FEATURES
• Switching the input function when input jacks are not connected
A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched
when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens, either
turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components
to the input jacks.
• Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER
terminals
The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals
include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are
greatly reduced for several seconds after the power switch is
turned on or input function, surround mode or any other-set-up is
changed. If the volume is turned up during this time, the output will
be very high after the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait
until the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume.
• Whenever the unit is in the STANDBY state, the apparatus is
still connected on AC line voltage.
Please be sure to turn the power off (
£off) when you leave
home for, say, a vacation.
1. Dolby Digital
Using advanced digital processing algorithms, Dolby Digital
provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround
sound. Dolby Digital is the default digital audio delivery system for
DVD and North American DTV.
2. Dolby Pro Logic IIx compatibility
Dolby Pro Logic IIx furthers the matrix decoding technology of
Dolby Pro Logic II to decode audio signals recorded on two
channels into up to 7.1 playback channels, including the surround
back channel. Dolby Pro Logic IIx also allows 5.1-channel sources
to be played in up to 7.1 channels.
The mode can be selected according to the source. The Music
mode is best suited for playing music,the Cinema mode for playing
movies, and the Game mode for playing games. The Game mode
can only be used with 2-channel audio sources.
3. Dolby Pro Logic II Game mode compatibility
In addition to the previously offered Music and Cinema modes, the
AVR-2805/985 also offers a Game mode optimum for games.
4. DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity
surround sound, from sources such as laser disc, DVD and
specially-encoded music discs.
5. DTS-ES Extended Surround and DTS Neo:6
The AVR-2805/985 can be decoded with DTS-ES Extended
Surround, a multi-channel format developed by Digital Theater
Systems Inc.
The AVR-2805/985 can be also decoded with DTS Neo:6, a
surround mode allowing 6.1 channels playback of regular stereo
sources.
6. DTS 96/24 compatibility
The AVR-2805/985 can be decoded with sources recorded in DTS
96/24, a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital
Theater Systems Inc.
DTS 96/24 sources can be played in the multi-channel mode on the
AVR-2805/985 with high sound quality of 96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2
kHz/24 bits.
7. 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.
8. Auto Setup/Room EQ
Use of the microphone for setup applications measures the
presence of speakers, the distance to the speakers, and other
information, and permits automatic setup. The characteristics
of each speaker can also be corrected.
9. Multi Zone Music Entertainment System
Multi Source Function:
This unit’s Multi Source function lets you select different audio
sources for listening Different sources can thus be enjoyed in the
main room (MAIN) and the subroom (ZONE2) simultaneously.
10.Future Sound Format Upgrade Capability via Eight Channel
Inputs & Outputs
For future multi-channel audio format(s), the AVR-2805/985 is
provided with 7.1 channel (seven main channels, plus one low
frequency effects channel) inputs, along with a full set of 7.1
channel pre-amp outputs, controlled by the 8 channel master
volume control. This assures future upgrade possibilities for any
future multi-channel sound format.
11.Front input Terminal
The unit is equipped with a Front Input connector for the
convenient connection of a video camera or other equipment.
12.Video Conversion Function
The AVR-2805/985 is equipped with a function for up-converting
video signals.
Because of this, the AVR-2805/985’s MONITOR OUT jack can be
connected to the monitor (TV) with a set of cables offering a higher
quality connection, regardless of how the player and the AVR-
2805/985’s video input jacks are connected.
13.Component Video Switching
In addition to composite video and “S” video switching, the AVR-
2805/985 provides 3 sets of component video (Y, P
B
/CB, P
R/CR)
inputs, and one set of component video outputs to the television,
for superior picture quality.
14.TRIGGER OUT
AVR-2805/985 is equipped with 2 systems of 12V TRIGGER
OUT connections. Each output can be activated upon the
selection of assigned. Main Zone inputs or zone2 inputs.
15.RS-232C Terminal
Includes a RS--232C port to support an AMX, Crestron integrated
control system.
16.AC INLET
Detachable AC CORD is used.
17.Auto Surround Mode
This function stores the surround mode last used for an input
signal in the memory and automatically sets that surround mode
the next time that signal is input.
18.Large-sized fluorescent display
A large-sized fluorescent display is used which also permits a
check of the input/output channels.
19.Audio delay
This is a function for delaying the audio signal with respect to the
video signal. (0 to 200 msec)
20.Preset Memory Tuning
56-Station AM/FM Random Preset Memory tuning.
