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 repro-
duced 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 pro-
grams 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 sec-
ond 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 con-
tains 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.
