An 8-page fold-out brochure designed to show off the looks of DENON AVC-3000G and AVC-3000 - 5-channel AV amplifiers with Dolby Pro Logic under the slogan “重低音が床を這う エキサイティング520W” (heavy bass crawls along the floor, exciting 520W). The top AVC-3000G has a gold chassis with wooden side cheeks and an S³ learning remote in the box for ¥137,000, the simpler AVC-3000 is black for ¥128,000 - the internals are identical. Total power 520W: front 150W×2 at 6Ω, center 90W at 3Ω, rear 65W×2 at 6Ω. The chassis is split into five shielded blocks (power, video-digital, control, audio inputs, output stages) - DENON’s proprietary A/V完全5分離構造. Digital delay from 0 to 30 ms in 5 ms steps, dual center mode, 10 surround modes, on-screen display via the VIDEO output. The inputs still cover vinyl, cassette, DAT, CD and LaserDisc - this is 1989, six years before DVD. The main spread opens up with a fold-out right panel of schematics - the same concept DENON would use a year later on the DTR-2000G.
