at the same time.
Signal Level Divided Construction Chassis Design
The circuit handling low-level signals has been divided into separate blocks to
ensure that influences from these signals on each other are held to an absolute
minimum. This new chassis design, known as the Signal Level Divided
Construction (SLDC), preserves the purity of the signal, allowing it to be reproduced
with much greater fidelity and clarity.
