FEATURES
• 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 STANDBY 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.
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, 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 Ultra2 Certified
Home THX is the unique collaboration between Lucasfilm Ltd. and
audio equipment manufacturers. THX Ultra2 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.
In addition to improvements to the power amplifier with respect
to previous THX Ultra standards, two surround modes have been
added: the THX Ultra2 Cinema mode and the THX Music mode.
5. THX Surround EX
The AVR-5803 is fully compatible with THX Surround EX, the latest
surround format.
6. DTS-ES Extended Surround and DTS Neo:6
The AVR-5803 is compatible with DTS-ES Extended Surround, a new
multi-channel format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc.
The AVR-5803 is also compatible with DTS Neo:6, a surround mode
allowing 6.1-channel playback of regular stereo sources.
7. DTS 96/24 compatibility
The AVR-5803 is compatible with sources recorded in DTS 96/24, a
new multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater
Systems Inc.
DTS 96/24 sources can be played in the multi-channel mode on the
AVR-5803 with high sound quality of 96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2 kHz/24 bits.
8. Dolby Pro Logic II decoder
Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing multichannel audio
signals that offers improvements over conventional Dolby Pro
Logic. It can be used to decode not only sources recorded in
Dolby Surround but also regular stereo sources into five channels
(front left/right, center and surround left/right). In addition, various
parameters can be set according to the type of source and the
contents, so you can adjust the sound field with greater precision.
9. Wide screen mode for a 7.1-channel sound even with
5.1-channel sources
DENON has developed a wide screen mode with a new design
which recreates the effects of the multi surround speakers in
movie theaters. The result is 7.1-channel sound taking full
advantage of surround back speakers, even with Dolby Pro Logic
or Dolby Digital/DTS 5.1-channel signals.
10.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-5803 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.
11.Multi-zone control
The AVR-5803 is equipped with two sets of multi-zone outputs
allowing a source other than the one currently being played to be
selected.
(1) Multi-zone 1
These are level adjustable pre-outputs. (A fixed output level
can also be selected.)
The video signals of the input source selected with the multizone 1 selector are output.
(2) Multi-zone 2
When set at the System Setup Menu, the power amplifier for
the surround back channel can be used as the multi-zone 2
power amplifier and speakers can be connected to the multizone 2 speaker terminals for playback.
12.Component Video Switching
The AVR-5803 provides 3 sets of component video (Y, R-Y, B-Y)
inputs for the DVD, TV and DBS/SAT inputs, and one set of
component video outputs to the television, for superior picture
quality.
The AVR-5803 is also equipped with a function for up-converting
composite video or S-Video signals to component video signals.
13.Video Select Function
Allow you to watch one source (visual) while listening to another
source (audio).
6
14.Seven 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 170 watts into 8 Ω/ohms, the
amp channels feature additional low impedance drive capability.
15.Future Sound Format Upgrade Capability via Eight Channel
Inputs & Outputs
For future multi-channel audio format(s), the AVR-5803 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.
A/D converters are provided for each channel for digital downmixing compatibility.
16.Dolby Headphone Compatibility
This is a three-dimensional sound technology developed jointly by
Dolby Laboratories and Lake Technology Ltd. of Australia for
achieving surround sound using regular headphones.
17.DENON Link
This terminal can be used to connect a Denon DVD player for high
quality digital multichannel playback.
18.Auto Surround Mode
This function stores the surround mode last used for an input
signal in the memory and automatically sets that surround mode
the next time that signal is input.
19.Audio Delay
This is a function for delaying the audio signal with respect to the
video signal. (0 to 200 msec)
20.Setup Lock
This is a function that locks the system setup and surround
parameter settings, etc., so that they cannot be changed.

Connecting a video component equipped with S-Video jacks
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
• A note on the S input jacks
The input selectors for the S inputs and pin jack inputs work in conjunction with each other.
• Precaution when using S-jacks
This unit’s S-jacks (input and output) and video pin jacks (input and output) have independent circuit structures, so that video signals input from
the S-jacks are only output from the S-jack outputs and video signals input from the pin jacks are only output from the pin jack outputs.
When connecting this unit with equipment that is equipped with S-jacks, keep the above point in mind and make connections according to the
equipment’s instruction manuals.

