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.

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. Servicing – 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.

NOTE:

• This DVD surround receiver uses the semiconductor laser. To allow you to enjoy music at a
stable operation, it is recommended to use this in a room of 5 °C (41 °F) ~ 35 °C (95 °F).

Copyrights

•It is prohibited by law to reproduce, broadcast, rent or play discs in public without the consent
of the copyright holder.

Before using

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

• Handle the power supply cord carefully

Do not damage or deform the power supply
cord. If it is damaged or deformed, it may
cause electric shock or malfunction when

To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in
the connection cables, always unplug the
power supply cord and disconnect the
connection cables between all other audio
components when moving the set.

•Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are
proper and that there are not problems with
the connection cables. Always set the power
switch to the standby position before
connecting and disconnecting connection
cables.

• Store this instruction in a safe place.

After reading, store these instructions along in
a safe place.

• Note that the illustrations in this
instruction may differ from the actual set
for explanation purposes.

Cautions on installation

Noise or disturbance of the picture may be
generated if this unit or any other electronic
equipment using microprocessors is used near
a tuner or TV.
If this happens, take the following steps:

• Install this unit as far as possible from the
tuner or TV.

• Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV
away from this unit’s power supply cord and
input/output connection cords.

• Noise or disturbance tends to occur
particularly when using indoor antennas or
300 Ω/ohms feeder wires. We recommend

using outdoor antennas and 75 Ω/ohms
coaxial cables.

DVD Surround receiver

Note:
For heat dispersal, do not install this
equipment in a confined space such as a
book case or similar unit.

Wall

Note

Speaker system and subwoofer

The quality of the sound produced from the
speaker system is affected by the size and type
of the room, as well as by the method of
installation. Consider the points listed below
before installing the speaker system.

• Note that placing the speaker system on the
same stand or shelf as a record player may
result in howling.

• If there is a wall, glass door, etc., directly in
front of or behind the speaker system, cover
the wall or door with a thick curtain to prevent
resonance and reflection.

• The speaker systems are of the low-leakage­flux type and can be used near televisions, but
depending on the TV there may be color
blotching on the picture. If this happens, turn off
the TV’s power, move the TV and speaker
system a little apart, wait 15 to 30 minutes,
then turn the TV’s power back on. The TV’s
automatic degaussing circuit should reduce the
blotching on the picture. If blotching persists,
move the speaker and TV further away from
each other.

• Install on a firm, flat floor to prevent accidents
due to toppling down.

• Do not place a record player, CD player or
other AV components on top of the
subwoofer.

NOTE:

•To ensure safety, do not place any objects
on top or lean objects against the speaker
system.

• The speaker may topple down or fall if
force is applied to the sides. Be particularly
careful to avoid this, as this could cause
injury or other serious accidents.

• When installing the speaker systems on
the wall, to ensure safety, have specialists
do the installation work.

• Be sure to fasten the speaker cords to a
wall, etc., to prevent people from tripping
over them or otherwise pulling on them
accidentally, causing the speaker systems
to fall.

• Be sure to check for safety after installing
the speaker systems. Afterwards, perform
safety inspections at regular intervals to be
sure there is no danger that the speaker
systems will fall. Denon will accept no
responsibility for damages or accidents
caused by inappropriate choice of the
place of installation or improper installation
procedures.

• For your safety, do not put anything nor
lean yourself on the loudspeakers.

• Do not push the loudspeaker
from aside to protect it from
toppling that may cause
serious accident.

• Fix speaker cables to prevent being caught
on it and making loudspeakers toppling
down.

SC-S101

• When mounting the speaker system (SC­S101) on a speaker stand or wall bracket.
As shown in the diagram, fasten the speaker
stand to the back of the speaker using the two
included screws.

When mounting, be sure to install properly
and securely.

• When placing the included SC-S101 speakers
on a rack or shelf, fasten the included speaker
stand securely using the screws included with
the SC-S101 speakers (left and right).

Cautions on handling

• Switching the input function when input
terminals are not connected.

A clicking noise may be produced if the input
function is switched when nothing is
connected to the input terminals. If this
happens, either turn down the VOLUME knob
or connect components to the input terminals.

• Muting of HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER
terminals.

The HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER
terminals include a muting circuit. Because of
this, the output signals are greatly reduced for
several seconds after the power switch is
turned on or input function, surround mode or
any other-set-up is changed. If the volume is
turned up during this time, the output will be
very high after the muting circuit stops
functioning. Always wait until the muting
circuit turns off before adjusting the volume.

• Whenever the power switch is in the
STANDBY state, the apparatus is still
connected on AC line voltage.
Please be sure to unplug the cord when
you leave home for, say, a vacation.

DVD Surround receiver Speaker system

•Muting of after power is turned ON.

