■DTS 96/24 5.1 Decoding for DVD-Video

High-quality 96-kHz, 24-bit (96/24) sound playback from ordinary DVD-Video recordings is limited to only two channels and there are also limitations on the picture. DVD-Video recorded in DTS 96/24, however, allows high-quality 5.1-channel sound playback in full-quality, full-motion video.

■Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic IIx furthers the matrix decoding technology of Dolby Pro Logic II to decode audio signals recorded on two channels into up to 7.1 playback channels, including the surround back channel. Dolby Pro Logic IIx also allows 5.1-channel sources to be played in up to 7.1 channels.

The mode can be selected according to the source. The Music mode is the best suit- ed for playing music, the Cinema mode for playing movies, and the Game mode for playing games. The Game mode can only be used with 2-channel audio sources.

■Dolby Headphone

Since sound from a headphone enters the ears directly, it can cause fatigue during extended listening sessions. Dolby Headphone replicates the effects of sound from speakers in a room by localizing the sound source at the front or the side as though the listener were enjoying 3D sound at a movie theater. Dolby Headphone is effective not only with Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic but with CD and other 2-channel sources as well. The AVR-5803 also lets you record signals encoded with Dolby Headphone to other recorders so that you can enjoy the effects of Dolby Headphone with a portable MD player or other device. (This is possible with both analog and digital recordings.)

■5 Channel & 7 Channel Stereo Modes

■Dual Surround Mode Speaker Selection

■Adjustable Cross-Over Switching

The AVR-5803 supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 5 cross- over frequencies: 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120. This lets you more accurately match the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the main speaker system.

■DENON Digital Link

High-grade LPCM 24-bit, 96-kHz, 6-channel or 24-bit, 192-kHz, 2-channel (*3) digital input is possible when the AVR-5803 is connected via a shielded twisted pair (STP) cable to a DVD player that supports Denon Digital Link. Since Denon Digital Link uses low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS), transfer capabilities of greater than 1.2 Gbps at a differential voltage of approximately 0.3 Vpp are possible.

■HDCD® Decoder for HDCD® Disc Playback

■External Digital Input

For future system expansion, the AVR-5803 provides an external digital input port that supports multi-channel (6-/8-channel PCM) input from an external unit. Multi- channel digital signal input is possible using a maximum of 4 sets of coaxial digital inputs.

■Pure Direct Mode, to Deliver Pure Audio Quality

■AL 24 Processing Plus

■High-quality Component Video In/Out Terminals (100 MHz Bandwidth)

■Video Conversion

The AVR-5803 is equipped with a video switching system that converts composite video signals to S-Video and/or composite and S-video to component video. The input signal types---whether composite, S-Video, or component---are auto detected, then the signal with the highest picture quality is given highest priority and output to the monitor.

(Manual operation can be used to override auto detection.)

■Support for Multi Zone Configurations

The AVR-5803 provides a Multi Zone Output function and a Select function that let you output different sources to multiple zones. Sources can be selected for output to up to 2 additional zones, in addition to the main room. Multi-room Zone 1 can have variable pre-amp output along with composite video feed, and Multi- room Zone 2 can have fixed stereo audio pre-output.

The AVR-5803’s Power Amplifier Assign function lets you assign the 2 Surround Back (SB L/R) amplifier channels when the system is not configured for 7.1, to instead drive the Multi-room Zone 2 speakers, with 170 Watts per channel output power, while still providing 5 discrete amplifier channels to drive all speakers in a 5.1 configured home theater room.

■2 Sets of 8-Channel External Inputs

■Personal Memory Plus

■RS-232C Port

Includes a RS-232C port to support an AMX, Crestron integrated control system.
