2805/985's video input jacks are cennected.

Generally speaking, cennections using the component vide() jacks

effer the highest quality playback, fe/ewed by connectiens using the

S-Videe jacks, then connectiens using the regular vide() jacks

(yellow).

NOTE:

Dewn-converting from the component vide() signal te the S-Video

and composite video signal is not possible, so when not using the

component video monitor output terminal connect the player using

the S-Video or composite vide() input terminal.

Cautions on the video conversion function:

When the component video terminals are used to connect the AVR-

2805/985 with a TV (or moniter, projector; etc.) and the video (yeliew)

er S video terminals are used to connect the AVR-2B05/985 with a

VTR, depending en the combination of the TV and VTR the picture

may flicker in the horizental direction, be distorted, be out of sync or

not display at all when playing vide() tapes.

If this happens, connect a cemmercially available video stabilizer, etc.,

with a TBC (time base correcter) function between the AVR-2BOB/9B5

and the VTR, er if yeur VTR has a TBC function, turn it en.

• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like

polarities are matched (® with _+_,O with ® ). Mismatching of polarities will

result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments,

and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired.

• When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors

of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other

speaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel.

NOTE:

NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.

Doing so could result in electric shocks.

Speaker Impedance

• Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 £Z/ohms can be connected for

use as front and center speakers.

• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 £Z/ohms can be connected for use as

surround speakers.

• Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the same time,

since use of speakers with an impedance of less than 8 £Z/ohms will lead to

damage.

• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of

time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the

specified impedance are connected.

• This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit. The purpose of this circuit is to protect the speakers under

circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently short-circuited and a large current flows, when

the temperature surrounding the unit becomes unusually high, or when the unit is used at high output over a long period

which results in an extreme temperature rise.

When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off and the power supply indicator LED flashes. Should

this occur, please follow these steps: be sure to switch off the power of this unit, check whether there are any faults with

the wiring of the speaker cables or input cables, and wait for the unit to cool down if it is very hot. Improve the ventilation

condition around the unit and switch the power back on.

If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the

unit, switch off the power and contact a DEN©N service center.

• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an

impedance lower than the specified impedance (for example speakers with an impedance of lower than 4 _-_/ohms) are

connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn off the set's power, wait for the set to cool

down, improve the ventilation around the set, then turn the power back on.

NOTES:

-- Assignment of low frequency signal range (2-1) --

• The only signals pleduced flem the subwoofel channel are LFE signals (during playback of Delby Digital el DTS signals) and the low

frequency signal range of channels set to "SMALL" in the setup menu. The low frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are

preduced from those channels.

-- Crossover Frequency (2-4) --

• When "Subweofer" is set to "Yes" at the "Speaker Configuration Setting", set the frequency (Hz) below wMch the bass sound ef the

various speakers is to be output frem the subwoofer (the crossever frequency).

• Fer speakers set to "Small", sound with a frequency below the crossever frequency is cut, and the cut bass seund is output frem the

subwoefer instead.

(• When the subwoefer set to "NO", the bass sound is output frem the speaker set as "Large".)

NOTE: For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the crossever frequency to 80 Hz. When using small speakers, however,

setting the crossover frequency to a high frequency may impreve frequency response fer frequencies near the cressever frequency.

-- Subwoofer mode (2-5) --

• The subwoefer mede setting is only valid when "LARGE" is set fer the frent speakers and "YES" is set for the subwoefer in the "Setting

the type of speakers". (see page 30).

• When the "LFE+MAIN" playback mede is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are preduced

simultaneeusly from those channels and the subweofer channel.

In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly threugh the room, but depending on the size and shape ef the roem,

interference may result in a decrease ef the actual w)lume of the low frequency range.

• Selection of the "LFE " play mede will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected with "LARGE" from that channel enly.

Therefere, the low frequency signal range that are played from the subweofer channel are only the low frequency signal range of LFE (only

during Dolby Digital or DTS signal playback) and the channel specified as "SMALL" in the setup menu.