MONITOR OUT jacks
The AVR-5803 is equipped with a function for up-converting video signals.
Because of this, the AVR-5803’s MONITOR OUT jack can be connected to the monitor (TV) with a single cable offering a higher quality connection,
regardless of how the player and the AVR-5803’s video input jacks are connected.
Generally speaking, connections using the component video jacks offer the highest quality playback, followed by connections using the S-Video
jacks, then connections using the regular video jacks (yellow).
If the AVR-5803’s MONITOR OUT jack is not connected to the monitor (TV) using the component video jacks, connect the player to the AVR5803’s video input jacks using either the video jacks (yellow) or the S-Video jacks. The video signals will not be output if the player and the
AVR-5803 are only connected with the component video jacks.

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.
Speaker Impedance
• Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be
connected for use as front and center speakers.
• 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.
NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.
Doing so could result in electric shocks.
Connecting the speaker cords
1. Loosen by turning
counterclockwise.
2. Insert the cord. 3. Tighten by turning
clockwise.
Either tightly twist or terminate the core wires.
Connecting banana plugs
Turn clockwise to tighten, then insert the
banana plug.
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.
Cooling fan
• The AVR-5803 is equipped with a cooling fan to prevent the temperature inside the set from rising. The fan is activated
under certain usage conditions. It is temperature and volume level sensitive, to minimize or prevent audible fan noise.

Input the combination of speakers in your system and their
corresponding sizes (Small for regular speakers, Large for full-size,
full-range) to automatically set the composition of the signals output
from the speakers and the frequency response.
Use this function when using multiple surround speaker
combinations for more ideal surround sound. Once the
combinations of surround speakers to be used for the
different surround modes are preset, the surround
speakers are selected automatically according to the
surround mode.
Set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of the various
speakers is to be output from the subwoofer.
Set whether or not to lock the system setup settings so that they
cannot be changed.
This adjusts the volume of the signals output from the speakers and
subwoofer for the different channels in order to obtain optimum
effects.
This parameter is for detecting the maximum level of the low bass
signals output from the subwoofer channel in order to protect the
subwoofer from damage and prevent unpleasant distorted sounds
from being produced.
This assigns the digital input jacks for the different input
sources.
This sets whether or not to display the on-screen display that
appears on the monitor screen when the controls on the remote
control unit or main unit are operated (from MONITOR 1 outputs

• Speaker system layout
Basic system layout (For a THX Surround EX system)
• The following is an example of the basic layout for a system consisting of eight speaker systems and a television monitor:
Two surround back speakers are required to use the THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music modes.
Set the surround back speakers so that the distance to the listening point is the same for both the left and right speakers. It is also recommended
that the deviations of the distance from the listening position to L and R channel speakers (front left (FL) and front right (FR), surround left (SL)
and surround right (SR), surround back left (SBL) and surround back right (SBR)) is less than 2 ft (60 cm).

• Surround speaker selector function
This function makes it possible to achieve the optimum sound fields for different sources by switching between two systems of surround
speakers (A and B). The settings of the different speakers (A only, B only or A+B) are stored in the memory for the different surround modes,
so they are set automatically when the surround mode is selected.

NOTES:
• 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-5803’s S-Video and video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-
5803 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 SVIDEO input jack. (For details, see page 37.)
• The AVR-5803’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.
With the AVR-5803 it is also possible to use the surround speaker selector function to choose the best layout for a variety of sources and surround
modes.

d) If “None” is set for surround speakers A:
“None” is automatically set for surround speakers B and surround back speaker.
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
(bass sound below frequency set for the Crossover Frequency mode 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 “Ye s ” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when a subwoofer is not installed.
2spkrs/1spkr.....Select the number of speakers to be used for the surround back channel.
If 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.
To 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 “Ye s”.
For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the SMALL setting for all five main speakers and Subwoofer On with a connected
subwoofer will yield the best results.
When “Front” is set to “Small”, “Subwoofer” is automatically set to “Ye s ”, and when “Subwoofer” is set to “No”, “Front” is automatically
set to “Large”.

