Denon AVR-1705 - Manual

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Dolby Digital EX with Power Amps for 6 Channels
■ High-Quality Surround Sound Reproduction
• NEW High Resolution 32bit Floating Point DSP
• 96 kHz Processing Circuit
• 24 bit,
192 kHz High Resolution D/A Conversion
■ Component Video Conversion
• High-grade Up Conversion
This video transcoding technology lets you enjoy highest picture quality from all video
gear connected to the AVR-1705. Since composite and S-video signals are converted
up to component video signals and output to the monitor, all you need to do is con-
nect a monitor that can display component video images.
• 3 Sets of Component Video Inputs
The AVR-1705 is equipped with 3 sets of assignable, component video inputs and
1set of monitor outputs (all RCA terminals)
• High Definition Quality Video Switching
The high-performance relay that is used to switch component video signals, features
an extended bandwidth range up to 100 MHz.
■ Fully Discrete, Equal Power Six Amplifier Channels, 75 Watts Each
Front
75 W + 75 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
Center 75 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
Surround 75 W + 75 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
Surround Back 75 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08 % THD)
For optimum Dolby Digital and DTS reproduction, the AVR-1705 features high quality,
wideband audio amplification, providing 75 watts power output for each of the six main
channels. The large capacity power supply includes a high current power transformer
along with discrete power output devices on all six amplifier channels for high dynam-
ic 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 transformer to minimize interference on the signal
and enable more faithful reproduction of the original sound. The
AVR-1705 inherits th is low-noise design from higher-end models,
like the 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
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 large heatsink made of extruded aluminum. They
have been placed in a design that ensures mostly uniform tem-
peratures 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 performance to
the demands of the audio signals.
■ Wide-Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
The power amp circuits of the AVR-1705 have been meticulously designed to reproduce
the exceptionally high sound quality with wide frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz.
■ Cinema Equalizer
The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other
formats emphasize the high-frequency range due to a theater’s front speakers being
placed behind the movie screen. If this sound is reproduced in the home theater with-
out correction, the high-frequency range is too strong. The AVR-1705 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, Dolby Digital EX and DTS surround modes)
■ Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation
The AVR-1705 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.
■ Acclaimed Customization Feature
As with all of DENON’s high-grade A/V receiver
s, the AVR-1705 lets you adjust delay
times and other parameters so that you can customize the performance of the
AVR-1705 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.
