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.
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 0.1 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 richly expressive sound.
3.DTS (Digital Theater Systems) decoder
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.
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.
•Whenever the power operation switch is in the £ OFF or 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.
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 in Dolby Surround.
5.Personal Memory Plus function
Personal Memory Plus is 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 pre-memory function
This unit comes with a remote control unit equipped with a pre-memory function. 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.
7.EXT. IN jack
This unit is equipped with EXT. IN jacks for use with audio formats of the future.

ENGLISH
•Do not plug in the power 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 power cords or placing them near a power transformer will result in generating hum or other noise.
•Noise or humming may be generated if a connected audio equipment is used independently without turning the power of this unit on. If this happens, turn on the power of this unit.
•Analog recording of signals input to the AVR-1603 in digital format is not possible. To record in analog, also connect the analog signals of the player to the AVR-1603’s analog input terminals.
•The AVR-1603’s OPTICAL OUT terminal is an optical digital output terminal for connection of a CD recorder, MD recorder or other digital recording device. Use it for digital recording.

Connecting a video component equipped with S-Video jacks
•When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
•A note on the S input jacks
The input selectors for the S inputs and pin jack inputs work in conjunction with each other.
•Precaution when using S-jacks
This unit’s S-jacks (input and output) and video pin jacks (input and output) have independent circuit structures, so that video signals input from the S-jacks are only output from the S-jack outputs and video signals input from the pin jacks are only output from the pin jack outputs.
When connecting this unit with equipment that is equipped with S-jacks, keep the above point in mind and make connections
according to the equipment’s instruction manuals.

ENGLISH
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.
NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.
Doing so could result in electric shocks.
Speaker Impedance
•When speaker systems A and B are use 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 use of speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 Ω /ohms.
•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 set is played 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 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.

To achieve Dolby Digital (AC-3) playback effect, use a unit that can sufficiently reproduce frequencies of under 80 Hz.

SURROUND SPEAKER SYSTEMS
•Precautions when connecting speakers
If a speaker is placed near a TV or video monitor, 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.

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 verifying operation. Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.)

•Parameters
Large…… Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz.
Small…… Select this when using speakers that cannot reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz with sufficient volume. When this setting is selected, low frequencies of below 80 Hz are assigned to the subwoofer.
None…… Select this when no speakers are installed.
Yes/No…. Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when it’s not installed.
NOTE:
Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the physical size of the speaker, but according to the bass reproduction capacity at 80 Hz. If you cannot determine the best setting, try comparing the sound when set to “Small” and when set to “Large”, at a level that will not damage the speakers.
Caution:
In case the subwoofer is not used, be sure to set “Subwoofer = No”, or the bass sound of front channel is divided to subwoofer channel and not reproduced in some mode.

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 aet 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 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).
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.

In this mode, the types of signals being input to the digital and analog input jacks for the selected input source are detected and the program in the AVR1603’s surround decoder is selected automatically
2
upon playback. This mode can be selected for all input sources other than TUNER.
The presence or absence of digital signals is detected, the signals input to the digital input jacks are identified and decoding and playback are performed automatically in DTS, Dolby Digital or PCM (2 channel stereo) format. If no digital signal is being input, the analog input jacks are selected.
Use this mode to play Dolby Digital signals.
wPCM (exclusive PCM signal playback mode) Decoding and playback are only performed when
PCM signals are being input.
Note that noise may be generated when using this mode to play signals other than PCM signals.
eDTS (exclusive DTS signal playback mode) Decoding and playback are only performed when DTS signals are being input.
rANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback mode)
The signals input to the analog input jacks are decoded and played.
tEXT. IN (external decoder input jack selection mode) The signals being input to the external decoder input jacks are played without passing through the surround circuitry.
NOTE:
•Note that noise will be output when CDs or LDs recorded in DTS format are played in the “PCM” (exclusive PCM signal playback) or “ANALOG” (exclusive analog audio signal playback) mode. Select the AUTO or DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback) mode when playing signals recorded in DTS from a laser disc player.
Notes on playing a source encoded with DTS
•Noise may be generated at the beginning of playback and while searching during DTS playback in the AUTO mode. If so, play in the DTS mode.
•In some rare cases the noise may be generated when you preform the operation to stop playback of a DTS-CD or DTS-LD.