• Select the play mode that prevides bass repreductien with quantity.

• When the subweofer is set te "Yes", bass sound is eutput from the subweofer regardless of the subwoefer mode setting in surround modes

other than DoIby/DTS.

• In surreund modes other than Delby Digital and DTS, if the subwoofer is set to "YES", the lew frequency portien is always eutput te the

subwoefer channel. Fer details, refer te "Surround Medes and Parameters". (See page 68)

When there are multiple input signals, the input signals are detected and the input signal to be eutput frem the vide<)

monitor output terminal is selected automatically in the following order: component vide(), S-Video, compesite vide<).

The signal connected to the component video terminal is always played.

Video conversion is net conducted, so no image is output from the monitor eutput terminal when there is ne input signal

to the component terminal.

The signal connected te the S-Video terminal is always played.

The S-Video input signal is converted and eutput frem the composite and cempenent monitor output terminal.

The signal connected te the compesite video terminal is always played.

The composite video input signal is up-cenverted and eutput from the S-Videe and component monitor eutput terminals.

NOTE:

Down-converting from the component video signal to the S-Video and composite vide<>signal is not possible, so when not using the

component vide<> monitor output terminal connect the player using the S-Video or composite vide<>input terminal.

Cautions on the video conversion function:

When the component vide<>terminals are used to connect the AVR-2805/985 with a TV (or monitor, projector, etc.) and the video (yelbw)

or S video terminals are used to connect the AVR-2805/985 with a VTR, depending on the combination of the TV and VTR the picture may

flicker in the horizontal direction, be distorted, be out of sync or not display at all when playing video tapes.

If this happens, connect a commercially available video stabilizer, etc., with a TBC (time base corrector) function between the AVR-

2805/985 and the VTR, or if your VTR has a TBC function, turn it on.

•The included remote control unit (RC-974) carl be used to operate not only the AVR-2805/985 but other remote control compatible DENON

components as well. in addition, the memory contains the control signals for other remote control units, so it can be used to operate nen-Denon

remote control compatible products.

<] Remove the remote control unit's rear cover.

'2h Set three R6P/AA batteries in the battery compartment in the

indicated direction.

<].: Put the rear cover back on.

Notes on Batteries

• Use R6P/AA batteries in the remote control unit.

• The batteries should be replaced with new ones approximately

once a year, though this depends on the frequency of usage.

• Even if less than a year has passed, replace the batteries with new

ones if the set does net operate even when the remote control unit

is operated nearby the set. (The included battery is only for verifying

operation. Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.)

• When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper

direction, following the "¢_" and "G" marks in the battery

compartment

• To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:

• Do not use a new battery together with an old one.

• De not use two different types of batteries.

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in

flames.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit when you do

not plan to use it for an extended period of time.

• If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the inside

of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.

• When replacing the batteries, have the new batteries ready and

insert them as quickly as possible.

23 feet/Approx. 7m'_

• Point the remote control unit at the remote sensor on the mare unit

DTS NEO:6 Mode:

•Cinema

This mede is eptimum fer playing movies. Deceding is perfermed

with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same

atmosphere with 2-channel seurces as with 6.1-channel seurces.

This mode is effective for playing seurces recerded in conventienal

surround fermats as well, because the in-phase component is

assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase

component to the surreund (SL, SR and SB channels).

•Music

This mede is suited mainly for playing music. The frent channel (FL

and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there

is ne less of sound quality, and the effect ef the surreund signals

output frem the center (C) and surround (SL, SR and SB) channels

add a natural sense of expansion to the seund field.

CENTER IMAGE (0.0 to 1.0: default 0.3):

r_ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

There are currently various types of multi-channel signals (signals or formats with more than two channels).

•Types of multi-channel signals

Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS, Mgh definition 3-1 signals (Japan MUSE Hi-Vision audio), DVD-Audio, SACD (Super Audio CD), MPEG multi-

channel audio, etc.