Crossover frequency
• Set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of each main speakers is to output from the subwoofer or from speakers which are set to
“Large” (when not using a subwoofer) (crossover frequency).
• For speakers set to “Small”, sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and instead the cut bass sound is output from the
subwoofer or speakers which are set to “Large”.
• This crossover frequency mode is valid when “Subwoofer” is set to “Ye s” at “Speaker Configuration Setting” or when speakers are set to
“Small”.
FIXED –THX–:
Set to the THX rated 80 Hz crossover frequency.
VARIABLE 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 Hz:
Set as desired according to your speakers’ bass playback ability.
NOTES:
• The crossover frequency is set to 80 Hz in the HOME THX CINEMA mode.
• We recommend using with the crossover frequency set to “FIXED –THX–”, but depending on the speaker, setting it to a different frequency
may improve frequency response near the crossover frequency.
Setting the Subwoofer mode
1
Select the subwoofer mode.
2
Enter the setting.
The System Setup Menu reappears.
NOTES:
— Assignment of low frequency signal range —
• The only signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS signals) and the low
frequency signal range of channels set to “Small” in the setup menu. The low frequency signal range of channels set to “Large” are
produced from those channels.
— Subwoofer mode —
• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when “Large” is set for the front speakers and “Ye s” is set for the subwoofer in the “Speaker
Configuration” settings (see page 20).
• When the “LFE+Main” playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to “Large” are produced simultaneously
from those channels and the subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room,
interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range.
• Selection of the “LFE - THX” play mode will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected with “Large” from that channel
only. Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are played from the subwoofer channel are only the low frequency signal range of LFE
(only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal playback) and the channel specified as “Small” in the setup menu. THX is recommended in this play
mode so that bass interference is less likely to occur in the room.
• Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with body.
Select the setting.
23
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.
• Two surround back speakers are required to use the THX Ultra2 Cinema and THX Music modes.
Set the surround back speakers so that the distance to the listening point is the same for both the left and right speakers.
It is also recommended that the deviations of the distance from the listening position to L and R channel speakers (front left (FL) and front right
(FR), surround left (SL) and surround right (SR), surround back left (SBL) and surround back right (SBR)) is less than 2 ft (60 cm).
Preparations:

Press jog stick “ENTER” again to return to the System Setup Menu screen.
To cancel the settings, select “Level Clear” and “Ye s” on the “Channel Level” screen, then make the settings again.
The level of each channel should be adjusted to 75 dB (C-weighted, slow meter mode) on a sound level meter at the listening position.
If a sound level meter is not available adjust the channels by ear so the sound levels are the same. Because adjusting the subwoofer level test
tone by ear is difficult, use a well known music selection and adjust for natural balance.
NOTE: When adjusting the level of an active subwoofer system, you may also need to adjust the subwoofer’s own volume control.
When you adjust the channel levels while in the SYSTEM SETUP CHANNEL LEVEL mode, the channel level adjustments made will affect
ALL surround modes. Consider this mode a Master Channel Level adjustment mode.
After you have completed the SYSTEM SETUP CHANNEL LEVEL adjustments, you can then activate the individual surround modes and
adjust channel levels that will be remembered for each of those modes. Then, whenever you activate a particular surround sound mode,
your preferred channel level adjustments for just that mode will be recalled. Check the instructions for adjusting channel levels within each
surround mode on page 48.
You can adjust the channel levels for each of the following surround modes: DIRECT, STEREO, 5CH/7CH STEREO, DOLBY/DTS SURROUND,
HOME THX CINEMA, WIDE SCREEN, SUPER STADIUM, ROCK ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, CLASSIC CONCERT, MONO MOVIE, and MATRIX.
When using either surround speakers A or B, or when using surround speakers A and B at the same time, be sure to adjust the balance of
playback levels between each channel for the various selections of “A or B” and “A and B”.
