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 mounding of the product should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Curocor 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 B10 of the National Electrical Code, ANSINFPA 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.
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.
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.
Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
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.
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.
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.

ZONE2 speakers
ZONE2
When using just one surround back speaker, connect it to the left channel (SBL).
NOTE
By default, the AVR-4308CI's "Amp Assign" setting is set to "ZONE2", so sound is not output simply by connecting a speaker to the surround back terminal. To use as the surround back speaker for the main zone, either turn the ZONE2 power off or change the "Amp Assign" setting (17 page 73, 74).
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 AVR-4308CI, and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
1 Peel off about 0.03 ft/10 mm of sheathing from the tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.
2 Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.
3 Insert the speaker cable's core wire to the hilt into the speaker terminal.
4 Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.
When using a banana plug
Tighten the speaker terminal firmly before inserting the banana plug.
NOTE
Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. When using surround A and B speakers simultaneously, use speakers with an impedance of 8 to 16 Ω/ohms.
Connect the speaker cables in such a way that they do not stick out of the speaker terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and - sides touch each other (“Protection circuit”).
Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.
Protection circuit
If speakers with an impedance lower than specified (for example 4 Ω/ohms speakers) are used for an extended period of time with the volume turned up high, the temperature may rise, activating the protection circuit.
When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is shut off and the power indicator flashes red. If this happens, unplug the power cord, then check the speaker cable and input cable connections. If the set is extremely hot, wait for it to cool off and improve ventilation around it. Once this is done, plug the power cord back in and turn the set's power back on.
If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems in the ventilation around the set nor in the connections, the set may be damaged. Turn the power off, then contact a DENON service center.
Connecting Equipment with HDMI connectors
With HDMI connections, the video and audio signals can be transferred with a single cable.

Copyright protection system (HDCP)
In order to play the digital video and audio signals of a DVD-Video or DVD-Audio disc using HDMI/DVI connections, both the connected DVD player and monitor must be equipped for a copyright protection system called "HDCP" (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
HDCP is a copy protection technology consisting of data encoding and mutual identification of the devices.
The AVR-4308CI is HDCP-compatible. For details on the DVD player or monitor you are using, refer to its operating instructions.
By default, the HDMI audio signals are output from the speakers connected to the AVR-4308CI.
To output the sound from the TV, make the settings at GUI menu "Manual Setup" - "HDMI Setup" - "Audio" - "TV" (page 30).
NOTE
Use a CPPM-compatible DVD player to play DVD-Audio discs that are copyright-protected by CPPM.
• The AVR-4308CI cannot be controlled from another device via the HDMI cable.
The audio signals output from the HDMI connector (sampling frequency, bit rate, etc.) may be restricted by the connected device.
Video signals are not output properly when using devices that are not HDCP-compatible.
Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the monitor's resolution. In this case, switch the DVD player's resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is compatible.
If the GUI menu "Manual Setup" - "HDMI Setup" - "Audio" setting (12 page 30) is set to "Amp," the sound may be interrupted when the monitor's power is turned off.
Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI product) for connection to the HDMI connector. Normal playback may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certified product).
If the monitor or DVD player does not support deep color, deep color signal transfer is not possible.
If the monitor or DVD player does not support xvYCC, xvYCC signal transfer is not possible.
If the monitor does not support "Auto Lipsync Correction" function, this function will not work.
When the AVR 4308CI and DVD player are connected using an HDMI cable, also connect the AVR-4308CI and monitor using an HDMI cable.
If the connected monitor or DVD player only has a DVI-D connector, use an HDMI/DVI converter cable. When using a DVI cable, no audio signals are transmitted.
Use a Deep Color compatible cable for connection to Deep Color compatible devices.
When connecting with an HDMI/DVI converter cable (adapter)
HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI format.
When connecting to a monitor, etc., equipped with a DVI-D connector, connection is possible using an HDMI/DVI converter cable, but depending on the combination of components in some cases the video signals will not be output.
When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video signals may not be output properly due to poor connections with the connected cable, etc.
Connecting the Monitor
Connect the cables to be used (page 8 "Video Conversion Function").
With HDMI connections, the video and audio signals can be transferred with a single cable.
To output the audio signals to the monitor with HDMI connections, set GUI menu "Manual Setup" - "HDMI Setup" - "Audio" to "TV" (page 30).

□ Broadband Internet connection
A broadband line connection to the Internet is required in order to use the AVR-4308CI's Internet radio function and firmware update.
Modem
This is a device that is connected to the broadband line to communicate with the Internet. Some are integrated with the router.
Router
When using the AVR-4308CI, we recommend you use a router equipped with the following functions:
Built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server
This function automatically assigns IP addresses on the LAN.
· Built-in 100 BASE-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.
☐ Ethernet cable (CAT-5 or greater recommended)
Use for wired LAN.
• The AVR-4308CI does not come with an Ethernet cable.
- Some flat type Ethernet cables are easily affected by noise.
We recommend using a normal type cable.
- If the sound is broken in an environment in which there is much power supply noise from electric products or in a noisy network environment, use a shielded type Ethernet cable.
Computer
A computer with the following specifications is required to use a music server:
• OS
Windows® XP Service Pack2, Windows Vista
- Software (Prepare one of the following.)
. .NET Framework 1.1 and Windows Media Connect (Windows XP)
- Windows Media Player ver.11
DLNA-compatible server software

