SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
n
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.
CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE. DO NOT TOUCH.
The top surface over the internal heat sink may become hot when operating this product continuously.

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.
Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the actual unit for explanation purposes.
Cautions on Installation
Note: For proper heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a confined space, such as a bookcase or similar enclosure.

Inserting the Batteries
q Lift the clasp and remove the
rear cover.
e Put the rear cover back on.
NOTE
• Replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not operate even when the remote control unit is operated close to the unit.
• The supplied batteries are only for verifying operation.
• When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper direction, following the “q” and “w” marks in the battery compartment.
• To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:
• Do not use a new battery together with an old one.
• Do not use two different types of batteries.
• Do not attempt to charge dry batteries.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in flames.
• If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the inside of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit if it will not be in use for long periods.
• Used batteries should be disposed of in accordance with the local regulations regarding battery disposal.
w Load the two batteries properly
as indicated by the marks in the battery compartment.

Converting Input video signals for Output (Video Conversion Function)
Connections
The AVR-890 is equipped with four types of video input/output terminals (HDMI, Component video, S­Video and video). Use the terminals according to the devices to be connected. This function automatically converts various formats of video signals input to the AVR-890 into the format used to output the video signals from the AVR-890 to a monitor.

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

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-890 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-890 has failed, please contact DENON Service center after switching off.

About Bi-amp Connections
These connections make for higher quality playback sound with no interference between the signals of the bass and treble units.

Important Information
n About HDMI
“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.
Getting Started
Connections
Playback Remote Control Information Troubleshooting
Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten
4
it.
n When using a banana plug
Tighten the speaker terminal firmly before inserting the banana plug.
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.
NOTE
• 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.
AVR-890
When in the “Front A Bi-Amp” and “Front B Bi-Amp” modes, the same signals are output from the front speaker terminals and the AMP ASSIGN terminals.
NOTE
• Use speakers compatible with bi-amp connections.
• When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short­circuiting plate or wire between the speaker’s woofer and tweeter terminals.
n Functions usable with HDMI connections
Deep Color
Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors.
x.v.Color
Enables displays with natural, vivid colors. “x.v.Color” is a Sony registered trademark.
Auto Lip Sync (vpage 30)
HDMI 1.3 incorporates an automatic video/audio synching capability that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with total accuracy.
HDMI control function (vpage 30, 52)
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.

• 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).
• When the AVR-890 is connected to other devices with HDMI cables, also connect the AVR-890 and TV using an HDMI cable.
• When a device supporting Deep Color signal transfer is connected, use a cable compatible with HDMI ver.1.3a.
• 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.
Connecting devices
NOTE
• If the menu “HDMI Audio Out” setting (vpage 30) is set to “Amp”, the sound may be interrupted when the monitor’s power is turned off.
• The audio signal from the HDMI output terminal (sampling frequency, number of channels, etc.) may be limited by the HDMI audio specifications of the connected device regarding permissible inputs.
n Connecting to a device equipped with a DVI-D
terminal
When an HDMI/DVI conversion cable (sold separately) is used, the HDMI video signals are converted to DVI signals, allowing connection to a device equipped with a DVI-D terminal.
NOTE
• No sound is output when connected to a device equipped with a DVI-D terminal. Also make the audio connections.
• Signals cannot be output to DVI-D devices that do not support HDCP.
• Depending on the combination of devices, the video signals may not be output.
