Denon Avr-685 / 1705 75 Watt X 6 Ch. Receiver + 1 Year Warranty
[DEN9-AVR685]

This unit has been quality refurbished by DENON. DENON certifies it operates exactly as a BRAND NEW unit.  WE offer an exclusive 1 year warranty on these items, unlike others who only offer the standard 90 day warranty. The item comes in its manufacturer's packaging with all accessories and documentation Denon provides.

BE VERY CAREFUL OUT THERE... If you do not buy any Denon item from an Authorized Dealer, DENON WILL NOT honor the warranty and you will not receive any updates, upgrades or support. DENON'S technicians are among the best in the business... DO NOT give that up! If you buy from a dealer who is not authorized, you are taking a risk that the serial - may have been tampered with or removed.

Denon's AVR-685 provides 6 channels of high-quality, remarkably affordable amplification to drive all the primary speakers in a 6.1 surround sound system (front left/right speakers, rear left/right surrounds, and front/rear center speakers, along with a preamp output for the '.1' low-frequency effects channel, i.e. subwoofer). It''s perfectly compatible with 5.1 speaker configurations--just leave of the rear center speaker. The AVR-685 packs 75 watts per channel into 8 ohms from 20 to 20,000 Hz, or 110 wpc into 6 ohms at 1 kHz.

You'll never be at a loss for creative surround algorithms, irrespective of your listening source. The receiver's onboard 6.1-channel surround processing includes Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS 96/24 5.1 for DVD-Video, DTS ES Discrete 6/1, ES Matrix 6.1 and Neo: 6 Cinema and Music modes, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx (for cinema, music, and games). Dolby Pro Logic IIx processing is the first technology to offer a choice of processing traditional stereo music and movie content into room-filling 5.1 or 6.1 channels.

The AVR-685 owes its superlative sound quality to premium digital-audio technologies like SHARC 32-bit floating-point DSP from Analog Devices. For simplicity of video connectivity and switching, the AVR-685 includes video up-conversion for composite and/or S-video sources to high-bandwidth component-video with no compromise in video quality.

The receiver performs 24-bit, 96 kHz analog-to-digital conversion on all stereo analog inputs except the multichannel analog jacks, while Analog Devices 24 bit/192 kHz high-resolution DACs on all 7 channels ensures premium playback sound. Adjustable high- and low-pass crossovers (40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 200, and 250 Hz) let you tailor the sound to suit your speakers and your listening space.

The AVR-685 features 3 assignable sets of component-video inputs and 1 set of monitor inputs (all with 100 MHz bandwidth). You get 4 sets composite and 3 S-video inputs, a set of 5.1 external wide-bandwidth (100 kHz) inputs for multichannel formats such as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD, 3 assignable digital inputs (2 optical, 1 coaxial), and a total of 7 analog inputs (not including the unit''s built-in AM/FM tuner).

The receiver uses a digitally regulated volume control with .5 dB increment adjustments and a step range of -80 to +15. The AVR-685 is comparable to Denon model number AVR-1705.
