SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning ﬂash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufﬁcient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the product is operated.

2. Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the product and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning – Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water – for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

8. Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should

follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9. A product and cart combination should be moved

with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

11. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

12. Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will ﬁt into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to ﬁt, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.

16. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

17. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

18. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of ﬁre or electric shock.

19. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a ﬁre or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

20. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel.

21. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualiﬁed service personnel under the following conditions:

a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product, c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water, d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualiﬁed technician to

restore the product to its normal operation, e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this

indicates a need for service.

22. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the

service technician has used replacement parts speciﬁed by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in ﬁre, electric shock, or other hazards.

23. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,

ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be mounted to a wall or

ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

25. Heat – The product should be situated away from heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including ampliﬁers) that produce heat.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ is integrated into

Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression,

and dialog clarity remain the same. b About Dynamic EQ Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of

deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased

by taking into account human perception and

room acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in

tandem with Audyssey MultEQ® to provide well-

balanced sound for every listener at any volume

level.

• Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. When using front A and B speakers simultaneously, use speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 Ω/ohms.

• Connect the speaker cables in such a way that they do not stick out of the speaker terminals. 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.

Speciﬁcations

Surround speakers

NOTE

For surround back speakers :

• Since “Amp Assign” of AVR-889 is set to “ZONE2” by default, audio is not output from the surround back speakers. When using the surround back speakers with MAIN ZONE, change the “Amp Assign” setting to “7.1ch” (vpage 29).

• When using just one surround back speaker, connect it to the left channel (SBL).

For ZONE2 speakers :

• For multi-zone connection and operation, see “Amp Assign / Multi-zone Connections and Operations” (vpage 60 ~ 62).

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-889 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-889 has failed, please contact DENON Service center after switching off.

NOTE

• The audio signals output from the HDMI connector (sampling frequency, bit rate, etc.) may be restricted by the connected device.

• Video signals are not output properly when using devices that are not HDCP-compatible.

• Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the monitor’s resolution. In this case, switch the Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player’s resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is compatible.

• If the menu “Manual Setup” – “HDMI Setup” – “HDMI Audio Out” setting (vpage 26) is set to “AMP”, the sound may be interrupted when the monitor’s power is turned off.

• Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certiﬁed HDMI product) for connection to the HDMI connector. Normal playback may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certiﬁed product).

• If the monitor or Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player does not support Deep Color, deep color signal transfer is not possible.

• If the monitor or Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player does not support xvYCC, xvYCC signal transfer is not possible.

• If the monitor does not support “Auto Lipsync Correction” function, this function will not work.

• The AVR-889 is compatible with the HDMI’s CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) function. Please note the following.

• It may not work depending on the device it is connected to and its setup.

• It does not operate with televisions or players that are not compatible with HDMI’s CEC.

• When the AVR-889 and Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player are connected using an HDMI cable, also connect the AVR-889 and monitor using an HDMI cable.

• If the connected monitor or Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player only has a DVI-D connector, use an HDMI/DVI converter cable. When using a DVI cable, no audio signals are transmitted.

• Use a Deep Color compatible cable for connection to Deep Color compatible devices.

When connecting with an HDMI/DVI converter cable (adapter)

• HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI format. When connecting to a monitor, etc., equipped with a DVI-D connector, connection is possible using an

HDMI/DVI converter cable, but depending on the combination of components in some cases the video signals will not be output.

• When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video signals may not be output properly due to poor connections with the connected cable, etc.

In order to play the digital video and audio signals of a Blu-ray, DVD- Video or DVD-Audio disc using HDMI/ DVI connections, both the connected Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player and monitor must be equipped for a copyright protection system called “HDCP” (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). HDCP is a copy protection technology consisting of data encoding and mutual identiﬁcation of the devices. The AVR-889 is HDCP-compatible. For details on the Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player or monitor you are using, refer to its operating instructions.

Preparations

• Audyssey MultEQ® automatically measures the acoustical problems in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for your home theater.

• Audyssey MultEQ optimizes a large listening area where one or more listeners are seated.

Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone

(DM-A409) successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as shown in Example q. For best results, it is strongly recommended to measure 6 positions so that the measurements have the proper spatial weighting.

Even if the listening environment is small as shown in Example w,

measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 24, 25.

About the main listening position (*M)

The main listening position refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

Example q Example w

( :Measuring positions)

Connect the included calibrated setup microphone to

the SETUP MIC jack on the main unit.

The auto setup screen appears automatically.

Place the microphone at ear height on a tripod or stand

with the microphone pointing directly up towards the ceiling.

b Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements.

Be sure that the path from microphone to the speakers is not blocked by objects. Avoid placing the microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound reﬂ ections may give inaccurate results.

When using a subwoofer, make the following settings before starting the auto setup procedure:

• Defeat the volume and crossover controls if possible

• If this is not possible then set

•

Volume: “12 o’clock” position

•

Crossover frequency: “Maximum/Highest Frequency”

•

Low pass ﬁ lter: “Off”

•

Standby mode: “Off”

NOTE

• Do not disconnect the setup microphone until the auto setup procedure is completed.

• When using headphones, unplug the headphones before starting the auto setup procedure.

About the Auto Setup

The Audyssey MultEQ auto setup function detects the presence of each speaker and automatically calculates the speaker size, channel level, distance, and optimal crossover frequency setting. Audyssey MultEQ corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area. Before starting, connect and position all of your speakers. Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through each speaker.

The settings found at this stage are applied automatically.

Step 5: Store

NOTE

• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey MultEQ automatic speaker setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume.

• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings.

• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, ﬂ uorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may be affected by these sounds.

Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during

the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use).

• Operating MASTER VOLUME during the measurements will cancel the measurements.

Auto Setup

Optimize settings for speakers in use.

Step 1 : Speaker Detection

NOTE

Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after “Step 1”.

The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the ﬁ rst measurement position (main listening position). The following attributes are also determined at this time: “Speaker Size”, “Speaker Distance”, “Channel Level”, “Crossover Frequency”. q Select “Start 0”, then press o.

• Starts measuring the main listening position.

w Select “Next 0”, then press o.

•If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error Messages”, take the advised action, then start the measurements again (vpage 23).

• If the result differs from the actual connection status or an error message appears, use i to on-screen display “Retry 0” and then press o to repeat the measurement.

• If the result still differs from the actual connection status after re-measurement or the error message still appears, it is possible that the speakers are not connected properly. Turn the AVR-889 off, check the speaker connections and repeat the measurement process from the beginning.
