A/V Surround Receiver The AVR-3805 incorporates DENON LINK 3rd Edition*, this new edition now allows the input of uncompressed Super Audio CD digital signals as well as DVD-Video/Audio. To transfer high resolution, multi-channel digital audio signals, DENON has developed a unique digital transmission technology, known as DENON LINK. This digitally balanced transfer technology permits jitter-less data transfer and ultra-low noise. The AVR-3805 incorporates this latest digital audio interface, so the end user will experience the absolute finest in audio playback between the AVR-3805 and a DENON LINK featured DVD player. *The 3rd Edition for DVD/Super Audio CD output for DVD players is currently awaiting verification. DENON LINK multi channel digital audio input New EL Backlight Touch Panel Remote The AVR-3805's remote controller is a completely new design, focusing heavily on ease of use. It features Electro-Luminescence technology which offers sophisticated design and extraordinary control. This remote will automatically activate the backlighting when the user picks the remote up. Component Video Conversion · High-grade Up Conversion This video transcoding technology lets you enjoy highest picture quality from all video gear connected to the AVR-3805. Since composite and S-video signals are converted up to component video signals and output to the monitor, all you need to do is connect a monitor that can display component video images. · 3 Sets of Component Video Inputs The AVR-3805 is equipped with 3 sets of assignable, component video inputs and 1set of monitor outputs (all RCA terminals) · High Definition Quality Video Switching The high-performance relay that is used to switch component video signals, features an extended bandwidth range up to 100 MHz. Auto Setup and Room EQ Function with Optional Microphone The AVR-3805 is equipped with an Auto Setup and Room Equalization function, to achieve the most ideal sound field for your room. With the optional microphone placed at your listening position, the powerful new 32bit floating point DSP automatically and accurately analyzes, adjusts and sets the speaker configurations of your system. Also, the AVR-3805 analyzes and adjusts the frequency response of the speakers to the room with an 8 band parametric equalizer. The optional microphone (DM-S305) is a specially designed, high performance unit with a heavy duty base to suppress vibrations for accurate analyzing.

Sources can be selected for output to an additional zones, in addition to the main room. Multi-room Zone 2 can have variable pre-amp output along with a composite video feed. And an independently selected audio source can be output to Multi-room Zone 3 with a fixed pre-amp output. The AVR-3805's Power Amplifier Assign function lets you assign the 2 Surround Back (SB L/R) amplifier channels when the system is not configured for 7.1, to instead drive the Multi-room Zone 2, or 3, speakers, with 120 Watts per channel output power, while still providing 5 discrete amplifier channels to drive all speakers in a 5.1 configured home theater room. · +12 V Trigger Output x2 (Assignable) · Remote In/Out Ports · RS232C Control Port to support an AMX, Crestron integrated control system Surround Sound Produced at the Dubbing Stage. · DTS 96/24 Decoding for DVD-Video · DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1 · DTS NEO:6 · Dolby Digital EX · Dolby Pro Logic IIx · Auto Surround The AVR-3805 can automatically store the surround mode for any of four inputs signals: (1) Analog and PCM 2 channel, (2) Bit stream 2-channel (Dolby Digital, DTS) and (3) Bit stream multi-channel and (4) DENON LINK multichannel. If the type of input signal changes, the most appropriate surround mode is automatically selected for the signal.
