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 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 Ω/ohms feeder
wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas
and 75 Ω/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.
• Store this instructions in a safe place
After reading, store this instructions along with the
warranty in a safe place.
• Note that the illustrations in this instructions
may differ from the actual set for explanation
purposes.
• V. AUX terminal

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 is connected to
the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the
MASTER VOLUME control or connect components
to the input jacks.
• Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and
SPEAKER terminals
The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER
terminals include a muting circuit.
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 functioning. Always wait until
the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the
volume.
• Whenever the unit is in the STANDBY state, the
apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage.
Please be sure to turn the power off (
you leave home for, say, a vacation.
£off) when

Connecting a Video game component
• Connect the Video game component’s output
jacks to this unit’s V. AUX INPUT jacks.
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.
Connecting the speaker cords
1. Loosen by turning
counterclockwise.
2. Insert the cord. 3. Tighten by turning
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 and
surround back 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.
clockwise.
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.
Video camera
The V. AUX INPUT terminal is covered with a cap. Remove this cap in order to use the terminal. (See page 3
for instructions on removing the cap.)

Connecting a video camera component
• Connect the video camera component’s output
jacks to this unit’s V. AUX INPUT jacks.
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.

NOTES:
• The on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack during playback
of a video component. For example, if the TV monitor is connected to both the AVR-1905’s S-Video and
video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-1905 from a video source (VDP, etc.) connected
to both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the SVideo monitor output. If you wish to output the signals to the video monitor output jack, do not connect a
cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 16.)
• The AVR-1905’s on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may
be difficult to read small characters on TVs with small screens or low resolutions.
• The setup menu is not displayed when headphone are being used.

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.
— Crossover Frequency —
• When “Subwoofer” is set to “Ye s ” 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 set 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 a 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 12).
• When the “LFE+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.
• Selection of the “LFE ” play mode will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected with
“Large” from that channel only. Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are played from the
subwoofer channel are only the low frequency signal range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal
playback) and the channel specified as “Small” in the setup menu.
• Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with quantity.
• When the subwoofer is set to “Ye s”, bass sound is output from the subwoofer regardless of the subwoofer
mode setting in surround modes other than Dolby/DTS.
• In surround modes other than Dolby Digital and DTS, if the subwoofer is set to “YES”, the low frequency
portion is always output to the subwoofer channel. For details, refer to “Surround Modes and Parameters”
on page 30.
Setting the Test Tone
• Use this setting to adjust to that the playback level between the different channel is equal.
• From the listening position, listen to the test tones produced from the speakers to adjust the level.
• The level can also be adjusted directly from the remote control unit. (For details, see page 23.)

This remote control unit can be used to operate components of other manufacturers without using the learning
function by registering the manufacturer of the component as shown on the List of Preset Codes (pages
276~278).
Operation is not possible for some models.

separate input sources are stored in the memory.
q AUTO (auto mode)
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 AVR1905’s surround decoder is selected automatically
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.

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.
e DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback mode)
Decoding and playback are only performed when
DTS signals are being input.
r ANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback
mode)
The signals input to the analog input jacks are
decoded and played.
t EXT. 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”

contents is not of optimum quality.
Select one of the modes (“Cinema”, “Music”, “Pro Logic”or “Game”).
Panorama Control:
This mode extends the front stereo image to include the surround speakers for an exciting “wraparound”
effect with side wall imaging.
Select “OFF” or “ON”.
Dimension Control:
This control gradually adjust the soundfield either towards the front or towards the rear.
The control can be set in 7 steps from 0 to 6.
Center Width Control:
This control adjust the center image so it may be heard only from the center speaker; only from the left/right
speakers as a phantom image; or from all three front speakers to varying degrees.
The control can be set in 8 steps from 0 to 7.
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 conventional surround formats as well, because the
in-phase component is assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase component to the
surround (SL, SR and SB channels).
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.
The center image parameter for adjusting the expansion of the center channel in the DTS NEO:6 MUSIC
mode has been added.