The built-in amplifier of the active subwoofer
includes a muting circuit. The output signal is
strongly attenuated for several seconds after
the power is turned on. If the volume is
adjusted during this time, the output may be
extremely high when the muting circuit is
deactivated. Be sure to wait for the muting
circuit to be deactivated before adjusting the
volume.

• Magnetic force of speaker system.

Note that color blotching may occur on a TV,
etc., due to interaction with the speaker
system if there is a magnet or an object
generating magnetic force nearby.

Example:

(a) When there are magnets on the door of the

rack, stand, etc.

(b) When a health device, etc., equipped with

magnets is placed nearby.

(c) When toys or other objects using magnets are

placed nearby.

NOTE:

• Be sure to fasten the power supply cord
to a wall, etc., to prevent people from
tripping over it or otherwise pulling on it
accidentally, causing the subwoofer to fall.

Connecting the system

NOTE:

• Do not plug the power supply cord into the power outlet until all connections are completed.
Be sure to interconnect the channels (L to L (white) and R to R (red)) properly, as shown on
the diagram.

ADV-S101

SC-S101

System cable

Speaker cable

DSW-S101

Connect the speaker system for the left channel (the left side as seen from the front) to the L

there is a hole

there is a bump

With the S-101 it is possible to enjoy a home theater easily, simply by using the included cables to
connect a subwoofer, speakers and your TV. “Easy setup and operation” offers an easy guide for
the series of procedures from making connections to playing a DVD.

• Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete
connections may result in noise.

• Noise or humming may be generated if a
connected audio equipment is used
independently without turning the power of
this unit on. If this happens, turn on the power
of the this unit.

• This system includes digital circuitry which
may cause interference such as color
blotching or changes in the color on TVs. If
this happens, move the system and the TV as
far apart as possible.

• Whenever the power operation switch is in
the STANDBY position, the unit is still
connected to AC line voltage.

• Please be sure to unplug the power supply
cord when you leave home for, e.g.,a
vacation, etc.

• After unplugging the power supply cord, wait
about 5 seconds before plugging it back in.

• Note that setting the connection cords (pin­plug cords etc.) next to the power supply
cords may result in humming or other noise.

MEMO

Cautions on connecting

With this unit’s speaker outputs, signals
with the reverse phase of the “+” side
output terminal’s signals are also output
from the “–” side output terminal.
Do not connect to a device for switching
between multiple speakers (a speaker
selector or audio channel selector) or
connect in ways other than described in this
manual. Doing so will result in damage.

Speaker system connections

Be sure to turn the amplifier’s power off
when connecting the speaker systems.

Use the included speaker cables to connect
the input terminals on the back of the
speaker systems to the amplifier’s speaker
output terminals. Connect the speaker
system for the left channel to the amplifier’s
“L” terminals, the one for the right channel
to the amplifier’s “R” terminals.

Protector circuit

This unit is equipped with a high-speed
protection circuit. The purpose of this circuit
is to protect the speakers under
circumstances such as when the output of
the power amplifier is inadvertently short­circuited and a large current flows, when the
temperature surrounding the unit becomes
unusually high, or when the unit is used at
high output over a long period which results
in an extreme temperature rise.
When the protection circuit is activated, the
speaker output is cut off and the power
supply indicator LED flashes. Should this
occur, please follow these steps: be sure to
switch off the power of this unit, check
whether there are any faults with the wiring
of the speaker cables or input cables, and
wait for the unit to cool down if it is very hot.
Improve the ventilation condition around the
unit and switch the power back on.
If the protection circuit is activated again
even though there are no problems with the
wiring or the ventilation around the unit,
switch off the power and contact a DENON
service center.

The protector circuit may be activated if the
set is played for long periods of time at high
volumes when speakers with an impedance
lower than the specified impedance (for
example speakers with an impedance of
lower than 4 Ω/ohms) are connected. If the
protector circuit is activated, the speaker
output is cut off. Turn off the set’s power,
wait for the set to cool down, improve the
ventilation around the set, then turn the
power back on.

Listening to recorded MP3
or WMA CD-R/CD-RW

• There are many music distribution sites on the internet from
which music files in MP3 format can be downloaded. Music
downloaded as instructed on the site and written onto a CD­R/CD-RW disc can be played on the S-101.

•If music recorded on commercially available music CDs is
converted on a computer into MP3 files using an MP3 encoder
(conversion software), the data on a 12 cm CD is reduced into
about 1/10 the amount of the original data. Thus, when written in
MP3 format, the data of about 10 music CDs can fit onto a single
CD-R/CD-RW disc. A single CD-R/CD-RW disc can contain over
100 tracks.

