1292 Playback using the DENON LINK connectorDigital transfer and multi-channel playback of DVD audio discs and other multi-channel sources is possible by connecting the AVR-5805 to aDenon DVD player equipped with a DENON Link connector using the connection cable included with the DVD player.With discs on which special copyright protection measures have been taken, however, the digital signals may not be output from the DVDplayer. In this case, connect the DVD player’s analog multi-channel output to the AVR-5805’s EXT. IN-1 or EXT. IN-2 terminals for playback.Also refer to your DVD player’s operating instructions.Playing audio sources (CDs and DVDs)The AVR-5805 is equipped with three 2-channel playback modes exclusively for music.Select the mode to suit your tastes.1 PURE DIRECT modeIn this mode, the music is played with an extremely high levelof sound quality.When this mode is set, all the video-related circuits are turnedoff so that music signals can be reproduced with high quality.When an analog mode is selected, the digital processingcircuitry is also turned off to achieve analog sound with evenhigher purity. (See NOTES page 129)2 DIRECT modeUse this mode to achieve good quality 2-channel sound whilewatching images. In this mode, the audio signals bypass suchcircuits as the tone circuit and are transmitted directly,resulting in good quality sound.3 STEREO modeUse this mode to adjust the tone and achieve the desiredsound while watching images.The mode switches as shown below each time theDIRECT/STEREO button on the Main unit is pressed.1 2,34121~33(Main unit) (Remote control unit) (Remote control unit)(Main unit) (Remote control unit) (Remote control unit)STEREODIRECT(Main unit) (Remote control unit) (Remote control unit)4 VIDEO ON/OFF buttonWhen no video signals of a DVD, etc., are connected to theAVR-5805 and the DVD, etc., are connected directly to a TV,etc., the unneeded video circuitry can be turned off byselecting the “VIDEO OFF” setting.(Main unit)NOTES:• The system setup function cannot be used when the PUREDIRECT mode is set. To use the system setup function, cancelthe PURE DIRECT mode.• The Zone2 and Zone3 video outputs are not outputted in theVIDEO OFF mode.• If the HDMI input terminal is selected, video outputs areoutputted in the PURE DIRECT mode.• The channel level and surround parameters in the PURE DIRECTmode are the same as in the DIRECT mode.
