XV Colour is the latest colour standard that refers to the colour space of the picture and determines the range of colours that can be represented, not the number of colours. As an example, XV Colour determines how many shades of blue can be seen and allows for 1.8 times more colour gradient than the previous YCC colour standard.
Deep Colour compatibility technology processes the primary colours such as red, green and blue signals in 10-bit or 12-bit blocks instead of earlier 8-bit technologies. This higher bit technology eliminates a distortion effect known as banding and requires extra bandwidth to transfer the video signal to your TV or display monitor, including HDMI V1.3 connects and cable. Most of the major flat panel manufacturers are now making panels that are XV Colour and Deep Colour compliant. To achieve the best from these advanced technologies it is imperative that all devices be HMDI V1.3 compliant.
Other features of the The AVR-2309 receiver includes seven channels of 100 Watts of identical power into 8 ohms from 20Hz to 20kHz and supports the latest range of high-resolution surround sound decoding, including the new HD-audio formats from DTS-HD Master Audio to Dolby True HD.
The video section features Faroudja's DCDi video processing and up-conversion, 4 x V1.3a HDMI inputs with full 1080p scaling of all incoming analogue video, and 3 x wideband HD component video inputs offering composite/video and component to HDMI up-conversion, while HDMI signals pass through unaltered. It's the combination of these and Denon's high-picture quality circuitry that enhances enjoyment of existing DVDs.
