Denon AVR-2000 (1993)
Documentation on the Denon AVR-2000 is thin. The model shows up in one period source: a New Products notice in HiFI-Stereo (March 1993, p.16). It called the AVR-2000 a Dolby Pro Logic AV receiver built around a high-performance Pro Logic decoder chip. Denon claimed the chip made surround decoding more accurate. The notice rated the receiver at 80 watts to each of the three front channels - left, center, and right - and 25 watts to each of a pair of surround speakers.
The announcement included a price, but the digitized copy cuts off before the figure survives, so the original retail price is not currently known. No service manual, user guide, or independent test report has surfaced. Beyond that one product notice, the record goes quiet. If you own an AVR-2000 or have original documentation, the Archive would welcome a record.
Known from the product announcement:
- Dolby Pro Logic surround decoding
- 80 W/ch front left, center, and right
- 25 W/ch surround left and right
