Denon AVR-985S Brochure

A/V Surround Receiver
AVR-985
The AVR-985 is Denon's latest addition of versatile A/V Receivers, which incorporate all
current surround formats and enhanced installation flexibility, all with great
simplicity of setup and operation.
DENON's Latest Surround Technology Faithfully Recreates
the Surround Sound Produced at the Dubbing Stage.
• Finest DSP employed for faster processing better sound quality
AVR-985 features latest generation 32bit floating point DSP to decode all
current surround formats, 96kHz signals and also to process room equalization.
This DSP's processing power allows even the analogue input signals in all
surround modes to be handled at 96kHz, which undoubtedly assures
never-before-experienced high quality.
• Various Decoding
DTS 96/24 Decoding for DVD-Video/ DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1
DTS NEO:6/ Dolby Digital EX/ Dolby ProLogic IIx
• Fully Discrete, Equal Power Seven Amplifier Channels, 100 Watts Each
Front ..................... 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)
Center................... 100 W
Surround............... 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)
Surround Back ..... 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)
The AVR-985 features an equal power 7-channel amplifier section, with
identical amplifier design and high current discrete output devices on all 7
channels. Each of the 7 amplifier channels is rated at 100 watts, into 8 ohms,
from 20 Hz - 20 kHz with no more than 0.05% THD.
Component Video Conversion
• Up Conversion
This video conversion technology lets you enjoy the highest picture quality from
all video sources connected to the AVR-985. Since composite and S-video sig-
nals are converted up to component video signals and output to the monitor, this
allows you to connect all your video sources to a monitor using only one
cable.
• Down Conversion from S-Video to Composite
• 3 Sets of Component Video Inputs
The AVR-985 is equipped with 3 sets of assignable, component video inputs
and 1set of monitor outputs with on screen display.
• 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 Auto Room EQ Function with Microphone
The AVR-985 is equipped with an Auto Setup and Room
Equalization function, to achieve the most ideal sound
field for your room. With the accompanying 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-985 analyzes and adjusts the frequency response
of the speakers to the room with an 8 band parametric equalizer. The micro-
phone (DM-S305) is a especially designed, high performance unit with a
heavy duty base to suppress vibrations for accurate analyzing.
• Room EQ Memory
The AVR-985 provides for a maximum of 4 equalizing curves called "normal",
"front", "flat" and "manual" to be stored into memory. Normal, front and flat are
automatically memorized during the 'Auto Room EQ' Setup, allowing you easy
selection of your favorite EQ curve without having to run 'Auto Setup' again.
• Assignable Room EQ
The AVR-985 permits assigning of an EQ curve for each surround mode
as well as selecting the EQ to be 'On' or 'Off' for the Direct/Pure Direct modes.
Support for Multi Zone Configurations
• ZONE2 audio capability
The AVR-985 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-room
Zone 2 can have variable pre-amp output along with composite video feed.
• ZONE2 composite video output capability
• Powered Zone2
The AVR-985'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 speakers, with 100 Watts per
channel output power, while still providing 5 discrete amplifier channels to
drive all speakers in a 5.1 configured home theater room.
• RS232C Control Port to support an AMX, Crestron integrated control system
• +12 V Trigger Output x 2 (Assignable)
• Remote In/Out Ports
