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.

Multi Source / Multi Zone
The DRA397 has 2 source / 3 zone capability. Dedicated multi-room outputs, with
volume level adjustment via remote control, are provided for connection to powered
speakers or an additional amplifier in Zone 2 and Zone 3.

Zone 2 output : Analog audio L/R, Composite Video

Zone 3 output : Analog audio L/R, Composite Video

Custom Integrated

Remote in/out IR command control

Pre-memory remote and Zone remote

Video Select Function
Allows you to select a video source, and then select an alternate audio input source,
ideal for simulcasting, as well as watching TV sports programs while listening to radio
commentary.

ASD-1R Control Dock for iPod(R) (option): Supports iPod playback when connected to the DRA-397
iPod (*1) playback can be enjoyed through the DRA-397 when the ASD-1R, Denon's original Control Dock for iPod (sold separately), is connected to the dedicated control terminal of the DRA-397. The iPod can also be controlled via the remote controller supplied with the DRA-397. *1) Supports 3rd-generation and later iPods equipped with a Dock connector.

"This amp is a joke. Why Denon would build a two channel amp that sounds this bad is beyond me. I replaced it the next day with an NAD that was $100 less. "
