Before using
Pay attention to the following before using this
unit:
•Moving the unit
To prevent short-circuits or damaged wires in
the connection cables, always unplug the power
supply cord and disconnect the connection
cables between all other audio components
when moving the unit.
•Before turning the power switch on
Check once again that all connections are
correct and that there are not problems with
the connection cables. Always set the power
switch to the standby position before
connecting and disconnecting connection
cables.
• Store these instructions in a safe place.
After reading, store this instructions along with
the warranty card in a safe place.
• Note that the illustrations in these
instructions may differ from the actual unit
for explanation purposes.
•V. AUX terminals
The AVR-1306’s front panel is equipped with
V. AUX terminals. Remove the cap covering
the terminals when you want to use them.
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 away as possible
from the tuner or TV.
• Run the antenna wires from the tuner or
TV away from this unit’s power supply cord
and input/output connection cables.
• Noise or disturbance tends to occur
particularly when using indoor antennas or
300 Ω/ohm feeder wires. We recommend
using outdoor antennas and 75 Ω/ohm
coaxial cables.
Wall
Note
Cautions on handling
• Switching the input source when input terminals are not connected.
A clicking noise may be produced if the input source is switched when nothing is connected to
the input terminals. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control knob or
connect components to the input terminals.
• Muting of PRE OUT terminals, PHONES jack and SPEAKER terminals.
The PRE OUT terminals, PHONES jack and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because
of this, the output signals are greatly attenuated for several seconds after the power switch is
turned on or the input source, 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 STANDBY state, the unit is still connected to AC line
voltage.
Please be sure to turn off the power switch or unplug the cord when you leave home for,
say, a vacation.
Preparing the remote control unit
The included remote control unit (RC-1014) can be used to operate not only the AVR-1306 but other
remote control compatible DENON components as well. In addition, the memory contains control
signals for other remote control units, so it can be used to operate non-DENON remote control
compatible products.
Note:
For heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a confined space such as a bookcase or similar
enclosure.
A NOTE ABOUT RECYCLING:
This product’s packaging materials are recyclable and can be reused. Please
dispose of any materials in accordance with the local recycling regulations.
When discarding the unit, comply with local rules or regulations.
Batteries should never be thrown away or incinerated but disposed of in
accordance with the local regulations concerning chemical waste.
This product and the accessories packed together constitute the applicable
product according to the WEEE directive except batteries.

Speaker system layout
2 Basic system layout
The following is an example of the basic layout for a system consisting of six speaker systems and
a television monitor:
Subwoofer Center speaker system
Surround speaker systems
Front speaker systems
Set these at the sides of the TV
or screen with their front surfaces
as flush with the front of the
screen as possible.

Easy OperationEasy Operation
Speaker 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 stereo image being impaired.
• When making connections, take care that
none of the individual conductors of the speaker
cable come in contact with adjacent terminals,
with other speaker cable conductors, or with
the rear panel.
2 Speaker impedance
• When speaker systems A and B are used
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
speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16
Ω/ohms in this case must be used.
• 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
unit is operated for long periods of time at
high volumes when speakers with an
impedance lower than the specified
impedance are connected.
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 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
unit is operated 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 less than 4 Ω/ohms) are
connected. If the protector circuit is
activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn
off the unit’s power, wait for the unit to cool
down, improve the ventilation around the
unit, then turn the power back on.
NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals
when the power is on. Doing so could
result in electric shocks.
Connecting the speaker cables
1. Loosen by turning
counterclockwise.
2. Insert the cable.
3. Tighten by turning
clockwise.

Yes / No:
Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when a
subwoofer is not installed.
Small:
Select this when using speakers that do not have sufficient
ability to reproduce 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.
None:
Select this when no speakers are installed.
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.
• 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 the frequency set for the
Crossover Frequency) signals. If you are unsure, 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.

