[] CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

• Switching the input function when input jacks are not connected

A clicking noise may be produced if tile input function is switched

when nothing is cennected to the input jacks. If this happens, either

turn down the MASTER VOLUME contrel er connect components te the input jacks.

• Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER

terminals

The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because ef this, the eutput signals are greatly reduced fer several secends after the power switch is

turned on or input function, surreund mode er 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 befere adjusting the velume.

Auto setup requires an optional microphone for setup use.

12.Dual Surround Speaker Mode

Provides fer the first time the ability te optimize surround sound

repreduction using two different types of surreund seund speakers as well as two different surreund speaker positk)ns:

(1) Movie Surround

Metk)n picture seundtracks use the surround channel(s) to provide the ambient elements ef the aceustic envirenment they want the audience to realize. This is best accemplished by the use ef specially-designed surreund speakers that offer a wide diffusion pattern (bipelar dispersk)n) or by using surround speakers that previde broad dispersk)n with a minimum of on- axis Iocalizatk)n (dipolar dispersion). Side wall mounting (closer to the ceiling) of the surround speakers provides the greatest envelopment, minimizing localization of direct sound frem the speakers.

(2) Music Surround

With full range discrete surreund channels, as well as three discrete full range front channels, digital fermats such as Delby and DTS offer thrilling surreund seund music listening. Preducers of multi-channel discrete digital music recordings almost always favor the use of direct radiating (monopelar) surround speakers, placed in the rear corners of the room, since that is hew they cenfigure their studios during the mixing/creation process.

The DENON AVR-3805 prevides the ability te connect two

different sets ef surround speakers, and place them in the appropriate k)cations in yeur AV theater room, so that yeu can

enjey both movie seundtracks and music listening, with optimum

results and ne compremise.

S video terminals are used to connect the AVR-3805 with a VTR, depending on the combination ef the TV and VTR the picture may flicker in the horizontal directien, be distorted, be eut ef sync or not display at all when playing video tapes.

If this happens, connect a cemmercially available video stabilizer, etc., with a TBC (time base corrector) function between the AVR-3805 and

• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like polarities are matched (® with _+_,0 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.

• 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 DEN©N service center.

• 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 _-_/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.
