Noise or disturbance of the picture may be

generated if this unit or any other electrenic
equipment using microprocessers is used near

a tuner er TV.

If this happens, take the fellowing steps:

• Install this unit as far away as pessible
from the tuner er TV.

• Run the antenna wires from the tuner or

TV away from this unit's power supply cord
and input/eutput connection cables.

• Noise or disturbance tends to occur

particularly when using indeor antennas or
300 _/ohm feeder wires. We recommend

using outdoor antennas and 75 _/ohm
coaxial cables,

Note:

For heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a confined space such as a bookcase or similar

enclosure,

• Switching the input source when input terminals are not connected,
A clicking noise may be produced if the input source is switched when nething is connected to
the input terminals. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control knob or

cennect compenents to the input terminals.

• Muting of PRE OUT terminals, PHONES jack and SPEAKER terminals.

The PRE OUT terminals, PHONES jack and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because

ef this, the output signals are greatly attenuated fer several seconds after the power switch is
turned on or the input seurce, surround mode or any ether set-up is changed. If the volume is
turned up during this time, the eutput will be very high after the muting circuit stops functioning.
Always wait until the muting circuit turns eff before adjusting the w)lume.

i Note

• Whenever the power switch is in the STANDBY state, the unit is still connected to AC line

voltage.

Please be sure to turn off the power switch or unplug the cord when you leave home for,

say, a vacation.

The included remote control unit (RC-1003) can be used to operate net only the AVR-786 but other

remete control compatible DENON components as well, In addition, the memory centains centrol
signals fer other remote control units, se it can be used to operate nen-DENON remote centrol
compatible products.

Easy Setup and Operation

• Basic system layout

The following is an example ef the basic layout fer a system censisting of eight speaker systems
and a televisien meniter:

Center speaker system

Surround back speaker systems

r

Front speaker systems

Set these at the sides ef the TV
er screen with their front surfaces

as flush with the front of the
screen as possible.

Surround speaker systems

o Cennect the speaker terminals with the

speakers making sure that like pelarities are
matched (@ with @, _ with _). Mismatching
ef polarities will result in weak central sound,

unclear orientation of the various instruments,
and the stereo image being impaired.

"When making connections, take care that

none of the individual conductors ef the speaker
cable come in contact with adjacent terminals,

with other speaker cable conductors, er with

the rear panel.

NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals

when the power is on. Doing so could

result in electric shocks,

• Speakerimpedance

,'When speaker systems A and B are used

separately, speakers with an impedance of 6
to 16 _/ohms can be cennected for use as
front speakers.

• Be careful when using twe pairs of frent
speakers (A + B) at the same time, since
speakers with an impedance of 12 te 16
_/ohms in this case must be used.

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

• The pretector circuit may be activated if the
unit is operated for leng perieds of time at
high w)lumes when speakers with an
impedance lewer than the specified
impedance are connected.

The pretecter circuit may be activated if the
unit is operated for long periods ef time at
high w)lumes when speakers with an
impedance lower than the specified
impedance (for example speakers with an
impedance ef less than 4 _/ehms) are
connected. If the pretecter circuit is
activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn
eff the unit's power, wait fer the unit te ceel
down, improve the ventilation areund the
unit, then turn the power back en.

1. Loosen by turning ._
ceuntercleckwise.

2. Insert the cable.

3. Tighten by turning __

Banana plug

TgrhlteCln°t kh:irs:1_: rt <_:_
the banana plug.

This uni_ is equipped wi_h a high-speed
pretection circuit. The purpose of this circuit
is to pretect the speakers under circumstances
such as when the output of the power
amplifier is inadvertently shert-circuited and
a large current flews, when the temperature
surrounding the unit becomes unusually
high, er when the unit is used at high output
ever a leng peried which results in an
extreme temperature rise.

When the pretectien circuit is activated, the

speaker output is cut off and the power
supply indicater flashes. Should this eccur,
please fellew 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 fer

the unit to cool down if it is very het.

Improve the ventilation condition around the
unit and switch the power back en.
If the protection circuit is activated again
even though there are no problems with the
wiring or the ventilation areund the unit,
switch off the power and contact a DENON

When the component vide() terminals are used to connect the

with a VTR, depending on the combination of the TV and VTR
the picture may flicker in the horizontal direction, be distorted,
be out of sync not display at all when playing video tapes.

