(*1) Note on Movie mode:
On DENON A/V receivers, this Movie mode is displayed as "MODE CINEMA".
Features That Enhance Operating Ease Auto Surround
The AVR-985SP can automatically store the surround mode for any of
three inputs signals: (1)Analog and PCM 2 channel, (2)Bit stream 2-
channel (DolbyDigital, DTS) and (3)Bit stream multi-channel. If the
type of input signal changes, the most appropriate surround mode is
automatically selected for the signal.
New Front Panel Design with Larger Display
Larger display area capable of displaying a broad range of information
including character icons for an intuitive recognition of input signal
channels and output speaker channels.
Audio Delay Function
The Audio Delay Function corrects slight lags between sound and
picture that can occur when a video signal is processed, such as in a
Progressive Scan DVD player or outboard video processor.
Adjustable Cross-Over Switching
The AVR-985SP supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice
of 8 cross-over frequencies: 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 200 and 250 Hz.
This lets you more accurately match the performance characteristics
of the subwoofer to the main speaker system.

Designed for high sound quality
Pure Direct and AL24 Processing
Denon Professional's Pure Direct mode was designed for those who want
the ultimate in sonic quality from their audio sources. Depending on
input signal type, Pure Direct will turn off any unneeded circuitry of
the AVR-985SP. When listening to PCM based sources, Denon
Professional's waveform technology AL24 Processing brings out all the
delicate nuances of the source material.
Hefty Power Transformer for Stable Supply of Power
A huge power transformer has been connected in the power section
where it is combined with a rectifier diode and an oversized block
capacitor to ensure a large, stable supply of electrical current.
Accordingly, this design allows the AVR-985SP to achieve high output
power of 100 W for each of the 7 channels.
Variable Gain Volume
S/N in the usable area has been improved. Finer adjustments are also
possible in 0.5 dB steps across the extended range of –80 dB to +18 dB.
Block Capacitor
A large-capacity block capacitor was developed for the AVR-985SP to
ensure a rock stable supply of power.
