[] CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION
//////////////////////////////////////////////s
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 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 _/ohms feeder wires We recommend using
outdoor antennas and 75 _2/ohms coaxial cables.
For heat dispersal, leave at least 0.3 ft (10 cm) of space between
thetop, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other
components.
[] CAUTIONS 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 _s connected to the input jacks If this happens,
either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect
components to the input jacks
N 03ff(10cm}o more
o2S[9.:: I
"//////////////////////////////////////////////,

wall
• Whenever the power operation switch is in the STANDBY
state, the apparatus is still connected on some AC line
voltages.
Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for,
say, a vacation.
• Muting of PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER
terminals
The PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER termhqals
include a muting circuit Because of this, the output signals are
greatly reduced for several seconds after the power operation
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.
r-4-] FEATURES
1. Dolby Pro Logic 11decoder
Dolby Pro Logic ][ is a new format for playing multichannel audio
signals that offers improvements over convengonal 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.
2. Dolby Digital decoder
Dolby Digital, a digital discrete system in which the different
channels are completely independent, recreates "three-
dimensional" sound fields (sounds with a sense of distance,
movement and position) with no crosstalk between channels for
greater reality In addition, the 5 channels (excluding the 01
channel for low frequency effects) have a playback range
extending to 20 kHz, the same as the range of CDs, thus resulting
in clearer, more bchly expressive sound.
3. DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
DTS provides up to 51 channels of wide-range, high fidelity
surround sound, from sources such as laser disc, DVD and
specially-encoded music discs.
4. High performance DSP simulates 7 sound fields
Playback is possible in 7 surround modes: 5-channel Stereo, Mono
Movie, Rock Arena, Jazz Club, Video Game, Matrix and Virtual.
You can enjoy a variety of sound effects for different movie
scenes and program sources even with stereo sources not m
Dolby Surround.
5. Personal Memory Plus function
Personal Memory Plus _s an advanced version of Personal
Memory. With Personal Memory Plus, the set automatically
memorizes the surround mode, channel volume, surround
parameters, etc, for each of the separate input sources
6,
Remote control unit with pro-memory function
This unit comes with a remote control unit equipped with a pre
memory funcbon The remote control command codes for
DENON remote controllable AV components as well as for LD
players, video decks, TVs, etc., of other major manufacturers are
prestored in the memory

• Precautions when connecting speakers
If a speaker is placed near a TV or video monitoE, the
colors on the screen may be disturbed by the
speaker's magnetism¸ If this should happen, move
the speaker away to a position where it does not
have this effect¸

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 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.
* 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 £)/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.

UNIT
Point the remote control unit at the remote control sensor as shown
on the diagram at the left.
NOTES:
• The remote control unit can be used from a straight distance of
approximately 23 feet/7 meters, but this distance will shorten or
operation will become difficult if there are obstacles between the
remote control unit and the remote control sensor, if the remote
control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or other strong light, or
if operated from an angle.
• Neon signs or other devices emitting pulse4ype noise nearby may
result in malfunction, so keep the set as far away from such
devices as possible.
(2) Insert the R6P/AA batteries properly, as
shown on the diagram.
(3) Close the lid.
NOTES:
• Use only R6P/AA batteries for replacement.
• Be sure the polarities are correct (See the illustration inside the battery compartment)
• Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not be used for an extended period of time.
• If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing, etc. Clean the
battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries
• Have replacement batteries on hand so that the old batteries can be replaced as quickly as possible when the time comes.
• Even if less than a year has passed, replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not operate even when the remote control unit is
operated nearby the set. (The included battery is only for vedfying operation. Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible)

NOTES:
-- 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.
-- 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 pages 17, 18)
If "SMALL" is set for the front speakers or "NO" is set for the subwoofer, the subwoofer mode setting does not affect playback of low
frequency signal range.
• When the "+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
• When the "NORM" playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are only produced from those
channels. In this playback mode there tends to be little interference of the low frequency range in the room.
• Try playing the music or movie source and select the playback mode providing the stronger low frequency range sound
