DTS-ES and Dolby Digital EX A/V Receiver

AVR-885

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Dolby Digital EX with Power Amps for 7 Channels

■High-Quality Sound Reproduction

•NEW High Resolution 32bit Floating Point DSP

•24 bit, 192 kHz High Resolution D/A Conversion Capability

■Auto Setup with Microphone

The AVR-885 is equipped with an Auto Setup function, to achieve the most ideal sound field for your room. With the microphone placed at your listening position, the powerful new 32bit floating point DSP accurately analyzes and automatically adjusts the speaker configu- rations for your room. The microphone (DM-S305) is a specially designed, high performance unit with a heavy duty base to suppresses vibrations for accurate analyzing.

■High-grade Up Conversion

This video transcoding (up-conversion) allows you to enjoy high picture quality from all video sources connected to the AVR-885. Since composite and S-video signals are up-converted into component video signals and output to the monitor, all you need to do is connect a monitor that has component video input jacks.

■3 Sets of Component Video Inputs

The AVR-885 is equipped with 3 sets of assignable, component video inputs and 1 set of monitor outputs (all RCA terminals)

■Fully Discrete, Equal Power Seven Amplifier Channels, 125 Watts Each

Front	125	W + 125 W	(6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Center	125	W	(6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Surround	125	W + 125 W	(6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Surround Back	125	W + 125 W	(6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)

For optimum Dolby Digital and dts reproduction, the AVR-885 features high quality, wideband audio amplification, providing 125 watts 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.

• Twin Drive Rectifier

DENON's Twin Drive Rectifier design uses two rectifying diodes in parallel to bring out the maximum potential of the large trans- former. 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

DENON uses a large heatsink made of extruded aluminum. It is placed in a design that ensures mostly uniform temperatures throughout the heatsink. This will ensures that all channels respond with equal performance to the demands of the audio signals.

■Dual-Channel Surround Back Power Amp for 7.1 Surround

The AVR-885 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.

■Wide-Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD

The power amp circuits of the AVR-885 have been meticulously designed to reproduce exceptionally high sound quality with a wide frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz.

■Cinema Equalizer

The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other formats emphasizes high-frequency 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-885 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 II and IIx, Dolby Digital EX and DTS sur- round modes)

■DENON's Basic Design for High-Quality Sound Reproduction

• Power Transformer for High Power Driven

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 trans- former to minimize interference on the signal and enable more faithful reproduction of the original sound.

The AVR-885 inherits these low-noise design from higher-end mod- els not to mention the use of short ring.

■On Screen Display

The AVR-885 lets you make system settings via diaplays on your TV screen from the comfort of your chair.

■Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation

The AVR-885 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.
