Denon AVR-785S - 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.
