Basic Operation

DENON original surround modes

•The AVR-5805CI is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal processing to synthetically recreate the sound field. One of ten preset surround modes can be selected according to the program source and the parameters can be adjusted according to the conditions in the listening room to achieve a more realistic, powerful sound.

Surround modes and their features

 

 

Select this to achieve an atmosphere like that of a movie theater with a large screen. In this mode,

1

WIDE SCREEN

all signal sources are played in the 7.1 channel mode, including Dolby Surround and Dolby Digital 5.1

channel sources. Effects simulating the multi surround speakers of movie theaters are added to the

 

 

 

 

surround channels.

 

 

 

2

SUPER

Select this when watching baseball or soccer programs to achieve a sound as if you were actually at

STADIUM

the stadium. This mode provides the longest reverberation signals.

 

3

ROCK ARENA

Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected sounds coming from

all directions.

 

 

 

 

 

4

JAZZ CLUB

This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls. This mode gives

jazz a very vivid realism.

 

 

 

 

 

5

CLASSIC

Select this for the sound of a concert hall rich in reverberations.

CONCERT

 

 

6

MONO MOVIE

Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.

(NOTE)

 

 

7

VIDEO GAME

Use this to enjoy video game sources.

 

 

 

Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in stereo. Signals

8 MATRIXconsisting of the difference component of the input signals (the component that provides the sense of expansion) processed for delay are output from the surround channel.

9

VIRTUAL

Select this mode to enjoy a virtual sound field, produced from the front 2 channel speakers.

This mode can be selected when surround playback is being performed in ZONE2.

 

 

 

 

 

The front left channel signals are output to the surround and surround back signal left channels, the

front right channel signals are output to the surround and surround back signal right channels, and the

10 9CH STEREO in-phase component of the left and right channels is output to the center channel. Use this mode to enjoy stereo sound.

Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.

In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes.

NOTE: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one channel (left or right), so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a “Y” adaptor cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.

2Personal Memory Plus

This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected for the input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled.

The surround parameters, tone control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for each surround mode.
