Easy Setup Procedure
Speaker connections
Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like polarities are matched (< with <, > with >).
NOTE:
When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors of the speaker cable come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other speaker cable conductors, or with the rear panel and screws.
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shocks.
Connecting the speaker cables
1. Loosen by turning counterclockwise.
Either tightly twist or terminate the core wires.
2. Insert the cable.
3. Tighten by turning clockwise.
Connecting banana plugs
Turn clockwise to tighten, then insert the banana plug.

Note on speaker impedance
When using speakers with an impedance below the designated value (for example 4 Ω/ohms), playing for long periods of time with the volume high could cause the temperature to rise, activating the protection circuit.
When the protection circuit is activated, the output to the speakers is cut off and the power indicator blinks. If this happens, unplug the power cord, wait for the set to cool off and improve ventilation around the unit. Also check the wiring of the input cables and the speaker cables. After doing this, plug the power cord back in and turn the unit’s 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 analog video to HDMI conversion function
•The AVR-2307CI’s video up-conversion function lets you output analog video input signals (component – 480i/576i, 480p/576p, 1080i or 720p; S-Video and composite video - 480i/576i) to the HDMI monitor output terminal with the original resolution.
•The on screen display signals are output from the HDMI monitor output terminal with a resolution of 480i/576i. Because of this, if the monitor equipped with HDMI terminal is compatible with the 480i/576i resolution, all the signals the AVR-2307CI handles can be output to the monitor with a single HDMI cable.

The AVR-2307CI is HDMI Ver. 1.1 compatible.
¢ Copyright Protection System
To play back the digital video and audio of DVDVideo and DVD-Audio through an HDMI/DVI-D connection, both the connected player and monitor are required to support a copyright protection system called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the partner equipment.
The AVR-2307CI supports HDCP. Please see the user’s manual of your video display for more information about this.
digital monitor or DVD player only supports DVI-D, please obtain and use an HDMI-DVI cable or adaptor, available from your dealer.
Connecting Other Sources
NOTE:
•The audio signals on the multi/stereo area of Super Audio CDs are not output. If the Super Audio CD is a hybrid CD, only the audio signals in the CD area are output.
•Use a compatible player to play DVD-Audio discs that are copyright protected by CPPM.
•Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI terminal; however, the AVR-2307CI cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI terminal.
•The audio signals from the HDMI terminal (including the sampling frequency and bit length) may be limited by the equipment that is connected.
•The video signals are not output properly if a device not compatible with HDCP is used.
•Use an HDMI monitor compatible with an HDMI input resolution of 480i or 576i.
•The video signals input from the HDMI input terminals are output to the HDMI monitor with their original resolution, so the image will not be displayed if the resolutions of the input signal and the monitor being used are not matched. In this case, change the setting of the resolution on the source device (player) to one which the monitor can handle.
•Use a cable including the HDMI logo (HDMI certified product) for connection of the HDMI terminal. Normal playback may not be possible if a cable that does not include the HDMI logo (non-HDMI- certified product) is used.
¢ Connections with an HDMI/DVI-D conversion cable (adapter)
•The HDMI video stream signals (video signals) are theoretically compatible with DVI-D. When connecting to a monitor, etc., equipped with DVI-D terminals, it is possible to connect using an HDMI/DVI-D conversion cable, but depending on the combination of devices used the image might not be output.
•When using an HDMI/DVI-D conversion adapter, the image may not be output properly due to poor contact with the connected cable, etc.
