With ultra-clean amplification for up to seven home theater speakers, Denon's AVR-2805 fills your room with sweeping, cinematic sound. It's also got a brainy 32-bit SHARC processor that drives ultra-precise Dolby® Digital EX, DTS-ES®, and Dolby Pro Logic® IIx decoding. You'll be able to turn any stereo or surround source into enveloping 7.1-channel audio.

Denon's new Auto Setup and Room EQ Adjust takes the hassle out of speaker configuration. Just plug in the included microphone and place it in your favorite listening seat. The '2805 then uses a series of test tones to balance speaker levels and fine-tune the delay and EQ settings for each speaker. The result is optimized system performance for your specific home theater room!

Sixteen Analog Devices 192kHz/24-bit digital-to-analog converters handle your digital sources with extreme precision. Pure Direct mode shuts down all unused circuitry for the cleanest possible stereo sound from any audio component in your system. Another high-end bonus is Denon's ALPHA 24 Processing Plus, which uses sophisticated upsampling to produce analog smoothness from stereo digital audio.

Dual-room/dual-source output lets you enjoy 7.1 home theater surround in your main room while housemates enjoy another music or video source (in stereo) in a second room. You'll need a separate amplifier for your second listening room — or, if you step to 5.1 audio in your main room, the AVR-2805 can also power a pair of second-room speakers!

Loads of inputs and outputs let you build a massive system around the '2805. You get 7 digital inputs, 7 A/V inputs, a 7.1-channel preamp output for system expansion, and a 7.1-channel input that keeps you ready for future formats. Component video conversion greatly simplifies hookup to your main-room TV and lets you preserve maximum video quality for all sources. The learning/multibrand remote with glow-in-the-dark keys provides easy control of your entire system.
