Determine the speaker system depending on the number of speakers you are using and install each speaker and subwoofer in the room. Speaker installation is explained using this example of a typical installation.

L/R

(LEFT/RIGHT speaker):

SW 1/2

(Subwoofer):

Place the LEFT and RIGHT speakers an equal distance from the main listening position. The distance between each speaker and your TV should also be the same.

Place the SUBWOOFER at a convenient location near the speakers. If you have two subwoofers, place them asymmetrically across the front of your room.

Connecting speakers

Here we connect the speakers in the room to this unit.

Before connecting speakers

NOTE

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

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

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. 191))

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

could result in electric shock. When the “Setup Assistant” (page 8 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.

Front panel Display Rear panel Remote Index

NOTE

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

Ω/ohms.

1. Press and hold the main unit’s ZONE2 SOURCE and STATUS at the same

4. Press the main unit’s STATUS to complete the setting.

Select when the impedance for all of the connected speakers is 8 Ω/ohms or over.

Connecting the speaker cables

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and – (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to this unit, and be sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.

Peel off about 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.

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

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.

Connecting a USB memory device to the USB port

For operating instructions see “Playing a USB memory device” (v p. 48).

Denon does not guarantee that all USB memory devices will operate or receive power. When using a portable USB hard disk drive (HDD) which came with an AC adapter,

use that device’s supplied AC adapter.

NOTE

USB memory devices will not work via a USB hub.

It is not possible to use this unit by connecting the unit’s USB port to a PC via a USB cable.

Do not use an extension cable when connecting a USB memory device. This may cause radio interference with other devices.

DAB/FM indoor antenna

(supplied)

Contents Connections Playback Settings Tips Appendix

Connecting a DAB/FM antenna

After connecting the antenna and receiving a DAB signal, find the position at which the reception is best using the “Tuning Aid” function, then fix the antenna with tape at that position. Please follow the instruction “Checking the reception intensity of stations (Tuning Aid)” (v p. 65) to achieve the best result.

For best results with the supplied indoor antenna, orient the antenna along a wall

such that it is stretched out horizontally and parallel to the floor (but above the floor), and then fasten the two end tabs to the wall. This type of antenna is directional and best results will be obtained when it is correctly oriented toward the transmitting location.

For example, if the transmission tower is to the north, then the two ends of the

antenna (with the tabs) should be stretched toward west and east. If you are unable to receive a good broadcast signal, we recommend installing an

outdoor antenna. For details, inquire at the retail store where you purchased the unit.

See “Wi-Fi Setup” on how to connect to a wireless LAN router. (v p. 140)

functions:

Built-in DHCP server

This function automatically assigns IP addresses on the LAN. Built-in 100BASE-TX switch

When connecting multiple devices, we recommend a switching hub with a speed of 100 Mbps or greater.

Only use a shielded STP or ScTP LAN cable (readily available at electronics

stores). (CAT-5 or greater recommended) The normal shielded-type LAN cable is recommended.

If a flat-type cable or unshielded-type cable is used, other devices could be affected by noise.

When using this unit connected to a network with no DHCP function, configure the

IP address, etc. in “Network”. (v p. 139)

NOTE

The types of routers that can be used depend on the ISP. Contact your ISP or a

computer shop for details. This unit is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE compatible router is required if

your contracted line is not set using PPPoE. Do not connect a NETWORK connector directly to the LAN port / Ethernet

connector on your computer. Various online services may be discontinued without prior notice.
