Connecting the Speaker Cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and –
(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the AVR-2808,
and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
Connections
Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from
1
the tip of the speaker cable, then either
twist the core wire tightly or terminate
it.
Turn the speaker terminal
2
counterclockwise to loosen it.
Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to
3
the hilt into the speaker terminal.
Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to
4
tighten it.
NOTE
• Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. When using
front A and B speakers simultaneously, use speakers with an
impedance of 8 to 16 Ω/ohms.
• Connect the speaker cables in such a way that they do not stick out
of the speaker terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if
the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each
other (v “Protection circuit”).
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is
connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.
Protection circuit
If speakers with an impedance lower than specified (for example
4 Ω/ohms speakers) are used for an extended period of time with
the volume turned up high, the temperature may rise, activating the
protection circuit.
When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is shut
off and the power indicator flashes red. If this happens, unplug
the power cord, then check the speaker cable and input cable
connections. If the set is extremely hot, wait for it to cool off and
improve ventilation around it. Once this is done, plug the power cord
back in and turn the set’s power back on.
If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no
problems in the ventilation around the set nor in the connections,
the set may be damaged. Turn the power off, then contact a DENON
service center.

Copyright protection system (HDCP)
In order to play the digital video and audio signals of a DVDVideo or DVD-Audio disc using HDMI/DVI connections, both
the connected DVD player and monitor must be equipped
for a copyright protection system called “HDCP” (Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection).
HDCP is a copy protection technology consisting of data
encoding and mutual identification of the devices.
The AVR-2808 is HDCP-compatible. For details on the
DVD player or monitor you are using, refer to its operating
instructions.
Discs
(examples)
ENGLISH
NOTE
• Use a CPPM-compatible DVD player to play DVD-Audio discs that are copyright-protected by CPPM.
• The AVR-2808 cannot be controlled from another device via the HDMI cable.
• The audio signals output from the HDMI connector (sampling frequency, bit rate, etc.) may be restricted
by the connected device.
• Video signals are not output properly when using devices that are not HDCP-compatible.
• Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the monitor’s resolution. In this case,
switch the DVD player’s resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is compatible.
• If the menu “Manual Setup” – “HDMI Setup” – “HDMI Audio Setup” – “HDMI Audio Out” setting
(vpage 27) is set to “AMP”, the sound may be interrupted when the monitor’s power is turned off.
• Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI product) for connection to the HDMI
connector. Normal playback may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the HDMI
logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certified product).
• If the monitor or DVD player does not support deep color, deep color signal transfer is not possible.
• If the monitor or DVD player does not support xvYCC, xvYCC signal transfer is not possible.
• If the monitor does not support “Auto Lipsync Correction” function, this function will not work.
• When the AVR-2808 and DVD player are connected using an HDMI cable, also connect the AVR-2808 and
monitor using an HDMI cable.
• If the connected monitor or DVD player only has a DVI-D connector, use an HDMI/DVI converter cable.
When using a DVI cable, no audio signals are transmitted.
• Use a Deep Color compatible cable for connection to Deep Color compatible devices.
When connecting with an HDMI/DVI converter cable (adapter)
• HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI format.
When connecting to a monitor, etc., equipped with a DVI-D connector, connection is possible using an
HDMI/DVI converter cable, but depending on the combination of components in some cases the video
signals will not be output.
• When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video signals may not be output properly
due to poor connections with the connected cable, etc.
Getting StartedSetup Playback Remote Control Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting
Connections
• By default, the HDMI audio signals are output from the speakers connected to the AVR-2808.
• To output the sound from the TV, make the settings at menu “Manual Setup” – “HDMI Setup” – “HDMI

Getting Started ConnectionsPlayback Remote Control Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting
• Audyssey MultEQ® XT automatically measures the acoustical
problems in the listening environment to create the best audio
experience for your home theater.
• It optimizes a large listening area where one or more listeners are
seated.
Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone
(DM-A405) successively at multiple positions throughout the
listening area as shown in Exampleq. For best results, it is
strongly recommended to measure 6 or more positions so that the
measurements have the proper spatial weighting.
Even if the listening environment is small as shown in Examplew,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more effective correction.
Example qExample w
( :Measuring positions)
About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the most central position where
one would normally sit within the listening environment.
MultEQ XT uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value
for the subwoofer.
To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 26, 27.

with the microphone pointing directly up towards the
ceiling.
Setup
microphone
b It is not recommended to hold it in your hand. Be sure that the
path from microphone to the speakers is not blocked by objects.
Avoid placing the microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound
reflections may give inaccurate results.
When using a subwoofer, make the following settings before starting
the auto setup procedure:
• Defeat the volume and crossover controls if possible
• If this is not possible then set
•
Volume: “12 o’clock” position
•
Crossover frequency: “Maximum/Highest Frequency”
•
Low pass filter: “Off”
•
Standby mode: “Off”
NOTE
• Do not disconnect the setup microphone until the auto setup
procedure is completed.
• When using headphones, unplug the headphones before starting
the auto setup procedure.

