Superb Stereo Sound and Multi-room
Entertainment Convenience ::
Featuring a multi-room audio function, along with video selection and high
power, the DRA-685 serves as the
heart of a stereo music system while providing stereo sound for stereo
video sources. With a prodigious 100 watts
of power per channel, the DRA-685 can easily drive virtually any
modern loudspeaker system with authority and
clarity. A full suite of convenience and switching functions makes
the DRA-685 an indispensable choice for a well equipped music system.
Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC) ::
The circuit handling low-level and high-level signals have been divided
into separate blocks to ensure that influences from these signals
on each other are held to an absolute minimum. This new chassis design
in the DRA-685 is called the Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC).
Signals for output are cleaner than before, allowing them to be reproduced
with even greater fidelity and clarity.
High-Quality Power Amplifier Section ::
100 W + 100 W (8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.05 %) Providing 100 watts
per channel, into 8 ohms, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with no more than
.05% total harmonic distortion, the DRA-685 provides separates
class audio performance. Together, these components provide superb
low impedance drive capability with tremendous dynamic reserve capacity.
High speed, wideband discrete power transistors provide delicacy and
impact, ideally suited to the needs of the highest quality analog
and digital sources.
Multi Source Function ::
The DRA-685’s Multi Source function lets you enjoy two different
programs in two different rooms. For example, listen to the CD player
in the main room, while another family member listens to the tuner
in another room in the home. Dedicated multi-room output jacks,
with variable volume level adjustment via remote control, are for
connection to powered second zone speakers or a second zone amplifier.
Room-to-Room Remote Control ::
External remote control equipment, including IR re-transmitters and
IR remote receivers, such as Denon’s RC-616, 617S, 617W, and 618
devices, can be connected to the IR remote input and output terminals.
- Integral
System (IS) Remote Controller (RC-872)
The DRA-685 is provided with a pre-learned remote control, that
contains codes for other Denon components, along with codes for
other products from other manufacturers, such as DVD, VCR, TV, etc.
- Second Zone Remote Controller (RC-873)
In addition to the main remote, the DRA-685 is also supplied
with another remote that is customized for the second zone mutli-room
functions. It is equipped with second zone source selection, recalling preset
radio stations, adjusting the volume, and other functions that can be controlled
from the second zone room.
Easy Simulcast Copy ::
This feature not only permits reception and recording of FM/TV simulcast
programs onto videotape, but it can also be used to combine, for
example, the sound from a CD with the picture from a video disc.
- Record Out Selector
Let’s say you listen to one source (example: Tuner), while recording
another source (example: CD). Ideal for making unattended tape
copies.
Video Terminals ::
Stereo video sources,
such as hi-fi VCR, stereo TV, and DVD can all be easily connected to the
DRA-685’s VDP, VCR and Video Aux terminals.
Video Select Function ::
Allows you
to select a video source, and then select an alternate audio input source,
ideal for simulcasting, as well as watching TV sports programs while listening
to radio commmentary.
40-Station AM/FM Random Preset Memory Tuning ::
Auto Preset Memory ::
FM stations
can be searched by the tuner, and automatically stored in the preset memory
up to 40 stations, ideal for locales with many FM stations.
Sophisticated Tuning Circuit Design ::
- Thanks to the PLL circuit design, reception drift is a
thing of the past. The DRA-685 also has a 4-pole varactor diode
in its front end to guarantee accurate input of station frequencies.
- Auto
scanning of radio frequency bands
- Fast up/down manual tuning
- Manual step tuning
- Last-channel-tuned memory
Other Useful Features ::
- Loudness Function
- Pre-Output and Main-Input Jacks
- Bass and Treble Tone Controls
- Tone Defeat
- Muting Function via remote controller
- Motor-driven Volume Control
- A/B Speaker Switching
- Last Function Memory
- Switched AC Outlets