•Values when 5-minute tracks are converted with a standard bit
rate of 128 kbps into MP3 files and using a CD-R/CD-RW disc
with a capacity of 650 MB.

• This unit can play CD-R/CD-RW music files that have been
recorded in the WMA (Windows Media Audio)* audio
compression format.
*WMA (Windows Media Audio): Coding of Microsoft

Corporation (U.S.A.)

Windows Media, and the Windows logo are
trademarks, or registered trademarks of
Microsoft Corporation in the United States
and/or other countries.

• In the file display of the disc information screen, WMA files will
be displayed with the “WMA” icon instead of the “MP3” icon.
(Files for which the “WMA” icon is not displayed cannot be
played.)

• Uses of recordings you have made other than for your

personal enjoyment are not permitted under the Copyright
Law without permission of the copyright holder.

Load the CD-R/CD-RW disc on which the MP3
or WMA format music files have been written
into this unit. ( page 13)

• The disc information screen appears.

If there are multiple folders, proceed to step 2.
If there are no folders on the disc (if the disc only contains
MP3 or WMA files), proceed to step 3.
All the folders recorded on the disc are displayed. (The
folders are not displayed by layer.)

•Programmed playback is not possible with MP3/WMA discs.

• The S-101 is compatible with the “MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3”
standards (sampling frequency of 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz). It is not
compatible with such other standards as “MPEG-2 Audio Layer
3”, “MPEG-2.5 Audio Layer 3”, MP1, MP2, etc. WMA files
recorded with a sampling frequency (fs) of 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz
are supported.

• It may not be possible to play some CD-R/CD-RW discs due to
disc properties, dirt, warping, etc.

• In general, the higher an MP3 file’s bit rate, the better the
sound quality. On the S-101, we recommend using MP3 files
recorded with bit rates of 128 kbps or greater.

• Applicable bit rates: 32 to 320 kbps for MP3 files, 64 k to 160
kbps for WMA files.

• The digital signals output when playing MP3 files are MP3
signals converted into PCM, regardless of whether the audio
output presenting is set to “normal” or “PCM conversion”. The
signals are output with the same sampling frequency as that of
the music source.

• MP3/WMA files may not be played in the expected order, since
the writing software may change the position of the folders and
the order of the files when writing them on the CD-R/CD-RW.

• When writing MP3/WMA files on CD-R/CD-RW discs, select
“ISO9660 level 1” as the writing software format. This may not
be possible with some types of writing software. For details,
refer to the writing software’s usage instructions.

•With the S-101 it is possible to display folder names and file
names on the screen like titles. The S-101 can display up to 63
characters, consisting of numbers, capital letters, small letters
and the “_” (underscore) mark.

2 To return to the initial disc information screen

1

Press the 22button.

2

Press the CURSOR•button to select “ROOT”
at the upper right of the screen, then press the

ENTER button.

•If recorded in a format other than “ISO9660 level 1”, normal
display and playback may not be possible. In addition, folder
and file names including other symbols will not be displayed
properly.

• Be sure to add the extension “.MP3/WMA” to MP3/WMA files.
Files cannot be played if they have any extension other than
“.MP3/WMA” or if they have no extension. (with Macintosh
computers, MP3/WMA files can be played by adding the
extension “.MP3/WMA” after the file name consisting of up to
63 capital letters, small letters or numbers and recording the
files on the CD-R/CD-RW.)

• Do not apply stickers, tape, etc., to either the label side or the
signal side of CD-R/CD-RW discs. If adhesive gets on the
surface of a disc, the disc may get stuck inside the S-101 and
be impossible to eject.

• Copyright protected WMA files cannot be played. Also note
that depending on the writing software and conditions,
playback might not be possible, or the files might not be
displayed properly.

• While in the stop condition, the DISPLAY button of the remote
control can be used to switch and display the title names and
the artist names. (One folder has a capacity of up to 99 files.)

• Recorded discs with no more than 99 files per folder are
recommended. Multiple folder configurations are possible;
however, depending on the configuration, playback of all the
folders and files might not be possible.

• Multi-session discs and CD-R/CD-RW that have not been
finalized can also be played back; however, playback of discs
that have had session closure within 10 sessions or have been
finalized is recommended.

• Direct track selection using the NUMBER button on the remote
control unit can specify up to 999 tracks (999 files) per folder.

• When 999 tracks are exceeded, while the unit is stopped press
the CURSOR buttons at the disc information screen to select the
files, and press the 11button of the ENTER button to play.

• The MP3 ID3-Tag (Ver. 1, Ver. 2) function is compatible with title
and artist names.

• The WMA meta tag function is compatible with title, artist and
album names.

• The S-101 is not compatible with packet write software.

• The S-101 is not compatible with play lists.

• The S-101 is not compatible with MP3 PRO.
