Before using

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

- Moving the set

To prevent short-circuits or damaged wires in the connection cables, always unplug the power supply cord and disconnect the connection cables between all other audio components when moving the unit.

- Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are not problems with the connection cables. Always set the power switch to the standby position before connecting and disconnecting connection cables.

② Set two R03/AAA batteries in the battery compartment in the indicated direction.

③ Put the rear cover back on.

Notes on batteries:

• Replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not operate even when the remote control unit is operated nearby the unit. (The attached batteries are only for verifying operation.)
• When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper direction, following the "⊕" and "Θ" marks in the battery compartment.

• To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:

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

• Do not use two different types of batteries.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in flames.

10 Input indicator

The selected input is shown with an orange indicator.

SOURCE DIRECT switch

When set to "ON", the signals do not pass through the tone adjustment circuitry (bass, treble, balance and loudness), resulting in playback with higher sound quality.

When set to "■OFF", the sound can be adjusted to your tastes.

12 LOUDNESS switch

When listening with the volume turned low, set this to "ON" to amplify the bass and treble sound that is hard to hear when the volume is low and achieve a more natural sound.

13 SPEAKERS A/B switches

• When A (or B) is set to "ON", sound is produced from the speakers connected to the A (or B) speaker output terminals.
• When both A and B are set to "ON", sound is produced from the speakers connected to both the A and B speaker output terminals.
• When both A and B are set to "■OFF", no sound is produced from the speakers. Use this when listening over headphones.

Getting Started

• When the VOLUME control knob is set just beyond the "12 o'clock" position (over halfway), the adjustments that can be made with the BASS and TREBLE controls is decreased.
• When the VOLUME control knob is set to maximum or turned fully clockwise, the base and treble can no longer be adjusted.

Connections

Connecting the speakers

Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like polarities are matched ( with , with

Connecting the speaker cables

1. Loosen by turning counterclockwise.

Either tightly twist or terminate the core wires.

1. Insert the cable.
2. Tighten by turning clockwise.

NOTE:

When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors of the speaker cable come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other speaker cable conductors, or with the rear panel and screws.

NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shocks.

Speaker impedance

Use speakers with impedances within the ranges shown below according to their usage conditions.

Speakers used	Impedance
A or B only	4 ~ 16 Ω/ohms
Both A and B	8 ~ 16 Ω/ohms

Note on speaker impedance

When using speakers with an impedance below the designated value (for example 4 Ω/ohms), playing for long periods of time with the volume high could cause the temperature to rise, activating the protection circuit.

When the protection circuit is activated, the output to the speakers is cut off and the power indicator blinks. If this happens, unplug the power cord, wait for the set to cool off and improve ventilation around the unit. Also check the wiring of the input cables and the speaker cables. After doing this, plug the power cord back in and turn the unit's power back on. If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the unit, switch off the power and contact a DENON PROFESSIONAL service center.

Connecting the Audio Equipment

NOTE:

• Do not plug in the power supply cord until all connections have been completed.
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
• Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right).
• Do not bundle power cords together with speaker cables. Doing so could result in humming or noise.
• Do not turn up the volume when no turntable is connected to the PHONO input terminals. Doing so will cause humming or noise.

When not connecting a turntable, leave the included short-circuiting pin plug plugged in.

Cautions on playing SA sources:

When regular speakers not compatible with SA sources (DVD Audio discs, Super Audio CDs and other sources including treble components above the audible range), set the properties of the player (DVD Audio player, Super Audio CD player, etc.) for use with regular speakers (or amplifiers).

The speakers may be damaged if the volume is set too high when playing SA sources.

For instructions on setting the player, refer to the operating instructions included with the player.

Cable indications

The hookup diagrams on the subsequent pages assume the use of the following optional connection cables (not supplied).

Audio cable	Signal direction
Analog terminal (Stereo) (White) (Red) Pin-plug cable	Audio signal IN OUT OUT IN

Connecting Players and Speakers

• Only Turntables fitted with a MM (Moving Magnet) cartridge can be used with this unit. If you have an MC (Moving Coil) cartridge you will need to use a commercially available head amplifier or step-up transformer.
• If humming or other noise is generated when the ground wire is connected, disconnect it.

Connecting Recorders

Connecting the power supply cord

Connecting to the AC OUTLET

• SWITCHED (Total capacity: 100 W (0.43 A): The power supply to the outlets turns ON and OFF with the main unit's POWER switch. Make sure the total power consumption of the connected devices does not exceed 100W.

NOTE:

• Only use the AC OUTLET for audio equipment. Never use it for hair driers, TVs or other electrical appliances.
• Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections will result in the generation of noise.
