AL24: Like most of Denons home theater receivers, the ADV-S102 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 Denons 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-102 system offers the following audio modes.
- Dolby Virtual Speaker: The ADV-S102 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 producers 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-S102 satellite speakers feature a 3.15" (8 cm) cone mid-bass driver and a 0.98" (2.5 cm) high-range tweeter in an acoustic suspension enclosure. Each speaker includes an easel-type table-top stand that can be attached to the speaker using the supplied machine screws. Each speaker also has one "keyhole" slot, which allows you to mount the speakers to a wall with easel-type table-top stands removed. With the table-top stand attached, the speakers are tilted back approximately 75°, and have the following dimensions: Width = 5.25", Height = 10", Depth = 5.995".
Speaker Terminals: The supplied speaker wires have proprietary 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-S102 subwoofer has a side-firing 6.3" (16 cm) cone driver in a bass reflex enclosure with a down-firing port, powered by a 70 watt amplifier. The subwoofer provides the power for the entire system, including 35 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 cant. 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.
