3. Movie & Music Surround For The Whole House The AVR-5805's versatile Multi Source functions let you select different audio and video sources for each room in your home. Different audio and video multi-channel sources can be enjoyed in the home theater (Main room), as well as a multi-channel audio and video source directed to a second room. Additional zones (3 and 4) can also receive video and stereo audio as well. The AVR5805 features Freely Assignable Ten Power Amp Channels, so that you can decide which power amp channels can be dedicated to the main zone, the secondary zone (Zone2) as well as to two additional zones (Zone3 and Zone4), as well as providing line level outputs to external power amplifiers. 1) Zone2 Theater Capability With up to 9.1 system in the main home theater room, the AVR-5805 provides for a second, fully 5.1 capable system in Zone2, with component video and five amplifier channels as well, with video up-conversion if desired. 2) Zone3 Independent Audio & Video The AVR-5805 provides the ability for a third independent zone, with selectable audio and video sources. 3) Zone4 Independent Audio Zone4 is ideal for a room where you can enjoy a different stereo source, for background music listening. 4. Ten High Power Assignable Power Amplifiers 1) Featuring high current, THX-certified high power amplifier channels, the AVR-5805 is equipped to drive high performance loudspeakers with unprecedented dynamic range and low impedance drive capability, with each of the ten amplifier channels rated at 170 W into 8 Ω/ohms. Each channel can be freely assigned to the main home theater room, as well as assigned to additional zones for multi-channel or stereo or even monophonic distributed audio/video and audio-only functions. For example, you might choose to have seven amplifier channels dedicated to a full THX Surround EX & DTS Surround EX 7.1 channel system in the main room, while still allowing a powered stereo function in the second zone, and a third monophonic background music function in another room. Or, you could have a principal 5.1 channel setup in the main home theater room, while having a secondary powered 5.1 system in the second zone. You could even have (with compatible biamplified-capable speakers) a true 5.1 bi-amped system in the main room, along with additional line-level-powered systems in up to three additional rooms. 5. Audiophile Audio Quality Throughout 1) Separated Pure Audio & Video Chassis Construction For optimum audio and video quality, the AVR-5805 features dedicated and physically separated low and high level audio and video circuits to prevent degrading mutual interference. 2) Optimum Chassis Stability As the AVR-5805 is equipped with a massive toroidal main power supply and additional secondary power supplies, centrally located within the chassis, a fifth chassis foot helps reduce the physical vibration that can cause mechanicallyinduced vibration-related distortions. 3) Multiple Separate Power Supply Topologies No less than six individual power transformers (one very large toroidal unit, and five additional lower voltage power transformer units) are provided, ensuring that each critical subsection draws power from its own dedicated supply, eliminating minute fluctuations that occur with single transformer-equipped competitive units. 4) Multiple Toroidal Sub-Windings The massive main toroidal power transformer (which powers the ten amplifier channels block) features dedicated subwindings and high current, ultra stable DC rectifiers and high rated smoothing/storage capacitors, with a tremendous 132,000 µF total storage capacity. 8 5) Pure Direct Mode According to the selected input source, the Pure Direct Mode provides the optimum decoding by switching off any and all unnecessary processing (video disable, tone bybass, and other unnecessary circuits). 6) Dual Surround Speaker Mode DENON was the first to introduce Dual Surround Mode Speaker Switching, where two different types (and positions) of surround speakers could be chosen according to the source material - diffuse surround speakers located at the sides of the listening position for movie surround sound, and directional surround speakers located at the room's rear corners for music surround sound. The AVR-5805 also adds the ability to have both powered (AVR-5805 amplified) music and surround sound speaker systems, according to each individual home theater's setup circumstances. 7) Highest Quality Input & Output Terminals The AVR-5805 audio and video input terminals are gold-plated, as are the ten speaker terminal pairs, which accept bare wire as well as banana plugs. 6. High Resolution Video Section 1) Component Video Switching In addition to composite and S-video switching, the AVR-5805 provides no less than five sets of component video inputs via RCA-type coaxial connectors, as well as an additional sixth set of component video inputs via BNC connectors, as well as two sets of component video outputs (one for RCA-type coaxial, one for BNC connectors), with additional capability for component video output to Zone2. These component video circuits are fully HD-compatible, with a flat response to 100 MHz, far above the 38 MHz requirement for true HD reproduction, ensuring crisp and clear HDTV picture quality. 2) Video Up And Down Conversion Function To eliminate video signal incompatibility, the AVR-5805 is equipped with video up-conversion and down-conversion. Composite and S-video signals are internally up-converted to component video for the main zone, and down-converted for 480i component video signals. Zone2 features downconversion from S-video to composite video. 3) Progressive Scanning & Scaling Function Via high quality Faroudja DCDi™ (*1) processing, the AVR-5805 converts standard definition interlaced video to higher resolution progressive scanning format - 480i interlace to 480p progressive. For non-copy-protected video signals, further upconversion to HD 1080i video is also provided, for highest visual quality with compatible HD video displays. 4) High Resolution 12 bit/216 MHz Video D/A Conversion Featuring Analog Devices ADV-7310 Noise Shaped Video (*2) digital-to-analog converters, the AVR-5805 provides superior high resolution video output free from video noise and conversion artifacts. 5) Superior S-video Processing A 3-dimensional Y-C separation circuit provides artifact-free composite video to S-video up-conversion, and Time Base Correction for optimum color sharpness with composite video inputs (main zone). 7. Latest Digital A/V Input/Output Capability With Future Upgrade Ability 1) HDMI/DVI Switching High Definition Multi-media Interface provides digital audio and video signal transfer between source components, the AVR5805, and compatible video displays with HDMI digital interface. Digital Visual Interface provides similar digital input/output capability for digital video signals. The AVR-5805 is equipped with three HDMI inputs and one DVI input, and one each HDMI and DVI outputs to compatible video displays. Each HDMI/DVI input feeds both HDMI and DVI outputs, for optimum compatibility with today's HDMI- and DVI-equipped video displays.
