The AVR-5800 features an equal power 7-channel amplifier section, with identical
amplifier design on all 7 channels. The Front (L/R), Center, and Surround (L/R)
channels are driven by 170 watts of power each, and the two Surround Back channels,
used for 6.1-channel DTS-ES and THX Surround EX sources, are also each powered
with 170 watts (all channels rated into 8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz).
High current, low impedance drive-capable discrete power transistors are used
for each channel, and the high power output of 170 watts per channel (into 8
ohms) ensures that the speakers are driven with ample foundation to reproduce
movie and music soundtracks with superb fidelity and widest dynamic range.
The AVR-5800's power section is configured with a 1200VA high current toroidal
transformer and large high capacity electrolytic capacitors optimized for audio
use to deliver a constantly stable, clean supply of power.
The AVR-5800 proudly bears the THX Ultra logo, certifying that it satisfies the
strict standards of Lucasfilm, Inc., governing performance, features, sound quality,
power, stability into low impedance speaker loads (3.2 ohms and higher) and
ease of operation.
In addition, THX 5.1 and 4.0 post-processing enhancements enrich the motion picture
soundtrack reproduction, providing timbre matching, re-equalization, precision time
delay adjustments, dynamic decorrelation and superior bass management.
Chassis construction focused on high-quality pure audio
By positioning the power transformer at the center of the unit, the AVR-5800 is
equipped with a chassis construction in which unwanted vibrations are suppressed
and excess vented heat is minimized. The digital circuits have been placed in the
lower center of the unit and are completely shielded in their own enclosure, and the
power amp circuits are located on the left and right sides. In addition, the analog
circuitry has been isolated from the video circuitry to completely eliminate any mutual
interference. The total chassis design preserves the purity of the audio signal from
input to output to give your home theater a clean yet powerful sound, alive with all
the details of the original recording.

DDSC-Digital, for High-quality Sound Reproduction
DDSC-Digital is a circuit configuration specially designed by DENON in which all
the elements of the surround processor are optimized by the use of selected high
performance discrete elements, including separate A/D and D/A conversion, with
sophisticated dual DSP surround decoding.
1. 24 bit, 96 kHz A/D Converters
The AVR-5800 uses highly accurate 24 bit, 96 kHz A/D converters to handle
analog to digital conversion. Since the converted digital signals are at
extremely high resolution, the resulting sound quality is far more faithful to the
original source than with conventional designs.
2. Digital Interface Receiver Supporting 24 bit, 192 kHz Signals
The AVR-5800 includes a Digital Interface Receiver (DIR) that distinguishes various
types of digital input signals, including 24/192 and 24/96 stereo PCM signals, performs
the appropriate signal processing, and transmits the information to the DSP block.
3. Analog Devices SHARC Dual 32-bit Floating Point DSPs
Featuring the latest Analog Devices 32 bit floating point SHARC DSP devices,
the AVR-5800 provides superb resolution and widest dynamic range of Dolby
Digital, DTS and PCM audio signals.
4. 24 bit, 192 kHz All-channels Differential-mode D/A Conversion
For optimum fidelity and transparency, the AVR-5800 features the latest
Analog Devices high resolution AD-1853 24 bit, 192 kHz DACs, in 16-DAC
differential configuration (2 DAC channels per each audio channel).
DENON's latest surround technology faithfully recreates the surround
sound produced at the dubbing stage.
1. DTS (Digital Theater System)
1-1) Featuring the World's First DTS-ES Extended Surround
6.1 Discrete & DTS-ES 6.1 Matrix Decoding
The AVR-5800 is the world's first AV component that is equipped with the DTS-
ES (true discrete) 6.1 decoder, developed by DTS to provide dramatically
improved surround sound panoramic reproduction and superior surround sound
localization.
