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.

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.

When using just one surround back speaker, connect it to the left channel (SBL).
NOTE
By default, the AVR-2808CI’s “Amp Assign” setting is set to “ZONE2”. To use as the surround back speaker
for the main zone, change the “Amp Assign” setting (vpage 31).
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-2808CI,
and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
Peel off about 0.03 ft/10 mm of sheathing
1
from 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.
When using a banana plug
Tighten the speaker terminal firmly before
inserting the banana plug.
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.
Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting
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.

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-2808CI is HDCP-compatible. For details on the
DVD player or monitor you are using, refer to its operating
instructions.
Discs
(examples)
CD, DVD-Video,
DVD-Audio
DVD-Audio
SACD
HD DVD,
Blu-ray Disc
NOTE
• Use a CPPM-compatible DVD player to play DVD-Audio discs that are copyright-protected by CPPM.
• The AVR-2808CI 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” 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-2808CI and DVD player are connected using an HDMI cable, also connect the AVR-2808CI
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.
• By default, the HDMI audio signals are output from the speakers connected to the AVR-2808CI.
• To output the sound from the TV, make the settings at menu “Manual Setup” – “HDMI Setup” – “HDMI
Audio Setup” – “TV” (vpage 27).

Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting
Auto Setup
Preparations
Connect the included setup microphone to the SETUP
1
MIC jack on the main unit.
The auto setup screen appears automatically.
• This procedure lets you measure the acoustic properties of your
speakers and listening room and make the optimum settings
automatically.
• This function provides the optimum listening environment for all
listening positions in a home theater where several people view or
listen to the video or audio source simultaneously.
The measurements are performed by moving the setup microphone
successively to the different positions where the family members
sit within the listening area surrounded by the speakers, as
shown in Example q. For better results, we recommend making
measurements in 6 or more positions.
Even if the home theater is only used by a small number of persons
as shown in Example w, measuring at points around the listening
position results in more effective correction.
Example qExample w
( :Measuring positions)
About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the center of the listening
position, or the place where you would sit to watch or listen when
alone.
This position is used as the basis when measuring the distance of
the speakers.
To set the listening environment manually to suit your tastes, see page
26, 27.
Sound
receptor
Mount the setup microphone on a camera tripod,
2
etc., and set it at the main listening position, with the
sound receptor pointing towards the ceiling.
Setup
microphone
b Adjust the height of the setup microphone’s sound receptor so
that it is at the height of the ears when listening.
When using a subwoofer with a setting function, make the following
settings before starting the auto setup procedure:
•
Volume: “Center”
•
Crossover frequency: “Maximum”
•
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.

For details, refer to “Amp Assign” (vpage 31).
Step 1 : Speaker Detection
The speaker connection status and the speaker polarities are detected at
the main listening position. At this time, the listening environment with
respect to the main listening position (“Speaker size check”, “Distance
correction”, “Channel level adjustment”, “Crossover frequency check”
and “Room EQ correction”) is measured automatically at the main
listening position.
Once the measurements are completed, the results of the speaker
connection are displayed.
NOTE
• Loud test tones are output during the measurements. Be careful
when measuring at night or when there are small children nearby.
• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow
obstacles between them while the measurements are being made.
Obstacles will make it impossible to measure correctly.
• Keep as quiet as possible during measurements. Loud sounds in the
area will make it impossible to measure correctly.
• 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 : Measurements
The listening environment with respect to the listening position
(“Speaker size check”, “Crossover Frequency check” and “Room EQ
correction”) is measured automatically at positions 2 to 8.
Once a measurement is made, move the setup microphone to the
next position.
Measure a total of at least 6 positions (main listening position and at
least 5 other surrounding positions). Measurements can be completed
even if only taken in 5 positions, but for better results we recommend
taking them in 6 or more positions. (Measurements can be taken in
a maximum of 8 positions.)
Step 3 : Calculation
When “Calculate” is selected at “Step 2”, the speaker system is
analyzed automatically.
The time required for this analysis depends on the number of speakers
connected. The more the number of speakers, the longer the time
required for analysis.
Step 4 : Check
Once the auto setup procedure is completed, a measuring result
checking screen appears.
Select any item whose measuring results you want to check and check
the results.
Values that are different from the actual distance may be set for
speakers with built-in fi lters (subwoofers, etc.).
Step 5 : Store
The auto setup measurement results are stored.
NOTE
Do not turn the power off while the settings are being stored in the
memory.

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 input source
is selected to “XM”, or 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.
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
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.

Surround
The AVR-2808CI 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.
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

HDMI
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a digital interface standard for next generation TVs based
on DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standards and optimized for use in
consumer equipment.
Non-compressed digital video and multi-channel audio signals are
transmitted with a single connection.
HDMI is also compatible with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection), a technology for protecting copyrights that encrypts digital
video signals in the same was as with DVI.
Deep Color
Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and
subtle gradations between colors.
Enables increased contrast ratio.
Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and
white.
At 30-bit pixel depth, a four times improvement would be the minimum,
and the typical improvement would be eight times or more.
xvYCC
Next-generation “xvYCC” color space supports 1.8 times as many
colors as existing HDTV signals.
Lets HDTVs display colors more accurately.
Enables displays with natural, vivid colors.
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.
