Always set the power switch to the standby position before connecting and disconnecting connection cords. · Store this instructions in a safe place. After reading, store this instructions along with the warranty in a safe place. · Note that the illustrations in this instructions may differ from the actual set for explanation purposes. 2 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION 4 inch/10 cm or more Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this unit or any other electronic equipment using microprocessors is used near a tuner or TV. If this happens, take the following steps: · Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV. · Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit's power cord and input/output connection cords. · Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor antennas or 300 /ohms feeder wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75 /ohms coaxial cables. For heat dispersal, leave at least 4 inch/10 cm of space between the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other components. 4 inch/10 cm or more Wall 4 3 CAUTIONS 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. · 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. 4 FEATURES 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.

For details, carefully read the operating instructions included with the TV or other component. MONITOR OUT jacks 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 AVR2805/985's video input jacks are connected. Generally speaking, connections using the component video jacks offer the highest quality playback, followed by connections using the S-Video jacks, then connections using the regular video jacks (yellow). NOTE: Down-converting from the component video signal to the S-Video and composite video signal is not possible, so when not using the component video monitor output terminal connect the player using the S-Video or composite video input terminal. Cautions on the video conversion function: When the component video terminals are used to connect the AVR2805/985 with a TV (or monitor, projector, etc.) and the video (yellow) or S video terminals are used to connect the AVR-2805/985 with a VTR, depending on the combination of the TV and VTR the picture may flicker in the horizontal direction, be distorted, be out of sync or not display at all when playing video tapes. If this happens, connect a commercially available video stabilizer, etc., with a TBC (time base corrector) function between the AVR-2805/985 and the VTR, or if your VTR has a TBC function, turn it on. The Video Conversion Function With the AVR-2805/985, the Video signal and the S-video signal which were inputted are converted mutually. And also the Video signal and the S-Video signal which were inputted are converted into a higher quality.

Mismatching of polarities will result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments, and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired. · When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other speaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel. NOTE: NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shocks. Speaker Impedance · Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 /ohms can be connected for use as front and center speakers. · Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 /ohms can be connected for use as surround speakers. · Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the same time, since use of speakers with an impedance of less than 8 /ohms will lead to damage. · The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance are connected. Connection the speaker terminals 1. Loosen by turning counterclockwise 2. Insert the cord. 3. Tighten by turning clockwise. Connecting banana plugs Either tightly twist or terminate the core wires. banana plug Turn clockwise to tighten, then insert the banana plug.

The purpose of this circuit is to protect the speakers under circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently short-circuited and a large current flows, when the temperature surrounding the unit becomes unusually high, or when the unit is used at high output over a long period which results in an extreme temperature rise. When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off and the power supply indicator LED flashes. Should this occur, please follow these steps: be sure to switch off the power of this unit, check whether there are any faults with the wiring of the speaker cables or input cables, and wait for the unit to cool down if it is very hot. Improve the ventilation condition around the unit and switch the power back on. If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the unit, switch off the power and contact a DENON service center. Note on speaker impedance · The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance (for example speakers with an impedance of lower than 4 /ohms) are connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn off the set's power, wait for the set to cool down, improve the ventilation around the set, then turn the power back on. 14 6 PART NAMES AND FUNCTIONS Front Panel · For details on the functions of these parts, refer to the pages given in parentheses ( ). @4 @3 @2 @1 @0 @8 @7 @6 @5 w qe y i !0 !2 r t u o !1 !3 !4 !5 !6 !7 !8 !9 q Power ON/STANDBY switch....................................................(58) w POWER indicator......................................................................(58) e Power switch .....................................................................(58, 85) r Headphone jack (PHONES) ......................................................(63) t INPUT MODE button ...............................................................(59) y ANALOG button .......................................................................(59) u EXT.
