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. NOTE: NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shocks. Speaker Impedance Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 /ohms can be connected for use as front and center speakers. Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 /ohms can be connected for use as surround 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 /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.

(3) Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic steering technology and offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits. Dolby Pro Logic II can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround ( ) but also regular stereo sources into five channels (front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve surround sound. Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited, Dolby Pro Logic II offers a wider band range (20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater). In addition, the surround channels were monaural (the surround left and right channels were the same) with previous Dolby Pro Logic, but Dolby Pro Logic II they are played as stereo signals. Various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so it is possible to achieve optimum decoding (see page 71).
Sources recorded in Dolby Surround These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals using Dolby Surround encoding technology. Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and Video cassettes to be played on stereo VCRs, as well as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV. Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic II makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback. The signals can also be played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide normal stereo sound. There are two types of DVD Dolby surround recording signals. q 2-channel PCM stereo signals w 2-channel Dolby Digital signals When either of these signals is input to the AVR-2805/985, the surround mode is automatically set to Dolby Pro Logic II when the DOLBY/DTS SURROUND mode is selected.
Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the logo mark shown below. Dolby Surround support mark:

DTS Digital Surround

Digital Theater Surround (also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems. DTS offers the same 5.1 playback channels as Dolby Digital (front left, front right and center, surround left and surround right) as well as the stereo 2-channel mode. The signals for the different channels are fully independent, eliminating the risk of deterioration of sound quality due to interference between signals, crosstalk, etc. DTS features a relatively higher bit rate as compared to Dolby Digital (1234 kbps for CDs and LDs, 1536 kbps for DVDs) so it operates with a relatively low compression rate. Because of this the amount of data is great, and when DTS playback is used in movie theaters, a separate CDROM synchronized with the film is played. With LDs and DVDs, there is of course no need for an extra disc; the pictures and sound can be recorded simultaneously on the same disc, so the discs can be handled in the same way as discs with other formats. There are also music CDs recorded in DTS. These CDs include 5.1-channel surround signals (compared to two channels on current CDs). They do not include picture data, but they offer surround playback on CD players that are equipped with digital outputs (PCM type digital output required). DTS surround track playback offers the same intricate, grand sound as in a movie theater, right in your own listening room.

2 DTS compatible media and playback methods
Marks indicating DTS compatibility:
Media CD LD (VDP) DVD Dolby Digital output jacks Optical or coaxial digital output (same as for PCM) 2 Optical or coaxial digital output (same as for PCM) 2 Optical or coaxial digital output (same as for PCM) 3 Playback method (reference page) Set the input mode to AUTO or DTS (page 59). Never set the mode to ANALOG or PCM. 1 Set the input mode to AUTO or DTS (page 59). Never set the mode to ANALOG or PCM. 1 Set the input mode to AUTO or DTS (page 59).
1 DTS signals are recorded in the same way on CDs and LDs as PCM signals. Because of this, the un-decoded DTS signals are output as random hissy noise from the CD or LD players analog outputs. If this noise is played with the amplifier set at a very high volume, it may possibly cause damage to the speakers. To avoid this, be sure to switch the input mode to AUTO or DTS before playing CDs or LDs recorded in DTS. Also, never switch the input mode to ANALOG or PCM during playback. The same holds true when playing CDs or LDs on a DVD player or LD/DVD compatible player. For DVDs, the DTS signals are recorded in a special way so this problem does not occur. 2 The signals provided at the digital outputs of a CD or LD player may undergo some sort of internal signal processing (output level adjustment, sampling frequency conversion, etc.). In this case the DTS-encoded signals may be processed erroneously, in which case they cannot be decoded by the AVR-2805/985, or may only produce noise. Before playing DTS signals for the first time, turn down the master volume to a low level, start playing the DTS disc, then check whether the DTS indicator on the AVR-2805/985 (see page 60) lights before turning up the master volume. 3 A DVD player with DTS-compatible digital output is required to play DTS DVDs. A DTS Digital Output logo is featured on the front panel of compatible DVD players. Recent DENON DVD player models feature DTS-compatible digital output consult the players owners manual for information on configuring the digital output for DTS playback of DTS-encoded DVDs.
