Manual

• These jacks are for inputting multi-channel audio signaEs from an outboard decoder, or a component with a
different type of multi-channel decoder, such as a DVD Audio player, or a multi-channel SACD playec or other
future multi-channel sound format decoder
• When making connections, aEso refer to the operat ng instructions of the other components

• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers
making sure that like polarities are matched (_)
with _, O with O ) Mismatching of polarities will
resuk i+1weak central sound, U+lclear orientation of
the various i+lStruments, and the sense of direction
of the stereo being mpaired
• When making connections, take care that no+le of
the individual CO+ldUCtOrsof the speaker cord come
in contact with adjacent terminals, with other
speaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel
NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the
power is on+
Doing so could result in electric shocks.
Speaker Impedance
• Speakers with an impeda+lce of from 6 to 16
£2/uhms can be connected for use as front and
center speakers
• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 _)./ohms
can be connected for use as surround and surround
back speakers
• Be careful when using two pairs of surround
speakers (A + B) at the same time, snce use of
speakers with an impedance of less than 8 £_/ohms
will lead to damage
• 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 are connected

• If another pre-main (integrated) amplifier or power amplifier is connectedr the multi-source jacks can be used
to play a different program source in another room at the same time
• This unit s equipped with a high-speed protectio+l circuit The purpose of this circuit is to protect the
speakers under circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently shor_-
circuited and a large current flOWSr when the temperature surround ng 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 t s very hot Improve the ventilation cond tion around the unit and switch the power back on
If the protection circuit is activated again even though theEe are no problems with the wiring or the
vent ]ation 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 Io+lg periods of time at high volumes when
speakers with an impedance IoweE than the specified mpedance {for example speakers with an
impedance of IoweE than 4 _/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