If this happens, connect a commercially available vide()

DTS NEd:6 Mode:

• Cinema:
This mode is eptimum for playing movies. Decoding is

performed with emphasis on separatien performance to
achieve the same atmesphere with 2-channel seurces as with

6.1-channel seurces.
This mode is effective fer playing seurces recorded in

conventional surreund fermats as well, because the in-phase
component isassigned mainly te the center channel (C) and the

reversed phase compenent to the surreund (SL, SR and SB
channels).

• Music:
This mede is suited mainly fer playing music. The front channel
(FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly

so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect ef the
surround signals output from the center (C) and surround (SL,
SR and SB) channels add a natural sense of expansien to the

sound field.

CENTER IMAGE (0.0 to 1.0: default 0.3):

The center image parameter for adjusting the expansion of the

CINEMA EQ, (Cinema Equalizer):

The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the
extreme high frequencies, compensating for overly-bright
sounding motion picture soundtracks. Select this function if the
sound from the front speakers is too bright.
This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic ]][x, Dolby
Digital, DTS Surround and DTS NEO:6 modes. (The same
contents are set for all operating modes.)

D.COMR (Dynamic Range Compression):

Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range
(the contrast between very soft and very loud sounds). For
listening late at night, or whenever the maximum sound level is
lower than usual, the Dynamic Range ComFession allows you
to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack (but with reduced
dynamic range). (This only works when playing program
sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS). Select one of the
four parameters ("OFF", "LOW", "MID" (middle) or "HI"
(high)). Set to OFF for normal listening.

LFE (Low Frequency Effect):

This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) sounds
included in the source when playing program sources recorded
in Delby Digital or DTS.
If the sound produced from the subwoofer sounds distorted
due to the LFE signals when playing Dolby Digital or DTS
sources when the peak limiter is turned off with the subwoofer
peak limit level setting (system setup menu), adjust the level as

necessary.
Program source and adjustment range:

1. DolbyDigital: -10dBto0dB

2. DTS Surround: -10 dB to 0 dB

÷ When DTS encoded movie software is played, it is

recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for

correct DTS playback.

÷ When DTS encoded music software is played, it is

recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to -10 dB for

correct DTS playback,

This unit is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Precessor) wMch uses digital signal processing to synthetically
recreate the sound field. One of 7 preset surround modes can be selected according to the program seurce and the parameters can
be adjusted according to the conditions in the listening room te achieve a more realistic, powerful sound.

The front left channel signals are output to the surround and surreund back left channels, the front right

1 channel signals are output te the surround and surround back right channels, and the in-phase component

of the left and right channels is output te the center channel. Use this mode to enjoy stereo sound.

2 Select this when watching monaural mevies for a greater sense of expansion.

Basic Operation

5 Use this te enjoy video game sources.

÷ Depending on the program source being played, the effect may net be very noticeable.

In this case, try other surround medes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes.

NOTE:When playing sources recerded in menaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to ene channel (left er right),

so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.)
obtain a "Y" adapter cable to split the meno output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.

Use this mode to achieve the feeling ef a live concert in an arena with reflected sounds coming frem all
directions.

This mode creates the sound field of a live house with a low ceiling and hard walls. This mode gives jazz
a very vivid realism.

Select this to emphasize the sense ef expansion for music sources recorded in stere<>. Signals consisting
of the component difference of the input signals (the component that provides the sense ef expansien)

srocessed for delay are output from the surround channel.

Select this mode to enjey a virtual sound field, produced from the front 2-channel speakers er headphones.

• Personal memory plus

This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected

fer the different seurces. When the input source is switched, the modes set fer that source last time it was used are automatically

recalled.

• Assignment of low frequency signal range

Tile 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 te "Small" in the
setup menu. The low frequency signal range of channels set te

"Large" are produced from those channels.

• Crossover Frequency

• When "Subwoefer" is set to "Yes" at tile "Speaker Cenfig."
screen, set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of
the various speakers is to be output from the subweofer (the
crossover frequency).

• For speakers set te "Small", sound with a frequency below
the crossover frequency is cut, and the cut bass sound is
output from the subwoefer instead.

