• When using just one surround back speaker, connect it to the left channel (SBL).
• When using Subwoofer 2 or 3, set GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Speaker Setup” – “Subwoofer Setup”
(vpage 28).
Connecting the Speaker Cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and –
(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the AVC-A1HD,
and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from
1
the tip of the speaker cable, then either
twist the core wire tightly or terminate
it.
Turn the speaker terminal
2
counterclockwise to loosen it.
Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to
3
the hilt into the speaker terminal.
Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to
4
tighten it.
NOTE
• Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. When using
surround A and B speakers simultaneously, use speakers with an
impedance of 8 to 16 Ω/ohms.
• Connect the speaker cables in such a way that they do not stick out
of the speaker terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if
the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each
other (v “Protection circuit”).
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is
connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.
Protection circuit
If speakers with an impedance lower than specified (for example
4 Ω/ohms speakers) are used for an extended period of time with
the volume turned up high, the temperature may rise, activating the
protection circuit.
When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is shut
off and the power indicator flashes red. If this happens, unplug
the power cord, then check the speaker cable and input cable
connections. If the set is extremely hot, wait for it to cool off and
improve ventilation around it. Once this is done, plug the power cord
back in and turn the set’s power back on.
If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no
problems in the ventilation around the set nor in the connections,
the set may be damaged. Turn the power off, then contact a DENON
service center.

Copyright protection system (HDCP)
In order to play the digital video and audio signals of a DVD- Video or
DVD-Audio disc using HDMI/DVI connections, both the connected
DVD player and monitor must be equipped for a copyright protection
system called “HDCP” (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
HDCP is a copy protection technology consisting of data encoding
and mutual identification of the devices.
The AVC-A1HD is HDCP-compatible. For details on the DVD player or
monitor you are using, refer to its operating instructions.
When connecting with an HDMI/DVI converter cable
(adapter)
• HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI
format.
When connecting to a monitor, etc., equipped with a DVI-D
connector, connection is possible using an HDMI/DVI converter
cable, but depending on the combination of components in some
cases the video signals will not be output.
• When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video
signals may not be output properly due to poor connections with
the connected cable, etc.
NOTE
• Use a CPPM-compatible DVD player to play DVD-Audio discs that are
copyright-protected by CPPM.
• The audio signals output from the HDMI connector (sampling
frequency, bit rate, etc.) may be restricted by the connected device.
• Video signals are not output properly when using devices that are
not HDCP-compatible.
• Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match
the monitor’s resolution. In this case, switch the DVD player’s
resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is compatible.
• If the GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “HDMI Setup” – “Audio” setting
(vpage 31) is set to “Amp”, the sound may be interrupted when the
monitor’s power is turned off.
• Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI
product) for connection to the HDMI connector. Normal playback
may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the
HDMI logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certified product).
• If the monitor or DVD player does not support Deep Color, Deep
Color signal transfer is not possible.
• If the monitor or DVD player does not support xvYCC, xvYCC signal
transfer is not possible.
• If the monitor does not support “Auto Lipsync Correction” function,
this function will not work.
• The AVC-A1HD is compatible with the HDMI’s CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) function. Please note the following.
• It may not work depending on the device it is connected to and its
setup.
• It does not operate with televisions or players that are not
compatible with HDMI’s CEC.
• When the AVC-A1HD and DVD player are connected using an HDMI
cable, also connect the AVC-A1HD and monitor using an HDMI
cable.
• If the connected monitor or DVD player only has a DVI-D connector,
use an HDMI/DVI converter cable. When using a DVI cable, no audio
signals are transmitted.
• Use a Deep Color compatible cable for connection to Deep Color
compatible devices.

Example q Example w
(
:Measuring positions)
• Audyssey MultEQ
®
XT automatically measures the acoustical
problems in the listening environment to create the best audio
experience for your home theater.
• It optimizes a large listening area where one or more listeners are
seated.
Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone
(DM-A505Z) successively at multiple positions throughout the
listening area as shown in Example q. For best results, it is
strongly recommended to measure 6 or more positions so that the
measurements have the proper spatial weighting.
Even if the listening environment is small as shown in Example w,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more effective correction.
Auto Setup
To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 28 ~ 30.
About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the most central position where
one would normally sit within the listening environment.
MultEQ XT uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value
for the subwoofer.
Preparations
When using a subwoofer, make the following settings before starting
the auto setup procedure:
• Defeat the volume and crossover controls if possible
• If this is not possible then set
•
Volume: “12 o’clock” position
•
Crossover frequency: “Maximum/Highest Frequency”
•
Low pass fi lter: “Off”
•
Standby mode: “Off”
NOTE
• Do not disconnect the setup microphone until the auto setup
procedure is completed.
• When using headphones, unplug the headphones before starting
the auto setup procedure.
1
Connect the included calibrated setup microphone to
the SETUP MIC jack on the main unit.
The “Auto Setup” screen appears automatically.
2
Place the microphone at ear height on a tripod or stand
with the microphone pointing directly up towards the
ceiling.
b It is not recommended to hold it in your hand. Be sure that the
path from microphone to the speakers is not blocked by objects.
Avoid placing the microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound
refl ections may give inaccurate results.

Start
Start Auto Setup.
The Audyssey MultEQ XT Auto Setup process automatically calculates
the size, level, distance, bass management crossover frequency, and
optimal settings for each speaker and subwoofer. Audyssey MultEQ
XT corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.
Before starting, connect and position all your speakers.
Once started, MultEQ XT will play a series of test tones through each
speaker.
If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error
Messages” (vpage 27), take the advised action, then start the
measurements again.
Setting the correct speaker confi guration can reduce the time required
to measure during the auto setup procedure as the system will not
have to look for speakers that are not connected.
STEP1 : Speaker Detection
Amp Assign
Advanced setting : changes power amplifi er assignment.
NOTE
The items selectable at “Confi guration” differ according to the “Amp
Assign” settings.
The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the fi rst
measurement position. The following attributes are also determined
at this time: “Speaker Size”, “Speaker Distance”, “Channel Level”,
“Crossover Frequency”.
Once the measurements are completed, the results are displayed.
NOTE
• Loud test tone may be played during Audyssey MultEQ XT Automatic
Speaker Setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background
noise in room, these test tones will increase in volume.
• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow
obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This
will cause inaccurate readings.
• Quiet the listening environment before beginning measurements and
refrain from talking. Turn off air conditioning units or other devices
that emit noise if at all possible as measurements may be affected
by these sounds.
• Operating the MASTER VOLUME knob on the main unit or the VOL
+/–
buttons on the remote control unit during the measurements will
cancel the measurements.
• Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after
“STEP1”.
STEP2: Measurement
STEP3: Calculation
After completing a measurement position, move the microphone to
the next position.
Measure at least 6 positions (main listening position and at least 5 other
surrounding positions). For best results it is recommend measuring 6
or more positions (with a maximum of 8 positions).
NOTE
Do not turn the power off while the settings are being stored.
When “Calculate” is selected at “STEP2”, the measurements taken
are analyzed automatically to determine how the speaker system
interacts with the room.
The time required for this analysis depends on the number of speakers
connected. The higher the number of speakers, the longer the time
required for analysis.
STEP4: Check
Once the auto setup procedure is complete, a measuring result check
screen appears.
Select any item whose results you want to check to review the
results.
Values that are different from the actual distance may be set for
speakers with built-in fi lters (subwoofers, etc.). This is because fi lters
add electrical delay to the signal that should be compensated.
STEP5: Store
The auto setup measurement results are stored in the AVC-A1HD.
Subwoofer
The confi guration of the measuring subwoofer can be selected
beforehand.
