NEW MODEL I N F O R M AT I O N DTS-ES and Dolby Digital EX A/V Receiver AVR-485 TENTATIVE DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Dolby Digital EX with Power Amps for 6 Channels s High-Quality Sound Reproduction • NEW High Resolution 32bit Floating Point DSP • 96 kHz Processing Circuit • 24 bit, 96 kHz High Resolution D/A Conversion s 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. s 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. s 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. s 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-485 inherits these low-noise design from higher-end models, like 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 supply 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 aluminum. 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 performance to the demands of the audio signals. s Cinema Equalizer The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other formats emphasize higher frequencies 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) s 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 program. s Acclaimed Customization Feature As with all of DENON's high-grade A/V receivers, 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.
