NEW MODEL I N F O R M AT I O N AM/FM Stereo Receiver DRA-685 Superb Stereo Sound and Multi-room Entertainment Convenience Featuring a multi-room audio function, along with video selection and high power, the DRA-685 serves as the heart of a stereo music system while providing stereo sound for stereo video sources. With a prodigious 100 watts of power per channel, the DRA-685 can easily drive virtually any modern loudspeaker system with authority and clarity. A full suite of convenience and switching functions makes the DRA-685 an indispensable choice for a well equipped music system. s Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC) The circuit handling low-level and high-level signals have been divided into separate blocks to ensure that influences from these signals on each other are held to an absolute minimum. This new chassis design in the DRA-685 is called the Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC). Signals for output are cleaner than before, allowing them to be reproduced with even greater fidelity and clarity. s High-Quality Power Amplifier Section 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.05 %) Providing 100 watts per channel, into 8 ohms, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with no more than .05% total harmonic distortion, the DRA-685 provides separates class audio performance. Together, these components provide superb low impedance drive capability with tremendous dynamic reserve capacity. High speed, wideband discrete power transistors provide delicacy and impact, ideally suited to the needs of the highest quality analog and digital sources. s Multi Source Function The DRA-685's Multi Source function lets you enjoy two different pro- grams in two different rooms. For example, listen to the CD player in the main room, while another family member listens to the tuner in another room in the home. Dedicated multi-room output jacks, with variable volume level adjustment via remote control, are for connection to powered second zone speakers or a second zone amplifier. s Room-to-Room Remote Control External remote control equipment, including IR re-transmitters and IR remote receivers, such as Denon's RC-616, 617S, 617W, and 618 devices, can be connected to the IR remote input and output terminals. • Integral System (IS) Remote Controller (RC-872) The DRA-685 is provided with a pre-learned remote control, that con- tains codes for other Denon components, along with codes for other products from other manufacturers, such as DVD, VCR, TV, etc. • Second Zone Remote Controller (RC-873) In addition to the main remote, the DRA-685 is also supplied with another remote that is customized for the second zone mutli-room functions. It is equipped with second zone source selection, recalling preset radio stations, adjusting the volume, and other functions that can be controlled from the second zone room.
