•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.

	2	CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION
	Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated
	if this unit or any other electronic equipment using		10 cm or more
	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		10 cm or more
	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		Wall
	between the top, back and sides of this unit and
	the wall or other components.

3CAUTIONS 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, 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.

Down-converting from the component video signal to the S- Video 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.

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.

NOTES:

• The on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack during playback of a video component. For example, if the TV monitor is connected to both the AVR-2805’s S-Video and video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-2805 from a video source (VDP, etc.) connected to both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S- Video monitor output. If you wish to output the signals to the video monitor output jack, do not connect a cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 28.)

• The AVR-2805’s on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may be difficult to read small characters on TVs with small screens or low resolutions.

• The setup menu is not displayed when headphone are being used.

About the error message

These error screens will be displayed when performing the measurements of Auto Setup / Room EQ and the automatic measurements can not be completed because of the speaker arrangement, measurement environment, or other factors. Please check the following matters, reset the pertinent items, and measure again. When there is too much noise in the room, the speakers may not be detected properly. Should this happen, perform the measurements when the noise level is low, or switch off the power of the equipment that is producing the noise for the duration of the measurements.

qThis screen will be displayed when the speakers required for producing suitable reproduction have not been detected.

•The front L and front R speakers were not properly detected.

•Only one channel of the surround speakers was detected.

•Sound was output from the R channel when only one surround back speaker was connected.

•The surround back was detected, but the

If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the speakers) to determine the proper setting.

•Parameters

Large.................	Select this when using speakers that have sufficient performance for reproducing bass
	sound below the frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode.
Small .................	Select this when using speakers that do not have sufficient performance for reproducing
	bass sound below the frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode. When this is set,
	bass sound with a frequency below the frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode is
	sent to the subwoofer.
None…… ..........	Select this when no speakers are installed.
Yes/No… ...........	Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when a subwoofer is not installed.
