AVR-786
A/V Receiver
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Dolby Digital EX with Power Amps for 7 Channels
High-Quality Sound Reproduction
• NEW High Resolution 32bit Floating Point DSP
• 96 kHz Processing Circuit
• 24 bit, 192 kHz Capability High Resolution D/A Conversion
Auto Setup with Microphone
The AVR-786 is equipped with an Auto Setup function, to
achieve the most ideal sound field for your room. With the
microphone placed at your listening position, the powerful
32bit floating point DSP automatically and accurately
analyses, adjusts and sets the speaker configurations of
your system.
3 Sets of Component Video Inputs
The AVR-786 is equipped with 3 sets of component video inputs and 1set of moni-
tor outputs
DENON's Basic Design for High-Quality Sound Reproduction
• Power Transformer for High Power Driven
The chassis that supports the large transformer has been designed to absorb vibra-
tion, and the transformer is housed inside a highly rigid frame to secure it more solidly
to the chassis. In addition, a cushioning material has been placed around the core of
the transformer to minimize interference on the signal and enable more faithful repro-
duction of the original sound.
The AVR-786 inherits these low-noise design from higher-end models not to mention
the use of short ring.
• Twin Drive Rectifier
DENON's Twin Drive Rectifier design uses two rectifying
diodes in parallel to bring out the maximum potential of
the large transformer. Since the rectifiers recharge the
large block capacitors at low impedance, they are able to
supply ample current to reproduce deep basses as well
as sudden bursts of sound from percussion or other
musical instruments.
• Large Aluminum Extruded Heatsink
DENON uses a large heatsink made of extruded aluminum.
It is placed in a design that ensures mostly uniform tem-
peratures throughout the heatsink. This will ensures that
all channels respond with equal performance to the
demands of the audio signals.
Fully Discrete, Equal Power 7 Amplifier Channels, 85 Watts Each
Front 85 W + 85 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
Center 85 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
Surround 85 W + 85 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
Surround Back 85 W + 85 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
For optimum Dolby Digital and dts reproduction, the AVR-786 features high quality, wide-
band audio amplification, providing 85 watts power output for each of the seven main
channels. A large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer
along with discrete power output devices on all 7 amplifier channels for highest
dynamic range and superb reproduction clarity.
Wide-Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
The power amp circuits of the AVR-786 have been meticulously designed to repro-
duce the exceptionally high sound quality with wide frequency response from 10 Hz
to 100 kHz.
Dual Channel Surround Back Power Amp for 7.1 Surround
The AVR-786 is equipped with a total of 7 power amps including 2 for the Surround
Back channel speaker to give you more clearly defined sound localization at the rear
for 6.1-channel surround sources such as DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1,
Dolby Digital EX, and DTS-ES NEO:6.
Assignable surround back (L/R) amplifiers for front (L/R) channel bi-amping,
or for Multi-zone playback
Amplifiers initially reserved for Surround back (L/R) channels can be assigned to bi-
wire Front (L/R) channels to improve playback quality in the front for enhanced listen-
ing enjoyment. Or the amplifiers can be assigned to Zone 2 speakers (with multi-
source), in addition to PREOUT for Zone 2.
Cinema Equalizer
The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other formats
emphasizes high-frequency range due to a theater’s front speakers being placed
behind the movie screen. If this sound is reproduced in the home theater without
correction, the high-frequency range is too strong. The AVR-786 features a Cinema
Equalizer to correct these high-frequency components so that the sound is clearer
and easier to listen to. (For Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital EX and
DTS surround modes)
Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation
The AVR-786 includes the Personal Memory Plus function that automatically remem-
bers the surround mode you last used for each program source, so that you do not
need to select the mode again for that program.
On Screen Display
The AVR-786 lets you make system settings via displays on your TV screen from the
comfort of your chair.
Acclaimed Customization Feature
As with all of DENON’s high-grade A/V receiver, the AVR-786 lets you adjust speaker
configuration, delay times and other parameters so that you can customize the perfor-
mance of the AVR-786 to suit your own home theater and enhance operating ease.
These customized features are then stored, for each source input and surround
mode, in Personal Memory Plus so constant readjustments are not required.
