3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING • Switching the input function when input jacks are not connected A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components to the input jacks. • Muting of PRE OUT jacks and SPEAKER terminals The PRE OUT jacks and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced for several seconds after the power switch is turned on or input function, surround mode or any other-set-up is changed. If the volume is turned up during this time, the output will be very high after the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait until the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume. • Whenever the power switch is in the STANDBY state, the apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage. Please be sure to turn off the power switch or unplug the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation. 4 FEATURES 1. DENON Proprietary Digital Technology 1) NEW D.D.S.C.-Digital (Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit) Powered by four high performance, high speed 32 bit floating point DSP processors, the AVR-5805 represents the pinnacle of precision DSP processing technology. Unlike competitive units, DENON's discrete surround technology consists of selected individual processors and ancillary elements, working in harmony via proprietary DENON inter-IC digital communication technology. 2) DENON Link With select DENON DVD players that feature DENON Link digital outputs, encrypted digital multi-channel audio transfers to the AVR-5805 directly, eliminating unnecessary digital-toanalog and subsequent analog-to-digital conversions for the highest possible signal transfer integrity. The DENON Link function supports up to ultra high resolution 192 kHz DVD-A digital datastreams, for maximum reproduced fidelity. 3) Latest AL24 DSP Processing DENON's acclaimed Advanced AL24 DSP processing improves the fidelity of high resolution stereo PCM sources such as CD and DVD (up to 192 kHz sampling frequencies), by sophisticated DSP processing algorithms that improve low level detail and enhance fidelity by upsampling and adaptive filtering techniques. Advanced AL24 provides increased dynamic range and spatial information; bring out all the nuances with optimum clarity and natural fidelity. 4) AL24 DSP Processing For All Channels For the AVR-5805, DENON's AL24 processing supports multichannel DVD-Audio for all channels, including the Zone2 multichannel theater channels, for optimum fidelity and low level detail reproduction in both the main zone as well as the second multi-channel Zone2 system. 2. Latest Surround Decoding Technology 1) Dolby Digital Using advanced digital audio compression and decoding technologies, Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of wide bandwidth, wide dynamic range multi-channel high fidelity surround sound. Dolby Digital is the default digital multichannel audio delivery system for DVD and USA/Canada high definition television systems. 2) Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic IIx adds the ability to provide up to 7.1 channel reproduction from conventional stereo (2 channel) sources, including surround back reproduction with a 6.1 or 7.1 surround sound system. Pro Logic IIx has three modes: one for moviebased soundtracks; one for stereo music sources, and a game mode for game consoles with stereo (2 channel) audio outputs. 3) Dolby Headphone Developed jointly by Dolby Laboratories and Lake Technology Ltd. of Australia, Dolby Headphone decoding provides thrilling surround sound effects of your favorite movie and music sources when using conventional stereo headphones. 4) DTS (Digital Theater Systems) DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround sound from sources such as DTS-encoded CDs, DVDs with DTS soundtracks, and DVD-Audio discs that provide DTS soundtracks. 5) DTS-ES Extended Surround and DTS Neo:6 The AVR-5805 also supports the DTS-ES 6.1 matrix and discrete encoded surround formats, and also features DTS Neo:6 stereo-to-surround decoding with both Music and Movie modes for superb surround sound from conventional stereo sources. 6) DTS 96/24 Decoding Digital Theater Systems 96/24 provides ultra high resolution 24 bit, 96 kHz sampling for optimum wide bandwidth fidelity and superb dynamic range. The AVR-5805 is equipped to faithfully decode DTS 96/24 discs. 7) HDCD High Definition Compatible Digital Using sophisticated encoding and decoding technologies, the HDCD format provides improved fidelity and dynamic range from encoded Compact Discs (which number in the thousands of titles). The AVR-5805, via a standard digital audio connection from a CD player or DVD player, internally recognizes and decodes HDCD discs for optimum fidelity and widest dynamic range. 8) Home THX Ultra2 Certified Home THX is the unique collaboration between THX Ltd. and audio/video equipment manufacturers. THX Ultra2 certification is the highest performance level, and provides a rigorous set of performance standards along with proprietary surround sound post-processing technologies, all designed to maximize the surround soundtrack playback experience in the home theater. In addition, the AVR-5805 is fully compatible with THX Surround EX, which provides extended surround sound via additional surround back channel reproduction, first employed on Lucasfilms' Star Wars Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace, and featured on many major motion pictures since. As well, the AVR-5805's power amplifier section fully complies with the latest THX Ultra2 standards, and two new addition surround modes are also provided - THX Ultra2 Cinema mode and THX Music mode. In addition, the AVR-5805 also incorporates THX's new THX Games mode, for thrilling surround sound effects from two channel game box audio sources. 7