"Source" here does not refer to the type of signal (format) but the recorded content. Sources can be divided into two major categories.

•Types of sources

•Movie audio Signals created to be played in movie theaters. In general sound is recorded to be played in movie theaters equipped

with multiple surround speakers, regardless of the format (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.).

In this case it is important to achieve the same sense of

expansion as in a movie theater with the surround channels.

To do so, in some cases the number of surround speakers is

increased (to four or eight) or speakers with bipolar or dipolar

properties are used.

SL: Surround Lchannel

SR: Surround R channel

SB: Surround back channel

•Other types of audio These signals are designed to recreate a 360 ° sound field using three to five speakers.

In this case the speakers should surround the listener from all sides to create a uniform sound

field from 360 °. Ideally the surround speakers should function as "point" sound sources in the

same way as the front speakers.

SL SR

These two types of sources thus have different properties, and different speaker settings, particularly for the surround speakers, are required

in order to achieve the ideal sound.

The AVR-2805/985 is equipped the function of surround speakers selection that makes it possible te change the settings according te the

combination of surround speakers being used and the surrounding environment in order to achieve the ideal surround sound for all sources.

This means that you can connect a pair of bipolar or dipolar surround speakers (mounted on either side of the prime listening position), as well

as a separate pair of direct radiating (monopolar) speakers placed at the rear corners of the listening room.

A 6.1-channel system is a conventional 5.1-channel system to which the "surround back" (SB) channel has been added. This makes it easy to

achieve sound positioned directly behind the listener, semething that was previously difficult with sources designed for conventional multi

surround speakers, in addition, the acoustic image extending between the sides and the rear is narrowed, thus greatly improving the expression

ef the surround signals fer sounds moving from the sides to the back and frem the frent to the point directly behind the listening positien.

Movement of acoustic image from SR to SB to SL

With this set, speaker(s) for 1 or 2 channels are required to achieve a 6.1-channel system (DTS-ES, etc.). Adding these speakers, however,

increases the surround effect net only with seurces recorded in 6.1 channels but also with conventienal 2- to 5.1-channel sources. The WiDE

SCREEN mode is a mode fer achieving surreund sound with up to 7.1 channels using surround back speakers, for sources recorded in

conventional Delby Surreund as well as Delby Digital 5.1-channel and DTS Surreund 5.1-channel sources. Furthermore, all the Denen original

surround modes (see page 76) are compatible with 7.1-channel playback, so you can enjoy 7.1-channel sound with any signal seurce.

•Number of surround back speakers

Though the surround back channel only consists ef 1 channel ef playback signals for 6,1-channel sources (DTS-ES, etc,), we recommend using

two speakers. When using speakers with dipolar characteristics in particular, it is essential to use twe speakers.

Using two speakers results in a smoother blend with the sound of the surround channels and better sound positioning of the surreund back

channel when listening frem a pesitien other than the center.

• Placement of the surround left and right channels when using surround back speakers

Using surround back speakers greatly impreves the positioning of the sound at the rear. Because of this, the surround left and right channels

play an important role in achieving a smooth transition of the acoustic image from the front to the back. As shown on the diagram above, in a

movie theater the surround signals are also preduced frem diagenally in front of the listeners, creating an acoustic image as if the sound were

floating in space.

To achieve these effects, we recommend placing the speakers for the surround left and right channels slightly mere tewards the front than

with conventional surround systems. Doing so sometimes increases the surround effect when playing conventional 5.1-channel sources in the

6.1 surreund or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 mode. Check the surround effects of the various modes before selecting the surround mode.

Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up your system according to the type

of speakers used and the main usage purpose.

1. DTS-ES compatible system (using surround back speakers)

or monitor screen as possible. Set the center speaker between the

front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position

than the front speakers.

• Consult the owner's manual for your subwoofer for advice on placing

the subwoofer within the listening room.

• If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar) then place

them slightly behind and at an angle to the listening position and

parallel to the walls at a position 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet)

above ear level at the prime listening position.

