3CAUTIONS 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 jacks 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.

4FEATURES

1.Multi Room Music Entertainment System

Multi Source Function:

This unit’s Multi Source function lets you select different audio or video sources for viewing or listening Different sources can thus be enjoyed in the main room and the subroom simultaneously.

2.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.

3.Dolby Digital

Using advanced digital processing algorithms, Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround sound. Dolby Digital is the default digital audio delivery system for North American DVD and DTV.

ENGLISH

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.

Speaker Impedance

•Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 Ω /ohms can be connected for use as front and center speakers.

•Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω /ohms can be connected for use as surround and surround back speakers.

•Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the

same time, since use of speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω /ohms will lead to damage.

•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.

Connection the speaker terminals

1. Loosen by turning	2. Insert the cord.	3. Tighten by turning	Connecting banana plugs
counterclockwise		clockwise.
			banana plug

Turn clockwise to tighten, then insert the banana plug.

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 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.

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 not output from the color difference (component) video signal (MONITOR OUT) jacks.

•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-2802/982’s S-Video and video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-2802/982 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 S-Video 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 26.)

•The AVR-2802/982’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 ONLY” is selected.

4	Press the ENTER button to finalize the setting.
	ENTER

NOTE:

•Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the actual size of the speaker but according to the speaker’s capacity for playing low frequency (bass sound below frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode and below) signals. If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the speakers) to determine the proper setting.

•When “2spkrs” is selected for the surround back channel, and external integrated pre-main amplifier or power amplifier must be connected to the pre-out jacks (SBL and SBR). (See page 13.)

•Parameters

Large...................Select this when using speakers that have sufficient performance for reproducing bass sound below the frequency set for the

	Crossover Frequency mode.
Small...................	Select this when using speakers that do not have sufficient performance for reproducing bass sound below the frequency set
	for the Crossover Frequency mode. When this is set, bass sound with a frequency below the frequency set for the Crossover
	Frequency mode is sent to the subwoofer.
	When this setting is selected, low frequencies of below the frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode are assigned
	to the subwoofer.
None……............	Select this when no speakers are installed.
Yes/No….............	Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when a subwoofer is not installed.
2spkrs/1spkr .......	Set the number of speakers to be used for the surround back channel.

If the subwoofer has sufficient low frequency playback capacity, good sound can be achieved even when “Small” is set for the front, center and surround speakers.

For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the Small setting for all five main speakers and Subwooofer On with a connected subwoofer will yield the best results.

Setting the Crossover Frequency and Subwoofer mode

This screen is not displayed when not using a subwoofer.

• Set the crossover frequency and subwoofer mode according to the speaker system being used.

1	Select the “Crossover Frequency” mode.

Select the frequency.

2	Select the “Subwoofer Mode”.

Select the setting.

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 17).

3	ENTER	Enter the setting.
		The System Setup Menu reappears.

NOTES:

— Assignment of low frequency signal range —

• The only 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 menu. The low frequency signal range of channels set to “Large” are produced from those channels.

— Crossover Frequency —

•When “Subwoofer” is set to “Yes” 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 —

•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 body.

•When the subwoofer is set to “Yes”, bass sound is output from the subwoofer regardless of the subwoofer mode setting in surround modes other than Dolby/DTS.
