Denon AVR-5805 THX Ultra2-certified home theater receiver with 170 watts x 10 and HDMI/DVI video switching

Introducing the most powerful and versatile receiver Crutchfield has ever carried! The AVR-5805 boasts an astounding 170 watts x 10 channels of ultra-clean Denon power, plus exclusive THX Ultra2 processing designed to make the best possible use of all your speakers with the widest variety of music and movie sources.

The '5805 not only delivers staggeringly intense, dynamic home theater sound, but also offers groundbreaking multi-room flexibility. You and your family can enjoy up to four different sources in four different rooms at the same time! Its ten configurable amplifier channels let you power speakers in up to 4 rooms, with a huge variety of options:

  • 5.1 surround in main room with all channels bi-amplified
  • 5.1 surround in main room, 5.1 surround in 2nd room
  • 5.1 surround in main room, stereo in 2nd and 3rd rooms, mono in 4th room
  • 6.1 surround in main room, stereo in 2nd and 3rd rooms
  • 7.1 surround in main room, stereo in 2nd room, mono in 3rd room
  • 9.1 surround in main room, mono in 2nd room

Three 32-bit Texas Instruments processors perform THX Surround EX™ and all other surround decoding for your main room with ultra-precision. A fourth 32-bit processor is dedicated to surround decoding for your 2nd room. And with thirty-two of Burr-Brown's most advanced 192kHz/24-bit DACs, this receiver can allocate two high-resolution DACs per channel for 9.1 surround in your main room and 5.1 surround in your 2nd room at the same time! For stereo digital music sources in your main room, switch on Pure Direct mode — it uses four DACs per channel to deliver phenomenally detailed sound. Advanced Alpha 24 Processing, the latest version of Denon's acclaimed upsampling technology, enhances multichannel sources with expanded dynamic range and frequency response.

Denon's DDSC-digital construction treats your audio to a series of scrupulously isolated, single-function circuit blocks. With D/A conversion, A/D conversion, and surround decoding each handled by its own dedicated block, every function is optimized, and so is your sound! And Denon wrapped up the whole works in the beefiest, most rock-solid chassis they've ever built. Make sure you've got an extra-sturdy A/V cabinet or reinforced shelving to house this 12"-tall, 92-pound powerhouse!

The '5805 also offers some very advanced video switching and conversion options. For starters, it's got HDMI/DVI switching for up to 3 sources with HDMI output and one with a DVI output. If you've got a TV with either type of digital input, you'll be able to switch easily between all of your high-resolution video sources while maintaining phenomenal picture quality for each one. For all non-digital video sources, the '5805's Faroudja scaling lets you send an upconverted picture (your choice of 480p, 720p, 1080i) to your main-room TV via the component video outputs. (If you've got an HD-ready TV without HDMI or DVI inputs, you can use the '5805's scaling on all of your video sources.)

That's just the beginning of the '5805's incredible bounty of inputs and outputs, though. It's also got a Denon Link input — with compatible components (like Denon's DVD-3910), you'll be able to send DVD-Audio signals to this receiver digitally, for musical reproduction of incredible presence and purity. There's also an IEEE 1394 input that lets you transfer SACD and other high-resolution audio signals to the '5805 in digital form. Other connectivity highlights include two multichannel inputs (one 9.1, the other 5.1), 6 component video inputs, 9 A/V inputs, and a total of 12 more digital audio inputs.

Auto Setup and Room EQ Adjust not only takes the hassle out of speaker configuration, but also makes perfect home theater sound a breeze. Just plug in the included microphone and place it in up to 8 seats in your home theater room. The '5805 uses a series of test tones to balance speaker levels and fine-tune the delay and EQ settings for each speaker. The result is multichannel sound that's optimized across your entire listening area, with a "sweet spot" big enough for plenty of friends and family members! The '5805 also detects and sets the appropriate crossover point for each speaker in your main room, achieving a perfect balance of sound between your subwoofer and your other speakers.

The ultra-cool learning/multibrand touchscreen remote enables easy control of your whole system. Its twin electro-luminescent displays are easy to read in the dark, and offer customized control screens for each of you components. Ethernet and RS-232C ports enable control from a PC or another automated system. The '5805 is a remarkably future-ready receiver that's ready to deliver spectacular A/V entertainment today!
