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. Ser vicing – 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.

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.

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

NOTE

By default, the AVR-988’s “Amp Assign” setting is set to “ZONE2”. To use as the surround back speaker for the main zone, change the “Amp Assign” setting (vpage 30).

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and – (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the AVR-988, and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.

Peel off about 0.03 ft/10 mm of sheathing

from the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.

Turn the speaker terminal

counterclockwise to loosen it.

Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to

the hilt into the speaker terminal.

Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to

tighten it.

When using a banana plug

Tighten the speaker terminal ﬁrmly before inserting the banana plug.

Protection circuit

If speakers with an impedance lower than speciﬁed (for example 4 Ω/ohms speakers) are used for an extended period of time with the volume turned up high, the temperature may rise, activating the protection circuit. When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is shut off and the power indicator ﬂashes red. If this happens, unplug the power cord, then check the speaker cable and input cable connections. If the set is extremely hot, wait for it to cool off and improve ventilation around it. Once this is done, plug the power cord back in and turn the set’s power back on. If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems in the ventilation around the set nor in the connections, the set may be damaged. Turn the power off, then contact a DENON service center.

Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting

NOTE

• 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 8 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.

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.

Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting

Auto Setup

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

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

Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone

(DM-A405) successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as shown in Example q. For best results, it is strongly recommended to measure 6 or more 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.

Example q Example w

( :Measuring positions)

Preparations

Connect the included calibrated setup microphone to

the SETUP MIC jack on the main unit.

The auto setup screen appears automatically.

Sound receptor

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

with the microphone pointing directly up towards the ceiling.

Setup

microphone

b It is not recommended to hold it in your hand. 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 reﬂections may give inaccurate results.

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 XT uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 26, 27.



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 ﬁlter: “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.

The settings are performed automatically.

Start

Start Auto Setup. The Audyssey MultEQ XT Auto Setup process automatically calculates the size, level, distance, bass management crossover frequency, and optimal settings for each speaker and subwoofer. Audyssey MultEQ XT corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area. Before starting, connect and position all your speakers. Once started, MultEQ XT will play a series of test tones through each speaker.

Step 1 : Speaker Detection

The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the ﬁ rst measurement position. The following attributes are also determined at this time: “Speaker Size”, “Speaker Distance”, “Channel Level”, “Crossover Frequency”. Once the measurements are completed, the results are displayed.

NOTE

• Loud test tone may be played during Audyssey MultEQ XT Automatic Speaker Setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test tones 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.

• Quiet the listening environment before beginning measurements and refrain from talking. Turn off air conditioning units or other devices that emit noise if at all possible as measurements may be affected by these sounds.

• Operating the MASTER VOLUME knob on the main unit or the MASTER VOLUME buttons on the remote control unit during the measurements will cancel the measurements.

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

Step 2 : Measurement

After completing a measurement position, move the microphone to the next position.

Step 3 : Calculation

When “Calculate” is selected at “Step2”, the measurements taken are analyzed automatically to determine how the speaker system interacts with the room.

The time required for this analysis depends on the number of speakers connected. The higher the number of speakers, the longer the time required for analysis.

Step 4 : Check

Once the auto setup procedure is complete, a measuring result check screen appears. Select any item whose results you want to check to review the results.

Values that are different from the actual distance may be set for speakers with built-in ﬁ lters (subwoofers, etc.). This is because ﬁ lters add electrical delay to the signal that should be compensated.

Step 5 : Store

The auto setup measurement results are stored in the AVR-988.

NOTE

Do not turn the power off while the settings are being stored.

Getting Started Connections Setup Playback Remote Control Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting

If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error Messages”, take the advised action, then start the measurements again (vpage 25).

About the RESTORER function

• Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio) and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating signal components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The RESTORER function generates the signals eliminated upon compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those of the original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of volume of the bass to obtain richer sound with compressed audio

signals.

• This is displayed on the menu and can be set when the input source is selected to “XM”, or analog signals (including AM/FM signals) or PCM signals (fs = 44.1/48 kHz) are input.

About Speaker Installation

Surround back speakers

Number of surround back speakers

We recommend using 2 speakers. When using dipolar speakers in particular, be sure to use 2 speakers.

Placement of the surround left and right channels when using surround back speakers

We recommend installing the speakers for the surround “L” and “R” channels a bit forward.

w 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 surround sound from the speakers to the listening position

Sound positioning directly to the rear can be achieved easily by adding a surround back speaker to a 5.1-channel system. 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 listening position.

The AVR-988 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the same sense of presence as in a movie theater.

Dolby Surround

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels (“FL” , “FR” and “C”), 2 surround channels (“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for low frequencies. Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic sound ﬁeld with a “three-dimensional” feeling (sense of distance, movement and positioning) is achieved. A real, overpowering sense of presence is achieved when playing movie sources in AV rooms as well.

Dolby Digital Plus

Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal format that is compatible with up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound and also improves sound quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance. It is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby Digital, so it offers greater ﬂexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions of the playback equipment.

Dolby TrueHD

Dolby TrueHD is a high deﬁnition audio technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, using lossless coding technology to faithfully reproduce the sound of the studio master. This format is compatible with a maximum sampling frequency of 96 kHz and up to 7.1-channels, so it is used for applications particularly prioritizing sound quality.

Dolby Pro Logic g

Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5-channels to achieve an excellent surround effect. The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to create a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich sense of presence for all stereo sources.

Dolby Pro Logic gx

Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic g matrix decoding technology.

Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural sound with up to 7.1-channels. There are 3 modes: “Music” suited for playing music, “Cinema” suited for playing movies, and “Game” which is optimized for playing games.

b Sources recorded in Dolby Surround

Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the following logo marks. Dolby Surround support mark :

Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors. Enables increased contrast ratio. Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white. At 30-bit pixel depth, a four times improvement would be the minimum, and the typical improvement would be eight times or more.

xvYCC

Next-generation “xvYCC” color space supports 1.8 times as many colors as existing HDTV signals. Lets HDTVs display colors more accurately. Enables displays with natural, vivid colors.

Lip Sync

Because consumer electronics devices are using increasingly complex digital signal processing to enhance the clarity and detail of the content, synchronization of video and audio in user devices has become a greater challenge and could potentially require complex enduser adjustments. HDMI 1.3 incorporates an automatic video/audio synching capability that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with total accuracy.
