■ Dual channel surround back power amp for 7.1 surround

The AVR-587 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.

■ 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-587 features a Cinema Equalizer to
correct these high-frequency components so that the sound is clearer and easier to

(For Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital EX and DTS surround modes)

Other features

■ Acclaimed customization feature

As with all of Denon’s high-grade A/V receiver, the AVR-587 lets you adjust para­meters so that you can customize the performance of the AVR-587 to suit your
own home theater and enhance operating ease. The adjustments are easy to make
via a dialog format on the fluorescent display on the front panel. These customized
features are then stored, for each source input and surround mode, in Personal
Memory Plus so constant readjustments are not required.

■ Personal Memory Plus, for easy operation

The AVR-587 includes the Personal Memory Plus function that automatically
remembers the surround mode you last used for each program source, so that you
do not need to select the mode again for that program.
