triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of important operating
and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions should be read
before the product is operated.
2. Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the product and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning – Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water – for example,
near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement;
or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
product. Any mounting of the product should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
9. A product and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation
and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
11. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type
of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12. Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the product.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size
of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure A.
16. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm,
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
17. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
18. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
19. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the product.
20. Ser vicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
21. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this
indicates a need for service.
22. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer
or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
23. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the
product is in proper operating condition.
24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be mounted to a wall or
ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
25. Heat – The product should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.

b About Dynamic Volume
Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ solves the problem of large variations
in volume level between television programs, commercials, and
between the soft and loud passages of movies.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that
as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived
bass response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog
clarity remain the same.
b About Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound
quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human
perception and room acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in
tandem with Audyssey MultEQ
®
XT to provide well-balanced sound
for every listener at any volume level.

NOTE
For surround back speakers :
• Since “Amp Assign” of AVR-989 is set to “ZONE2” by default, audio is not output from the surround
back speakers. When using the surround back speakers with MAIN ZONE, change the “Amp Assign”
setting to “7.1ch” (vpage 32).
• When using just one surround back speaker, connect it to the left channel (SBL).
For ZONE2 speakers :
• When outputting audio from the surround back speakers with ZONE2, set to “ZONE2” with “Manual
Setup” – “Option Setup” – “Amp Assign” from the menu. For multi-zone connection and operation, see
“Amp Assign / Multi-zone Connections and Operations” (vpage 65, 66).
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 AVR-989, and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
1
Peel off about 0.03 ft/10 mm of sheathing from the tip of the speaker
cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.
2
Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.
3
Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the hilt into the speaker
terminal.
4
Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.
NOTE
• Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. When using front 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 the core wires touch the rear panel and the screws etc., or the ± sides touch each other, the protec-
tion circuit will be activated and the power indicator will flash red at intervals of 0.5 secs.
If the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is isolated, and the power supply goes to the
standby state. If the power supply is turned off, after the power supply cord is withdrawn, please con-
firm that speaker cable and input cable are connected.
Also, if replaying large sound levels by using a speaker having an impedance less than that specified (eg,
4 Ω/ohms), the temperature will rise, and the protection circuit might be activated. The power supply
will go into the standby state, and the power indicator will flash red at 2 second intervals.
In this case, please switch off the power supply, and wait until the AVR-989 has cooled down, and the
surrounding ventilation is good.
Even if there are no problems with the surrounding ventilation and connections, in the event of the pro-
tection circuit becoming activated, due to thinking that the AVR-989 has failed, please contact DENON
Service center after switching off.

b The AVR-989 is compatible with 30- and 36-bit Deep
Color.
Copyright protection system (HDCP)
In order to play the digital video and audio signals of a Blu-ray, DVD-Video or DVD-Audio disc using HDMI/
DVI connections, both the connected Blu-ray Disc player / 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 AVR-989 is HDCP-compatible. For details on the Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player or monitor you are
using, refer to its operating instructions.
• When the AVR-989 and Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player are connected using an HDMI cable, also connect
the AVR-989 and monitor using an HDMI cable.
• If the connected monitor or Blu-ray Disc player / 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.
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.
• By default, the HDMI audio signals are output from the
speakers connected to the AVR-989.
• To output the sound from the TV, make the settings
at menu “Manual Setup” – “HDMI Setup” – “HDMI
Audio Out” – “TV” (vpage 30).
NOTE
• 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 Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player’s resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is
compatible.
• If the menu “Manual Setup” – “HDMI Setup” – “HDMI Audio Out” setting (vpage 30) 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 Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player does not support Deep Color, deep color signal transfer
is not possible.
• If the monitor or Blu-ray Disc player / 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 AVR-989 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.

Preparations
• Audyssey MultEQ
®
XT automatically measures the acoustical
problems in the listening environment to create the best audio
experience for your home theater.
• Audyssey MultEQ XT optimizes a large listening area where one or
more listeners are seated.
Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone
(DM-A409) successively at multiple positions throughout the
listening area as shown in Example q. For best results, it is strongly
recommended to measure 6 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.
To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 27 ~ 29.
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.

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 Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements.
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.