For connections to the Internet, contact an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or a computer shop.
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.
Depending on the server, video files may be displayed, but they cannot be played on the AVR-1308CI.
□ Others
If you have an Internet provider contract for a line on which network settings are made manually, make the settings at GUI menu "Manual Setup" - "Network Setup" (page 32 \~ 35).
With the AVR 4308CI, it is possible to use the DHCP and Auto IP functions to make the network settings automatically.
When using a broadband router (DHCP function), the AVR-4308CI sets the IP address, etc., automatically.
When using the AVR-4308CI connected to a network with no DHCP function, make the settings for the IP address, etc.. at GUI menu: "Manual Setup" – "Network Setup" (GB page 32 - 35).
The AVR-4308CI is not compatible with PPPoE. A PPPoE-compatible router is required if you have a contract for a line of the type with which the PPPoE is set.
Depending on the ISP with which you have your contract, it may be necessary to make proxy server settings to use the Internet radio function. If you made proxy server settings on the computer to connect to the Internet, make the proxy server settings on the AVR-4308CI in the same way.

Audyssey MultEQ® XT automatically measures the acoustical problems in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for your home theater.
It optimizes a large listening area where one or more listeners are seated.
Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone (DM-A505Z) successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as shown in Example ①. For best results, it is strongly recommended to measure 6 or more positions so that the measurements have the proper spatial weighting.
Even if the listening environment is small as shown in Example (2), measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

About the main listening position (\*M)
The main listening position refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. MultEQ XT uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.
To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 2B - 30.
Preparations
1 Connect the included calibrated setup microphone to the SETUP MIC jack on the main unit.
The auto setup screen appears automatically.

Setup
microphone
※ It is not recommended to hold it in your hand. Be sure that the path from microphone to the speakers is not blocked by objects. Avoid placing the microphone close to a seat back or wall as sound reflections may give inaccurate results.
When using a subwoofer, make the following settings before starting the auto setup procedure:
Defeat the volume and crossover controls if possible
If this is not possible then set
• Volume: "12 o'clock" position
• Crossover frequency: "Maximum/Highest Frequency"
Low pass filter: "Off"
Standby mode: "Off"
NOTE
Do not disconnect the setup microphone until the auto setup procedure is completed.
When using headphones, unplug the headphones before starting the auto setup procedure.

Start
Start Auto Setup.
The Audyssey MultEQ XT Auto Setup process automatically calculates the size, level, distance, bass management crossover frequency, and optimal settings for each speaker and subwoofer. Audyssey MultEQ XT corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.
Before starting, connect and position all your speakers.
Once started, MultEQ XT will play a series of test tones through each speaker.
If an error message appears during the measurements, check "Error Messages" (28 page 27), take the advised action, then start the measurements again.
Configuration
The speaker system to be measured can be selected ahead of time here.
[Selectable items] 7.1 (B) 7.1 5.1
Setting the correct speaker configuration can reduce the time required to measure during the auto setup procedure as the system will not have to look for speakers that are not connected.
Amp Assign
Advanced setting : changes power amplifier assignment.
NOTE
The items selectable at "Config." differ according to the "Amp Assign" settings.
STEP1: Speaker Detection
The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the first measurement position. The following attributes are also determined at this time: "Speaker Size", "Speaker Distance", "Channel Level", "Crossover Frequency".
Once the measurements are completed, the results are displayed.
NOTE
Loud test tone may be played during Audyssey MultEQ XT Automatic Speaker Setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test tones will increase in volume.
Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This will cause inaccurate readings.
Quiet the listening environment before beginning measurements and refrain from talking. Turn off air conditioning units or other devices that emit noise if at all possible as measurements may be affected by these sounds.
Operating the MASTER VOLUME knob on the main unit or the VOL +/- buttons on the remote control unit during the measurements will cancel the measurements.
Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after "STEP1."
STEP2: Measurement
After completing a measurement position, move the microphone to the next position.
Measure at least 6 positions (main listening position and at least 5 other surrounding positions). For best results it is recommend measuring 6 or more positions (with a maximum of 8 positions).
STEP3: Calculation
When "Calculate" is selected at "STEP2", the measurements taken are analyzed automatically to determine how the speaker system interacts with the room.
The time required for this analysis depends on the number of speakers connected. The higher the number of speakers, the longer the time required for analysis.
STEP4: Check
Once the auto setup procedure is complete, a measuring result check screen appears.
Select any item whose results you want to check to review the results.
Values that are different from the actual distance may be set for speakers with built-in filters (subwoofers, etc.). This is because filters add electrical delay to the signal that should be compensated.
STEP5: Store
The auto setup measurement results are stored in the AVR-4308CI.
NOTE
Do not turn the power off while the settings are being stored.
Error Messages
If the auto setup procedure could not be completed due to speaker installation, the measuring environment, etc., an error message is displayed. If this happens, check the relevant items, be sure to take the necessary measures, then perform the auto setup procedure over again.

