BEFORE USING

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

• Moving the set
To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in the
connection cords, always unplug the power cord
and disconnect the connection cords 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
cords. Always set the power switch to the standby
position before connecting and disconnecting
connection cords.

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 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.

For heat dispersal, leave at least 10 cm of space
between the top, back and sides of this unit
and the wall or other components.

• Store this instructions in a safe place.
After reading, store this instructions along with the
warranty in a safe place.

• Note that the illustrations in this instructions

may differ from the actual set for explanation
purposes.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

• Switching the input function when input jacks
are not connected

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

• Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and

SPEAKER terminals

The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jacks 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.

SPEAKER SYSTEM (SYS-500SD)

When installing, carefully examine the place and method of installation for safety.

When using a stand, brackets, etc., follow the instructions included with the stand or brackets and check for
safety before installing and using. Denon will accept no responsibility for damages or accidents caused by the
unit falling

.

Cautions on Installation

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

2 Note that placing the speaker system on the same

stand or shelf as a record player may result in
howling.

2 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.

2 The SYS-500SD speaker systems are of the low-

leakage-flux 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, 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
further away.

2 The center speaker (SC-C500SD) is equipped with

anti-slip pads upon shipment from the factory. If
necessary, however, also apply the included anti­slip pads (cork, approximately 2 mm thick).

When placing the satellite speaker system (SC-

2

A500SD) on a stand, etc., stick the included anti-slip
pads (cork, approximately 2 mm thick) at the four
corners of the bottom surface. (Refer to the
illustration below.)

[

Bottom of SC-A500SD

Stick the anti-slip pads (cork,
approximately 2 mm thick) here.

]

2 When mounting the satellite speaker system (SC-

A500SD) on a stand or bracket, M5 nuts are
inserted into the bottom of the satellite speaker
system (SC-A500SD) at intervals of 60 mm. When
mounting, following the instructions in the manual
included with the speaker stand or ceiling mount
bracket, and be sure to install properly and
securely.

2 When the satellite speaker system (SC-A500SD) is

mounted on a ceiling mount bracket, it is turned
upside down due to the installation angle. The
Denon mark is also turned upside down, so detach
the speaker net and reattach it in the opposite
direction.

CAUTION:

• 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.

WARNING:

• When installing the speaker systems on the
ceiling or 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.

Other Cautions

2 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.
Examples: (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.

2 Note that the illustrations in this instructions may differ from the actual set for explanation purposes.
2 Be sure to keep the operating instructions.

After reading these operating instructions, store them in a safe place. We also recommend filling in the
necessary items on the back cover.

Stick the anti-slip pads (cork,
approximately 2 mm thick) here.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING DISCS

Discs

Only the discs including the marks shown on page 5
can be played on the ADV-500SD.
Note, however, that discs with special shapes (heart­shaped discs, hexagonal discs, etc.) cannot be played
on the ADV-500SD. Do not attempt to play such discs,
as they may damage the player.

Holding Discs

Avoid touching the surface of discs when loading and
unloading them.

Be careful not to get
fingerprints on the signal
surface (the side which
shines in rainbow colors).

Cleaning Discs

Fingerprints or dirt on the disc may lower sound and

2

picture quality or cause breaks in playback. Wipe off
fingerprints or dirt.
Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a

2

soft cloth to wipe off fingerprints or dirt.

Wipe gently from the
middle outwards.

NOTE:

• Do not use record spray or antistatic. Also do not
use volatile chemicals such as benzene or
thinner.

Do not wipe with a
circular motion.

Cautions on Handling Discs

• Do not get fingerprints, grease or dirt on discs.

• Be especially careful not to scratch discs when
removing them from their cases.

• Do not bend discs.

• Do not heat discs.

• Do not enlarge the center hole.

• Do not write on the labeled (printed) side with a ball­point pen or a pencil.

• Water droplets may form on the surface if the disc
is moved suddenly from a cold place to a warm one.
Do not use a hairdryer, etc., to dry the disc.

Cautions on Storing Discs

• Always eject discs after playing them.

• Keep discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches and warping.

• Do not put discs in the following places:

1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods

of time

2. Humid or dusty places

3. Places exposed to heat from heaters, etc.

Cautions on Loading Discs

• Only load one disc at a time. Loading one disc on
top of another may result in damage or scratch the
discs.

• Load 8 cm discs securely in the disc guide, without
using an adapter. If the disc is not properly loaded,
it may slip out of the guide and block the disc tray.

• Be careful not to let your fingers get caught when
the disc tray is closing.

• Do not place anything but discs in the disc tray.

• Do not load cracked or warped discs or discs that
have been fixed with adhesive, etc.

• Do not use discs on which the adhesive part of
cellophane tape or glue used to attach the label is
exposed, or discs with traces of tape or labels that
have been peeled off. Such discs may get stuck
inside the player, resulting in damage.

Speaker Connections

CAUTION:

To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-level signal, be sure to switch the power off before
connecting the speakers.

• The ADV-500SD's red speaker terminals are the “+” (positive) terminals and the black terminals are the “–”
(negative) terminals.

• The “+” side of the speaker cable is marked to make it distinguishable from the “–” side of the cable.
Connect this marked side to the red “+” terminal and the unmarked side to the black terminal.

• Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping off approximately 10 mm or less (no more as this could
cause a short-circuit) of the outer insulation.
Twist the wires tightly together so that they are not straggly.

How to connect

Press the lever, insert the stripped and twisted end
(approx. 3/8") of the cord, then release the lever :

Make sure it is fastened securely by pulling the cord
lightly.

CAUTION:

The metal portions of the two separate wires
should not touch or an electrical short can occur.
Shorted wires can create a fire hazard or induce
a failure in your equipment.

Connection the speaker terminals

1. Push the lever. 2. Insert the cord. 3. Return the lever.

Positioning of the Speakers

The positioning of speakers differs according to the
size and acoustics of the listening room. While
actually listening to a program source, try various
speaker positions to determine which layout
provides the best surround effect.

Place the speakers connected to “L” to your left,
and “R” to your right.

A

Front speakers (SC-A500SD)

Place the front speakers in front of the listening
position, to the left and right of a TV.

Front speakers are required for all surround modes.

B

Center speaker (SC-C500SD)

Place a center speaker between the front speakers,
on or below the TV. This speaker stabilize the sound
image.

C

Surround speakers (SC-A500SD)

Install these speakers above the level of the
listener's ears, to the left and right.

Do not install the surround speakers too far behind
the listening position. It might be effective to direct
the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further

disperse the sound.

D

Passive Subwoofer (DSW-500SD)

Reproduces powerful and deep bass sounds.
Subwoofers are most effective when placed on or

near the floor and in a corner of the room. Refer to
the instructions that came with your subwoofer for
placement suggestions.

E

Surround back speakers (SURR. BACK SP.)

If you add the Surround back speaker(s), you can
enjoy 6.1 ch surround sound or 7.1 ch surround
sound. (ex: DOLBY DIGITAL EX, DOLBY PRO LOGIC
IIx, DTS ES, DTS NEO 6, etc.)

Place the speaker behind of the listening position.

(3) Connecting Antennas

A

AM Indoor Loop Antenna

The high-performance AM loop antenna provided
with this unit is sufficient for good reception in most
areas.
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw
to the slot.
Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna
terminals as shown.
(Connect the white wire to the upper terminal, and
the black wire to the lower terminal.)

Place the antenna on a shelf, for example, or hang it
on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives
the best reception, as far away as possible from the
entire system, speaker cords and the power cord, to
prevent unwanted noise.

If there is no room for the AM loop antenna, you may
mount it on the wall using screws (not supplied).

AM Antenna

B

AM Outdoor Antenna

If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver
sufficient reception (often due to being too far from
the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may
be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna.
Use an insulated wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long,
strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as
shown.
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or
indoors near a window. For better reception, connect
the GND terminal to a reliable ground.

Note:

Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not
disconnect the AM loop antenna.

Notes on Batteries

• Use R6P/AA batteries in the remote control unit.

• The batteries should be replaced with new ones approximately once a year, though this depends on the

frequency of usage.

• Even if less than a year has passed, replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not operate even

when the remote control unit is operated nearby the set. (The included battery is only for verifying
operation. Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.)

• When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper direction, following the < and > marks in the

battery compartment.

• To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:

• Do not use a new battery together with an old one.

NOTE:

• Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the
actual size of the speaker but according to the
speaker’s capacity for playing low frequency
(approximately 100 Hz and below) signals. If you
do not know, try comparing the sound at both
settings (setting the volume to a level low
enough so as not to damage the speakers) to
determine the proper setting.

Parameters

LARGE…Select this when using speakers that can

fully reproduce low sounds of below 100
Hz.

SMALL…Select this when using speakers that do

not provide sufficient volume for playing
low frequencies of 100 Hz and less.
When this setting is made, frequencies
below the frequency set at the
subwoofer frequency setting are
assigned to the subwoofer.

NONE… Select this when no speakers are

installed.

YES/NO. Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is

installed, “No” when a subwoofer is not
installed.

If the subwoofer has sufficient low frequency
playback capacity, good sound can be achieved
even when “Small” is set for the front, center
and surround speakers.

For the majority of speaker system
configurations, using the SMALL setting for all
five main speakers and Subwoofer On with a
connected subwoofer will yield the best results.

SURR. BACK

BACK/SUBWOOFER speaker terminals.

Subwoofer frequency (SW FREQ.)

• For the subwoofer frequency at the speaker
setting screen, set the bass crossover frequency
for playback from the subwoofer.

• Select “80 Hz”, “100 Hz” “120 Hz” or “150 Hz”
(–6 dB for each). Bass sound below these
frequencies is played from the subwoofer.
(This is set to “150 Hz” by factory default.)

Assignment of low frequencies

• In the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS, and
virtual surround modes, the low frequency
signals for channels whose speaker settings are
set to “Small” are assigned to the subwoofer.
The low frequencies of channels set to “Large”
are played from those channels.
(If set to “120 Hz”, channels set to “Small” play
sounds of 120 Hz and greater, while bass
frequencies of under 120 Hz are played from the
subwoofer.)

