Denon AVR-685 Home Theater System User Manual


 
Acclaimed Customization Feature
As with all of DENON’s high-grade A/V receiver, the AVR-685 lets you adjust delay
times and other parameters so that you can customize the performance of the
AVR-685 to suit your own home theater and enhance operating ease.
The adjustments are easy to make via a dialog format on the fluorescent display on the
front panel. These customized features are then stored, for each source input and sur-
round 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 cannot be used with the products of other manufacturers and some DENON products.
