Speaker Connections

Speaker Installation

The illustration below shows a basic example of installation of the amplifier combined with 8 speakers and a monitor.

Front speakers

Place the front speakers to the sides of the monitor or screen and as flush with the screen surface as possible.

The table below shows a typical speaker configuration for the AVR-3808CI.

When using just one surround back speaker, connect it to the left channel (SBL).

NOTE

By default, the AVR-3808CI's "Amp Assign" setting is set to "ZONE2". To use as the surround back speaker for the main zone, change the "Amp Assign" setting (12) page 68, 69).

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-3808CI, and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.

1 Peel off about 0.03ft / 10mm 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/ohms . When using surround A and B speakers simultaneously, use speakers with an impedance of 8 to 16/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.

The AVR-3808CI is equipped for HDMI version 1.3a. This version is compatible with other versions, allowing connection to all components equipped with an HDMI connector.
※ The AVR-3808CI is compatible with 30- and 36-bit Deep Color.

Compatible audio format	Details	Discs (examples)
2-channel linear PCM	2ch 32-192 kHz 16/20/24 bits	CD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio
Multi-channel linear PCM	8ch 32-192 kHz 16/20/24 bits	DVD-Audio
Dolby Digital, DTS	Bitstream	DVD-Video
DSD	2/5.1ch 2.8224 MHz 1 bit	SACD
Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD	Bitstream	HD DVD, Blu-ray Disc

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" (Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection).

HDCP is a copy protection technology consisting of data encoding and mutual identification of the devices.

The AVR-3808CI is HDCP-compatible. For details on the DVD player or monitor you are using, refer to its operating instructions.

NOTE

• Use a CPPM-compatible DVD player to play DVD-Audio discs that are copyright-protected by CPPM.
• The AVR-3808CI 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 (10 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-3808CI and DVD player are connected using an HDMI cable, also connect the AVR-3808CI 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.

• By default, the HDMI audio signals are output from the speakers connected to the AVR-3808CI.
• To output the sound from the TV, make the settings at GUI menu "Manual Setup" - "HDMI Setup" - "Audio" - "TV" (2 page 30).

Connecting the Monitor

Auto Setup

• This procedure lets you measure the acoustic properties of your speakers and listening room and make the optimum settings automatically.
• This function provides the optimum listening environment for all listening positions in a home theater where several people view or listen to the video or audio source simultaneously.

The measurements are performed by moving the setup microphone successively to the different positions where the family members sit within the listening area surrounded by the speakers, as shown in Example ①. For better results, we recommend making measurements in 6 or more positions.

Even if the home theater is only used by a small number of persons as shown in Example ②, measuring at points around the listening position results in more effective correction.

Example ①

Example ②

About the main listening position (*M)

The main listening position refers to the center of the listening position, or the place where you would sit to watch or listen when alone.

This position is used as the basis when measuring the distance of the speakers.

To set the listening environment manually to suit your tastes, see page 28, 29.

Preparations

1 Connect the included setup microphone to the SETUP MIC jack on the main unit.

The auto setup screen appears automatically.

2 Mount the setup microphone on a camera tripod, etc., and set it at the main listening position, with the sound receptor pointing towards the ceiling.

※ Adjust the height of the setup microphone's sound receptor so that it is at the height of the ears when listening.

When using a subwoofer with a setting function, make the following settings before starting the auto setup procedure:

Volume: "Center"
Crossover frequency: "Maximum"
- 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 and output the test tone.

Set as desired before starting the auto setup procedure.

If an error message appears during the measurements, check "Error messages", take the necessary countermeasures, then redo the measurements (10 page 27).

Configuration

The speaker system to be measured can be selected ahead of time here.

[Selectable items] 7.1(B) 7.1 5.1

NOTE

"Amp Assign" is initially set to "ZONE2", so "7.1 (B)" and "7.1" cannot be selected. To use "7.1 (B)" or "7.1", change the "Amp Assign" setting ( page 68 ~ 70).

Setting the speaker configuration reduces the time required to analyze the speakers during the auto setup procedure.

Amp Assign

Advanced setting : changes power amplifier assignment.

NOTE

The items selectable at "Config." differ according to the "Amp Assign" settings.

STEP1:Speaker Detect

The speaker connection status and the speaker polarities are detected at the main listening position. At this time, the listening environment with respect to the main listening position ("Speaker size check", "Distance correction", "Channel level adjustment", "Crossover frequency check" and "Room EQ correction") is measured automatically at the main listening position.

Once the measurements are completed, the results of the speaker connection are displayed.

NOTE

• Loud test tones are output during the measurements. Be careful when measuring at night or when there are small children nearby.
• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow obstacles between them while the measurements are being made. Obstacles will make it impossible to measure correctly.
• Keep as quiet as possible during measurements. Loud sounds in the area will make it impossible to measure correctly.
• 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: Measurements

The listening environment with respect to the listening position ("Speaker size check", "Crossover Frequency check" and "Room EQ correction") is measured automatically at positions 2 to 8.

Once a measurement is made, move the setup microphone to the next position.

Measure a total of at least 6 positions (main listening position and at least 5 other surrounding positions). Measurements can be completed even if only taken in 5 positions, but for better results we recommend taking them in 6 or more positions. (Measurements can be taken in a maximum of 8 positions.)

STEP3: Calculation

When "Calculate" is selected at "STEP2", the speaker system is analyzed automatically.

The time required for this analysis depends on the number of speakers connected. The more the number of speakers, the longer the time required for analysis.

STEP4: Check

Once the auto setup procedure is completed, a measuring result checking screen appears.

Select any item whose measuring results you want to check and check the results.

Values that are different from the actual distance may be set for speakers with built-in filters (subwoofoers, etc.).

STEP5: Store

The auto setup measurement results are stored.

NOTE

About the RESTORER function

• Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio) 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 bass 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" 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.

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

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.

Number of surround back speakers

We recommend using 2 speakers.

When using dipolar speakers in particular, be sure to use 2 speakers.

Placement of the surround left and right channels when using surround back speakers

We recommend installing the speakers for the surround "L" and "R" channels a bit forward.

Examples of speaker layouts

Below we introduce examples of speaker layouts. Refer to these to arrange your speakers according to their type and how you want to use them.

[1] Using surround back speaker(s)

① When mainly playing movies

Recommended when your surround speakers are single or 2-way speakers.

[As seen from above]

[As seen from the side]

② Setting for primarily watching movies using diffusion type speakers for the surround speakers

For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating speaker (monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the prime listening position, mounted above ear level.

Dolby Surround

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories.

A 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 a "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 Digital Plus

Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal format that is compatible with up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound and also improves sound quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance. It is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby Digital, so it offers greater flexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions of the playback equipment.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II 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 a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz 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 II matrix decoding technology.

Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural sound with up to 7.1-channels.

There are 3 modes: "Music" suited for playing music, "Cinema" suited for playing movies, and "Game" which is optimized for playing games.

About the RESTORER setting

ENGLISH

page 43

4 RESTORER

This function restores compressed audio signals to how they were before compression and corrects the sense of volume of the bass to obtain richer playback sound.

[Selectable items]

Mode1

Mode2

Mode3

Postscript

The default setting for "NET/USB" and "iPod" is "Mode3". All others are set to "OFF".

Operating from the main unit or main remote control unit

During playback, press the RESTORER button on the main unit or the RSTR button on the main remote control unit.

When set to something other than "OFF," "RESTOREA" is displayed.

About the RESTORER function

• Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio) 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 bass 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" or "NET/USB", or when analog signals (including AM/FM signals) or PCM signals (fs = 44.1/48 kHz) are input.
