Description:

Take your movie viewing and music listening to new heights with Denon's DHT-485XP home theater. The sleek system mates the company's AVR-485 6.1 audio/video receiver with a set of SC-A65 satellite speakers, a SC-C65 center speaker, and a DSW-65 powered subwoofer, the perfect expansion components for your TV and DVD player, digital satellite receiver, or DTV set-top box. The system will enfold you in vivid, dynamic sound from your movies, CDs, LPs, you name it.

Denon's AVR-485 provides 6 channels of discrete amplification to drive all the primary speakers in a 6.1 surround sound system (front left/right speakers, rear left/right surrounds, and front/rear center speakers, along with a preamp output for the ".1" low-frequency effects channel, i.e. subwoofer). The receiver packs 110 watts per channel.

You'll never be at a loss for creative surround algorithms, irrespective of your listening source. The receiver's onboard 6.1-channel surround processing includes Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS 5.1, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx (for cinema, music, and games). Dolby Pro Logic IIx processing is the first technology to offer a choice of processing traditional stereo music and movie content into room-filling 5.1 or 6.1 channels.

The AVR-485 owes its high sound quality to premium digital-audio technologies like Melody 32-bit DSP from Analog Devices, whose 24-bit/192 kHz high-resolution DACs ensure premium playback sound from all 7 channels. If you're not listening in true surround sound at first, the receiver offers virtual surround for use with 2-speaker setups. Separate A and B speaker outputs (left/right only) let you power speakers in a second room.

The receiver features 3 assignable sets of component-video inputs and 1 set of monitor inputs (all with 30 MHz bandwidth). You get 4 sets composite and 3 S-video inputs, a set of 5.1 external wide-bandwidth (100 kHz) inputs for multichannel formats such as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD, 2 assignable digital inputs (1 optical, 1 coaxial), and a total of 6 analog inputs (not including the unit's built-in AM/FM tuner).

The speaker system employs 5 two-way satellite speakers, a broad center-channel speaker, and a powered subwoofer, all of which are carefully calibrated to provide seamless, 360-degree sound, whatever your program source.
