BEFORE USING

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

• Moving the set

To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in the connection cords, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the connection cords between all other audio components when moving the set.

• Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are proper and that there are not problems with the connection cords. Always set the power switch to the standby position before connecting and disconnecting connection cords.

• Store this instructions in a safe place.

After reading, store this instructions along with the warranty in a safe place.

• Note that the illustrations in this instructions

may differ from the actual set for explanation purposes.

• V. AUX terminal

The AVR-2805’s front panel is equipped with a V. AUX terminal. Remove the cap covering the terminal when you want to use it.

Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this unit or any other electronic equipment using microprocessors is used near a tuner or TV. If this happens, take the following steps:

• Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV.

• Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit’s power cord and input/output connection cords.

• Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor antennas or 300 Ω/ohms feeder wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas

and 75 Ω/ohms coaxial cables.

For heat dispersal, leave at least 10 cm of space between the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other components.

10 cm or more

Wall

10 cm or more

CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

• 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, HEADPHONE jack and

SPEAKER terminals

The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack 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 unit is in the STANDBY state, the

apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage. Please be sure to turn the power off (

£off)

when you leave home for, say, a vacation.

NOTE:

Down-converting from the component video signal to the SVideo and composite video signal is not possible, so when not using the component video monitor output terminal connect the player using the S-Video or composite video input terminal.

Cautions on the video conversion function:

When the component video terminals are used to connect the AVR-2805 with a TV (or monitor, projector, etc.) and the video (yellow) or S video terminals are used to connect the AVR-2805 with a VTR, depending on the combination of the TV and VTR the picture may flicker in the horizontal direction, be distorted, be out of sync or not display at all when playing video tapes. If this happens, connect a commercially available video stabilizer, etc., with a TBC (time base corrector) function between the AVR-2805 and the VTR, or if your VTR has a TBC function, turn it on.

MONITOR OUT jacks

The AVR-2805 is equipped with a function for up-converting video signals. Because of this, the AVR-2805’s MONITOR OUT jack can be connected to the monitor (TV) with a set of cables offering a higher quality connection, regardless of how the player and the AVR-2805’s video input jacks are connected. Generally speaking, connections using the component video jacks offer the highest quality playback, followed by connections using the S-Video jacks, then connections using the regular video jacks (yellow).

Extension jacks for future use.

SURROUND BACK/ZONE2 SPEAKER SYSTEMS

NOTE:

• The settings must be changed to use this speaker for ZONE2. (See page 25.)

Speaker Impedance

• Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16

Ω/ohms can be connected for use as front, center, surround and surround back speakers.

• Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the same time, since use of speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω/ohms will lead to damage.

• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance are connected.

NOTE: NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shocks.

Connecting the speaker terminals

1. Loosen by turning counterclockwise.

2. Insert the cord. 3. Tighten by turning clockwise.

Speaker system connections

• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like polarities are matched (

≈ with

≈, √ with √ ). Mismatching of polarities will result

in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments, and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired.

• When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other speaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel.

Either tightly twist or terminate the core wires.

Protector circuit

• This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit. The purpose of this circuit is to protect the speakers under circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently shortcircuited and a large current flows, when the temperature surrounding the unit becomes unusually high, or when the unit is used at high output over a long period which results in an extreme temperature rise. When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off and the power supply indicator LED flashes. Should this occur, please follow these steps: be sure to switch off the power of this unit, check whether there are any faults with the wiring of the speaker cables or input cables, and wait for the unit to cool down if it is very hot. Improve the ventilation condition around the unit and switch the power back on. If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the unit, switch off the power and contact a DENON service center.

Note on speaker impedance

• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance (for example speakers with an impedance of lower than 4 Ω/ohms) are connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn off the set’s power, wait for the set to cool down, improve the ventilation around the set, then turn the power back on.

Set the distance between the center speaker and listening position. The distance changes in units of 0.03 meters (0.1 foot) each time the button is pressed. Select the value closest to the measured distance.

Example: When the distance is

set to 3.6 m for the center speaker

If “Ye s ” is selected for “Default”, the settings are automatically reset to the default values.

Please note that the difference of distance for every speaker should be 6.0 m (20 ft) or less. If you set an invalid distance, a CAUTION notice, such as screen right will appear. In this case, please relocate the blinking speaker(s) so that its distance is no larger than the value shown in highlighted line.

Enter the setting. The Speaker Setup Menu reappears. The AVR-2805 automatically sets the optimum surround delay time for the listening room.

NOTE:

• If the distance unit is changed after the delay time is set, the settings are reset to the factory default values (see page 11).

• Input the distance between the listening position and each speakers to set the delay time for the surround playback.
