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.

•

The AVR-4810CI supports up to 11.1-channel surround
sound playback by adding front height and front wide
channels to the 7.1-channel (Front/Center/Surround/
Surround Back/Subwoofer).
Installing front height and front wide speakers offers
an even wider and deeper sensation compared with
traditional surround spacing thanks to the advanced
simulation surround technology Audyssey DSX and
Dolby Pro Logic gz decoder.
To use Audyssey DSX, install front wide or front height
speakers. (Refer to page 121 for more information on
Audyssey DSX)
To use Dolby Pro Logic gz, install front height speakers.
(Refer to page 120 for more information on Dolby Pro

s Example Installation of Speakers

The AVR-4810CI supports a wide variation of surround playback such as in the example speaker installations
shown below (11.1/9.1/7.1/6.1/5.1ch). It is also possible to have speaker output in rooms other than the
room (MAIN ZONE) where the surround is playing (multi-zone playback), or to enjoy the high quality sound
of the MAIN ZONE front speakers (using bi-wiring/bi-amping). Set “Amp Assign” as appropriate for the
speaker system being used. See page 14 for more information on speaker connections.

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 making a bi-amp connection, the same signal is output from the
front speaker terminal and the “Bi-Wir. or Bi-Amp“ terminal.

NOTE

Use speakers compatible with bi-amp connections.

•
When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short-

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

In this case, please switch off the power supply, and wait until the
AVR-4810CI 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-4810CI has failed, please contact DENON

Important Information

About HDMI

n

“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

n

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 43)

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 99)

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.

Copyright Protection System (HDCP)

n

To play DVD-Video and DVD-Audio digital video and audio via the
HDMI/DVI connection, the connected Blu-ray disc player, DVD
player and monitor each need to support a copyright protection
system called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
HDCP is copyright protection technology comprised of data
encryption and authentication of the connected AV device. The AVR­4810CI supports HDCP. Please consult the operating instructions
of your Blu-ray disc player, DVD player or monitor.

NOTE

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