AVR-685

Acclaimed Customization Feature

As with all of DENON’s high-grade A/V receiver, the AVR-685 lets you adjust delay times and other parameters so that you can customize the performance of the AVR-685 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 sur- round mode, in Personal Memory Plus so constant readjustments are not required.
