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.

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.

2 Speaker impedance

Speaker	Impedance
Front A, B	6 ~ 16 Ω/ohms
Front A+B	8 ~ 16 Ω/ohms
Center
Surround	6 ~ 16 Ω/ohms
Surround back

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.

Easy Setup Procedure

2 Connections

•With the AVR-2807, up to 10 speakers can be connected for surround playback.

Easy Setup Procedure

Auto Setup/Room Equalizer (Room EQ) Functions

•The AVR-2807’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.

•The optimum listening environment at all listening positions in the home theater is achieved so multiple listeners can enjoy listening at the same time.

As shown in Example q, as you make the measurements, move the microphone successively to the different positions in which the members of the family sit within the listening area surrounded by the speakers. For best results, make the measurements at 6 locations.

Even if the home theater is only used by a small number of people, as in Example w, more effective equalization can be achieved by taking the measurements in the area around the listening position.

•When the auto setup procedure is performed, one of the following 3 correction curves can be selected for the room equalizer function.

Audyssey:

The frequency response of all the speakers is adjusted to achieve the optimum environment for the room’s acoustics.

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.

2 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 (Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection System). HDCP is copy protection technology that comprises data encryption and authentication of the partner equipment.

The AVR-2807 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.

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-2807 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.

•When “OFF” is set at “i/p Convert” under “Setting the HDMI Out Setup”, use a monitor compatible with input resolutions of 480i/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.

•For stable signal transfer, we recommend using cables that are a maximum of 5 meters in length.

2 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..

<SOURCE> then operate <FUNCTION>.

2 Press INPUT MODE.

AUTO PCM DTS

EXT. IN ANALOG

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

AUTO (All auto mode):

The type of input signal is detected and the AVR-2807’s surround mode is switched automatically. Can be selected for sources for which the “Digital In Assign” (page 47) 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.

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.

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.

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”.

3 Start playback on the selected component.

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

4 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.

•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 “DIG.” indicator lights when digital signals are being input

properly. If the “DIG.” indicator does not light, check whether the “Digital In Assign” (page 47) and connections are correct.

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.
