1 BEFORE USING

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

•Moving the set

To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in the connection cords, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the connection cords between all other audio components when moving the set.

•Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are proper and that there are not problems with the connection cords. Always set the power switch to the standby position before connecting and disconnecting connection cords.

2 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this unit or any other electronic equipment using microprocessors is used near a tuner or TV.

If this happens, take the following steps:

•Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV.

•Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit’s power cord and input/output connection cords.

•Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor antennas or 300 Ω /ohms feeder wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75 Ω /ohms coaxial cables.

For heat dispersal, leave at least 10 cm of space between the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other components.

3CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

•Switching the input function when input jacks are not connected

A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components to the input jacks.

•Muting of PRE OUT jacks and SPEAKER terminals

The PRE OUT jacks and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced for several seconds after the power switch is turned on or input function, surround mode or 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 before adjusting the volume.

•Whenever the power switch is in the OFF state, the apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage.

Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation.

•Opening and closing the door

This unit has a door on the front panel.

Lightly press on the bottom of the door to open it.

4FEATURES

1.Digital Surround Sound Decoding

Featuring dual 32 bit high speed DSP processors, operating entirely in digital domain, surround sound from digital sources such as DVD, LD, DTV and satellite are faithfully re-created.

2.Dolby Digital

Using advanced digital processing algorithms, Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround sound. Dolby Digital is the default digital audio delivery system for North American DVD and DTV, and is available on laser discs as well as some digital satellite direct-to-home services.

3.DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround sound, from sources such as laser disc, DVD and specially-encoded music discs.

4.Lucasfilm Home THX Ultra Certified

Home THX is the unique collaboration between Lucasfilm Ltd. and audio equipment manufacturers. THX Ultra certification is the highest performance level, and provides a rigorous set of performance standards, along with proprietary surround sound post-processing technologies, designed to enhance the surround soundtrack playback experience in the home theater.

5.24 bit D/A Conversion

All six channels, including the five main channels and the low frequency effects (LFE) channel benefit from reference BurrBrown DACs, for optimum high fidelity reproduction of music and movie soundtracks.

6.24 Bit AL Processing

A feature of DENON’s premium CD players, Alpha processing is a proprietary DSP function that provides increased definition of detail. The latest 24 bit Alpha processing technology is applied to the two main front channels (left and right) for superb reproduction of high fidelity music sources.

7.Dual Surround Speaker Mode

Provides for the first time the ability to optimize surround sound reproduction using two different types of surround sound speakers as well as two different surround speaker positions:

(1)Movie Surround

Motion picture soundtracks use the surround channel(s) to provide the ambient elements of the acoustic environment they want the audience to realize. This is best accomplished by the use of specially-designed surround speakers that offer a wide diffusion pattern (bipolar dispersion) or by using surround speakers that provide broad dispersion with a minimum of onaxis localization (dipolar dispersion). Side wall mounting (closer to the ceiling) of the surround speakers provides the greatest envelopment, minimizing localization of direct sound from the speakers.

(2)Music Surround

With full range discrete surround channels, as well as three discrete full range front channels, digital formats such as Dolby and DTS offer thrilling surround sound music listening. Producers of multi-channel discrete digital music recordings almost always favor the use of direct radiating (monopolar) surround speakers, placed in the rear corners of the room, since that is how they configure their studios during the mixing/creation process.

The DENON AVR-5700 provides the ability to connect two different sets of surround speakers, and place them in the appropriate locations in your home theater room, so that you can enjoy both movie soundtracks and music listening, with optimum results and no compromise.

8.Component Video Switching

In addition to composite video and “S” video switching, the AVR5700 provides 2 sets of component video (Y, R-Y, B-Y) inputs for the DVD and TV/DBS inputs, and one set of component video outputs to the television, for superior picture quality.

9.Video Select Function

Allow you to watch one source (visual) while listening to another source (audio).

• Five Identical Power Amplifiers

Featuring discrete high current power transistors, the power amp section is THX Ultra certified for top performance with the widest range of speaker systems. Rated at 140 watts into 8

Ω/ohms, the amp channels feature additional low impedance drive capability.

