TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

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.

1. Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the product is operated.

2. Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be 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.

Easy Setup Procedure

• 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.

¢ 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).

•To set the video conversion function to “OFF” ( page 54).

¢ 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.

¢ 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).

Basic Operation

Playing the input source

Use FUNCTION to select the input source you want to play.

To select the input source when ZONE2/REC SELECT is selected, press <MAIN>then operate <FUNCTION>.

Start playback on the selected component.

For operating instructions, refer to the component’s manual.

Press INPUT MODE.

• The input mode indicator lights.

AUTO (All auto mode):

The type of input signal is detected and the AVR-2307CI’s surround mode is switched automatically. Can be selected for sources for which the “Digital In Assignment” (page 49) is made. The mode switches automatically to DTS / Dolby Digital / PCM. The input switches to the analog input terminals is no digital signals are being input.

ANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback mode) and EXT. IN (External decoder input terminal selection mode):

The signals input to the various input terminals are played.

PCM (exclusive PCM signal playback mode) and DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback mode):

Played when the various signals are input. Noise may be generated when a mode different from the input signal is set.

AUTO

EXT. IN ANALOG

PCM DTS

Use VOLUME to adjust the volume.

• The volume level is displayed on the master volume level display.

The volume can be adjusted between the range of –80 ~ 0 ~ 18 dB. Depending on the channel level settings and the different surround mode settings and when in the down-mix mode, it may not be possible to adjust the volume to 18 dB.

NOTE:

• When the input mode is set to the external input (EXT. IN), the surround mode cannot be set.

• In play modes other than the external input mode, the signals connected to these terminals cannot be played.

Cautions when playing DTS sources:

• For DTS sources, be sure to connect the device to the digital input terminal and set “AUTO” or “DTS” for the input source. Noise will be generated if you play in the “ANALOG” or “PCM” mode.

• When playing DTS signals in the “AUTO” mode, noise may be generated when you first start playing and during searching. If so, play in the “DTS” mode.

• Canceling the EXT. IN mode: Press INPUT MODE or <ANALOG>to switch to the desired input mode.

•To use the EXT. IN mode together with a picture, select the input source to which the video signal is connected first, then set the input mode.

• The “DIGITAL” indicator lights when digital signals are being input properly. If the “DIGITAL” indicator does not light, check whether the “Digital In Assignment” ( page 49) and connections are correct.

Press <ANALOG>to select “ANALOG”, <EXT. IN>to select “EXT. IN”.

To lower the subwoofer channel level in the EXT. IN mode, press SURROUND PARAMETER and select “SW. ATT”. For some players the playback level of the SW channel may seen strong. If so, set to “ON”.

Using the DENON original surround modes

The AVR-2307CI is equipped with a high performance digital signal processor (DSP) that uses digital signal processing to recreate sound fields artificially. One of seven surround modes can be selected according to the program source and parameters can be further adjusted to achieve even more realistic sound fields.

Types of surround modes and their features

This mode recreates the atmosphere of a live concert in an arena.

This mode recreates the atmosphere of a live concert in a club with low ceilings, hard walls and the artist just in front of you.

This mode provides a rich sense of presence for video games.

This mode recreates the atmosphere of an expansive sound field for movie sources recorded in monaural.

This mode recreates music sources recorded in stereo with an enhanced sense of expansion.

This mode can be used to enjoy surround sound with only front speakers or when using headphones.

NOTE 1: “5CH STEREO” is displayed when “SB CH OUT” is set to “OFF”. NOTE 2: 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” adapter cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.

• 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.

This mode lets you enjoy stereo sound with seven speakers. The front L (R) channel signals are played from the surround and surround back L (R) channels and only the in-phase component of the L and R channels is played on the center channel.

Additional Information

About the speakers

Surround back speakers

Sound position directly to the rear can be achieved easily by adding a surround back speaker to a 5.1-channel system. 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.

In addition to sources recorded in 6.1-channels, the surround effect of conventional 2- to 5.1-channel sources can also be enhanced.

¢ Number of surround back speakers

We recommend using two speakers. When using dipolar speakers in particular, be sure to use two speakers.

¢ Placement of the surround left and right channels

when using surround back speakers

We recommend installing the speakers for the surround “L” and “R” channels a bit forward.

¢ Sources recorded in Dolby Surround

Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the following logo marks. Dolby Surround support mark:

Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “Pro Logic” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

The AVR-2307CI is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the same sense of presence as in a movie theater.

Surround

Dolby Surround

[1] Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. A total of 5.1-channels are played: three front channels (“FL”, “FR” and “C”), two surround channels (“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for low frequencies. Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic sound field with a “three-dimensional” feeling (sense of distance, movement and positioning) is achieved. A real, overpowering sense of presence is achieved when playing movie sources in AV rooms as well.

[2] Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5 channels to achieve an excellent surround effect. The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to create a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich sense of presence for all stereo sources.

[3] Dolby Pro Logic IIx

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic II matrix decoding technology. Audio signals recorded in 2 channels are decoded to achieve a natural sound with up to 7.1-channels. There are three modes: “Music” suited for playing music, “Cinema” suited for playing movies, and “Game” which is optimum for playing games.

DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround is a digital surround format developed by Digital Theater Systems of the United States. The number of playback channels and the playing band is the same as for Dolby Digital (5.1-channels). The compression rate of the audio data when it was recorded on the medium is lower than for Dolby Digital, so there is more information when the data is decoded, resulting in richer, clearer sound quality.

DTS-ES™

DTS-ES is a new surround format developed by Digital Theater Systems. A sound image and sense of positioning can be achieved by adding a surround back (“SB”) channel to the conventional 5.1-channels.

DTS-ES™ Discrete 6.1:

This is the latest format, in which all 6.1-channels, including the “SB” channel, are recorded independently. Since the different channels are independent, the sound can be designed with total freedom.

DTS-ES™ Matrix 6.1:

With this format, the “SB” channel is matrix-encoded and inserted into the “SL” and “SR” channels, then decoded for the “SL”, “SR” and “SB” channels upon playback. This achieves a surround sound more faithful to the artist’s sound design intentions than with conventional 5.1- or 6.1-channel systems.

DTS NEO:6 surround

This is a matrix decoding technology for 6.1-channel surround playback of 2-channel sources. The optimum decoding for the type of signal source to be played can be selected. There are two modes.

DTS NEO:6 CINEMA:

This mode is suited for playing movies. It achieves the same type of sound as in a movie theater, even with 2 channels.

DTS NEO:6 MUSIC:

This mode is suited for playing music. A natural sense of expansion is added to the sound field.

DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems. The sampling frequency is raised to achieve 5.1-channel playback with high quality sound (sampling frequency: 96 kHz, quantization: 24 bits).