• When using two surround back speakers, place them at the back

facing the front at a narrower distance than the front left and right speakers. When using one surround back speaker,

place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers.

• We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents

the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the monitor or screen at the front center, resulting in interference

and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.

(2) Setting for primarily watching movies using diffusion type speakers for the surround speakers

For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide a wider

dispersion than is possible te obtain from a direct radiating speaker (menepolar). Place these speakers at either side of the prime listening

level.

• Same as surround back speaker installation method (1).

Using dipolar speakers for the surround back speakers as well is

more effective.

• The signals from the surround channels reflect off the walls as

shown on the diagram at the left, creating an enveloping and realistic

Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal fermat developed by Dolby Laboratories.

Dolby Digital consists of up te "5.1 " channels - frent left, frent right, center, surround left, surround right, and an additional channel exclusively

reserved for additienal deep bass sound effects (the Low Frequency Effects - LFE - channel, also called the ".1 " channel, containing bass

frequencies ef up to 120 Hz).

Unlike the analog Dolby Pro Logic fermat, Delby Digital's main channels can all contain full range seund information, from the lowest bass, up

to the highest frequencies - 22 kHz. The signals within each channel are distinct frem the others, allewing pinpeint sound imaging, and Dolby

Digital Theater Surround (also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems.

DTS effers the same "5.1 " playback channels as Delby Digital (frent left, front right and center, surround left and surround right) as well as the

stereo 2-channel mode. The signals for the different channels are fully independent, eliminating the risk of deterioration of seund quality due to

interference between signals, cresstalk, etc.

DTS features a relatively higher bit rate as compared to Dolby Digital (1234 kbps for CDs and LDs, 1536 kbps fer DVDs) so it operates with a

relatively lew compressien rate. Because ef this the ameunt of data is great, and when DTS playback is used in mevie theaters, a separate CD-

ROM synchronized with the film is played.

With LDs and DVDs, there is of course no need for an extra disc; the pictures and seund can be recerded simultaneously on the same disc, se

the discs can be handled in the same way as discs with other fermats.

There are also music CDs recerded in DTS. These CDs include 5.1-channel surreund signals (cempared to twe channels on current CDs). They do

net include picture data, but they effer surround playback en CD players that are equipped with digital outputs (PCM type digital output required).

DTS-ES Extended Surreund is a new multi-channel digital signal fermat developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility

with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space

expression thanks to further expanded surreund signals. This format has been used prefessionally in movie theaters since 1999.

In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surreund alse offers the SB (Surround Back, sometimes

also referred te as "surreund center") channel for surround playback with a total ef 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surreund includes two signal

formats with different surreund signal recording methods, as described belew.

DTS-ES TM Discrete 6.1

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 is the newest recording format. With it, all 6.1 channels (including the SB channel) are recorded independently using a

digital discrete system. The main feature of this format is that because the SL, SR and SB channels are fully independent, the seund can be

designed with total freedom and it is possible to achieve a sense that the aceustic images are moving about freely among the backgreund

sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees.

Though maximum perfermance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS-ES decoder, when played

with a conventional DTS deceder the SB channel signals are autematically down-mixed to the SL and SR channels, se none of the signal

components are lost.

DTS-ES TM Matrix 6.1

With this format, theadditienal SB channel signals undergo matrix encoding and are input tethe SLand SR channels beforehand. Upon

playback they are deceded to the SL, SR and SB channels. The performance of the encoder used at the time of recording can be fully matched

using a high precision digital matrix decoder developed by DTS, thereby achieving surround sound mere faithful to the preducer's sound design

aims than with conventional 5.1- er 6.1-channel systems.

In additien, the bit stream fermat is 100% compatible with cenventional DTS signals, so the effect ef the Matrix 6.1 format can be achieved

even with 5.1 -channel signal seurces. Of course it is also possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 encoded sources with a DTS 5.1-channel decoder.

