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
■
Auto Setup with Microphone
The AVR-885 is equipped with an Auto Setup function, to achieve the
most ideal sound field for your room. With the microphone placed at
your listening position, the powerful new 32bit floating point DSP
accurately analyzes and automatically adjusts the speaker configu-
rations for your room. The microphone (DM-S305) is a specially
designed, high performance unit with a heavy duty base to suppresses
vibrations for accurate analyzing.
■
High-grade Up Conversion
This video transcoding (up-conversion) allows you to enjoy high picture quality from
all video sources connected to the AVR-885. 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-885 is equipped with 3 sets of assignable, component video inputs
and 1 set of monitor outputs (all RCA terminals)
■
Fully Discrete, Equal Power Seven Amplifier Channels, 125 Watts Each
Front 125 W + 125 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Center 125 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Surround 125 W + 125 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Surround Back 125 W + 125 W (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 0.7 % THD)
For optimum Dolby Digital and dts reproduction, the AVR-885 features high quality,
wideband audio amplification, providing 125 watts power output for each of the 7 main
channels. A large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer
along with discrete power output devices on all 7 amplifier channels for highest dynamic
range and superb reproduction clarity.

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 trans-
former to minimize interference on the signal and enable more
faithful reproduction of the original sound.
The AVR-885 inherits these low-noise design from higher-end mod-
els 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 trans-
former. Since the rectifiers recharge the large block capacitors
at low impedance, they are able to supply ample current to
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.
■
Dual-Channel Surround Back Power Amp for 7.1 Surround
The AVR-885 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.
■
Wide-Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
The power amp circuits of the AVR-885 have been meticulously designed to reproduce
exceptionally high sound quality with a wide frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz.
■
Cinema Equalizer
The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other formats
emphasizes high-frequency 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-885 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 II and IIx, Dolby Digital EX and DTS sur-
round modes)
■
On Screen Display
The AVR-885 lets you make system settings via diaplays on your TV screen from the
comfort of your chair.
■
Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation
The AVR-885 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.
