Denon Avr-987 / 2807 7.1 A/V Surround Receiver + 1 Year Warranty
[DEN9-AVR987]

Power up your home theater with the Denon AVR-987 surround sound receiver, which offers seven discrete amplifier channels (110 watts apiece, for 770 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-987 offers two zones. It's 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.

The AVR-987 is equipped with two HDMI inputs as well as one HDMI output, allowing the selection of multiple digital video signals (up to 1080p). The HDMI terminals also accept multi-channel digital audio input and the input signals can be output via amps. It also includes a video up/down conversion function that allows the receiver to be connected to the video monitor via a single cable regardless of the video input signal's format:

• - Composite video signals are converted to HDMI, component, and S-Video
• - S-Video signals are converted to HDMI, component video, and composite video
• - Component video signals are converted to HDMI

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.

Cinema Equalizer
The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS, or other formats emphasizes high-frequency range due to a theater's front speakers being placed behind the movie screen. If this sound is reproduced in the home theater without correction, the high-frequency range is too strong. The AVR-987 receiver's Cinema Equalizer feature corrects these high-frequency components so that the sound is clearer and easier to listen to when using Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital EX and DTS surround modes.