(• When "Subwoofer" is set to "No", the bass sound is output

from the speakers set as "Large".)

NOTE:

• For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the
crossover frequency te 80 Hz. When using small speakers,

however, setting the crossover frequency to a higher

frequency may improve frequency response for frequencies

near the crossover frequency.

Advanced Setup - Part 2

• Subwoofer Mode

• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when "Large" is set
for the front speakers and "Yes" is set for the subwoofer in

"Setting the Speaker Config." (_ page 44).

• When the "LFE+MAIN" playback mode is selected, the low
frequency signal range of channels set to "Large" is produced
simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer

channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expands 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" 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 is
played from the subwoofer channel is only the low frequency
signal range of LFE (only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal
playback) and the channels specified as "Sr;_all" in the setup

menu.

• Select the play mode that offers the fullest bass.

• When the subwoofer is set to "Yes", bass sound is output from
the subwoofer regardless of the subwoofer mode setting in
surround modes other than Dolby/DTS.

• In surround modes other than Dolby Digital and DTS, if the
subwoofer is set to "Yes", the low frequency portion is always
output to the subwoofer channel. For details, refer to

"Surround modes and parameters" (_f page 56).

• This screen is not displayed when not using a subwoofer and
all speakers are set to small size.

Additional Information

There are currently various types of multi-channel signals (signals
or formats with more than two channels).

• Types of multi-channel signals

Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS, Mgh definition 3-1 signals
(Japan MUSE Hi-Vision audio), DVD-Audio, Super Audio CD,

MPEG multi-channel audio, etc.

"Source" here does not refer to the type of signal (format) but

the recorded content. Sources can be divided into two major

categories.

• Other types of audio:
These signals are designed to recreate a 360 ° sound field using
three to five speakers.

SL SR

Additional Information

A 6.1-channel system is a conventional 5.1-channel system to
which the "surround back" (SB) channel has been added. This

makes it easy to achieve sound positioned directly behind the

listener, something that was previously difficult with sources
designed for conventional multi surround speakers. In addition,
the acoustic image extending between the sides and the rear is

narrowed, thus greatly improving the expression of the surround
signals for sounds moving from the sides to the back and from
the front to the point directly behind the Nstening position.

increased (to four or eight) or speakers with bipolar or dipolar

properties are used.

In this case the speakers should surround the listener from all

the same way as the front speakers.

These two types of sources thus have different properties, and
different speaker settings, particularly for the surround speakers,

Additional Information

With this set, speaker(s) for 1 or 2 channels are required to

achieve a 6.1-channel system (DTS-ES, etc.). Adding these
speakers, however; increases the surround effect not only with

sources recorded in 6.1 channels but also with conventional 2- to

5.1-channel sources. Furthermore, all the DENON original
surround modes (l.._ _ page 26) are compatible with 7.1-channel
playback, so you can enjoy 7.1-channel sound with any signal

source.

• Number of surround back speakers

Though the surround back channel only consists of 1 channel of
playback signals for 6.1-channel sources (DTS-ES, etc.), we
recommend using two speakers. When using speakers with
dipolar characteristics in particular; it is essential to use two
speakers.
Using two speakers results in a smoether blend with the sound
of the surround channels and better sound positioning of the
surround back channel when listening from a position other than

the center.

Setting for primarily watching movies using

diffusion type speakers for the surround

speakers

For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse
radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide

a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct

radiating speaker (monopolar). Place these speakers at either

side of the prime listening position, mounted above ear level.

Path of the surroundsound from the

speakers to the listening position

• Placement of the surround left and right

channels when using surround back speakers

Using surround back speakers greatly improves the positioning
of the sound at the rear. Because of this, the surround left and
right channels play an important role in achieving a smooth

transition of the acoustic image from the front to the back. As

shown in the diagram above, in a movie theater the surround
signals are also produced from diagonally in front of the listeners,

creating an acoustic image as if the sound were floating in space.

To achieve these effects, we recommend placing the speakers
for the surround left and right channels slightly more towards the
front than with conventional surround systems. Doing so

sometimes increases the surround effect when playing

conventional 5.1-channel sources in the 6.1 surround or DTS-ES

Matrix 6.1 mode. Check the surround effects of the various

modes before selecting the surround mode.

Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different

purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up your system

according to the type of speakers used and the main usage

purpose.

• Set the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with
the TV or moniter screen as possible. Set the center speaker

between the front left and right speakers and no further from

the listening position than the front speakers.

• Consult the owner's manual for your subwoofer for advice on

placing the subwoefer within the listening room.

• If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar), then

place them slightly behind and at an angle to the listening
position and parallel to the walls at a position 2 to 3 feet above

ear level at the prime listening position.

• When using two surround back speakers, place them at the

back facing the front at a narrower distance than the front left

and right speakers. When using one surround back speaker,

place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher
position 0 to 0.7 feet than the surround speakers.

• We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a
slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents the
surround back channel signals from reflecting off the monitor or
screen at the front center; resulting in interference and making
the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.

Dolby Digital censists ef up to "5.1 " channels - frent left, front
right, center, surreund left, surround right, and an additional

channel exclusively reserved for additional deep bass sound
effects (the Lew Frequency Effects -LFE- channel, also called
the ".1" channel, containing bass frequencies of up to 120 Hz).
Unlike the analog Dolby Pre Logic format, Dolby Digital's main
channels can all contain full range sound informatien, from the

lowest bass, up to the highest frequencies - 22 kHz. The signals
within each channel are distinct frem the others, allowing

pinpeint sound imaging, and Delby Digital offers tremendous
dynamic range from the most powerful sound effects te the

quietest, softest sounds, free frem noise and distortion.

[2] DTS Digital Surround

Digital Theater Surreund (also called simply DTS) is a multi-
channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater

Systems.
DTS effers the same "5.1 " playback channels as Delby Digital

(front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) as
well as the steree 2-channel mode. The signals for the different

channels are fully independent, eliminating the risk of
deterioration of seund quality due to interference between

signals, cresstalk, etc.
DTS features a relatively higher bit rate as compared to Dolby

Digital (1234 kbps for CDs and LDs, 1536 kbps fer DVDs) so it
operates with a relatively low cempressk)n rate. Because of this

the amount of data is great, and when DTS playback is used in
movie theaters, a separate CD-ROM synchronized with the film

is played.
With LDs and DVDs, there is ef course no need for an extra disc;

the pictures and sound can be recorded simultaneeusly on the
same disc, so the discs can be handled in the same way as discs

with ether formats.
There are also music CDs recorded in DTS. These CDs include

5.1-channel surreund signals (compared to two channels on
current CDs). They do not include picture data, but they offer

surreund playback on CD players that are equipped with digital
outputs (PCM type digital output required).
DTS surround track playback effers the same intricate, grand
sound as in a movie theater, right in your ewn listening roem.

[3] DTS-ES Extended Surround TM

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multi-channel digital signal

fermat developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. While offering

high cempatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround

fermat, DTS-ES Extended Surreund greatly impreves the 360-

degree surround impression and space expressien thanks to

further expanded surreund signals. This format has been used

professionally in mevie theaters since 1999.
In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR and
LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surreund also offers the SB (Surreund
Back, semetimes also referred to as "surreund center") channel

fer surround playback with a total ef 6.1 channels. DTS-ES

Extended Surreund includes two signal formats with different
surround signal recerding methods, as described below.

• DTS-ES TM Discrete 6.1

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 is tile newest recording format. With it, all

6.1 channels (including the SB channel) are recorded

independently using a digital discrete system. The main feature
of this fermat is that because the SL, SR and SB channels are

fully independent, the sound can be designed with total freedem

and it is pessible te achieve a sense that the acoustic images are
moving abeut freely ameng the background sounds surreunding

the listener from 360 degrees.

Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks
recorded with this system are played using a DTS-ES decoder,
when played with a conventional DTS deceder the SB channel
signals are automatically down-mixed te the SL and SR channels,
so none of the signal cemponents are lest.

• DTS-ES TM Matrix 6.1

With this format, the additional SB channel signals undergo

matrix encoding and are input to the SL and SR channels
beferehand. Upon playback they are decoded to the SL, SR and
SBchannels. The performanceeftheencoder used at the time
of recerding can be fully matched using a high precisien digital
matrix decoder develeped by DTS, thereby achieving surreund
sound more faithful to the producer's seund design aims than
with conventienal 5.1- or 6.1-channel systems.
In addition, the bit stream format is 100% compatible with
conventienal DTS signals, se the effect ef the Matrix 6.1 format
can be achieved even with 5.1-channel signal sources. Of course
it is also possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 enceded sources

with a DTS 5.1-channel deceder.

