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-1610,
and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from the tip
1
of the speaker cable, then either twist the core
wire tightly or terminate it.
Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise
2
to loosen it.
Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the hilt

into the speaker terminal.
Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten
4
it.
n When using a banana plug
Tighten the speaker terminal firmly before
inserting the banana plug.
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.
NOTE
• 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.
Connecting the Speakers
Protection circuit
If the core wires touch the rear panel and the screws etc., or the ±
sides touch each other, the protection circuit will be activated and the
power indicator will flash red at intervals of 0.5 secs.
If the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is isolated, and
the power supply goes to the standby state. If the power supply is
turned off, after the power supply cord is withdrawn, please confirm
that speaker cable and input cable are connected.
Also, if replaying large sound levels by using a speaker having an
impedance less than that specified (eg, 4 Ω/ohms), the temperature
will rise, and the protection circuit might be activated. The power
supply will go into the standby state, and the power indicator will flash
red at 2 second intervals.
In this case, please switch off the power supply, and wait until the
AVR-1610 has cooled down, and the surrounding ventilation is good.
Even if there are no problems with the surrounding ventilation
and connections, in the event of the protection circuit becoming
activated,
due to thinking that the AVR-1610 has failed, please contact DENON
Service center after switching off.

Making the Optimum Settings for the Connected Speakers Automatically (Audyssey Auto Setup)
The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made automatically.
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.
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt
the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones,
televisions, radios, air conditioners, fl uorescent lights, home
appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may
be affected by these sounds.
Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during
the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in
use).
Audyssey MultEQ® automatically measures the acoustical
problems in the listening environment to create the best audio
experience for your home theater.
• When the Audyssey Auto Setup procedure is performed, the
MultEQ, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume functions (vpage 41)
are enabled.
• Use the included setup microphone (DM-A409) to perform the
Audyssey Auto Setup procedure.
• Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone
successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as
shown in GExample qH. 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 GExample wH,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more effective correction.

Important Information
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

Reference Level Offset : Audyssey Dynamic EQ takes the standard film
mixing level of 85 dB SPL during –20 dB FS input as its reference level.
However, since standardization is lacking outside the film industry, the
reference level of media contents may not be appropriate. In order to
view such contents, Reference Level Offset of Dynamic EQ has available
offsets of 5 dB, 10 dB and 15 dB.
0dB : Suitable for viewing movies.

Other Information
Surround
The AVR-1610 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.
Information
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal format that is
compatible with up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound and also
improves sound quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance. It
is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby Digital, so it offers
greater flexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions
of the playback equipment.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories, using lossless coding technology to faithfully reproduce
the sound of the studio master.
This format is compatible with a maximum sampling frequency of 96
kHz and up to 7.1-channels, so it is used for applications particularly
prioritizing sound quality.
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.
4
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.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is a 6.1-channel surround format proposed by Dolby
Laboratories that allows users to enjoy in their homes the “DOLBY
DIGITAL SURROUND EX” audio format jointly developed by Dolby
Laboratories and Lucas Films.
The 6.1 channels of sound, including surround back channels, provide
improved sound positioning and expression of space.
Dolby Pro Logic gz
Dolby Pro Logic gz introduces a new dimension to Home Entertainment
through the addition of a pair of front height channels. Compatible with
stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 content, Dolby Pro Logic gz provides enhanced
spaciousness, depth and dimension to movies, concert video and
videogame playback while maintaining the full integrity of the source
mix.
Dolby Pro Logic gz identifies and decodes spatial cues that occur
naturally in all content, directing this information to the front height
channels, complementing the performance of left and right surround
sound speakers. Content that is encoded with Dolby Pro Logic
gz height channel information can be even more revealing, with
perceptually discrete height channel information bringing an exciting
