1 BEFORE USING

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

•Moving the set

To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in the connection cords, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the connection cords between all other audio components when moving the set.

•Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are proper and that there are not problems with the connection cords. Always set the power switch to the standby position before connecting and disconnecting connection cords.

ENGLISH

•Store this instructions in a safe place.

After reading, store this instructions along with the warranty in a safe place.

•Note that the illustrations in this instructions may differ from the actual set for explanation purposes.

2	CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION
Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated
if this unit or any other electronic equipment using		10 cm or more
microprocessors is used near a tuner or TV.
If this happens, take the following steps:		B
• 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 10 cm of space between the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other components.

10 cm or more

wall

3CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

•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 jacks, HEADPHONE jacks and SPEAKER terminals

The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jacks and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced for several seconds after the power 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 switch is in the £ OFF state, the apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage.

Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation.

4FEATURES

1.Digital Surround Sound Decoding

Featuring 32 bit high speed DSP, operating entirely in digital domain, surround sound from digital sources such as DVD, LD, DTV and satellite are faithfully re-created.

2.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.

3.Dolby Digital

Using advanced digital processing algorithms, Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of widerange, high fidelity surround sound. Dolby Digital is the default digital audio delivery system for North American DVD and DTV.

4.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.

5.DTS-ES Extended Surround and DTS Neo:6

The AVR-3802 is compatible with DTS-ES Extended Surround, a new multi-channel format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc.

The AVR-3802 is also compatible with DTS Neo:6, a surround mode allowing 6.1-channel playback of regular stereo sources.

6.Wide screen mode for a 7.1-channel sound even with

5.1-channel sources

DENON has developed a wide screen mode with a new design which recreates the effects of the multi surround speakers in movie theaters. The result is 7.1-channel sound taking full advantage of surround back speakers, even with Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital/DTS 5.1-channel signals.

7.24 bit D/A Conversion

All six channels, including the five main channels and the low frequency effects (LFE) channel benefit from reference, for optimum high fidelity reproduction of music and movie soundtracks.

8.Dual Surround Speaker Mode

Provides for the first time the ability to optimize surround sound reproduction using two different types of surround sound speakers as well as two different surround speaker positions:

4

(1)Movie Surround

Motion picture soundtracks use the surround channel(s) to provide the ambient elements of the acoustic environment they want the audience to realize. This is best accomplished by the use of specially-designed surround speakers that offer a wide diffusion pattern (bipolar dispersion) or by using surround speakers that provide broad dispersion with a minimum of on-axis localization (dipolar dispersion). Side wall mounting (closer to the ceiling) of the surround speakers provides the greatest envelopment, minimizing localization of direct sound from the speakers.

(2)Music Surround

With full range discrete surround channels, as well as three discrete full range front channels, digital formats such as Dolby and DTS offer thrilling surround sound music listening. Producers of multi-channel discrete digital music recordings almost always favor the use of direct radiating (monopolar) surround speakers, placed in the rear corners of the room, since that is how they configure their studios during the mixing/creation process.

The DENON AVR-3802 provides the ability to connect two different sets of surround speakers, and place them in the appropriate locations in your AV theater room, so that you can enjoy both movie soundtracks and music listening, with optimum results and no compromise.

9.Component Video Switching

In addition to composite video and “S” video switching, the AVR-3802 provides 2 sets of component video (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR) inputs for the DVD and TV/DBS inputs, and one set of component video outputs to the television, for superior picture quality.

10.Video Select Function

Allow you to watch one source (visual) while listening to another source (audio).

11.Future Sound Format Upgrade Capability via Eight Channel Inputs & Outputs

For future multi-channel audio format(s), the AVR3802 is provided with 7.1 channel (seven main channels, plus one low frequency effects channel) inputs, along with a full set of 7.1 channel pre-amp outputs, controlled by the 8 channel master volume control. This assures future upgrade possibilities for any future multi-channel sound format.

5 CONNECTIONS

•Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections have been completed.

•Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right).

•Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections will result in the generation of noise.

•Use the AC OUTLET for audio equipment only. Do not use them for hair driers, etc.

