The Denon DHT-485DV Home Theater Package just might be the ultimate DVD home theater system. It's certainly got the features, specs and that famous Denon quality to be a leading contender for the title.
Start out with 760W of audio power. Crank it up to full power (not recommended) and the people down the street will complain about the sound-even if you live on a farm. At more reasonable volume levels you can enjoy a wide variety of compact discs and DVD formats-the kind you buy and the ones you burn yourself. Of course the DHT-485DV can upscale your DVDs to near high definition quality. If you don't tell your friends that your new home theater is playing DVDs some of them will assume you're showing Blu-ray discs. The DHT-485DV has DTS and several Dolby variations plus a few of its own sound modes. The DHT-485DV features a Cinema Equalizer to correct these high-frequency components so that the sound is clearer and easier to listen to.
With such a rich set of features, the DHT-485DV DVD Home Theater Package is the unit to buy and you will be very happy with your purchase.
3 Sets of Component Video Inputs
The AVR-485, A/V Receiver, is equipped with 3 sets of component video inputs and 1 set of
monitor outputs
Power Transformer for High Power Driven
The chassis that supports the large transformer has been designed to absorb vibration, and the transformer is housed inside a highly rigid frame to secure it more solidly to the chassis. In addition, a cushioning material has been placed around the core of the transformer to minimize interference on the signal and enable more faithful reproduction of
the original sound. The AVR-485 inherits its low-noise design from higher-end models, like the highly acclaimed AVR-3805
Twin Drive Rectifier
Denon's Twin Drive Rectifier design uses two rectifying diodes in parallel to bring out the maximum potential of the large transformer. Since the rectifiers recharge the large block capacitors at low impedance, they are able to supply ample current to accurately reproduce deep basses as well as sudden bursts of sound from percussion or other musical instruments
Large Aluminum Extruded Heatsink
Denon uses large heatsink made of extruded aluminum. They have been placed in a design that ensures mostly uniform temperatures throughout the heatsink so that the output transistors for all channels can be driven under uniform conditions. This in turn ensures that all channels respond with equal performance to the demands of the audio signals
Fully Discrete, Equal Power 6 Amplifier Channels, 110W Each
For optimum Dolby Digital and DTS reproduction, the AVR-485 features high quality, wideband
audio amplification, providing 110W power output for each of the 6 main channels. A large capacity power supply which includes a high current power transformer along with discrete power output devices on all 6 amplifier channels for highest dynamic range and superb reproduction clarity
Wide-Range Play Capability for DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD
The power amp circuits of the AVR-485 have been meticulously designed to reproduce the
exceptionally high sound quality with a wide frequency response from 10 Hz to 100 kHz
Cinema Equalizer
The sound from movie sources recorded in Dolby Digital, DTS or other formats emphasizes higher frequencies due to a theater's front speakers being placed behind the movie screen. If this sound is reproduced in the home theater without correction, the high-frequency range is too strong. The AVR-485 features a Cinema Equalizer to correct these high-frequency components so that the sound is clearer and easier to listen to. (For Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, and DTS surround modes)
Personal Memory Plus, for Easy Operation
The AVR-485 includes the Personal Memory Plus function that automatically remembers the
surround mode you last used for each program source, so that you do not need to select the mode again for that program
Acclaimed Customization Feature
As with all of Denon's high-grade A/V receivers, the AVR-485 lets you adjust speaker configuration delay times and other parameters so that you can customize the performance of the AVR-485 to suit your own home theater and enhance operating ease. The adjustments are easy to make via a dialog format on the fluorescent display on the front panel. 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. Some remote control codes may not be available for some products of other manufacturers and some Denon products

6 Channel Stereo Mode
Denon's popular 6 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 6 speakers. This 6 Channel Stereo mode was originally developed by Denon to enhance music lovers' enjoyment with home theater ambience, but it now can be enjoyed with any source material
Virtual Surround Mode
Surround yourself with sensational 3D soundfield envelopment using just one pair of speakers. The AVR-485's Virtual Surround mode provides a dramatic psychoacoustic surround sound effect, using 2 speakers with Dolby Digital 5.1 encoded sources
DSP Surround Modes Add Listening Excitement
Put yourself in the middle of your favorite concert hall and music environments with Denon's
DSP acoustic environment simulation modes. These DSP modes add spacious surround sound
enhancements to your favorite music and video sources, and include these distinctly different
sounding effects:
1. 6-channel stereo
2. Virtual surround
3. Rock arena
4. Jazz club
5. Video game
6. Matrix
7. Mono movie
Adjustable Cross-Over Switching
The AVR-485 supports subwoofer cross-over switching with a choice of 8 cross-over frequencies: 40/60/80/100/120/150/200/250Hz. This lets you more accurately match the performance characteristics of the subwoofer to the main speaker system
