1 BEFORE USING

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

l Moving the set

To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in the connection cords, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the connection cords between all other audio components when moving the set.

l Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are proper and that there are not problems with the connection cords. Always set the power switch to the standby position before connecting and disconnecting connection cords.

l Store this instructions in a safe place.

After reading, store this instructions along with the warranty in a safe place.

Setting the power amplifier assignment:

l Make this setting to switch the power amplifier for the surround back channel to zone2.

Disconnect the power plug and set the POWER AMP ASSIGN switch on the rear to the desired position

The plug in the AC main again.

l Note that the illustrations in this instructions may differ from

the actual set for explanation purposes.

panel is equipped with a V.

AUX jacks. Remove the cap

covering the jacks when you

want to use It.

2 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 thus happens, take the followrng steps:

l Install this unrt as far as possible ,from the tuner or TV. l Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit’s

power cord and input/output connection cords.

l Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor

antennas or 300 R/ohms feeder wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75 R/ohms coaxial cables.

For heat dispersal, leave at least 10 cm of space between the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other components.

3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

l Switching the input function when input jacks are not

connected A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components to the input jacks.

4 inch/l 0 cm or more

Whenever the power switch is in the STANDBY state, the apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage.

Please be sure to unplug the cord when You leave home for,

say, a vacation.

l Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER

terminals The PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals include a muting crrcuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced for several seconds after the power 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 functionrng. Always wait until the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume.

srgnals 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

3. Dolby Digital Using advanced digital processing algorithms, Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround

sound. Dolby Digital is the default drgital audro delivery system for

North American DVD and DTV.

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the buildrng, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Notes:

l Do not connect two FM antennas simultaneously. l Even if an external AM antenna is used, do not drsconnect the

AM loop antenna.

l Make sure AM loop antenna lead terminals do not touch metal

parts of the panel.

l These jacks are for inputting multi-channel audio signals from an outboard decoder, or a component with a different type of multi-channel

decoder, such as a DVD Audio player, or a multi-channel SACD player, or other future multi-channel sound format decoder.

l When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.

l Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that

like polarities are matched (0 with 0 , 0 with 0 ). 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.

l 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 wrth the rear

panel.

/ NOTE:

NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shocks.

Speaker Impedance

l When speaker systems A and B are use separately, speakers wrth

an impedance of 6 to 16 Q/ohms can be connected for use as surround back/ZONE2 speakers.

l Be careful when using two pairs of Surround Back/ZONE2

speakers (A + B) at the same time, since use of speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 Q/ohms.

* Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 R/ohms can be connected

for use as front, center and surround speakers.

l The protector circurt 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

l 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.

l 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 Q/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.

NOTES:

- Assignment of low frequency signal range -

l The signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digrtal or DTS srgnals) 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.

- Crossover Frequency -

l When “Subwoofer” IS set to “Yes” at the “Speaker Configuration Setting”,

various speakers is to be output from the subwoofer (the crossover frequency).

l For speakers set to “Small”,

subwoofer instead. NOTE: For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the crossover frequency to 80 Hz. When usrng small speakers, however,

settrng the crossover frequency to a high frequency may improve frequency response for frequencies near the crossover frequency.

- Subwoofer mode -

l The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when “LARGE” is set for the front speakers and “YES” is set for the subwoofer tn the “Speaker

Configuration” settings (see pages 20, 21).

If “SMALL” is set for the front speakers or “NO” is set for the subwoofer, the subwoofer mode settrng does not affect playback of low

frequency signal range.

l When the “+MAIN” playback mode is selected, the low frequency srgnal 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 unrformly through the room, but depending on the srze and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range.

l 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.

l Try playing the music or movie source and select the playback mode provrding the stronger low frequency range sound.

15 DSP SURROUND SIMULATION

l This unit is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital srgnal processing to synthetically recreate the

sound field. One of 7 preset surround modes can be selected according to the program source and the parameters can be adjusted accordrng to the conditions in the listening room to achieve a more realistic, powerful sound. These surround modes can also be used for program sources not recorded in Dolby Surround Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS.

In this mode, the signals of the front left channel are output from the left surround channel, the signals of the front

5CH/6CH STEREO

right channel are output from the right surround channel, and the same (in-phase) component of the left and right channels is output from the center channel. This mode provides all speaker surround sound, but without directional steering effects, and works with any stereo program source.

NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound WIII 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 (monophonrc camcorder, etc.) obtarn a “Y” adapter cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.

NOTE: DIRECT, STEREO and 5CH/6CH STEREO mode can be used when playrng PCM signals wrth a sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from DVD-Video discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio). If such signals are input during playback in the other surround modes, the mode automatically switches to STEREO.

19 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

There are currently various types of multi-channel signals (signals or formats with more than two channels). W Types of multi-channel signals

Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS, high definition 3-l signals (Japan MUSE Hi-Vision audio), DVD-Audio, SACD (Super Audio CD), MPEG multichannel audio, etc.

“Source” here does not refer to the type of signal (format) but the recorded content. Sources can be divided into two major categories.

W Types of sources

l Movie audio

Movie theater sound field

Signals created to be played in movie theaters. In general sound is recorded to be played in movie theaters equipped

with multiple surround speakers, regardless of the format (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.).

Listening room sound field

In this case it is important to achieve the same sense of expansion as in a movie theater with the surround channels. To do so, in some cases the number of surround speakers is

increased (to four or eight) or speakers with bipolar or dipolar properties are used.

SL: Surround L channel SR: Surround R channel SB: Surround back channel (1 spkr or 2 spkrs)

:-------SE-------I

Multiple surround speakers

(For 6.1.channel system)

l Other types of audio These signals are designed to recreate a 360” sound field using three to five speakers.

In this case the speakers should surround the listener from all sides to create a uniform sound field from 360”. Ideally the surround speakers should function as “point” sound sources in the same way as the front speakers.

These two types of sources thus have different properties, and different speaker settings, particularly for the surround speakers, are required in order to achieve the ideal sound.

A 6.1-channel system is a conventional 5.1-channel system to which the “surround back” (SB) channel has been added. This makes it easy to achieve sound positioned directly behind the listener, something that was previously difficult with sources designed for conventional multi surround speakers. 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.

With this set, speaker(s) for 1 or 2 channels are required to achieve a 6.1.channel system (DTS-ES, etc.). Addrng these speakers, however, increases the surround effect not only with sources recorded in 6.1 channels but also with conventional 2-to 5.1.channel sources. All the Denon original surround modes (see page 48) are compatible with 7.1~channel playback, so you can enjoy 6.1.channel sound with any signal source.

W Number of surround back speakers

Though the surround back channel only consists of 1 channel of playback signals for 6.1~channel sources (DTS-ES, etc.), we recommend usrng two speakers. When using speakers with dipolar characteristics in partrcular, it is essential to use two speakers. Using two speakers results in a smoother blend with the sound of the surround channels and better sound posrtioning of the surround back channel when listening from a position other than the center.

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

Using surround back speakers greatly improves the positioning of the sound at the rear. Because of this, the surround left and right channels play an important role in achieving a smooth transition of the acoustic image from the front to the back. As shown on the diagram above, in a

movie theater the surround signals are also produced from diagonally in front of the listeners, creatrng an acoustic image as If the sound were floating in space. To achieve these effects, we recommend placrng the speakers for the surround left and right channels slightly more towards the front than with conventional surround systems. Doing so sometimes increases the surround effect when playing conventional 5.1.channel sources in the

6.1 surround or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 mode. Check the surround effects of the various modes before selecting the surround mode.

Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up your system according to the type

of speakers used and the main usage purpose.

1. DTS-ES compatible system (using surround back speakers) (1) Basic setting for primarily watching movies

Set the front speakers wrth therr front surfaces as flush with the TV or monitor screen as possrble. Set the center speaker between the front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position than the front speakers.

Consult the owner’s manual for your subwoofer for advtce on placing

Surround speaker

Pornt slightly downwards

the subwoofer withrn the hstenrng room.

If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar) then place them slrghtly behind and at an angle to the lrstenrng position and parallel to the walls at a posrtron 60 to 90 centrmeters (2 to 3 feet) above ear level at the prime lrstenrng posrtion.

When using two surround back speakers, place them at the back

As seen from the side

facing the front at a narrower drstance than the front left and right speakers. When using one surround back speaker, place It at the rear center facing the front at a sirghtly higher position (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers.

We recommend installrng the surround back speaker(s) at a slrghtly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the surround back channel srgnals from reflectrng off the monitor or screen at the front center, resulting in interference and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.

Surround back speakers

(1 spkr or 2 spkrsl

As seen from above

(2) 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.

Same as surround back speaker installatron method (I). Usrng drpolar speakers for the surround back speakers as well is more effective.

Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker jacks.

The srgnals from the surround channels reflect off the walls as shown on the dragram at the left, creating an enveloping and realrstrc surround sound presentatron.

As seen from the side

For multi-channel musrc sources however, the use of bipolar or dipolar speakers mounted at the sides of the listening position may not be satisfactory in order to create a coherent 360 degree surround sound field. Connect another pair of direct radiating speakers as descrrbed rn example (3) and place them at the rear corners of the room facing towards the prime listening position.

2. When not using surround back speakers

Consult the owner’s manual for your subwoofer for advrce on placing the subwoofer within the lrstenrng room.

If the surround speakers are drrect-radrating (monopolar) then place them slightly behrnd and at an angle to the lrstenrng posrtron and parallel to the walls at a posrtion 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above ear level at the prime listening posrtion.

The AVR-1803/883 is equipped with a digital signal processtng 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 (1) Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Dolby Digital consists of up to “5.1 ” channels -front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and an addltional channel exclusively reserved for additional deep bass sound effects (the Low Frequency Effects - LFE - channel, also called the “.I ” channel, containing bass frequencies of up to 120 Hz). Unlike the analog Dolby Pro Logic format, Dolby Digital’s main channels can all contain full range sound Information, from the lowest bass, up to the highest frequencies - 22 kHz. The signals within each channel are disttnct from the others, allowtng pinpolnt sound imaging, and Dolby Digital offers tremendous dynamic range from the most powerful sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and distortion.

(2) Dolby Pro Logic II

l Dolby Pro-Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic steering technology and

offering Improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.

l Dolby Pro Logic II can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround ( .X) but also regular stereo sources Into five channels

(front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve surround sound.

l Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited, Dolby Pro Logic II offers a wider

band range (20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater). In addition, the surround channels were monaural (the surround left and rtght channels were the same) with previous Dolby Pro Logic, but Dolby Pro Logic II they are played as stereo signals.

l Various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so it is possible to achieve optimum decoding (see page

42).

+% Sources recorded in Dolby Surround

These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals using Dolby Surround encoding technology. Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and video cassettes to be played on stereo VCRs, as well as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV. Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback. The signals can also be played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide normal stereo sound.

There are two types of DVD Dolby surround recording srgnals. @ 2-channel PCM stereo signals 0 2-channel Dolby Drgital signals

When either of these srgnals IS input to the AVR-1803/883, the surround mode is automatically set to Dolby Pro Logic II when the

“DOLBY/DTS SURROUND” mode is selected.

Digital Theater Surround (also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems. DTS offers the same “5.1” playback channels as Dolby Digital (front left, front right and center, surround left and surround right) as well as the stereo 2-channel mode. The signals for the different channels are fully independent, eliminating the risk of deterioration of sound quality due to interference between signals, crosstalk, etc. DTS features a relatively higher bit rate as compared to Dolby Digital (1234 kbps for CDs and LDs, 1536 kbps for DVDs) so it operates with a relatively low compression rate. Because of this the amount of data is great, and when DTS playback is used in movie theaters, a separate CD-

ROM synchronized with the film IS played. With LDs and DVDs, there is of course no need for an extra disc; the pictures and sound can be recorded simultaneously on the same disc, so the discs can be handled in the same way as discs with other formats. There are also music CDs recorded in DTS. These CDs include 5.1-channel surround signals (compared to two channels on current CDs). They do

not include picture data, but they offer surround playback on CD players that are equipped with digital outputs (PCM type digital output required).

DTS surround track playback offers the same intricate, grand sound as In a movie theater, right in your own listening room. n DTS compatible media and playback methods

% 1 DTS signals are recorded in the same way on CDs and LDs as PCM signals. Because of this, the un-decoded DTS signals are output as

random “hissy” noise from the CD or LD player’s analog outputs, If this noise is played with the amplifier set at a very high volume, it may possibly cause damage to the speakers. To avoid this, be sure to switch the input mode to “AUTO” or “DTS” before playing CDs or LDs recorded in DTS. Also, never switch the Input mode to “ANALOG” or “PCM” during playback. The same holds true when playing CDs or LDs on a DVD player or LD/DVD compatible player. For DVDs, the DTS signals are recorded in a special way so this problem does not occur.

%2 The signals provided at the digital outputs of a CD or LD player may undergo some sort of internal signal processing (output level

adjustment, sampling frequency conversion, etc.). In this case the DTS-encoded signals may be processed erroneously, in which case they

cannot be decoded by the AVR-1803/883, or may only produce noise. Before playing DTS signals for the first time, turn down the master volume to a low level, start playing the DTS disc, then check whether the DTS indicator on the AVR-1803/883 (see page 45) lights before turning up the master volume.

13 A DVD player with DTS-compatible digital output is required to play DTS DVDs. A DTS Digital Output logo is featured on the front panel of

compatible DVD players. Recent DENON DVD player models feature DTS-compatible digital output - consult the player’s owner’s manual for information on configuring the digital output for DTS playback of DTS-encoded DVDs.

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digrtal Theater Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals. This format has been used professionally in movie theaters since 1999.

In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR and LFEI, DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the SB (Surround Back, sometrmes also referred to as “surround center”) channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two signal formats with different surround signal recording methods, as described below.

DTS-ESTM Discrete 6.1 DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 is the newest recording format. With it, all 6.1 channels (including the SB channel) are recorded independently usrng a digital discrete system. The main feature of this format is that because the SL, SR and SB channels are fully independent, the sound can be designed with total freedom and it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic Images are moving about freely among the background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees. Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS-ES decoder, when played with a conventional DTS decoder the SB channel signals are automatically down-mixed to the SL and SR channels, so none of the signal components are lost.

DTS-ESTM Matrix 6.1 With this format, the additional SB channel signals undergo matrix encoding and are Input to the SL and SR channels beforehand. Upon playback they are decoded to the SL, SR and SB channels. The performance of the encoder used at the time of recording can be fully matched using a high precision digital matrix decoder developed by DTS, thereby achieving surround sound more faithful to the producer’s sound design aims than with conventional 5.1- or 6.1-channel systems. In addition, the bit stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS srgnals, so the effect of the Matrix 6.1 format can be achieved even with 5.1.channel signal sources. Of course it is also possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 encoded sources with a DTS 5.1.channel decoder.

When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 encoded sources are decoded with a DTS-ES decoder, the format is automatically detected upon decoding and the optimum playing mode is selected. However, some Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected as having a 5.1-channel format, so the

DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 mode must be set manually to play these sources. (For instructions on selecting the surround mode, see page 45.)

The DTS-ES decoder includes another function, the DTS Neo:6 surround mode for 6.1.channel playback of drgrtal PCM and analog signal sources.

DTS Neo:GTM surround This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1. channel surround playback. High precision input signal detection and matrix processing enable full band reproduction (frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) for all 6.1 channels, and separation between the different channels is improved to the same level as that of a digital discrete system.

DTS Neo:6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source.

l DTS Neo:6 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 conventronal surround formats as well, because the In-phase component IS assigned

mainly to the center channel (0 and the reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SB channels).

l DTS Neo:6 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.
