Denon AVR-785S User manual

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Dolby Digital EX with Power Amps for 7 Channels
■ High-Quality Sound Reproduction
• NEW High Resolution 32bit Floating Point DSP
• 24 bit, 192 kHz High Resolution D/A Conversion Capability
■High-grade Up Conversion
This video transcoding (up-conversion) allows you to enjoy high picture quality from
all video sources connected to the AVR-785. Since composite and S-video signals
are up-converted into component video signals and output to the monitor, all you
need to do is connect a monitor that has component video input jacks.
■ 3 Sets of Component Video Inputs
The AVR-785 is equipped with 3 sets of component video inputs and 1set of monitor
outputs.
■ DENON's Basic Design for High-Quality Sound Reproduction
• Power Transformer for High Power Driven
The chassis that supports the large transformer has been
designed to absorb vibration, and the transformer is housed
inside a highly rigid frame to secure it more solidly to the chassis.
In addition, a cushioning material has been placed around the
core of the transformer to minimize interference on the signal
and enable more faithful reproduction of the original sound. The
AVR-785 inherits these low-noise design from higher-end models
not to mention the use of short ring.
• Twin Drive Rectifier
DENON's Twin Drive Rectifier design uses two rectifying
diodes in parallel to bring out the maximum potential of the
large transformer. Since the rectifiers recharge the large block
capacitors at low impedance, they are able to supply ample
current to accurately reproduce deep basses as well as sudden
bursts of sound from percussion or other musical instruments.
• Large Aluminum Extruded Heatsink
DENON uses a large heatsink made of extruded aluminum. It
is placed in a design that ensures mostly uniform temperatures
throughout the heatsink. This will ensures that all channels
respond with equal performance to the demands of the audio
signals.
■ Fully Discrete, Equal Power 7 Amplifier Channels, 115 Watts Each
Front 115 W + 115 W
(6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Center 115 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Surround 115 W + 115 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Surround Back 115 W + 115 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
For optimum Dolby Digital and dts reproduction, the AVR-785 features high quality,
wideband audio amplification, providing 115 watts power output for each of the seven
main channels. A large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer
along with discrete power output devices on all seven amplifier channels for highest
dynamic range and superb reproduction clarity.
■ Wide-Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
The power amp circuits of the AVR-785 have been meticulously designed to reproduce
the exceptionally high sound quality with wide frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz.
■ Dual-Channel Surround Back Power Amp for 7.1 Surround
The AVR-785 is equipped with a total of 7 power amps including 2 for the Surround
Back channel speaker to give you more clearly defined sound localization at the rear
for 6.1-channel surround sources such as DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, DTS-ES Matrix 6.1,
Dolby Digital EX, and DTS-ES NEO:6.
■ Cinema Equalizer
The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other formats
emphasizes high-frequency range due to a theater’s front speakers being placed
behind the movie screen. If this sound is reproduced in the home theater without
correction, the high-frequency range is too strong. The AVR-785 features a Cinema
Equalizer to correct these high-frequency components so that the sound is clearer
and easier to listen to. (For Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, Dolby Digital EX and
DTS surround modes)
■ Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation
The AVR-785 includes the Personal Memory Plus function that automatically
remembers the surround mode you last used for each program source, so that you do not
need to select the mode again for that program.
■ On Screen Display
The AVR-785 lets you make system settings via diaplays on your TV screen from the
comfort of your chair.

■ Acclaimed Customization Feature
As with all of DENON’s high-grade A/V receiver, the AVR-785 lets you adjust delay
times and other parameters so that you can customize the performance of the AVR-785
to suit your own home theater and enhance operating ease. These customized features
are then stored, for each source input and surround mode, in Personal Memory Plus so
constant readjustments are not required.
■ Multi-Function Preset Memory Remote Controller with GLO-Keys
The supplied system remote controller features a large selection of remote control
codes to operate other components in your home theater system, including codes for
selected DENON models, along with remote control codes from other manufacturers.
The most frequently used buttons are laid out separately for TV, VCR and DVD, for
maximum ease-of-use.
* Remote control codes may not be available for some products of other manufacturers
■ DENON's Latest Surround Technology Faithfully Recreates the
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
■ 5 Channel/7 Channel Stereo Mode
DENON's popular 7 Channel Stereo mode transforms your favorite 2-channel
sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo video sources into exciting surround
sound, free of delay effects and unnatural artifacts, from all 7 speakers. This 7 Channel
Stereo mode was originally developed by DENON to enhance music lovers' enjoyment
with home theater ambience.
■Adjustable Cross-Over Switching
The AVR-785 supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 8 cross-over
frequencies: 40/60/80/100/120/150/200/250 Hz. This lets you more accurately match the
performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the main speaker system.
■Support for Multi-Zone Configurations
The AVR-785 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 Zone Power Amplifier Assign
The AVR-785’s Power Amplifier Assign function lets you assign the Surround Back
amplifier channels when the system is not configured for 7.1 to instead drive the
Multi-room Zone 2 speakers, with 115 Watts per channel output power, while still pro-
viding 5 discrete amplifier channels to drive all speakers in a 5.1 configured home
theater room.