10.Future Sound Format Upgrade Capability via Eight Channel Inputs & Outputs

For future multi-channel audio format(s), the AVR-5700 is provided with 7.1 channel (seven main channels, plus one low frequency effects channel) inputs, along with a full set of 7.1 channel preamp outputs, controlled by the 8 channel master volume control. This assures future upgrade possibilities for any future multichannel sound format.

Speaker system connections

•Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like polarities are matched ( <with <, >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.

Speaker Impedance

•Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 Ω /ohms can be connected for use as front and center speakers.

•Be careful when using two pairs of surround speakers (A + B) at the same time, since use of speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 Ω /ohms will lead

to damage.

• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω /ohms can be connected for use as surround speakers.

•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 are connected.

•Precautions when connecting speakers

If a speaker is placed near a TV or video monitor, the colors on the screen may be disturbed by the speaker’s magnetism. If this should happen, move the speaker away to a position where it does not have this effect.

12

Protector circuit

•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 DENON service center.

Note on speaker impedance

• 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 Ω /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.

NOTES:

• The on-screen display signals are not output from the MONITOR OUT-2 output jack or the color difference (component) video signal (MONITOR OUT) jacks.

• The on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack during playback of a video component. For example, if the TV monitor is connected to both the AVR-5700’s S-Video and video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-5700 from a video source (VDP, etc.) connected to both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-Video monitor output. If you wish to output the signals to the video monitor output jack, do not connect a cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 27.)

• The AVR-5700’s on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may be difficult to read small characters on TVs with small screens or low resolutions.

• The setup menu is not displayed when headphones are being used.

•Speaker system layout

Basic system layout

• The following is an example of the basic layout for a system consisting of six speaker systems and a television monitor:

With the AVR-5700 it is also possible to use the surround speaker selector function to choose the best layout for a variety of sources and surround modes.

•Surround speaker selector function

This function uses either or both of two systems of surround speakers (A and B) to achieve the optimum sound field for different sources. The speaker settings (on or off for A only, B only or A+B) are stored in the memory for the different surround modes and are recalled automatically when that surround mode is set.

		The surround speaker setting screen appears.

c)If “None” is set for surround speakers A:

“None” is automatically set for surround speakers B.

NOTE:

•Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the actual size of the speaker but according to the speaker’s capacity for playing low frequency (approximately 80 Hz and below) signals. If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the speakers) to determine the proper setting.

•Parameters

Large…… Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz.

Small…… Select this when using speakers that cannot reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz with sufficient volume. When this setting is selected, low frequencies of below 80 Hz are assigned to the subwoofer.

None…… Select this when no speakers are installed.

Yes/No… Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when a subwoofer is not installed.

2If the subwoofer has sufficient low frequency playback capacity, good sound can be achieved even when “Small” is set for the front, center and surround speakers.

2To take full advantage of the performance of the Home THX certified speaker systems, set the front, center and surround speaker size parameters to “Small” and the subwoofer to “Yes”.

2For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the SMALL setting for all five main speakers and Subwooofer On with a connected subwoofer will yield the best results.

Playback modes

Subwoofer Only THX (recommended THX mode)

The LFE and the low frequencies (80 Hz or lower) of the channels set to “Small” at the Speaker Configuration screen are output from the subwoofer.

When a channel is set to “Large”, the low frequencies are output from that channel and not from the subwoofer.

Front & Subwoofer:

Even if “Large” is set for the front speakers at the Speaker Configuration screen, the LFE and the low frequencies of the front channels as well as the low frequencies of the other channels are output from the subwoofer. The front speakers (left and right, but not the center) also output deep bass. This mode is provided for those with large, floor-standing tower speakers that have full range (20 Hz and up) response, and are using a subwoofer in the system as well.

NOTE:

•To play in the Front & Subwoofer mode, set the front speakers to “Large” and the subwoofer to “Yes” at the Speaker Configuration screen.

Setting the delay time

•Input the distance between the listening position and the different speakers to set the delay time for the surround mode.

•The delay time can be set separately for surround speakers A and B.

Preparations:
