2 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

III

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:

l Install this unit 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 n/ohms feeder wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75 Q/ohms coaxial cables.

For heat dispersal, leave at least 0.3 ft (IO 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.

l 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.

l Muting of PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER

terminals The PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals 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.

4 FEATURES

1. Dolby Pro Logic II decoder 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 “threedimensional” 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.

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 Pius 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 prememory function. The remote control command codes for DENON remote controllable AV components as well as for DVD players, LD players, video decks, TVs, etc., of other major manufacturers are prestored in the memory.

7. 6CH EXT. IN jack This unit is equipped with 6CH EXT. IN jacks for use with audio formats of the future.

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 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.

9 USING THE REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

Following the procedure outlined below, insert the batteries before using the remote control unit.

Point the remote control unit at the remote control sensor as shown

on the diagram at the left.

NOTES:

l 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.

l Neon signs or other devices emitting pulse-type noise nearby may

result in malfunction, so keep the set as far away from such devices as possible.

@ Press as shown by the arrow and slide @ Insert the RGP/AA batteries properly, as

off. shown on the diagram.

NOTES:

l Use only RGP/AA batteries for replacement,

l Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.) l Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not be used for an extended period of time. l 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.

l Have replacement batteries on hand so that the old batteries can be replaced as quickly as possible when the time comes. l 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.)

System setup

Input the combination of speakers in your system and their corresponding sizes (SMALL for regular speakers, LARGE for full-we. full-range) to automatically set the composition of the signals output from the speakers and the frequency response.

This selects the subwoofer speaker for playing deep bass signals.

This parameter IS for optimizing the timing with which the audio signals are produced from the speakers and subwoofer according to the listening positIon.

This assigns the digital Input jacks for the different Input sources.

This adjusts the volume of the signals output from the speakers and subwoofer for the different channels in order to obtan optimum effects.

NOTES:

- Assignment of low frequency signal range -

l 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 -

l 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 18, 19).

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.

l 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.

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 providing the stronger low frequency range sound.

14 DSP SURROUND SIMULATION

l This unit is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal 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 according

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 or Dolby Digital.

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

1 5CH 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.

% Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.

In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes

NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will 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 (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a “Y” adaptor cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and 13 inputs.

NOTE: Only the STEREO mode can be used when playing PCM signals with 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 one of the other surround modes, the mode automatically switches to STEREO.

If the DTS signals are input during playback in VIRTUAL surround mode, the mode automatically switches to STEREO.

Select this when watching monaural movies for a greater sense of expansion.

Use this mote to achieve the feeling of a live concert in an arena with reflected sounds coming from all directions.

This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls. This mode gives jazz a very vivid realism.

Dolby Surround (I) Dolby Digital (Dolby Surround AC-31

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 additional 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 distinct from the others, allowing pinpoint 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 ( *X4) 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 right 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

30).

% 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 signals

@I 2-channel PCM stereo signals @ 2-channel Dolby Digital signals

When either of these signals is input to the AVR-1802, the surround mode is automatically set to Dolby Pro Logic II when the “DOLBY/DTS SURROUND” mode is selected.

Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the logo mark shown below. Dolby Surround support mark: ml-=-=+

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 CDROM 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.

DTS compatible media and playback methods

Marks indicating DTS compatibility:

The following are general examples. Also refer to the player’s operating instructions.

Media Dolby Digital output jacks Playback method (reference page)

LD (VDP)

% 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.

I 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 this unit, 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 this unit (see page 33) lights before turning up the master volume.

I 3 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.

Note:

When a subwoofer has been connected and the virtual surround function is being used, the signal played from the subwoofer channel is LFE

only (only when playing Dolby Digital or DTS signals) for initial factory settings (i.e., the setting of the front speaker is “LARGE” and the setting of the subwoofer mode is “NORM”).

When subwoofer effects are felt to be weak, while in the system setup mode try setting the subwoofer mode to “+MAIN”, or the front speaker

to “SMALL” in the Speaker Configuration settings.

Making these settings will result in the low-frequency sounds of the front channel being played from the subwoofer.
