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.

■
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.)
