AVR-3805

Finest DSP employed for faster processing in the New D.D.S.C-Digital circuitry and higher sound quality

D.D.S.C.-Digital is a circuit configuration specially designed by DENON in which all elements of the surround processor are optimized through the use of selected high performance discrete components, including separate A/D and D/A converters, with sophisticated DSP surround decoding.

New D.D.S.C.-Digital incorporates the latest devices and also DENON LINK digital circuit. For decoding and processing various digital signals with the highest level of accuracy, DENON developed new 32bit floating point DSP for the AVR-3805, so this new D.D.S.C-Digital circuit provide the ultimate in multi-channel performance.

■ DENON LINK multi channel digital audio input

DENON LINK has just been upgraded to the 3rd edition. The new edition now allows the input of Super Audio CD digital signals as well as

DVD-Video/Audio.To transfer audio signals, DENON has developed a unique digital transmission technology, known as DENON LINK. This digitally balanced transfer technology permits jitter-less data transfer and low noise.

The AVR-3805 incorporates this latest digital audio interface, so the enduser will experience absolute finest in audio playback between AVR-3805 and DENON LINK featured DVD player.

*The 3rd edition for DVD output is currently awaiting verification.

■ Component Video Transcoding

• High-grade Up Conversion

This video transcoding to component signals, letting you enjoy high picture quality from all video gear connected to the AVR-3805. Since composite and S-video signals are also converted into component video signals and output to the monitor, all you need to do is connect a monitor that can display component video images.

• 3 Component Inputs

The AVR-3805 is equipped with 3 sets of component inputs and 1 set of monitor outputs (all RCA terminals)

• Broad frequency range up to 100 MHz

A high-performance relay is used to switch signals, and a high frequency range up to 100 MHz is supported.

■ Auto Setup and auto Room EQ Adjust Function with Microphone

The AVR-3805 is equipped with auto set up and room equalizing capability to achieve the ideal sound field for your room. With the microphone placed on your listening position, the powerful new 32bit floating point DSP analyzes accurately and automatically adjusts and sets the speaker configurations for your listening room. Also AVR-3805 analyzes the frequency response with 8 band parametric equalizer and adjust to optimum sound field.

The microphone is equipped high performance microphone unit and heavy duty base to suppress the vibration for accurate analyzing.

■ Pure Direct and AL24 Processing Plus for audiophiles

Pure direct function is designed for audiophiles to enjoy the audio sources.

This function turns off the video circuit and FL display and also digital circuit while the analog playback.

While you playback PCM source, DENON’s waveform technology AL24 plus processing is worked and bring out all the delicate nuances of the music.

■ New EL backlight touch panel remote

The AVR-3805’s remote controller is completely new designed for easy to use. It is featured EL technology, and it gives you a sophisticated design and control.

120 W + 120 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05 % THD)

The AVR-3805 features an equal power 7-channel amplifier section, with identical amplifier design on all 7 channels, with high current discrete output devices on all channels. Each of the 7 amplifier channels is rated at

120 watts, into 8 ohms, from 20 Hz - 20 kHz with no more than 0.05% THD.

■ Designed for high sound quality

• Hefty Power Transformer for Stable Supply of Power

A huge power transformer has been connected in the power section where it is combined with a rectifier diode and a large block capacitor to ensure a large, stable supply of electrical current. Accordingly, the AVR-3805 boasts high output power of 120 W for each of the 7 channels.

• Block Capacitor

A large-capacity block capacitor was developed for the AVR-3805 to ensure a rock stable supply of power.

• AC Cord inlet

• A/B switching between surround speakers ■ Support for Multi Zone Configurations

• The AVR-3805 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. And an independently selected source can be output to Multiroom Zone 3 as a fixed output. The AVR-3805’s Power Amplifier Assign function lets you assign the 2 or 3 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 120 Watts per channel output power, while still providing 5 discrete amplifier channels to drive all speakers in a 5.1 configured home theater room.

• +12 V Trigger Output x2 (Assignable)

• Remote In/Out

• RS232C Control Port to support an AMX, Crestron integrated control system

■ 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

• Auto Surround

The AVR-3805 can automatically store the surround mode for any of four inputs signals: (1) Analog and PCM 2 channel, (2) Bit stream 2-channel

(Dolby Digital, DTS) and (3) Bit stream multi-channel and (4) DENON LINK multi-channel. If the type of input signal changes, the most appropriate surround mode is automatically selected for the signal.

■ Other Features That Enhance Operating Ease

• 1 Set of 8-Channel External Analog Inputs

• New Cosmetic with Trap Door

Large display tube capable of displaying a broad range of information.

All settings can be made using buttons on the main unit.

• Audio Delay Function

Audio Delay function corrects slight lags between sound and picture that can occur when a video signal is processed, such as in a Progressive Scan

DVD player or outboard video processor.

• Variable Gain Volume

S/N in the useable area has been improved. Finer adjustments are also possible in 0.5 dB steps across the extended range of –80 dB to +18 dB.

• Adjustable Cross-Over Switching

The AVR-3805 supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 8 cross-over frequencies: 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 200 and 250 Hz. This lets you more accurately match the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the main speaker system.