When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 er Matrix 6.1 encoded sources are
decoded with a DTS-ES deceder, the format is autematically

detected upon decoding and the optimum playing mode is
selected. However, some Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected
as having a 5.1-channel format, so the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 mode
must be set manually to play these seurces. (For instructions on
selecting the surround mode (_ page 23).)

The DTS-ES deceder includes anether function, the DTS Nee:6
surreund mode fer 6.1-channel playback ef digital PCM and

analog signal sources.

• DTS Neo:6 TM surround

This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals to the high
precision digital matrix decoder used fer DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 te
achieve 6.1-channel surreund playback. High precision input
signal detectien and matrix processing enable full band
reproduction (frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater)
for all 6.1 channels, and separation between the different
channels is improved to the same level as that of a digital
discrete system.
DTS Nee:6 surreund includes two modes for selecting the
optimum decoding for the signal source.

• DTS Neo:6 Cinema

This mode is optimum for playing mevies. Decoding is

perfermed with emphasis en separation performance to

achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with

6.1-channel sources.
This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in

cenventienal surround formats as well, because the in-phase
component is assigned mainly to the center channel (C)and the

reversed phase cornpenent to the surreund (SL, SR and SB)

channels.

• DTS Neo:6 Music
This mode is suited mainly fer playing music. Changes in the

sound quality are reduced by deceding with emphasis on the
front channel signals (FL and FR), and a natural sense ef
expansion is given te the seund field by the effect of the
surreund signals output frem the center (C) and surreund (SL,

SR and SB) channels.

Additional Information

[4] DTS 96/24

The sampling frequency, number ef bits and number of channels

used for recording ef music, etc., in studies have been increasing
in recent years, and there are a growing number of high quality

signal sources, including 96 kHz/24-bit 5.1-channel sources.

For example, there are high picture/seund quality DVD vide{)

seurces with 96 kHz/24-bit stereo PCM audio tracks.

However; because the data rate for these audio tracks is
extremely high, there are limits to recording them on two
channels only, and since the quality of the pictures must be

restricted it is common to only include still pictures.

In addition, 96 kHz/24-bit 5.1-channel surround is pessible with

DVD audio seurces, but DVD audie players are required te play
them with this high quality.

DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by

Digital Theater Systems inc. in erder to deal with this situation.

Conventional surround formats used sampling frequencies ef 48
or 44.1 kHz, se 20 kHz was abeut the maximum playback signal
frequency. With DTS 96/24, the sampling frequency is increased
te 96 er 88.2 kHz to achieve a wide frequency range ef ever 40

kHz.

In additien, DTS 96/24 has a resolution of 24-bits, resulting in the
same frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24-bit PCM.
As with conventional DTS Surround, DTS 96/24 is cempatible
with a maximum of 5.1 channels, se sources recerded using DTS
96/24 can be played in high sampling frequency, multiple channel

audie with such normal media as DVD videos and CDs.
Thus, with DTS 96/24, the same 96 kHz/24-bit multi-channel
surround sound as with DVD-Audio can be achieved while

viewing DVD-Video images on a conventional DVD-Video player

(÷1). Furthermore, with DTS 96/24 compatible CDs, 88.2

kHz/24-bit multFchannel surround can be achieved using normal

CD/LD players ( ÷ 1).

Even with the high quality multi-channel signals, the recerding
time is the same as with conventional DTS surround sources.

What's mere, DTS 96/24 is fully compatible with the cenventienal

DTS surround format, se DTS 96/24 signal sources can be played
with a sampling frequency ef 48 kHz er 44.1 kHz on cenventk)nal

DTS or DTS-ES surround decoders (÷ 2).

÷ 1 A DVD player with DTS digital output capabilities (fer CD/LD

players, a player with digital outputs for conventional DTS
CDdLDs) and a disc recorded in DTS 96/24 are required.

÷ 2 The reselution is 24 or 20 bits, depending on the decoder.
