Cautions on Handling

• Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are

no problems with the connection cables.

•

Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

• About condensation

If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of

the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate properly.

If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power

turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature before using the unit.

• Cautions on using mobile phones

Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move

the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

• Moving the unit

Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power

outlet.

Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before

moving the unit.

•

Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the actual unit for explanation purposes.

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-3808, and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.

Connections

Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from

the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.

Turn the speaker terminal

counterclockwise to loosen it.

Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to

the hilt into the speaker terminal.

Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to

tighten it.

NOTE

• Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. When using surround 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.

Bitstream

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-3808 is HDCP-compatible. For details on the DVD player or monitor you are using, refer to its operating instructions.

Discs

ENGLISH

NOTE

• Use a CPPM-compatible DVD player to play DVD-Audio discs that are copyright-protected by CPPM.

• The AVR-3808 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 GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “HDMI Setup” – “Audio” setting (vpage 30) 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.

A broadband line connection to the Internet is required in order to use the AVR-3808’s Internet radio function and ﬁrmware update.

n Modem

This is a device that is connected to the broadband line to communicate with the Internet. Some are integrated with the router.

n Router

When using the AVR-3808, we recommend you use a router

equipped with the following functions:

• Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol) server This function automatically assigns IP addresses on the LAN.

• Built-in 100BASE-TX switch When connecting multiple devices, we recommend a switching

hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.

n Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)

• The AVR-3808 does not come with an Ethernet cable.

• Some ﬂat type Ethernet cables are easily affected by noise. We recommend using a normal type cable.

• For the Ethernet cable, used a shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. Do not use an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, as it may exceed

noise standard limits.

n Computer

A computer with the following speciﬁcations is required to use a music server:

• OS Windows® XP Service Pack2, Windows Vista

• Software (Prepare one of the following.)

· .NET Framework 1.1 and Windows Media Connect (Windows XP)

· Windows Media Player ver.11

· DLNA-compatible server software

• Internet browser Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or later

• LAN port

• 300 MB or more free disk space b Free disk space is required to store music ﬁles. The following

sizes are approximate.

For connections to the Internet, contact an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or a computer shop.

NOTE

• A contract with an ISP is required to connect to the Internet. No additional contract is needed if you already have a broadband

connection to the Internet.

• The types of routers that can be used depend on the ISP. Contact an ISP or a computer shop for details.

• Depending on the server, video ﬁles may be displayed, but they cannot be played on the AVR-3808.

n Others

• If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network

settings are made manually, make the settings at GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Network Setup” (vpage 32, 33).

• With the AVR-3808, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP

functions to make the network settings automatically.

• When using a broadband router (DHCP function), the AVR-3808

sets the IP address, etc., automatically.

When using the AVR-3808 connected to a network with no DHCP

function, make the settings for the IP address, etc., at GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Network Setup” (vpage 32, 33).

• The AVR-3808 is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-compatible

router is required if you have a contract for a line of the type with which the PPPoE is set.

• Depending on the ISP with which you have your contract, it may

be necessary to make proxy server settings to use the Internet radio function. If you made proxy server settings on the computer to connect to the Internet, make the proxy server settings on the AVR-3808 in the same way.

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 page 28, 29.

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.

The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the ﬁrst 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 “STEP1”.

STEP2: Measurement

After completing a measurement position, move the microphone to the next position.

Measure at least 6 positions (main listening position and at least 5 other surrounding positions). For best results it is recommend measuring 6

or more positions (with a maximum of 8 positions).

STEP3: Calculation

When “Calculate” is selected at “STEP2”, 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.

STEP4: 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 ﬁlters (subwoofers, etc.). This is because ﬁlters add electrical delay to the signal that should be compensated.

STEP5: Store

The auto setup measurement results are stored in the AVR-3808.

NOTE

Do not turn the power off while the settings are being stored.

If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error Messages” (vpage 27), take the advised action, then start the measurements again.
