If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of

the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate
properly.

If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power

turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature
before using the unit.

• Cautions on using mobile phones

Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move

the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

• Moving the unit

Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power

outlet.

Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before

moving the unit.

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-1508, and be sure to
interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.

Peel off about 10 mm of

1

sheathing from 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

3

core wire to the hilt into the
speaker terminal.

Turn the speaker terminal

4

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 12 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.

ENGLISH

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.

Connecting Equipment with HDMI connectors

With HDMI connections, the video and audio signals can be transferred with a single cable.

MonitorDVD player

Connections

NOTE

• The audio signal input to the HDMI input connector cannot be played on the AVR-1508. Input the audio
signal to the digital audio input connector or analog audio input connector.

• The AVR-1508 cannot be controlled from another device via the HDMI cable.

• 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.

• 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.

• The audio and video signals input to the AVR-1508’s HDMI input connector are output unchanged from
the HDMI output connector. Because of this, the sound is output from the monitor connected using the
HDMI connectors, but in order to take full advantage of the AVR-1508’s playback sound, turn the TV’s
volume down.

• 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.

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.

b The AVR-1508 is equipped for HDMI version 1.3a. This version is compatible with other versions, allowing

connection to all components equipped with an HDMI connector.

b The AVR-1508 is compatible with 30- and 36-bit Deep Color.
b The AVR-1508 can be connected to a device equipped with an HDMI output terminal using an HDMI

cable.

b The AVR-1508 is compatible with HDMI Ver. 1.3a Deep Color and xvYCC.

(DM-A405) 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.

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 uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value
for the subwoofer.

To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 21 ~ 23.

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
reflections may give inaccurate results.

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.

Step 1: Speaker Detection

Step 2: Measurement

Start

Press o to start the MultEQ Auto Setup.
The Audyssey MultEQ Auto Setup process automatically calculates
the size, level, distance, bass management crossover frequency, and
optimal settings for each speaker and subwoofer. Audyssey MultEQ
corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.
Before starting, connect and position all your speakers.
Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through each
speaker.

If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error
Messages”, take the advised action, then start the measurements
again (vpage 20).

Step 1 : Speaker Detection

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, “Sp Detect Check” is
displayed.
Press ENTER to check the results of the speaker detection.

NOTE

• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey MultEQ Automatic
Speaker Setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background
noise in room, these test signals 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 MASTER VOLUME during the measurements will cancel
the measurements.

• Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after
“Step 1”.

Step 2 : Measurement

Measure at 6 positions: the main listening position and 5 other
surrounding positions. Although it is allowable to measure less than 6
positions, it is recommended to measure 6 for best results.

Step 3 : Calculation

When “Calculate” is selected at “Step 2”, the measurements taken are analyzed automatically
to determine how the speaker system interacts with the room.
“Calculate” is displayed when you have completed measurements in 6 positions. To complete
Step 2 in 5 or less positions, press i to select “Calculate”.

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.

NOTE

Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume, or speaker locations after making
measurements. These types of changes will invalidate the EQ solution provided. If changes
are necessary, make the changes and use the Audyssey MultEQ Auto Setup once again for an
updated EQ solution.

Step 4 : Check

Once the calculation is completed, a measuring result check (“Parameter Check”) is displayed.
Press o to check the result.
Press ui to select the item, then press o.

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.

Step 5 : Store

The auto setup measurement results are stored in the AVR-1508 or cancelled.
After checking, press ENTER to select “Store”, then press ui to select “Store” or “Cancel”.

Store : Press o to store this calibration permanently to memory.
Cancel : Press o to cancel this calibration and clear all Auto Setup data measured.

NOTE

Do not turn the power off while the settings are being stored.

s Error Messages

If the auto setup procedure could not be completed due to speaker installation, the measuring environment,
etc. an error message is displayed. Check the relevant items and be sure to take the necessary measures. After
addressing any issues, perform the auto setup procedure over again.

About the RESTORER function

• Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media
Audio) and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating
signal components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The
RESTORER function generates the signals eliminated upon
compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those of the
original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of
volume of the bass to obtain richer sound with compressed audio

signals.

• This is displayed on the “Surround Parameter” and can be set
when the analog signals (including AM/FM signals) or PCM signals
(fs = 44.1/48 kHz) are input.

About Speaker Installation

Surround back speakers

Number of surround back speakers

We recommend using 2 speakers.
When using dipolar speakers in particular, be sure to use 2 speakers.

Placement of the surround left and right channels
when using surround back speakers

We recommend installing the speakers for the surround “L” and “R”
channels a bit forward.

w Setting for primarily watching movies using diffusion type

speakers for the surround speakers

For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse
radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide
a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating
speaker (monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the
prime listening position, mounted above ear level.

Path of the surround sound from the
speakers to the listening position

Sound positioning directly to the rear can be achieved easily by adding
a surround back speaker to a 5.1-channel system.
In addition, the acoustic image extending between the sides and the
rear is narrowed, thus greatly improving the expression of the surround
signals for sounds moving from the sides to the back and from the
front to the point directly behind the listening position.

Surround

The AVR-1508 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that
lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the
same sense of presence as in a movie theater.

Dolby Surround

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital signal format developed by Dolby
Laboratories.
A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels (“FL” , “FR” and
“C”), 2 surround channels (“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for
low frequencies.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic
sound field with a “three-dimensional” feeling (sense of distance,
movement and positioning) is achieved.
A real, overpowering sense of presence is achieved when playing
movie sources in AV rooms as well.

Dolby Pro Logic g

Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories.
Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5-channels to
achieve an excellent surround effect.
The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band
signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater)
to create a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich sense of
presence for all stereo sources.

Dolby Pro Logic gx

Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic
g matrix decoding technology.

Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural
sound with up to 7.1-channels.
There are 3 modes: “Music” suited for playing music, “Cinema”
suited for playing movies, and “Game” which is optimized for playing
games.

b Sources recorded in Dolby Surround

Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the following
logo marks.
Dolby Surround support mark :

DTS-ES™ Matrix 6.1

DTS-ES™ Matrix 6.1 is a 6.1-channel discrete digital audio format
inserting a surround back (SB) channel to the DTS digital surround
sound through matrix encoding. Decoding of conventional 5.1-channel
audio signals is also possible according to the decoder.

DTS NEO:6™ Surround

DTS NEO:6™ is a matrix decoding technology for achieving 6.1­channel surround playback with 2-channel sources. It includes “DTS
NEO:6 CINEMA” suited for playing movies and “DTS NEO:6 MUSIC”

Deep Color

Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and
subtle gradations between colors.
Enables increased contrast ratio.
Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and
white.
At 30-bit pixel depth, a four times improvement would be the minimum,
and the typical improvement would be eight times or more.
