The AVR-687 delivers lifelike surround sound audio playback from popular sources such as DVD players, set top boxes and gaming equipment. The high power amplifier section delivers enhanced performance giving dynamic sound presence from your audio video system. This coupled with Video Up Conversion, Audio Delay control and our new Simple Pre-programmed Remote, offers ease of connection, adjustment and use with top performance at a reasonable price.

 

 

Get It Right The First Time
The initial setup of a home theater system can be time consuming and at times, frustrating. Adjusting speaker levels and getting everything configurated to sound its very best can sometimes be a tedious task. Well, the AVR687 will change all of that. It's 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 32-bit floating point DSP automatically and accurately analyses, adjusts and sets the speaker configurations of your system.

The Power of Authority
For optimum Dolby Digital and DTS reproduction, the AVR687 features high quality, wideband audio amplification, providing 75 watts of power output (8 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 0.08 percent THD) for each of its seven main channels. A large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer along with discrete power output devices on all seven amplifier channels for the highest dynamic range and superb reproduction clarity. The power amp circuits of the AVR687 have been meticulously designed to reproduce exceptionally high sound quality with a wide frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz. The AVR687 is equipped with a total of 7 power amps including two for the Surround Back channel speakers 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, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and DTS-ES NEO:6. The 32-bit floating-point DSP processor -- the Hammerhead SHARC -- was carefully selected by Denon and supports single-instruction, multiple-data processing.

Movin' On Up
Component Video Conversion is an exciting feature, making setup of your A/V system easier than ever. This video transcoding technology lets you enjoy the highest picture quality from all video gear connected to the receiver. Since composite and S-video signals are converted up to component video signals and output to the monitor, all you need to do is connect a monitor that can display component video images. That means you don't have to connect different cables to your television for your DVD player, VCR, and whatever else you may want to get a signal from. Just connect your A/V components to the receiver, run one component video cable (we recommend Monster Cable) from the AVR687 to your television, and your new receiver does the rest.

The Best Surround Sound Around
So what does all of Denon's painstaking engineering mean to you? Basically, it means that the audio from this 75 watt per channel receiver will actually sound better than other 75 watt per channel receivers. When combined with today's amazing surround sound technologies, the results are superb. The AVR687 faithfully recreates the surround sound produced at the dubbing stage, and it's packed with the most modern surround sound format technologies. You'll get the most out of today's and tomorrow's surround sound formats with features like DTS 96/24 decoding for DVD-video, DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1, DTS NEO:6, Dolby Digital EX and Dolby Pro Logic IIx. With these cutting edge decoders, the AVR687 will make the absolute most of any audio signal passing through.
