3CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

•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.

4FEATURES

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.

•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.

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, PB/CB, PR/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.
