Denon AVR-485S - Manual

■ High-Quality Sound Reproduction
• NEW High Resolution 32bit Floating Point DSP
• 96 kHz Processing Circuit
• 24 bit, 96 kHz High Resolution D/A Conversion
■ 3 Sets of Component Video Inputs
The AVR-485 is equipped with 3 sets of assignable, component video
inputs and 1set of monitor outputs (all RCA terminals). In addition, this
model has 3 sets of S-Video inputs.
■ Fully Discrete, Equal Power Six Amplifier Channels, 75 Watts Each
Front 110 W + 110 W (6 ohms, 1kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Center 110 W (6 ohms, 1kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Surround 110 W + 110 W (6 ohms, 1kHz, 0.7 % THD)
Surr. Back 110 W (6 ohms, 1kHz, 0.7 % THD)
For optimum Dolby Digital and DTS reproduction, the AVR-485 features high
quality, wideband audio amplification, providing 75 watts power
output for each of the six main channels. A large capacity power supply
which includes a high current power transformer along with discrete power
output devices on all six 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-485 have been meticulously designed to
reproduce exceptionally high sound quality with
a wide frequency response
from 10 Hz to 100 kHz.
■ 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 solid-
ly to the chassis. In addition, a cushioning material has
been placed around the core of the transformer to mini-
mize interference on the signal and enable more faithful
reproduction of the original sound.
The AVR-485 inherits these low-noise design from higher-end models
, l ike
the highly acclaimed AVR-3805 .
• 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 sup-
ply ample current to
accurately reproduce deep bass as well as sudden bursts
of sound from percussion or other musical instruments.
• Large Aluminum Extruded Heatsink
DENON uses large heatsink made of extruded alu-
minum. They have been placed in a design that
ensures mostly uniform temperatures throughout the
heatsink so that the output transistors for all channels
can be driven under uniform conditions. This in turn
ensures that all channels respond with equal perfor-
mance to the demands of the audio signals.
■ Cinema Equalizer
The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other formats
emphasize high
er frequen cies 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-485 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, and DTS surround
modes)
■ Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation
The AVR-485 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 pro-
gram.
■ Acclaimed Customization Feature
As with all of DENON’s high-grade A/V receiver s , the AVR-485 lets you
adjust delay times and other parameters so that you can customize the
performance of the AVR-485 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 surround mode, in Personal Memory Plus
so constant readjustments are not required.