•Note that binding pin plug cords together with AC cords or placing them near a power transformer will result in generating hum or other noise.

Connecting the external input (EXT. IN) jacks

•These jacks are for inputting multi-channel audio signals from an outboard decoder, or a component with a different type of multi-channel decoder, such as a DVD Audio player, or a multi-channel SACD player, or other future multi-channel sound format decoder.

•When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.

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

• Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 Ω /ohms can be connected for use as front and center speakers.

•Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω /ohms can be connected for use as surround and surround back speakers.

•Be careful when using two pairs of surround

speakers (A + B) at the same time, since use of speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω /ohms

will lead to damage.

	NOTE:	• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is
		played for long periods of time at high volumes
	NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the
		when speakers with an impedance lower than the
	power is on.
		specified impedance are connected.

For instructions on operations using the MULTI ZONE jacks, see pages 25, 26.

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 shortcircuited 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.

NOTES:

•The on-screen display signals are not output from the color difference (component) video signal (MONITOR OUT) jacks.

•The on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack during playback of a video component. For example, if the TV monitor is connected to both the AVR-3802’s S-Video and video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-3802 from a video source (VDP, etc.) connected to both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S- Video monitor output. If you wish to output the signals to the video monitor output jack, do not connect a cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 16.)

•The AVR-3802’s on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may be difficult to read small characters on TVs with small screens or low resolutions.

•The setup menu is not displayed when “HEADPHONE ONLY” is selected.

•Speaker system layout

Basic system layout

•The following is an example of the basic layout for a system consisting of eight speaker systems and a television monitor:

Subwoofer

Center speaker system

Surround back speaker systems

Front speaker systems

Set these at the sides of the TV or

screen with their front surfaces as flush Surround speaker systems with the front of the screen as possible.

With the AVR-3802 it is also possible to use the surround speaker selector function to choose the best layout for a variety of sources and surround modes.

•Surround speaker selector function

This function makes it possible to achieve the optimum sound fields for different sources by switching between two systems of surround speakers (A and B).

NOTE:

•Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the actual size of the speaker but according to the speaker’s capacity for playing low frequency (bass sound below frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode and below) signals. If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the speakers) to determine the proper setting.

•Parameters

Large.................Select this when using speakers that have sufficient performance for reproducing bass

	sound below the frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode.
Small .................	Select this when using speakers that do not have sufficient performance for reproducing
	bass sound below the frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode. When this is set,
	bass sound with a frequency below the frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode
	is sent to the subwoofer.
	When this setting is selected, low frequencies of below the frequency set for the Crossover
	Frequency mode are assigned to the subwoofer.
None…… ..........	Select this when no speakers are installed.
Yes/No… ...........	Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when a subwoofer is not installed.
2spkrs/1spkr .....	Set the number of speakers to be used for the surround back channel.

If the subwoofer has sufficient low frequency playback capacity, good sound can be achieved even when “Small” is set for the front, center and surround speakers.

For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the Small setting for all five main speakers and Subwoofer On with a connected subwoofer will yield the best results.

NOTES:

— Assignment of low frequency signal range —

•The only 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 menu. The low frequency signal range of channels set to “Large” are produced from those channels.

— Crossover Frequency —

•When “Subwoofer” is set to “Yes” at the “Speaker Configuration Setting”, set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of the various speakers is to be output from the subwoofer (the crossover frequency).

•For speakers set to “Small”, sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and the cut bass sound is output from the subwoofer instead.

NOTE: For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the crossover frequency to 80 Hz. When using small speakers, however, setting the crossover frequency to a high frequency may improve frequency response for frequencies near the crossover frequency.

— 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 page 10).

•When the “LFE+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.

•Selection of the “LFE ” play mode will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected with “Large” from that channel only. Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are played from the subwoofer channel are only the low frequency signal range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal playback) and the channel specified as “Small” in the setup menu.

•Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with body.

•When the subwoofer is set to “Yes”, bass sound is output from the subwoofer regardless of the subwoofer mode setting in surround modes other than Dolby/DTS.
