5 Channel/7 Channel Stereo Mode

DENON's popular 7 Channel Stereo mode transforms your favorite 2-channel sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo video sources into exciting surround sound, free of delay effects and unnatural artifacts, from all 7 speakers. This 7 Channel Stereo mode was originally developed by DENON to enhance music lovers' enjoyment with home theater ambience.

Adjustable Cross-Over Switching

The AVR-785 supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 8 cross-over frequencies: 40/60/80/100/120/150/200/250 Hz. This lets you more accurately match the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the main speaker system.

Support for Multi-Zone Configurations

The AVR-785 provides a Multi Zone Output function and a Select function that let you output different sources to multiple zones. Sources can be selected for output to an additional zone, in addition to the main room.

Multi Zone Power Amplifier Assign

The AVR-785’s Power Amplifier Assign function lets you assign the Surround Back amplifier channels when the system is not configured for 7.1 to instead drive the Multi-room Zone 2 speakers, with 115 Watts per channel output power, while still pro- viding 5 discrete amplifier channels to drive all speakers in a 5.1 configured home theater room.