• In surround modes other than the ones listed
above, low frequencies below the frequency set
at the subwoofer frequency setting are played
from the subwoofer regardless of whether the
speakers are set to “Large” or “Small”.

• Set the subwoofer frequency according to the
low frequency playback abilities of your speakers
and subwoofer.

Subwoofer mode (SW MODE)

• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when
“LARGE” is set for the front speakers and
“YES” is set for the subwoofer in the “SPEAKER
CONFIGURATION” settings.

• When the “LFE+MAIN” playback mode is
selected, the low frequency signal range of
channels set to “LARGE” are produced
simultaneously from those channels and the
subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range
expand more uniformly through the room, but
depending on the size and shape of the room,
interference may result in a decrease of the
actual volume of the low frequency range.

• Selection of the “LFE ” play mode will play the
low frequency signal range of the channel
selected with “LARGE” from that channel only.
Therefore, the low frequency signal range that
are played from the subwoofer channel are only
the low frequency signal range of LFE (only
during Dolby Digital or DTS signal playback) and
the channel specified as “SMALL” in the setup
menu.

• Select the play mode that provides bass
reproduction with body.

• When the subwoofer is set to “YES”, bass
sound is output from the subwoofer regardless
of the subwoofer mode setting in surround
modes other than Dolby/DTS.

DOLBY DIGITAL/DTS/DOLBY PRO LOGIC II (PRO
LOGIC IIx) mode to function, and a Back Surround
speaker is needed for the HALL, CINEMA,
CONCERT, DTS NEO: 6, DTS ES and DOLBY
DIGITAL EX mode to function.

DOLBY DIGITAL EX

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been
encoded with Dolby Digital surround EX technology
are able to reproduce an extra channel which has
been added during the mixing of the program.
This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds
behind the listener in addition to the currently
available front left, front center, front right, surround
right, surround left and subwoofer channels.
This additional channel provides the opportunity for
more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings
more depth, spacious ambience and sound
localization than ever before.
Dolby Digital EX is not available in the system without
surround back speaker(s).

DTS MODE(Dts, Neo:6 Cinema, Neo:6 Music)

This mode is for DTS encoded source materials such
as LASER DISC, CD, and DVD. Neo:6 is to some 2
channel signal source.

DTS :

This mode is enabled when playing source
materials encoded in DTS multi channel.
Playing multi-channel encoded 5.1 - channel DTS
sources provides five main audio channels (left,
center, right, surround left and surround right ) and
Low Frequency Effect channel.
DTS-ES decoding is not available in this mode.
The DTS mode cannot use when an analog input
has been selected.

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multi-channel
digital signal format developed by Digital Theater
Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility with
the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-ES
Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree
surround impression and space expression thanks to
further expanded surround signals. This format has
been used professionally in movie theaters since

1999.
In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C,
SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround also
offers the SB (Surround Back) channel for surround
playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES
Extended Surround includes two signal formats with
different surround signal recording methods, as DTS­ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1.

“DTS”, “DTS-ES”, “Neo:6” and “DTS 96/24” are
trademarks of Digital Theater Systems, Inc.

NEO: 6 Cinema, NEO:6 Music
This mode decodes 2-channel signals into 6-channel
signals using high-accuracy digital matrix technology.
The DTS NEO:6 decoder has near-discrete properties
in the frequency characteristics of the channels as

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II (PRO LOGIC IIx)
SURROUND

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II brings the excitement of
surround sound to any stereo mix, while making
existing Dolby Surround mixes sound more like
discrete 5.1 channels Surround sound.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx is an extension of DOLBY
PRO LOGIC II technology. This highly sophisticated
algorithm processes native stereo and 5.1-channel
content to produce 6.1 or 7.1 output channels. And
DOLBY PRO LOGIC IIx is not available in the system
without surround Back Speaker(s).

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II (PRO LOGIC IIx) has below 3
modes.

Note :

• DOLBY PRO LOGIC II (PRO LOGIC IIx) will not
work on monaural source.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II (PRO LOGIC IIx) MUSIC

The Music mode creates a rich and enveloping

surround ambience.......delivered to the subwoofer,

optimizing the visceral of panned rear effects. This
mode can only be used with 2-channel audio sources.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II (PRO LOGIC IIx) CINEMA

The CINEMA mode is optimized for movies or
programs with Dolby Surround soundtracks. This
mode is also appropriate for use with video game.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC II (PRO LOGIC IIx) GAME

The Game mode was implemented to ensure that the
bass impact from pure surround effects are fully

delivered to the subwoofer, optimizing the visceral of
panned rear effects. This mode can only be used with
2-channel audio sources.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

This mode emulated original Dolby Pro Logic
decoding.(3/1 surround) Suit for Dolby Surround
encoded stereo movie soundtracks. This mode is
available in the system without surround speaker(s).

well as in channel separation.
According to the signals to by played back, DTS
NEO:6 uses either the NEO:6 CINEMA mode
optimized for movie playback or the NEO:6 MUSIC
mode optimized for music playback.

Notes :

• Neo:6 mode is available to 2ch input signal which