When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 er Matrix 6.1 encoded sources are decoded with a DTS-ES deceder, the format is autematically detected upon

deceding and the optimum playing mode is selected. However, seme Matrix 6,1 sources may be detected as having a 5,1-channel fermat, so the

DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 mede must be set manually te play these sources.

(For instructions on selecting the surreund mode, see page 74.)

The DTS-ES decoder includes another functien, the DTS Nee:6 surround mode fer 6.1-channel playback of digital PCM and analog signal sources.

DTS Neo:6 TM surround

This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used fer DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1-

channel surreund playback. High precision input signal detection and matrix processing enable full band repreduction (frequency response ef

20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) fer all 6.1 channels, and separatien between the different channels is impreved to the same level as that of a digital

discrete system.

DTS Nee:6 surround includes twe modes for selecting the eptimum decoding fer the signal seurce.

•DTS Neo:6 Cinema

This mode is optimum fer playing movies. Deceding is perfermed with emphasis on separation performance te achieve the same

atmesphere with 2-channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources.

This mode is effective for playing sources recerded in conventional surreund fermats as well, because the in-phase cemponent is assigned

mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase compenent to the surreund (SL, SR and SB channels).

•DTS Neo:6 Music

This mode is suited mainly for playing music. Changes in the sound quality are reduced by decoding with emphasis on the front channel

signals (FL and FR), and a natural sense of expansion is given te the sound field by the effect ef the surround signals eutput frem the center

The sampling frequency, number of bits and number of channels used for recerding of music, etc., in studios has been increasing in recent years,

and there are a growing number of high quality signal sources, including 96 kHz/24 bit 5.1-channel sources.

For example, there are high picture/sound quality DVD video sources with 96 kHz/24 bit stereo PCM audio tracks.

However, because the data rate for these audio tracks is extremely high, there are limits to recording them on two channels only, and since the

quality of the pictures must be restricted it is commen to only include stiff pictures.

In addition, 96 kHz/24 bit 5.1-channel surround is possible with DVD audio sources, but DVD audio players are required to play them with this high

quality.

DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. in order to deal with this situation.

Conventional surround formats used sampling frequencies of 48 or 44.1 kHz, so 20 kHz was about the maximum playback signal frequency. With

DTS 96/24, the sampling frequency is increased to 96 or 88.2 kHz to achieve a wide frequency range of over 40 kHz.

In addition, DTS 96/24 has a resolution of 24 bits, resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24 bit PCM.

As with conventional DTS Surround, DTS 96/24 is compatible with a maximum of 5.1 channels, so sources recorded using DTS 96/24 can be

played in high sampling frequenc% multiple channel audio with such normal media as DVD videos and CDs.

Thus, with DTS 96/24, the same 96 kHz/24 bit multi-channel surround sound as with DVD-Audio can be achieved while viewing DVD-Video images

on a conventional DVD-Video player ( '_ 1). Furthermore, with DTS 96/24 compatible CDs, 88.2 kHz/24 bit multFchannel surround can be achieved

using normal CD/LD players ("_ 1).

Even with the high quality multFchannel signals, the recording time is the same as with conventional DTS surround sources.

What's more, DTS 96/24 is fully compatible with the conventional DTS surround format, so DTS 96/24 signal sources can be played with a

sampling frequency of 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz on conventional DTS or DTS-ES surround decoders ("_2).

•_ 1: A DVD player with DTS digital output capabilities (for CD/LD players, a player with digital outputs for conventional DTS CDs/LDs) and a

disc recorded in DTS 96/24 are required.

÷ 2: The resolution is 24 or 20 bits, depending on the decoder.

• Pure Direct Mode/AL24 processing

The AVR-2805/985 is equipped with a pure direct mode allowing the effects of the video and digital circuitry to be shut down when playing CDs

or records to achieve the ideal environment for analog playback, resulting in extremely high quality music playback, it is also equipped with AL24

processing which compensates the input digital data to produce the near analog waveforms which would be in a nature with 24 bits quality. AL24

processing operates when PCM data such as CD is inputted.
