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-3805 can be decoded with DTS-ES Extended Surround, a multi-channel format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. The AVR-3805 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-3805 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-3805 with high sound quality of 96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2 kHz/24 bits. 7. HDCD decoder equipped 10.AL24 Processing for All Channels DENON has further developed its proprietary AL24 Processing, an analog waveform reproduction technology, to support the 192-kHz sampling frequency of DVD-Audio,AL24 Processing Plus, thoroughly suppresses quantization noise associated with D/A conversion of LPCM signals to reproduce the low-level signals with optimum clarity that will bring out all the delicate nuances of the signals with optimum clarity that will bring out all the delicate nuances of the music. Equipped for not only the front left and right channels but also for the surround left and right, center and subwoofer channels. 11.Auto Setup/Room EQ Use of the optional 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. Auto setup requires an optional microphone for setup use. 12.Dual Surround Speaker Mode Provides for the first time the ability to optimize surround sound reproduction using two different types of surround sound speakers as well as two different surround speaker positions: (1) Movie Surround Motion picture soundtracks use the surround channel(s) to provide the ambient elements of the acoustic environment they want the audience to realize. This is best accomplished by the use of specially-designed surround speakers that offer a wide diffusion pattern (bipolar dispersion) or by using surround speakers that provide broad dispersion with a minimum of onaxis localization (dipolar dispersion). Side wall mounting (closer to the ceiling) of the surround speakers provides the greatest envelopment, minimizing localization of direct sound from the speakers. (2) Music Surround With full range discrete surround channels, as well as three discrete full range front channels, digital formats such as Dolby and DTS offer thrilling surround sound music listening. Producers of multi-channel discrete digital music recordings almost always favor the use of direct radiating (monopolar) surround speakers, placed in the rear corners of the room, since that is how they configure their studios during the mixing/creation process. The DENON AVR-3805 provides the ability to connect two different sets of surround speakers, and place them in the appropriate locations in your AV theater room, so that you can enjoy both movie soundtracks and music listening, with optimum results and no compromise. 13.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 and ZONE3) simultaneously. Connection with a player that supports HDCD playback allows the features of HDCD to be extracted, namely the characteristics of high resolution and low distortion, and fusion with the digital technology that is contained in the AVR-3805 allows for the exhibition of the high sound quality of HDCD. 8. DENON LINK The connection of one cable to our DVD player, which supports digital transfer, permits the digital transfer of DVD audio, and DVD multi-channel audio for an enjoyable experience of higher sound quality digital sound with low transfer losses. 9. NEW D.D.S.C-Digital New 32-bit floating point DSP is used for digital transfer processing. Furthermore, operation of D/A and DIR at up to 192 kHz supports the digital transfer of DVD audio by DENON LINK. 5 14.Future Sound Format Upgrade Capability via Eight Channel Inputs & Outputs For future multi-channel audio format(s), the AVR-3805 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.

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. 16 6 PART NAMES AND FUNCTIONS Front Panel · For details on the functions of these parts, refer to the pages given in parentheses ( ). @8 @7 @6 @5 @4 #2#1 #0 @9 #3 qw !2 oe!4 oe!6 oe!9 oe!3 oe!5 oe!7 oe!8 oe@0@1@2@3 CH SEL ENTER tu o e r y i oe!0 !1 q Power ON/STANDBY switch....................................................(62) w Power switch .....................................................................(62, 87) e Headphone jack (PHONES) ......................................................(67) r INPUT MODE button ...............................................................(63) t ANALOG button .......................................................................(63) y EXT.
