Power up your home theater with the Denon AVR-787 surround sound receiver, which offers seven discrete amplifier channels (85 watts apiece, for 595 watts of total power). This includes for the surround back channel speakers to give you more clearly defined sound localization at the rear for 6.1-channel surround sources such as DTS-ES Discrete 6.1/Matrix 6.1/NEO:6 and Dolby Digital EX. The power amp circuits have been designed to reproduce exceptionally high sound quality with a wide frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz. Denon's multi-room entertainment system feature lets you select different audio sources for listening in different rooms, and the AVR-787 offers two zones. The AVR-787 is XM Radio ready (optional XM tuner required) and offers XM-HD surround sound. It's also compatible with Denon's ASD-1R control dock for iPods. It features a 56-station AM/FM/XM random preset memory tuning. For video connections, this receiver offers three sets of component video inputs that maintain a flat response up to 100 MHz to ensure sharp video quality, as well as three sets of S-Video switching and a front composite video input. It also offers a video up/down conversion function (composite to/from S-Video; composite to S-Video/component). With Denon's Auto Setup feature, you can confirm speaker phase, assess the size of all your speakers, measure speaker-to-listener distances, and balance speaker levels. With the included DM-S205 microphone placed in your favorite listening position, Auto Setup uses a test tone generator and proprietary programming to precisely balance speaker levels and fine-tune the delay settings for each speaker. The result is optimized system performance for your specific home theater room. You can customize the performance of this receiver to suit your home theater and enhance operating ease. Adjustments are easy to make via a dialog format on the fluorescent display on the front panel, and these customized settings are then stored, for each source input and surround mode, in a personal memory setting. Put yourself in the middle of your favorite concert hall and music environments with Denon's DSP acoustic environment simulation modes, which include jazz club, rock arena, video game, virtual surround, and mono movie.
