• INTRODUCTION Thank yeu fer cheosing tile DENON AVR-2805/985 Digital A/V Surround Receiver. This remarkable component has been engineered to provide superb surreund sound listening with heme theater seurces such as DVD, as well as previding eutstanding high fidelity repreduction ef your favorite music seurces. As this preduct is provided with an immense array ef features, we recommend contents ef this manual before proceeding.
[] CAUTIONS ON HANDLING • Switching the input function when input jacks are not connected A clicking noise may be produced if tile input function is switched when nothing is cennected to the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME contrel er connect components te the input jacks. • Whenever the unit is in the STANDBY state, the apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage. Please be sure to turn the power off (lloff) when you leave home for, say, a vacation.
_'1 CONNECTIONS • Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections have been completed. • Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right). • Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections will result in the generation of noise. • Use the AC OUTLETS for audio equipment only. Do not use them for hair driers, etc.
• • • • • To connect the video signal, connect using a 75 £_/ohms video signal cable cord. Using an impreper cable can result in a drop in video quality. When making connections, also refer to the operating instructiens of the other compenents. The AVR-2805/985 is equipped with a functien fer up-converting video signals. The signal connected to the video signal terminal is output to the S-Video and component video menitor out terminals.
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components. • A note on the S input jacks The input selectors for the S inputs and Video inputs work in conjunction with each other. • The AVR-2805/985 is equipped with a function for converting video signals. • The signal connected to the S-Video signal terminal is output to the composite video and component video monitor out terminals.
• When making connections, also refer to the eperating instructions of the ether components. • The signals input to the celor difference (component) video jacks are net outputs to the VIDEO output jack (yeliew) or the S-Videe output jack. • Some vide() sources with compenent video outputs are labeled Y, CB, CR, or Y, Pb, Pr, er Y, R-Y, B>4 These terms all refer to component vide() color difference eutput • The function assigned to the component video input can be changed at the system setup.

• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like polarities are matched (® with _+_,O with ® ). Mismatching of polarities will result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments, and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired. • When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other speaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel.
• This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit. The purpose of this circuit is to protect the speakers under circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently short-circuited and a large current flows, when the temperature surrounding the unit becomes unusually high, or when the unit is used at high output over a long period which results in an extreme temperature rise.
