Denon AVR-5803A
Are you ready for staggering home theater power, impeccably precise processing, stunning sonic purity, and astounding A/V versatility? Then feast your eyes on Denon's AVR-5803A! With 170 full-bandwidth-rated watts x 7 channels, this powerhouse receiver sets incredible benchmarks for home theater and music performance. The '5803A has earned THX® Ultra2 certification by meeting Lucasfilm Ltd.'s ultra-strict standards for 7.1-channel audio performance and cinematic accuracy. That means it's equipped with exclusive THX Ultra2 digital processing enhancements designed to make the best possible use of all your home theater speakers with the widest variety of music and movie sources. Of course, the '5803A can handle any surround format you throw its way. THX Surround EX™, Dolby® Digital EX, and DTS-ES® decoding are all performed with supreme precision by dual 32-bit SHARC processors. This is also one of the first receivers to feature Dolby Pro Logic® IIx processing, which can turn any stereo or surround source into enveloping 7.1-channel sound. Denon's DDSC-Digital construction treats your audio to a series of single-function circuit blocks. With D/A conversion, A/D conversion, surround decoding, and other DSP each handled by its own dedicated block, every function is optimized, and so is your sound! Scrupulous isolation of each block also ensures ultra-rigorous standards of signal purity. Digital-to-analog duties are delegated to 16 Burr-Brown 192kHz/24-bit DACs (two per channel!) in differential configuration. You even get 192kHz/24-bit A/D conversion, which enables bass management and digital processing of multichannel music sources like DVD-Audio and SACD. Built-in HDCD® decoding delivers the stunning sonic realism of 20-bit resolution on the thousands of HDCD-encoded CDs (there are probably more HDCD discs in your CD collection than you realize). And Denon's renowned ALPHA 24 employs sophisticated upsampling to add extra depth and dimension to your stereo digital sources. The AVR-5803A's three-room/three-source capability lets you and a housemate enjoy different A/V sources in two rooms simultaneously (home theater in main room, stereo A/V in the second), while another friend listens to stereo music in a third! Denon's video conversion lets you send all video signals to your main-room TV via a single S-video or component video connection. A paragon of forward-thinking Denon design, the AVR-5803A has an RS-232C port that enables software upgrades. It's also one of the very few receivers to offer Dolby Headphone processing, which lets you enjoy an incredible simulation of home theater sound via a pair of conventional headphones. Then there's decoding for DTS 96/24-encoded DVDs. This up-and-coming format enables video DVDs to deliver 5.1 soundtracks in the same high resolution that 5.1-channel DVD-Audio employs!
