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.

•

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-4310CI, and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.

Peel off about 0.03 ft/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.

About Bi-amp Connections

These connections make for higher quality playback sound with no interference between the signals of the bass and treble units. When the “Amp Assign” setting (vpage 34) is “Bi-Amp”, connect as follows.

Front speakers

AVR-4310CI

For connections of the SURR. BACK/AMP ASSIGN speaker terminals, see “Set the “Amp Assign”

Mode According to the Speaker Layout” (vpage 12).

Protection Circuit

If the core wires touch the rear panel and the screws etc., or the ± sides touch each other, the protection circuit will be activated and the power indicator will ﬂash red at intervals of 0.5 secs. If the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is isolated, and the power supply goes to the standby state. If the power supply is turned off, after the power supply cord is withdrawn, please conﬁrm that speaker cable and input cable are connected. Also, if replaying large sound levels by using a speaker having an impedance less than that speciﬁed (eg, 4 Ω/ohms), the temperature will rise, and the protection circuit might be activated. The power supply will go into the standby state, and the power indicator will ﬂash red at 2 second intervals.

In this case, please switch off the power supply, and wait until the AVR-4310CI has cooled down, and the surrounding ventilation is good. Even if there are no problems with the surrounding ventilation and connections, in the event of the protection circuit becoming activated, due to thinking that the AVR-4310CI has failed, please contact DENON Service center after switching off.



Turn the speaker terminal

clockwise to tighten it.

When using a banana plug

Tighten the speaker terminal ﬁrmly before inserting the banana plug.

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.

NOTE

Connect so that the speaker cable core wires

• do not protrude from the speaker terminal. 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.

When making a bi-amp connection, the same signal is output from the front speaker terminal and the SURR.BACK/AMP ASSIGN terminal.

NOTE

Use speakers compatible with bi-amp connections.

• When making bi-amp connections, be sure to

• remove the short-circuiting plate or wire between the speaker’s woofer and tweeter terminals.

Important Information

About HDMI

“HDMI” is the abbreviation of “High Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface”. This interface allows transfer of digital video signals and digital audio signals over a single HDMI cable.

“HDMI”, “HDMI logo” and “High-Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface” are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.

Functions Usable with HDMI Connections

Deep Color

Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors. Enables increased contrast ratio.

x.v.Color

Lets HDTVs display colors more accurately. Enables displays with natural, vivid colors. “x.v.Color” is a Sony registered trademark.

Auto Lip Sync (vpage 37)

If you connect the receiver to a TV that supports the Auto Lip Sync function, it can automatically correct delay between the audio and video.

HDMI Control Function (vpage 80)

This function allows you to operate external devices from the receiver and operate the receiver from external devices.

NOTE

These functions will not work if the device connected to the

• HDMI terminal does not support Deep Color or x.v.Color signal transfer or the Auto Lip Sync function. The HDMI control function may not work depending on the

• device it is connected to and its settings. You cannot operate a TV or Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player that

• is not compatible with the HDMI control function.

The AVR-4310CI supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection). HDCP is a copyright protection technology for digital video signals. The devices connected to the AVR-4310CI must also support HDCP.

NOTE

When a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video signals are not properly output.

Connections

The AVR-4310CI allows connection of inputs from up to 6 HDMI devices and output to 2 monitors.