If you are using a broadband router (DHCP function), there is no need to make the settings at "Setting the IP Address" and "Setting the Proxy", since the DHCP function is set to "ON" in the AVR-4308CI's default settings.
If the AVR-4308CI is being used connected to a network without the DHCP function, the network settings must be made. In this case, some knowledge of networks is required. For details, consult a network administrator.
If you cannot connect to the Internet, recheck the connections and settings (37 page 20).
If you do not understand about Internet connection, contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or the store from which you purchased your computer.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
These are systems by which the IP address and other network settings are automatically set for the AVR-4308CI, computer, broadband router and network devices.
• DNS (Domain Name System)
This is a system for converting the domain names used when browsing Internet sites (for example, "www.denon.jp") into the IP addresses actually used for communications (for example, "202.221.192.106").

About the RESTORER function
Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audiol and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating signal components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The RESTORER function generates the signals eliminated upon compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those of the original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of volume of the base to obtain richer sound with compressed audio signals.
This is displayed on the GUI menu and can be set when the input source is set to "XM", "HD Radio" or "NET/USB", or when analog signals (including AM/FM signals) or PCM signals (fs = 44.1/48 kHz) are input.

About Speaker Installation
Surround back speakers
Sound positioning directly to the rear can be achieved easily by adding a surround back speaker to a 5.1-channel system.
In addition, the acoustic image extending between the sides and the rear is narrowed, thus greatly improving the expression of the surround signals for sounds moving from the sides to the back and from the front to the point directly behind the listening position.

Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors.
Enables increased contrast ratio.
Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white.
At 30-bit pixel depth, a four times improvement would be the minimum, and the typical improvement would be eight times or more.
xvYCC
Next-generation "xvYCC" color space supports 1.8 times as many colors as existing HDTV signals.
Lets HDTV's display colors more accurately.
Enables displays with natural, vivid colors.
Lip Sync
Because consumer electronics devices are using increasingly complex digital signal processing to enhance the clarity and detail of the content, synchronization of video and audio in user devices has become a greater challenge and could potentially require complex end-user adjustments. HDMI 1.3 incorporates an automatic video/audio synching capability that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with total accuracy.

About Wireless LAN
Wi-Fi®
Wi-Fi Certification assures tested and proven interoperability by the Wi-Fi Alliance, a group certifying interoperability among wireless LAN devices.
IEEE 802.11b
This is one wireless LAN standard set by the 802 working group that establishes LAN technology standards at the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) of the United States. It uses the 2.4 GHz band usable freely without a radio frequency license (ISM band), enabling communications at a maximum speed of 11 Mbps.
The value indicated above is the maximum theoretical value for the wireless LAN standard, and does not indicate the actual data transfer rate.
IEEE 802.11g
This is another wireless LAN standard set by the 802 working group that establishes LAN technology standards at the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) of the United States, and is compatible with IEEE 802.11b. It also uses the 2.4 GHz band, but enables communications at a maximum speed of 54 Mbps.
The value indicated above is the maximum theoretical value for the wireless LAN standard, and does not indicate the actual data transfer rate.
Infrastructure Communications
"Infrastructure Communications" refers to networks using wireless LAN access points.
This function can be used to connect to the Internet or a wired LAN via a wireless LAN access point. Wireless LAN access points include wireless broadband routers.
Ad-hoc Communications
Signal transfer through wireless interconnection of computers is referred to as "ad hoc communications". With such ad hoc communications there is no connection to the Internet. Ad hoc communications are suited for establishing simple temporary networks.
Network Names (SSID: Security Set Identifier)
When forming wireless LAN networks, groups are formed to prevent interference, data theft, etc. This grouping is done by "SSID" or "Security Set Identifiers." For further security, a WEP key is set and signal transfer is not possible unless the SSID and WEP key match.
WEP Key (Network Key)
This is key information used for encrypting data when conducting data transfer. On the AVR-4308CI, the same WEP key is used for data encryption and decryption, so the same WEP key must be set on both devices in order for communications to be established between them.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
This is a security standard established by the Wi-Fi Alliance. In addition to the conventional SSID (network name) and WEP key (network key), it also uses a user identification function and encrypting protocol for stronger security.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)
This is a new version of the WPA established by the Wi-Fi Alliance, compatible with more secure AES encryption.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (Pre-shared Key)
This is a simple authentication system for mutual authentication when a preset character string matches on the wireless LAN access point and client.
Passphrase
This refers to the code key used for WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK authentication, a WPA authentication method.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
This is a network key used for WPA. The encryption algorithm is RC4, the same as for WEP, but the security level is increased by changing the network key used for encryption for each packet.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
This is a next generation standard encryption method replacing the current DES and 3DES, and because of its high security it is expected to be applied widely to wireless LANs in the future. It uses the "Rijndael" algorithm developed by two Belgian cryptographers to divide the data into blocks of fixed lengths and encrypt each block. It supports data lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits and key lengths of 128, 192 and 256 bits as well, offering extremely high encryption security.
