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 going on vacation or leaving home
for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the
power outlet.

• Proper ventilation
If the unit is left in a room full of smoke from cigarettes, etc., for
long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup may get dirty,
preventing it from receiving signals properly.

• About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and its surroundings, condensation may form on parts inside
the unit, causing it to fail 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 that
occurs, move the mobile phone away from the 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 cables connected to other system units before
moving the unit.

• Do not write on the labeled (printed) surface with ball-point pens,
pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs.

• Water droplets may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from
a cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try to
dry them off using a hairdryer, etc.

Cautions on storing discs

• Be sure to remove discs after using them.

• Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches, warping, etc.

• Do not store discs in the following places:

1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time

2. Dusty or humid places

3. Places exposed to heat from heaters, etc.

Cleaning discs

• If there are fi ngerprints or dirt on a disc, wipe them off before using
the disc. Fingerprints and dirt can impair sound quality and cause
interruptions in playback.

• Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to clean
discs.

Basic Operations Advanced Operations TroubleshootingExplanation termsInformation Specifi cations Index

Cautions on loading discs

• Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs can damage
the unit or scratch the discs.

• Do not use cracked or warped discs or discs that have been repaired
with adhesive, etc.

• Do not use discs on which the sticky part of cellophane tape or labels
is exposed or on which there are traces of where labels have been
removed. Such discs can get caught inside the player and damage it.

Gently wipe the disc from the
inside towards the outside.

Do not wipe in a circular motion.

NOTE

Do not use record spray, antistatic agents, benzene, thinner or other
solvents.

Getting Started

This section explains how to connect speakers, recording
equipment, antennas and network.
For other connections, see the sections below.

NOTE

• Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have been
completed.

• When making connections, also refer to the owner’s manual of the
other components.

• Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left,
right with right).

• Do not bundle power supply cords together with connection cables.
Doing so can result in humming or noise.

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 unit, and be
sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.

Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing

1

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

Turn the speaker terminal

2

counterclockwise to loosen it.

Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to

3

all the way into the speaker terminal.

Turn the speaker terminal clockwise

4

to tighten it.

NOTE

• Use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 16 Ω. The protection circuit
may be activated if speakers with an impedance other than specifi ed
are used.

• Connect the speaker cables so they do not stick out of the speaker
terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if the wires
touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each other
(vpage6 “Protection circuit”).

• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is
connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.

• When you connect optional speakers (SC-N7) to this unit, you can
perform the fi lter setting for optimal sound quality output (vpage35
“Using an optimizing fi lter”).

Speaker connections

Protection circuit

The protection circuit is be activated in the following situations:

• If the speaker cable wire touches the rear panel or screws or if the
speaker cable wire touches the speaker cable’s + and – sides are
touching

• If the surrounding temperature is extremely high

• If the inside of the amplifi er gets hot to extended use at a high
output

If this happens, unplug the power cord, then check the connections
of the speaker cables and input cables. If the unit becomes very hot,
wait for it to cool off and improve the ventilation around it. After doing
this, plug the power cord back in.
If the protection circuit is activated even though there are no problems
with the ventilation around the unit or in connections, the unit may
be damaged. Turn off the power and then contact a DENON service
center.

Required system

n Broadband internet connection
n Modem

Device that connects to the broadband circuit and conducts
communications on the Internet.
A type that is integrated with a router is also available.

n Router

When using this unit, we recommend you use a router equipped
with the following 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.

• When using with a wireless LAN, prepare a broadband router
with built-in access point.

n

Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)

• Use only shielded STP or ScTP LAN cable which is available at
retailer.

• Some fl at type Ethernet cables are easily affected by noise.
We recommend using a normal type cable.

• If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network
settings are made manually, make the settings at “Network
connecting (DHCP=Off)” (vpage30).

• With this unit, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP functions
to make the network settings automatically.

• When using this unit with the broadband router’s DHCP function
enabled, this unit automatically performs the IP address setting and
other settings.
When using this unit connected to a network with no DHCP function,
make the settings for the IP address, etc., at “Network connecting
(DHCP=Off)” (vpage30).

• When setting manually, check the setting contents with the network
administrator.

NOTE

• A contract with an ISP is required to connect to the Internet.
No additional contract is needed if you already have a broadband
connection to the Internet.

• The types of routers that can be used depend on the ISP. Contact an
ISP or a computer shop for details.

• DENON assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any
communication errors or troubles resulting from customer’s network
environment or connected devices.

• This unit is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-compatible router
is required if you have a contract for a type of line set by PPPoE.

• Do not connect an ETHERNET connector directly to the LAN port/
Ethernet connector on your computer.
