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. Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it. Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the hilt into the speaker terminal. Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it. SSS —1: Protection circuit If the core wires touch the rear panel and the screws etc., or the + sides touch each other, the protection circuit will be activated and the power indicator will flash red at intervals of 0.5 secs If the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is isolated, and the power supply goes to the standby state. If the power supply is turned off, after the power supply cord is withdrawn, please confirm that speaker cable and input cable are connected. Also, if replaying large sound levels by using à speaker having an impedance less than that specified (eg, 4 M/ohms), the temperature will rise, and the protection circuit might be activated. The power supply will go into the standby state, and the power indicator will flash red at 2 second intervals. In this case, please switch off the power supply, and wait until the AVR-1709 has cooled down, and the surrounding ventilation is good! Even if there are no problems with the surround- ing ventilation and connections, in the event of the protection cireuit becoming activated, due to thinking that the AVR-1709 has failed, please con- tact DENON Service center after switching off.

+ The audio and video signals input to the AVR-1709's HDMI input connector are output unchanged from the HDMI output connector. Because of this, the sound is output from the monitor connected using the HDMI connectors, but in order to take full advantage of the AVR-1709's playback sound, turn the TV's volume down + 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 à 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 e 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.

To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 23 - 25 Preparations Press <SPEAKERS> to select the front speakers Front A, Front B or Front A+B. 2 Set “Amp Assign” to define how the amplifier for the surround back speaker channels is used (IÆ page 28). Connect the included calibrated setup microphone to <SETUP MIC>. “Auto Set Start” is displayed: Sound receptor Place the microphone at ear height on a tripod or stand with the microphone pointing directly up towards the ceiling. % Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements: 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 à 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"

Ifthere is background noise in room, these test signals 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 + Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may be affected by these sounds. Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in use). + Operating MASTER VOLUME during the measurements will cancel the measurements About the Auto Setup The Audyssey MultEQ auto setup function detects the presence of each speaker and automatically calculates the speaker size, channel level, distance, and optimal crossover frequency setting. Audyssey MuitEQ corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area Before starting, connect and position all of your speakers Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through each speaker.

If an error message appears during the measurements, check "Error Messages”, take the advised action, then start the measurements again (page 21) (Step 1 : Speaker Dete n ) The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the first measurement position {main listening position).

ENGLISH Other Information About Speaker Installation Surround back speakers Sound positioning directly to the rear can be achieved easily by adding à 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: Change of positioning and acoustic image with 5.1-channel systems Movement of acoustic image from SR to SL Change of positioning and acoustic image with 6.1-channel systems non! Movement of acoustic image from SR to SB to SL In addition to sources recorded in 6.1-channels, the surround effect of conventional 2- to 5.1-channel sources can also be enhanced

Dolby Surround Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories. À total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels ("FL' , "FR” and “C"), 2 surround channels ("SL’ and "SR") and the "LFE” channel for low frequencies Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic sound field with à "three-dimensional” feeling (sense of distance, movement and positioning) is achieved A real, overpowering sense of presence is achieved when playing movie sources in AV rooms as well Dolby Pro Logic Il Dolby Pro Logic Il is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5-channels to achieve an excellent surround effect The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band signals (with à frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to create a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich sense of presence for all stereo sources Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic Il matrix decoding technology. Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural sound with up to 1-channels. There are 3 modes: “Music” suited for playing music, "Cinema" suited for playing movies, and “Game” which is optimized for playing games.
