■ Fully discrete 7-channel high power amplifiers
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)
■ 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
■ Denon's basic design for high-quality sound reproduction
• Power transformer for high power driven
• Twin drive rectifier
• Large aluminum extruded heatsink
■ Dual channel surround back power amp for 7.1 surround
The AVR-787 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.
■ Wide-range play capability for DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
The power amp circuits of the AVR-787 have been meticulously designed to
reproduce the exceptionally high sound quality with wide frequency response from
10 Hz to 100 kHz.
■ Supports the most advanced surround playback formats
• Dolby Digital EX • Dolby Digital • Dolby Pro Logic IIx
• DTS-ES • DTS 96/24 • DTS Neo:6 • DTS • Neural Surround
■ 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-787 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)
Video section
■ Component video circuits which maintain flat response up to 100MHz,
ensuring sharp image quality
■ Video Up/Down conversion function
(Composite <-> S-Video, Composite -> S-Video/Component)
■ 3 Sets of Component Video Inputs
Connectivity Usability / Expandability
■ ASD-1R Control Dock for iPod®(option): Supports iPod playback
when connected to the AVR-787
iPod (*1) playback can be enjoyed through the AVR-787
when the ASD-1R, Denon's original Control Dock for iPod
(sold separately), is connected to the dedicated control termi-
nal of the AVR-787. The iPod can also be controlled via the
remote controller supplied with the AVR-787.
*1) Supports 3rd-generation and later iPods equipped with a Dock connector.
Some functions may not work depending on the generation of the iPod and
the version of the software.
■ XM Mini-Tuner Ready*
(Supports XM 5.1ch surround powered by Neural Audio)
*Optional XM Mini-Tuner and subscribes are required.
■ Auto Setup with microphone
The AVR-787 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.
■ Configurable surround back amplifiers
• Multi-zone system: a 5.1-channel theater in the main room and a stereo
environment in a second room.
• "Bi-amp" system: Front (L/R) channels are bi-wired in a 5.1-channel theater to
improve playback quality in the front for enhanced listening enjoyment.
■ 8ch analog EXT IN terminal
■ New user-friendly remote
■ 3 User Mode buttons
Black version is also available.

Other features
■ Audio Delay Function (0 - 200msec.)
Audio delay function corrects slight lags between sound and picture that can occur
when a video signal is processed, such as in a Progressive Scan DVD player or
outboard video processor.
■ Personal Memory Plus, for easy operation
The AVR-787 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-787 lets you make system settings via displays on your TV screen from the
comfort of your chair.
