Features
Denon Professional's Latest Surround Technology Faithfully Recreates the Surround Sound Produced at the Dubbing Stage. Finest DSP employed for faster processing better sound quality AVR-985SP features latest generation 32bit floating point DSP to decode all current surround formats, 96kHz signals to process room equalization. This DSP's processing power allows even the analogue input signals in all surround modes to be handled at 96kHz, which undoubtedly assures never-before-experienced high quality.
Various Decoding
DTS 96/24 Decoding for DVD-Video/ DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and Matrix 6.1
DTS NEO:6/ Dolby Digital EX/ Dolby ProLogic IIx
Fully Discrete, Equal Power Seven Amplifier Channels, 100 Watts Each
Front 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)
Center 100 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)
Surround 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)
Surround Back 100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, 0.05% THD)
The AVR-985SP features an equal power 7-channel amplifier section, with
identical amplifier design and high current discrete output devices on all
7 channels. Each of the 7 amplifier channels is rated at 100 watts, into
8 ohms, from 20 Hz - 20 kHz with no more than 0.05% THD.
Component Video Conversion
Up Conversion
This video conversion technology lets you enjoy the highest picture quality from all video sources connected to the AVR-985SP. Since composite and S-video signals are converted up to component video signals and output to the monitor, this allows you to connect all your video sources to a monitor using only one set of cables.
Down Conversion from S-Video to Composite
Three Sets of Component Video Inputs
The AVR-985SP is equipped with three sets of assignable, component
video inputs and one set of monitor outputs with on screen display.
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.
RS-232C Control Port to support AMX, Crestron or 3rd party
integrated control systems
+12 V Trigger Output x 2 (Assignable)
Auto Setup and Auto Room EQ Function with Microphone
The AVR-985SP is equipped with an Auto Setup and Room Equalization function, to achieve the most ideal sound field for your room. With the accompanying microphone placed at your listening position, the powerful new 32bit floating point DSP automatically and accurately analyzes, adjusts and sets the speaker configurations of your system. Also, the AVR-985SP analyzes and adjusts the frequency response of the speakers to the room with an 8 band parametric
equalizer. The microphone (DM-S305) is a especially designed, high performance unit with a heavy duty base to suppress vibrations for accurate analyzing.
Room EQ Memory
The AVR-985SP provides for a maximum of 4 equalizing curves called normal, front, flat and manual to be stored into memory. Normal, front and flat are automatically memorized during the 'Auto Room EQ' Setup, allowing you easy selection of your favorite EQ curve without having to run 'Auto Setup' again.
Assignable Room EQ
The AVR-985SP permits assigning of an EQ curve for each surround mode as well as selecting the EQ to be 'On' or 'Off' for the Direct/Pure Direct modes.
Support for Multi Zone Configurations
ZONE 2 Audio Capability
The AVR-985SP provides a Multi Zone Output function and a Select function that let you output different sources to multiple zones. Sources can be selected for output to an additional zone, in addition to the main room. Multi-room Zone 2 can have variable pre-amp output along with composite video feed.
ZONE 2 Composite Video Output Capability
Powered ZONE 2
The AVR-985SPs Power Amplifier Assign function lets you assign the two Surround Back (SB L/R) amplifier channels when the system is not configured
for 7.1, to instead drive the Multi-room Zone 2 speakers, with 100 Watts per channel output power, while still providing 5 discrete amplifier channels to drive all speakers in a 5.1 configured home theater room.
