Denon DHT-486XP 7.1 Ch. Home Theater in a Box
-
Discontinued
Availability Details
CloseThis item has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available.
The DHT-486XP 7.1 Ch. Home Theater in a Box from Denon is equipped with 7 channels of high current amplifier power and DSP processing technology. It brings acoustically matched loudspeakers in a simple and readymade package for almost any environment.
The system includes a versatile audio/video receiver along with 7 speakers and a 100W subwoofer. This acoustically matched, and European tuned speaker package brings the most out of movie soundtracks and your favorite music. The center channel dialogue speaker features a 2-way design, with dual midrange drivers and an efficient tweeter. The other 6 satellite speakers use similar drive units as the center channel, but with only a single midrange and tweeter compliment. With Dolby Pro Logic IIx, the DHT486XP recreates existing Dolby Surround programs and conventional stereo sources such as CD in realistic 7.1-channel likeness.
As with all of Denon's high grade A/V receivers, the AVR-486 lets you adjust delay times and other parameters so that you can customize the performance of the AVR-486 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.
- Fully Discrete, Equal Power 7 Amplifier Channels, 75W Each
- For optimum Dolby Digital and DTS reproduction, the AVR-486 features high quality, wideband audio amplification, providing 75W power output for each of the 7 main channels. A large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer along with discrete power output devices on all 7 amplifier channels for highest dynamic range and superb reproduction clarity
- Power Transformer for High Driven Power
- The chassis that supports the large transformer has been designed to absorb vibration, and the transformer is housed inside a highly rigid frame to secure it more solidly to the chassis. In addition, a cushioning material has been placed around the core of the transformer to minimize interference on the signal and enable more faithful reproduction of the original sound. The AVR-486 inherits this low noise design from higher end models
- Twin Drive Rectifier
- It uses two rectifying diodes in parallel to bring out the maximum potential of the large transformer. Since the rectifiers recharge the large block capacitors at low impedance, they are able to supply ample current to reproduce deep basses as well as sudden bursts of sound from percussion or other musical instruments
- Large Aluminum Extruded Heatsink
- The device uses a large heatsink made of extruded aluminum. It has been placed in a design that ensures mostly uniform temperatures throughout the heatsink so that the output transistors for all channels can be driven under uniform conditions. This in turn ensures that all channels respond with equal performance to the demands of the audio signals
- Wide Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
- The power amp circuits of the AVR-486 have been meticulously designed to reproduce the exceptionally high sound quality with wide frequency response from 10Hz to 100kHz
- Dual Channel Surround Back Power Amp for 7.1 Surround
- The AVR-486 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-486 features a cinema equalizer to correct these high-frequency components so that the sound is clearer and easier to listen to (For Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital EX and DTS surround modes)
- Assignable Surround Back (L/R) Amplifiers for Multi-Zone Playback
- Amplifiers initially reserved for surround back (L/R) channels can be assigned to zone 2 speakers
- Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation
- The AVR-486 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
- Acclaimed Customization Feature
- The AVR-486 lets you adjust delay times and other parameters so that you can customize the performance of the AVR-486 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

- 5 Channel/7 Channel Stereo Mode
- The 7 channel stereo mode transforms your favorite 2-channel sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo video sources into exciting surround sound, free of delay effects and unnatural artifacts, from all 7 speakers. This 7 channel stereo mode was originally developed by Denon to enhance music lovers' enjoyment with home theater ambience
- DSP Surround Modes Add Listening Excitement

- Adjustable Cross Over Switching
- The AVR-486 supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 8 cross over frequencies: 40/60/80/100/120/150/200/250Hz. This lets you more accurately match the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the main speaker system