Auto Setup
Optimize settings for speakers in use.
F Menu screen F
Setup
a Start Menu
The settings are performed automatically.
Start
Start Auto Setup.
The Audyssey MultEQ XT Auto Setup process automatically calculates
the size, level, distance, bass management crossover frequency, and
optimal settings for each speaker and subwoofer. Audyssey MultEQ
XT corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.
Before starting, connect and position all your speakers.
Once started, MultEQ XT will play a series of test tones through each
speaker.
Step 1 : Speaker Detection
The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the fi rst
measurement position. The following attributes are also determined
at this time: “Speaker Size”, “Speaker Distance”, “Channel Level”,
“Crossover Frequency”.
Once the measurements are completed, the results are displayed.
NOTE
• Loud test tone may be played during Audyssey MultEQ XT Automatic
Speaker Setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background
noise in room, these test tones will increase in volume.
• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow
obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This
will cause inaccurate readings.
• Quiet the listening environment before beginning measurements and
refrain from talking. Turn off air conditioning units or other devices
that emit noise if at all possible as measurements may be affected
by these sounds.
• Operating the MASTER VOLUME knob on the main unit or the VOL +/– buttons on the remote control unit during the measurements will
cancel the measurements.
• Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after
“Step 1”.
Step 2 : Measurement
After completing a measurement position, move the microphone to
the next position.
Step 3 : Calculation
When “Calculate” is selected at “Step 2”, the measurements taken
are analyzed automatically to determine how the speaker system
interacts with the room.
The time required for this analysis depends on the number of speakers
connected. The higher the number of speakers, the longer the time
required for analysis.
Step 4 : Check
Once the auto setup procedure is complete, a measuring result check
screen appears.
Select any item whose results you want to check to review the
results.
Values that are different from the actual distance may be set for
speakers with built-in fi lters (subwoofers, etc.). This is because fi lters
add electrical delay to the signal that should be compensated.
Step 5 : Store
The auto setup measurement results are stored in the AVR-2808.
NOTE
Do not turn the power off while the settings are being stored.
If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error
Messages”, take the advised action, then start the measurements
again (vpage 25).

About the RESTORER function
• Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media
Audio) and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating
signal components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The
RESTORER function generates the signals eliminated upon
compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those of the
original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of
volume of the bass to obtain richer sound with compressed audio
signals.
• This is displayed on the menu and can be set when the analog
signals (including AM/FM signals) or PCM signals (fs = 44.1/48
kHz) are input.

About Speaker Installation
Surround back speakers
Number of surround back speakers
We recommend using 2 speakers.
When using dipolar speakers in particular, be sure to use 2 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.
ENGLISH
w Setting for primarily watching movies using diffusion type
speakers for the surround speakers
For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse
radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide
a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating
speaker (monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the
prime listening position, mounted above ear level.
Path of the surround sound from the
speakers to the listening position
Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Multi-ZoneTroubleshooting
Sound positioning 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.

The AVR-2808 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.
Information
Dolby Surround
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital signal format developed by Dolby
Laboratories.
A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels (“FL” , “FR” and
“C”), 2 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.
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal format that is
compatible with up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound and also
improves sound quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance. It
is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby Digital, so it offers
greater flexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions
of the playback equipment.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories, using lossless coding technology to faithfully reproduce
the sound of the studio master.
This format is compatible with a maximum sampling frequency of 96
kHz and up to 7.1-channels, so it is used for applications particularly
prioritizing sound quality.
Dolby Pro Logic g
Dolby Pro Logic g 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)
H
to create a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich sense of
presence for all stereo sources.
DTS Surround
DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround is the standard digital surround format of DTS,
Inc., compatible with a sampling frequency of 44.1 or 48 kHz and up
to 5.1-channels of digital discrete surround sound.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is an improved version of the
conventional DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 signals formats, compatible
with sampling frequencies of 96 or 48 kHz and up to 7.1-channels
of discrete digital sound. High data bit rate performance provides
high quality sound. This format is fully compatible with conventional
products, including conventional DTS digital surround 5.1-channel
data.
DTS-HD Master Audio
Dolby Pro Logic gx
Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic
g matrix decoding technology.
Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural
sound with up to 7.1-channels.
There are 3 modes: “Music” suited for playing music, “Cinema”
suited for playing movies, and “Game” which is optimized for playing
games.
b Sources recorded in Dolby Surround
Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the following
logo marks.

DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 is a digital audio format enabling high sound quality
playback in 5.1-channels with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz and 24
bit quantization on DVD-Video.
DENON has further developed its proprietary AL24 Processing, an
analog waveform reproduction technology, to support the 192-kHz
sampling frequency of DVD-Audio. AL24 Processing Plus, thoroughly
suppresses quantization noise associated with D/A conversion of
LPCM signals to reproduce the low-level signals with optimum clarity
that will bring out all the delicate nuances of the music.
Equipped foe not only front left and right channels but also for the
surround left and right, center and subwoofer channels.
ENGLISH
Lip Sync
Because consumer electronics devices are using increasingly
complex digital signal processing to enhance the clarity and detail of
the content, synchronization of video and audio in user devices has
become a greater challenge and could potentially require complex enduser adjustments. HDMI 1.3 incorporates an automatic video/audio
synching capability that allows devices to perform this synchronization
automatically with total accuracy.