2 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.
2 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.
(•When “Subwoofer” is set to “No”, the bass sound is output
from the speakers set as “Large”.)
2 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
“Setting the Speaker Configuration” ( page 11, 12).
• When the “LFE+MAIN” playback mode is selected, the low
frequency signal range of channels set to “Large” is produced
simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer
channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expands 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 is
played from the subwoofer channel is only the low frequency
signal range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal
playback) and the channels specified as “Small” in the setup
menu.
• Select the play mode that offers the fullest bass.
• 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.
• In surround modes other than Dolby Digital and DTS, if the
subwoofer is set to “Yes”, the low frequency portion is always
output to the subwoofer channel. For details, refer to
“Surround modes and parameters” ( page 40).

channel level mode, the channel level adjustments made will
affect all surround modes. Consider this mode a master
channel level adjustment mode.
• After you have completed the system setup channel level
adjustments, you can then activate the individual surround
modes and adjust channel levels that will be remembered for
each of those modes. Then, whenever you activate a particular
surround sound mode, your preferred channel level
adjustments for just that mode will be recalled. Check the
instructions for adjusting channel levels within each surround
mode ( page 27).
2 Adjusting the test tone
• Before playing with the surround function, be sure to use the
test tones to adjust the playback level from the different
speakers. This adjustment can be performed with the system
setup or from the remote control unit, as described below.
• Adjusting with the remote control unit using the test tones is

2 Surround parameters w
DTS NEO:6 Mode:
• Cinema:
This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is
performed with emphasis on separation performance to
achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with
6.1-channel sources.
This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in
conventional surround formats as well, because the in-phase
component is assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and the
reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SB
channels).
• Music:
This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front channel
(FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly
so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the
surround signals output from the center (C) and surround (SL,
SR and SB) channels add a natural sense of expansion to the
sound field.
CENTER IMAGE (0.0 to 1.0: default 0.3):
The center image parameter for adjusting the expansion of the
center channel in the DTS NEO:6 MUSIC mode has been
added.

2 Surround parameters e
CINEMA EQ. (Cinema Equalizer):
The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the
extreme high frequencies, compensating for overly-bright
sounding motion picture soundtracks. Select this function if the
sound from the front speakers is too bright.
This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic II , Dolby Digital,
DTS Surround and DTS NEO:6 modes. (The same contents are
set for all operating modes.)
D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):
Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range
(the contrast between very soft and very loud sounds). For
listening late at night, or whenever the maximum sound level is
lower than usual, the Dynamic Range Compression allows you
to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack (but with reduced
dynamic range). (This only works when playing program
sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS). Select one of the
four parameters (“OFF”, “LOW”, “MID” (middle) or “HIGH”).
Set to “OFF” for normal listening.
TONE:
This enables tone control. This can be set individually for the
separate surround modes other than DIRECT mode.
LFE (Low Frequency Effect):
This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) sounds
included in the source when playing program sources recorded
in Dolby Digital or DTS.
If the sound produced from the subwoofer sounds distorted
due to the LFE signals when playing Dolby Digital or DTS
sources when the peak limiter is turned off with the subwoofer
peak limit level setting, adjust the level as necessary.
Program source and adjustment range:
1. Dolby Digital: –10 dB to 0 dB
2. DTS Surround: –10 dB to 0 dB
When DTS encoded movie software is played, it is
recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for
correct DTS playback.
When DTS encoded music software is played, it is
recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to –10 dB for
correct DTS playback.
2 Dialogue normalization
The dialog normalization function is activated automatically when
playing Dolby Digital program sources.
Dialog normalization is a basic function of Dolby Digital which
automatically normalizes the dialog level (standard level) of the
signals which are recorded at different levels for different
program sources, such as DVD, DTV and other future formats
that will use Dolby Digital.
These contents can be verified with the STATUS button.
OFFSET - 4dB
The number indicates the normalization level when the
currently playing program is normalized to the standard
level.
NIGHT
Night mode
When listening at night or at lower volumes, the night mode
improves listenability.
Press and hold the NIGHT button for several seconds
to enter the night mode.
• Canceling night mode:
Press and hold the NIGHT button again.

This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected
for the different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are automatically

The surround parameters, tone control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for
each surround mode.

Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.
In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes.
NOTE: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one channel (left or right),
so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.)
obtain a “Y” adapter cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.
The front left channel signals are output to the surround left channels, the front right channel signals are
output to the surround right channels, and the in-phase component of the left and right channels is output
to the center channel. Use this mode to enjoy stereo sound.
Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.
Use this mode to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected sounds coming from all
directions.
This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls. This mode gives jazz
a very vivid realism.
Use this to enjoy video game sources.
Select this to emphasize the sense of expansion for music sources recorded in stereo. Signals consisting
of the component difference of the input signals (the component that provides the sense of expansion)
processed for delay are output from the surround channel.
Select this mode to enjoy a virtual sound field, produced from the front 2-channel speakers or headphones.7
