Denon AVR-87 manual Hefty Power Transformer for Stable Supply of Power, Stable Speaker Drive

■Affordable, High-Performance Dolby Digital and DTS The AVR-87 gives you high-performance Dolby Digital

and dts at a price you can afford. With a fully discrete con- figuration for each of the unit’s five channels, the AVR-87’s Dolby Digital and dts decoder recreates the sound space of a video program in real-life 3D perspective, with an exciting sense of motion that accompanies the images on the screen.

■96 kHz, 24-bit Audio D/A Converters

■6-Channel External Input, for Future Multi-Channel Formats

■Separate Current Supplies for Circuits

The AVR-87 is equipped with a main transformer featuring independent 5-winding outputs, and a dedicated transformer for the microprocessor, to completely separate the power amplifier, audio, digital, video, and display circuits. This construction reduces noise interference among the circuits and ensures a clean, transparent sound.

■Hefty Power Transformer for Stable Supply of Power

A power transformer has been connected in the power section

where it is combined with a rectifier diode and a large block capacitor to ensure a large, stable supply of electrical current. Accordingly, the AVR-87 boasts high output power of 75 W for each of the 5 channels.

■Stable Speaker Drive

In the AVR-87, the circuitry through which current flows to

drive the speakers has been incorporated onto a single board between the rectifier circuit of the power source and the speaker terminals. A new phase correction circuit has also been adopted, eliminating the need for an output coil. Since this configuration allows the power transistor to drive the speakers directly, there is no loss of power to any of the channels. The sound that you hear is thus extremely stable as well as powerful.

■Video Select Switch

■All-channel Level Control

■Binding Post Speaker Terminals for All Channels

■Acclaimed Customization Feature

As with all of DENON’s high-grade A/V amplifiers, the AVR-87

lets you adjust delay times and other parameters so that you can customize the performance of the AVR-87 to suit your own home theater and enhance operating ease. The adjustments are easy to make via a dialog format on the fluorescent display.

■Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation

The AVR-87 includes the Personal Memory Plus function

that automatically remembers the surround mode you last used for each program source, so that you do not need to select the mode again for that program.

■Easy Operation with New Remote Controller

●Dot Matrix LCD (10 characters)

Since the LC display on the remote controller is a dot matrix type, the characters are easier to read, and up to 10 characters can be displayed at any one time.

●System Call

System Call function to execute up to 20 successive pre-

assigned commands at the single touch of a button.

●Preset Memory (Over 100 Built-in Codes)

Since the remote controller is preprogrammed with more than

100 remote control codes, you can use the AVR-87’s remote con- troller to operate not only DENON equipment but components made by other manufacturers as well. (Some components may not be supported by Preset Memory.)
