Additional functions
Audyssey Dynamic Volume®
Audyssey Dynamic Volume® is technology that solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies.
DENON LINK 4th (Jitter-free playback)
DENON LINK 4th adds high-quality playback of HD audio in addition to the outstanding performance of DENON LINK 3rd, high quality audio signal transmission technology developed by DENON.
By connecting an AV amplifier and Blu-ray Disc player that both support DENON LINK 4th with a DENON LINK cable (supplied with the Blu-ray Disc player) and HDMI cable (sold separately), you can control the Blu-ray Disc player using the master clock signal sent from the AV amplifier.
As D/A conversion is performed by the AV amplifier master clock, there are no effects of clock jitter from the HDMI transfer, enabling jitter free playback.
Sound localization becomes clearer, producing the clear sense of space in the sound images that can only be achieved from HD audio.
Audyssey DSX™
By connecting front height speakers to this unit and playing back through Audyssey DSX™, you can experience a more powerful playback expression in the height audio range. By connecting front wide speakers, you can experience a more powerful playback expression in the wide audio range.
Dolby Pro Logic gz
Dolby Pro Logic gz introduces a new dimension to Home Entertainment through the addition of a pair of front height channels. Compatible with stereo, 5.1-channel and 7.1-channel content, Dolby Pro Logic gz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth and dimension to movies, concert video and video game playback while maintaining the full integrity of the source mix.
Dolby Pro Logic gz identifies and decodes spatial cues that occur naturally in all content, directing this information to the front height channels, complementing the performance of left and right surround sound speakers. Content that is encoded Explanation of terms with Dolby Pro Logic gz height channel information can be even more revealing, with perceptually discrete height channel information bringing an exciting new dimension to home entertainment.
Dolby Pro Logic gz, with front height channels is also an ideal alternative for households that cannot support the placement of back surround speakers of a typical 7.1-channel system but may have bookshelf space available to support the addition of height speakers.
HDMI (Ver. 1.4a with 3D)
This unit can output 3D video signals input from a Blu-ray Disc player to a TV that supports a 3D system.
DTS Neo:X
This technology enables the playback of 2-channel source audio or 7.1/5.1 multi-channel source audio through a maximum 9.1 channel speakers, achieving an even broader sound field.

When this unit is upgraded, 3D video can be played back.
This unit supports input and output of 3D (3 dimensional) video signals of HDMI 1.4a.
To play back 3D video, you need a TV and player that provide support for the HDMI 1.4a 3D function and a pair of 3D glasses.
NOTE
•When playing back 3D video, refer to the instructions provided in the manual of your playback device together with this manual.
•If you operate the menu while playing back 3D video content, the playback video is replaced by the menu screen. The playback video is not displayed behind the menu screen.
•This unit does not show the status display while playing back 3D video content.
•If 3D video with no 3D information is input, the menu screen and status display on this unit are displayed over the playback video.
•If 2D video is converted to 3D video on the television, the menu screen and status display on this unit are not displayed correctly. To view the menu screen and status display on this unit correctly, turn the television setting that converts 2D video to 3D video off.
•When computer resolution (e.g. VGA) video or 3D video contents are being played back, the status display cannot be displayed.
•When the menu is operated during playback of a computer resolution video (e.g. VGA) or 3D video contents, the playback video switches to the video in the menu screen.
•When a 3D compatible television and 3D incompatible television are connected at the same time, when you want to playback 3D video, switch the “Monitor Out” (vmpage 31) setting to the terminals that the 3D compatible television is connected to before playing the content on the player.

Auto Setup
When this unit is upgraded, the “Auto Setup” contents are returned to the default settings. When configuring the “Auto Setup” settings, refer to this version of the Owner's Manual instead of the “Original version”.
The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made automatically.This is called “Auto Setup”.
To perform measurement, place the setup microphone in multiple locations all around the listening area. For best results, we recommend you measure in six or more positions, as shown in the illustration (up to eight positions).
•When performing Auto Setup, Audyssey MultEQ® XT 32/Dynamic EQ®/Dynamic Volume® functions become active (vpage 41, 42).
•To set up the speakers manually, use “Manual Setup” – “Speaker Setup”(vpage 23 ~ 25) on the menu.
NOTE
•Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may be affected by these sounds.
•Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).
•Do not unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until Auto Setup is completed.
•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.
•Loud test sounds may be played during Auto Setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume.
•Operating the MASTER VOLUME knob or main remote control VOL +/– button during measurement cancels the measurement.
•Measurementcannotbeperformedwhenheadphonesareconnected. Before performing Auto Setup, disconnect the headphone plug.
About setup microphone placement
•Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we recommend you measure in six or more positions, as shown in the illustration (up to eight positions).
•Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH, measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

n About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position is the position where listeners would normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the listening environment. Before starting Auto Setup, place the setup microphone in the main listening position. MultEQ® XT 32 uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
Specifications Troubleshooting Information Zone-Multi Operations Other Setup Connections Started Getting
12
Before starting Auto Setup
1If using a subwoofer capable of the following adjustments, set up the subwoofer as shown below.
nWhen using a subwoofer with a direct mode
Set the direct mode to “On” and disable the volume adjustment and crossover frequency setting.
nWhen using a subwoofer without a direct mode
Make the following settings:
•Volume : “12 o’clock position”
•Crossover frequency : “Maximum/Highest Frequency”
•Low pass filter : “Off”
•Standby mode : “Off”
2 Set up the microphone
Mount the setup microphone on a tripod or stand and place it in the main listening position.
When placing the setup microphone, adjust the height of the sound receptor to the level of the listener’s ear.
When starting Auto Setup, always use the supplied setup microphone (DM-A409).
Correct measurements cannot be taken if the setup microphone from the prior upgrade (DM-A505Z) is used.
Sound receptor
Setup microphone
If you do not have a tripod or stand, set up the microphone on, for example, a seat without a back.
NOTE
•Do not hold the setup microphone in your hand during measurements.
•Avoid placing the setup microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound reflections may give inaccurate results.
3Connect the setup microphone to the SETUP MIC jack of this unit.
When placing the setup microphone, adjust the height of the sound receptor to the level of the listener’s ear.
When the setup microphone is connected, the setup screen is displayed.
