CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

4

FEATURES

• Switching the input function when input jacks are not

connected

A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched

when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens,

either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect

components to the input jacks.

• Muting of PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER

terminals

The PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals

include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are

greatly reduced for several seconds after the power operation

switch is turned on or input function, surround mode or any other

set-up is changed.

If the volume is turned up during this time, the output will be very

high after the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait until

the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume.

• Whenever the power operation switch is in the STANDBY

state, the apparatus is still connected on some AC line

voltages.

Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for,

say, a vacation.

1. Dolby Pro Logic II decoder

Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing multichannel audio

signals that offers improvements over conventional Dolby Pro

Logic. It can be used to decode not only sources recorded in

Dolby Surround but also regular stereo sources into five channels

(front left/right, center and surround left/right). In addition, various

parameters can be set according to the type of source and the

contents, so you can adjust the sound field with greater precision.

2. Dolby Digital decoder

Dolby Digital, a digital discrete system in which the different

channels are completely independent, recreates “three-

dimensional” sound fields (sounds with a sense of distance,

movement and position) with no crosstalk between channels for

greater reality. In addition, the 5 channels (excluding the 0.1

channel for low frequency effects) have a playback range

extending to 20 kHz, the same as the range of CDs, thus resulting

in clearer, more richly expressive sound.

3. DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity

surround sound, from sources such as laser disc, DVD and

specially-encoded music discs.

4. High performance DSP simulates 7 sound fields

Playback is possible in 7 surround modes: 5-channel Stereo, Mono

Movie, Rock Arena, Jazz Club, Video Game, Matrix and Virtual.

You can enjoy a variety of sound effects for different movie

scenes and program sources even with stereo sources not in

Dolby Surround.

5. Personal Memory Plus function

Personal Memory Plus is an advanced version of Personal

Memory. With Personal Memory Plus, the set automatically

memorizes the surround mode, channel volume, surround

parameters, etc., for each of the separate input sources.

6. Remote control unit with pre-memory function

This unit comes with a remote control unit equipped with a pre-

memory function. The remote control command codes for

DENON remote controllable AV components as well as for LD

players, video decks, TVs, etc., of other major manufacturers are

prestored in the memory.

7. 6CH EXT. IN jack

This unit is equipped with 6CH EXT. IN jacks for use with audio

formats of the future.

2

CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this unit or

any other electronic equipment using microprocessors is used near a

tuner or TV.

If this happens, take the following steps:

• Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV.

• Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit’s

power cord and input/output connection cords.

• Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor

antennas or 300 Ω/ohms feeder wires. We recommend using

outdoor antennas and 75 Ω/ohms coaxial cables.

For heat dispersal, leave at least 0.3 ft (10 cm) of space between

the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other

components.

• Make sure AM loop antenna lead terminals do not touch

metal parts of the panel.

ENGLISH

Speaker system connections

• 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.

Speaker Impedance

• When speaker systems A and B are use separately, speakers with an

impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for use as front speakers.

• Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the same time,

since use of speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 Ω/ohms.

• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for use

as center and surround speakers.

• 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.

NOTE:

• NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. Doing so

could result in electric shocks.

• Do not use soeaker cords with a diameter of over 1.5 mm. Doing so

may damage the speaker terminals. (for FRONT SPEAKER B,

SURROUND SPEAKER)

Connecting the speaker cords

1. Loosen by turning

counterclockwise.

2. Insert the cord. 3. Tighten by turning

clockwise.

Protector circuit

• This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit. The purpose of this circuit is to protect the speakers under

circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently short-circuited and a large current flows,

when the temperature surrounding the unit becomes unusually high, or when the unit is used at high output over a long

period which results in an extreme temperature rise.

When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off and the power supply indicator LED flashes. Should

this occur, please follow these steps: be sure to switch off the power of this unit, check whether there are any faults with

the wiring of the speaker cables or input cables, and wait for the unit to cool down if it is very hot. Improve the ventilation

condition around the unit and switch the power back on.

If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the

unit, switch off the power and contact a DENON service center.

Note on speaker impedance

• 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 (for example speakers with an impedance of lower than 4 Ω/ohms)

are connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn off the set’s power, wait for the set

to cool down, improve the ventilation around the set, then turn the power back on.

Inserting the batteries

B

Point the remote control unit at the remote control sensor as shown

on the diagram at the left.

NOTES:

• The remote control unit can be used from a straight distance of

approximately 23 feet/7 meters, but this distance will shorten or

operation will become difficult if there are obstacles between the

remote control unit and the remote control sensor, if the remote

control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or other strong light, or

if operated from an angle.

• Neon signs or other devices emitting pulse-type noise nearby may

result in malfunction, so keep the set as far away from such

devices as possible.

Approx. 23 feet/7 m

30°

w Insert the R6P/AA batteries properly, as

shown on the diagram.

q Press as shown by the arrow and slide

off.

e Close the lid.

NOTES:

• Use only R6P/AA batteries for replacement.

• Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.)

• Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not be used for an extended period of time.

• If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing, etc. Clean the

battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

• Have replacement batteries on hand so that the old batteries can be replaced as quickly as possible when the time comes.

• Even if less than a year has passed, replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not operate even when the remote control unit is

operated nearby the set. (The included battery is only for verifying operation. Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.)

selected, low frequencies of below 80 Hz are assigned to the subwoofer.

None…… Select this when no speakers are installed.

Yes/No…. Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when it’s not installed.

NOTE:

Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the physical size of the speaker, but according to the bass reproduction capacity at 80 Hz. If you cannot

determine the best setting, try comparing the sound when set to “Small” and when set to “Large”, at a level that will not damage the speakers.

Caution:

In case the subwoofer is not used, be sure to set “Subwoofer = No”, or the bass sound of front channel is divided to subwoofer channel and

not reproduced in some mode.

NORM +MAIN

(left) button (right) button

Press the SELECT or (down) button to enter the setting and switch to the SPEAKER DISTANCE

setting.

NOTES:

— Assignment of low frequency signal range —

• The signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS signals) and the low frequency

signal range of channels set to “SMALL” in the setup. The low frequency signal range of channels set to “LARGE” are produced from those

channels.

— Subwoofer mode —

• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when “LARGE” is set for the front speakers and “YES” is set for the subwoofer in the “Speaker

Configuration” settings (see pages 17, 18).

If “SMALL” is set for the front speakers or “NO” is set for the subwoofer, the subwoofer mode setting does not affect playback of low

frequency signal range.

• When the “+MAIN” playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to “LARGE” are produced simultaneously

from those channels and the subwoofer channel.

In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room,

interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range.

• When the “NORM” playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to “LARGE” are only produced from those

channels. In this playback mode there tends to be little interference of the low frequency range in the room.

• Try playing the music or movie source and select the playback mode providing the stronger low frequency range sound.
