Acclaimed Customization Feature

As with all of DENON’s high-grade A/V receiver, the AVR-785 lets you adjust delay
times and other parameters so that you can customize the performance of the AVR-785
to suit your own home theater and enhance operating ease.  These customized features
are then stored, for each source input and surround mode, in Personal Memory Plus so
constant readjustments are not required.

Multi-Function Preset Memory Remote Controller with GLO-Keys

The supplied system remote controller features a large selection of remote control
codes to operate other components in your home theater system, including codes for
selected DENON models, along with remote control codes from other manufacturers.
The most frequently used buttons are laid out separately for TV, VCR and DVD, for
maximum ease-of-use.

* Remote control codes may not be available for some products of other manufacturers

5 Channel/7 Channel Stereo Mode

DENON's popular 7 Channel Stereo mode transforms your favorite 2-channel
sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio and stereo video sources into exciting surround
sound, free of delay effects and unnatural artifacts, from all 7 speakers. This 7 Channel
Stereo mode was originally developed by DENON to enhance music lovers' enjoyment
with home theater ambience.

Adjustable Cross-Over Switching

The AVR-785 supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 8 cross-over
frequencies: 40/60/80/100/120/150/200/250 Hz. This lets you more accurately match the
performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the main speaker system.

Support for Multi-Zone Configurations

The AVR-785 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 Zone Power Amplifier Assign

The AVR-785’s Power Amplifier Assign function lets you assign the Surround Back
amplifier channels when the system is not configured for 7.1 to instead drive the
Multi-room Zone 2 speakers, with 115 Watts per channel output power, while still pro-
viding 5 discrete amplifier channels to drive all speakers in a 5.1 configured home
theater room.
