High quality sound

With discrete circuit technology, the power amplifier provides

0

identical quality for all 9-channels (190 Watts x 9-channels)

For optimum realism and stunning dynamic range, the power amplifier
section features discrete power devices (not integrated circuitry).
By using high current, high power discrete power devices, the amplifier
is able to easily drive high quality speakers.

Dolby Atmos (v

0

This unit is equipped with a decoder that supports Dolby Atmos, a
completely new audio format. The placement or movement of sound is
accurately reproduced by the addition of overhead speakers, enabling
you to experience an incredibly natural and realistic surround sound
field.

0

Audyssey DSX® (v

This unit is equipped with Audyssey DSX® processor. By connecting
front height speakers to this unit and playing back with Audyssey DSX
processing you can experience a more vertically expansive front
soundstage. By connecting two front wide speakers, you can
experience a wider and more expanded front soundstage.

Audyssey LFC™ (Low Frequency Containment) (v

0

Audyssey LFC™ solves the problem of low frequency sounds
disturbing people in neighboring rooms or apartments. Audyssey
LFC™ dynamically monitors the audio content and removes the low
frequencies that pass through walls, floors and ceilings. It then applies
psychoacoustic processing to restore the perception of low bass for
listeners in the room. The result is great sound that no longer disturbs
the neighbors.

Discrete subwoofers and Audyssey Sub EQ HT™ (v p. 215)

0

The unit has two subwoofer output capability and can adjust the level
and delay for each subwoofer individually.
Audyssey Sub EQ HT™ makes the integration seamless by first
compensating for any level and delay differences between the two
subwoofers and then applying Audyssey MultEQ® XT32 to both
subwoofers together for improved deep bass response and detail.

DTS Neo:X (v p. 346)

0

This technology enables the playback of 2-channel source audio or

7.1/5.1 multi-channel source audio through a maximum 11.1-channel
speakers, achieving an even broader soundstage.

Denon’s unique high quality playback technology “Denon Link

0

HD” (v

This unit is equipped with our exclusive “Denon Link HD” technology.
When connected to a Denon disc player that has Denon Link HD, the
sound localization becomes more precise, with increased detail and

®

definition. The system works by carrying the critical clock timing signals
via the dedicated Denon Link HD connection, minimizing the jitter
caused by conventional digital connections. This effect can be applied
to an audio source of any media from a Blu-ray disc player.

This technology enables the playback of 2-channel source audio or

7.1/5.1 multi-channel source audio through a maximum 11.1-channel
speakers, achieving an even broader soundstage.

This unit supports DTS:X via firmware update. DTS:X brings the home
theater experience to new heights with its immersive object based
audio technology which removes the bounds of channels.

The flexibility of objects allows for sound to be scaled large or small

leading to a richer immersive audio experience.

This unit is equipped with an Auro-3D decoder.
With Auro-3D, Front Height (FHL+FHR), Surround Height (SHL+SHR) and Top Surround (TS/optional) are added to a conventional 5.1-channel
system to achieve a natural and realistic sound field that is three-dimensional and fully immersive.

After performing the Auro-3D upgrade you will be able to fully enjoy Auro-3D playback if you properly place the speakers for Auro-3D.

2Dolby Atmos Playback

Auro-3D does not support a Dolby Atmos configuration using Top Front, Top Middle, Top Rear, Rear Height, or any Dolby Atmos Enabled speakers.
If you are using these speakers and want to take advantage of the Auro-3D Upgrade, you need to relocate them to Front Height and Surround Height speaker locations as
shown above.

But it is possible to support both an Auro-3D and Dolby Atmos by adding front height and rear height speakersz to a 5.1 configuration.

For an optimum Auro-3D experience surround height speakers are strongly recommended.

between each speaker and your TV should also be the
same.

Place the CENTER speaker in between the front
speakers and above or below your TV.

Place the SURROUND left and right speakers an
equal distance to the left and right sides of the main
listening position. If you don’t have surround back
speakers, move the surround speakers slightly behind
your listening position.

Place the SURROUND BACK left and right speakers

a single surround back speaker (SB), place it directly
behind the listening position.

Place the FRONT WIDE left and right speakers

Speaker connection

Here we connect the speakers in the room to this unit.
This section explains how to connect them using typical examples.

NOTE

Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the

0

speakers. Also, turn off the subwoofer.
Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker

0

terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear
panel or if the + and - sides touch each other. (“Protection circuit” (v p. 353))

Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so

0

could result in electric shock. When the “Setup Assistant” (page 9 in the separate
“Quick Start Guide”) is running, follow the instructions in the “Setup Assistant”
screen for making connections. (Power is not supplied to the speaker terminals
while the “Setup Assistant” is running.)

Use speakers with an impedance of 4 – 16 Ω/ohms.

0

NOTE

Carry out the following settings when using a speaker with an impedance of 4 – 6

0

Ω/ohms.

Press and hold the main unit’s o and p at the same time for at least 3 seconds.

1.

“zVideo Format < PAL>” appears on the display.

Speaker configuration and “Amp Assign” settings

This unit has a built-in 9-channel power amplifier. In addition to the basic 5.1-channel system, a variety of speaker systems can be configured by changing
the “Amp Assign” (v p. 225) settings to suit the application, such as 7.1-channel systems, bi-amp connections and 2-channel systems for multi-zone
playback.

Perform “Amp Assign” settings to suit the number of rooms and speaker configuration to be installed. (v p. 225)

7.1-channel playback (bi-amp connection of front speakers)

This system plays back 7.1-channels. You can use the bi-amp connection for front speakers. Bi-amp connection is a method to connect separate
amplifiers to the tweeter terminal and woofer terminal of a speaker that supports bi-amplification. This connection enables back EMF (power returned
without being output) from the woofer to flow into the tweeter without affecting the sound quality, producing a higher sound quality.

You can connect speakers for up to 9 channels for MAIN ZONE. When you connect speakers for 8 or more channels, the output speakers
automatically switch according to the input signal and sound mode.

.

NOTE

.

When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short-circuiting plate or wire between the speaker’s woofer and tweeter terminals.

Connecting a turntable

This unit is compatible with turntables equipped with a moving magnet (MM) phono cartridge. When you connect to a turntable with a low output moving
coil (MC) cartridge, use a commercially available MC head amp or a step-up transformer.

If you set this unit’s input source to “Phono” and you accidentally increase the volume without having a turntable connected, you may hear a hum noise
from the speakers.

NOTE

Front panel Display Rear panel Remote Index

The earth terminal (SIGNAL GND) of this unit is not for safety grounding
purposes. If this terminal is connected when there is a lot of noise, the noise can
be reduced. Note that depending on the turntable, connecting the ground line
may have the reverse effect of increasing noise. In this case, it is not necessary
to connect the ground line.
