DENON AVR-5803 A/V 6.1 Surround Sound Receiver

The AVR-5803 surround receiver inherits the critically acclaimed amplifier design characteristics of the AVR-5800 while adding Denon’s much improved DDSC-Digital sound processor for greater diversity in multi-channel reproduction of digital and analog signals. The AVR-5803′s objective is to bring out the maximum performance potential of all types of sound sources. This model also provides a video conversion function for greater monitor connection flexibility, the added convenience of variable subwoofer crossover switching that will ensure a listening environment that is as close to ideal as possible. With its support of THX Ultra2 and a wealth of other features, the AVR-5803 has become Denon’s latest “Surround Reference” A/V receiver for serious home theater enthusiasts.
Customer Review: Top of the Line
Possibly the best A/V Receiver on the market (although recently succeeded by the AVR 5805, which seems to have more amp channels than a reasonable person could use). One problem, however, is Denon Link compatability (a proprietary digital connection that only works with other high grade Denon equipment). The Denon Link is now available in three different forms, series 1, 2 and 3. If you have an AVR 5803 with the series 1 Denon Link and have a Denon DVD player that also has such a link, you want to make sure that they are of the same series or they may not be compatable. Denon offers free upgrades of these links, but that entails your retuning your component to them and waiting several weeks to get it back. This is sort of inconvenient if you have to send your receiver away for a month or so, since your A/V system needs a receiver (or pre-amp and amplifiers) to work. If you have a spare receiver sitting around that is OK, otherwise it is a pain. “BUY NOW”
