The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the product and in the operating
instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning – Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water – for example,
near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement;
or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with
the product. Any mounting of the product should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
9. A product and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation
and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
11. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type
of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12. Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode. See Figure A.
16. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm,
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
17. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
18. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
19. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the product.
20. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
21. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this
indicates a need for service.
22. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
23. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the
product is in proper operating condition.
24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be mounted to a wall or
ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

¢ Speaker impedance
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.
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.

• For best picture quality (especially with progressive DVD and other high definition sources), choose the
component video or HDMI connection to your monitor. S-Video and composite video outputs are also
provided if your monitor does not have component video inputs.
Connecting a DVD player and monitor
•To connect the video output from the DVD player to the AVR-2307CI, you only need to choose one
connection type. For more information about the video up conversion function ( page 15).
•To connect the digital audio output from the DVD player, you can choose from either the coaxial or
optical connections. If you choose to use the coaxial connection, it needs to be assigned. For more
information about Digital Input Assignment ( page 49).
Audio signal flow is shown with white arrows, video signal flow is shown with gray arrows.
• Connect a non-DVD video disc player (such as a laser disc, VCD/SVCD, or future high definition disc
player) to the DVD/VDP terminals in the same way.
• The AVR-2307CI is equipped with HDMI terminals, so it can be connected to a DVD player or monitor
using an HDMI cable.
• The component video input and/or output terminals may be labelled differently on some monitors or
video components. Check the owner’s manuals for other components for further information.
• Audio signals are only output from the HDMI monitor out terminal when audio signals are input to the
HDMI input terminal.
• When connecting the AVR-2307CI and DVD player using an HDMI cable, also connect the AVR-2307CI
and monitor using an HDMI cable ( page 19).

Auto Setup/Room Equalizer (Room EQ)
Functions
• The AVR-2307CI’s auto setup and room equalizer functions use the
attached microphone to measure the acoustic properties in the
room and automatically make the optimum settings.
• When the auto setup procedure is performed, one of the following
three correction curves can be selected for the room equalizer
function.
Normal:
Adjust the frequency response of all speaker suitable for general
surround system.
Front:
This adjusts the characteristics of each speaker to the
characteristics of the front speakers.
Flat:
This the frequency response of all speakers flat. This mode is
optimum for playing multi-channel signal music.
•To make the sound field settings manually ( page 60 ~ 63).

¢ On screen display for component video outputs
and HDMI output
• When viewing component video signals or HDMI signals via the
AVR-2307CI, the on screen display is displayed on the monitor
when the “System Setup” operations are performed and when
the remote control unit’s ON SCREEN button is operated.
• When only component video signals are input to the AVR-2307CI,
the characters of the on screen display are not displayed over the
picture.
• 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.
• If your monitor is compatible with a resolution of 480i, the set can
be used with “Analog to HDMI Convert” at “Setting the HDMI Out
Setup” ( page 54) set to “ON”.
• The resolutions with which the monitor is compatible can be
checked using the STATUS button or the ON SCREEN button on the
remote control unit.
• It is not possible to down-convert from HDMI input signals to the
component, S-Video or composite video monitor output terminals.
• If the monitor equipped with HDMI terminal is not compatible with
the 480i/576i resolution, connect the player and the AVR-2307CI
using a component cable and set the player’s resolution to one
which the monitor can handle.
•Video down conversion to the monitor output is only possible when
the component video input resolution is 480i (interlaced standard
definition video – NTSC format, for North America) or 576i
(interlaced standard definition video – PAL format, for Europe and
other countries).

¢ 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.
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-HDMIcertified product) is used.

¢ 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.
The AVR-2307CI is HDMI Ver. 1.1 compatible.
• If your digital monitor or DVD player only supports DVI-D, please obtain and use an HDMI-DVI
conversion cable or adaptor, available from your dealer.
Connecting equipment with HDMI terminals
•A simple 1-cable connection (using a commercially available cable) with a device having an HDMI (HighDefinition Multimedia Interface) terminal allows digital transfer of the digital images of DVD-Video and
other sources, and the multi-channel sound of DVD-Audio and DVD-Video.
•To provide audio output from AVR-2307CI’s audio output terminal, select “Amp” at the “HDMI In
Assign”.
To provide audio output from the TV, select “TV” at the “HDMI In Assign” ( page 53).

Connecting a VCR
• There are two sets of video deck (VCR) terminals, so two video decks can be connected for
simultaneous recording or video copying.
• If you choose to use the component video connection, it needs to be assigned. For more information
about Component Input Assignment ( page 53).
•When recording to a VCR, it is necessary that the type of cable used with the playback source equipment
be the same type that is connected to the AVR-2307CI VCR-1 (to 2) OUT terminal.
Example: VCR-1 IN → S-Video cable : VCR-2 OUT → S-Video cable
VCR-2 IN → Video cable : VCR-1 OUT → Video cable
Connecting a DVD recorder
• For best picture quality choose the component video connection to your DVD recorder. S-Video and
composite video outputs are also provided. If you choose to use the optical connection, it needs to be
assigned. For more information about Digital Input Assignment ( page 49).
• If you wish to perform analog dubbing from a digital sources, such as a DVD recorder to an analog
recorder such as a cassette deck, you will needs connect the analog inputs and outputs as shown
below, in addition to the digital audio connections.
NOTE:
• Do not connect the output of the component connected to the OPTICAL 3 OUT terminal on the AVR2307CI’s rear panel to any terminal other than the OPTICAL 3 IN terminal.
• When recording to a DVD recorder, it is necessary that the type of cable used with the playback source
equipment be the same type that is connected to the AVR-2307CI VCR-1 (to 2) OUTPUT terminal.
Example: TV IN → S-Video cable : VCR-1 OUT → S-Video cable
TV IN → Video cable : VCR-1 OUT → Video cable
• The source selected for MAIN ZONE is output from the digital output terminal (OPT-3).
The source selected in the REC SELECT mode is not associated with the output from the digital output
terminal (OPT-3).
