AVR-5805MK2

The AVR-5805MK2incorporates a host of new technologies, circuits, and functions to achieve DENON’s ultimate aim for all its amps, which is to recreate the producer’s original intent with absolute fidelity. The "New DDSC-Digital" surround processor, developed around DENON’s design concepts for high-quality sound reproduction, is now equipped with the latest 32-bit floating-point DSP as well as newly-developed AL24 processing, high-performance 24-bit/192-kHz D/A converter, and other much improved technologies. The AVR-5805MK2is also endowed with a wide range of features such as a hefty10-channel power amp capable of bi-amp drive, new Auto Set-up utilizing multi-point measurement and analysis to support the entire listening area, Room EQ (equalizer), advanced digital audio interfaces including DENON Link and IEEE 1394, support for THX Ultra2, multi-zone system, newly-developed analog video scaler to 1080p, DVI/HDMI video selector, and full up/down video conversion. These new technologies, circuits, and features enable the AVR-5805MK2to reproduce the original design intent of content producers from a wide range of sources in such areas as surround sound, multi-channel audio, 2-channel stereo, and video.

■Audio Section
•'New DDSC-Digital,' for dramatically improved processing performance

The New DDSC(Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit)- Digital is a high-quality surround sound reproduction circuit designed by DENON, and forms the core of the design concept that DENON pursues for all its A/V amps: to faithfully reproduce the original intent of content producers. DENON has succeeded in developing a fully discrete design for the New DDSC-Digital in which high-performance ICs are used in independent blocks to form a signal processor that reproduces surround sound, and the discrete design ensures that all channels are endowed with identical response and quality of sound.

-New 32-bit floating point DSP

Three of the latest 32-bit floating point DSPs for the decoder for main zone. A latest -generation 32-bit floating point SHARC DSP for the second zone.

-24-bit/192-kHz D/A Converter

The latest high-accuracy 24-bit/192-kHz D/A converter has been employed for the audio DAC. The AVR-5805 has 8 of these D/A converters for 16 circuits, achieving differential drive for all 16 channels and digital-to-analog conversion with wide dynamic range at a high S/N.

-High-performance A/D Converter

A high-performance A/D converter of 24-bit/192-kHz quality has been used to significantly boost S/N and dynamic range.

•'Advanced AL24 Processing,' the latest technology for high sound quality
•DENON Link, enabling high-speed, high-grade digital signal transmission
•IEEE 1394 digital interface - 2 ports

•Large-output Power Amp Section and Power Supply Configuration, for stable high-power output

•10-channel power amp, supporting multiple uses

Since the 10 speaker terminals can be assigned to any channel, the AVR-5805 can be used to enjoy home theater entertainment in the following configurations:

-One dynamic 9.1-channel surround system in a single room

-5.1-channel theater environments in two different rooms, both operating simulta- neously

-Multi-zone system: a 7.1-channel theater in the main room, a 2.1-channel envi- ronment in a second room, and a monaural environment in a small third room.

-"Bi-amp" system: Front (L/R) and Center speakers are bi-wired in a 7.1-channel theater to improve playback quality in the front for enhanced listening enjoyment.

•Stabilized, independent power supplies for each circuit
•Chassis construction to surpress internal/external vibration
•Pure Direct mode, for the pure enjoyment of music in high-quality sound
•Variable Gain Volume and Pre-amp

•New Auto Set-up and Room EQ, Featuring MultEQ from Audyssey, for overall listening area support

•Full support for the most advanced surround playback formats

-Dolby Digital EX - Dolby Digital - Dolby Pro Logic IIx

-Dolby Headphone - DTS-ES - DTS 96/24

-DTS Neo:6 - DTS - HDCD

•THX, THX Surround EX, THX Ultra2
•Original surround modes from DENON
