CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this unit or
any other electronic equipment using microprocessors is used near a
tuner or TV.
If this happens, take the following steps:
Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV.
Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit’s
power cord and input/output connection cords.
Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor
antennas or 300 /ohms feeder wires. We recommend using
outdoor antennas and 75 /ohms coaxial cables.
For heat dispersal, leave at least 0.3 ft (10 cm) of space between
the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other compo-
nents.
Switching the input function when input jacks are not
connected
A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched
when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens,
either turn down the VOLUME control or connect components to
the input jacks.
Muting of PRE OUT jacks
The PRE OUT jacks include a muting circuit. Because of this, the
output signals are greatly reduced for several seconds after the
power operation switch is turned on.
If the volume is turned up during this time, the output will be very
high after the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait until
the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume.
Whenever the power operation switch is in the STANDBY
state, the apparatus is still connected on some AC line
voltages.
Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for,
say, a vacation.

FEATURES
1. Multi Room Music Entertainment System
Multi Source Function:
This unit’s Multi Source function lets you select different audio
or video sources for viewing or listening Different sources can
thus be enjoyed in the main room and the subroom
simultaneously. Playback of single audio/video source that
differs from the Main Room is permitted in the two rooms, sub
room (ZONE 2) and sub room (ZONE 3). The signals output to
ZONE 2 and ZONE 3 can each be switched on and off
independently. Independent volume control is also permitted.
This novel feature gives you considerable flexibility when
setting up and enjoying your system with this unit. The output
level, adjustable by the remote commander, is as much as 1V,
enough to operate the optional power amplifier placed in a
subroom.
2. Powerful, Versatile Amplifier
High-Quality Power Amplifier:
High-speed, high-power transistors employed in a rational
circuit configuration reflect DENON’S advanced amplifier
technology and ensure a very hefty, clean power output.
3. Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC)
The circuits handling low-level and high-level signals have been
divided into separate blocks to ensure that influences from these
signals on each other are held to an absolute minimum. This
chassis design in this unit is called the Signal Level Divided
Construction (SLDC). Signals for output are cleaner than before,
allowing them to be reproduced with even greater fidelity and
clarity.
4. Remote Control Functions
The Remote Control (RC-894) commands not only the receiver
but can also operate the main functions of a DENON CD player
and a cassette deck.
External remote control equipment, such as DENON's RC-616
and RC-617, can be connected to this unit. By connecting such
equipment and using the RC-894 remote control from a sub
room (ZONE 2 or 3) allows the sub room output to be switched
on and off, the selection of sub room source, volume
adjustment, and the recalling of preset radio stations from the
sub room.

Speaker system connections
Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that
like polarities are matched (
<
with
<
,
>
with
>
). Mismatching of
polarities will result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of
the various instruments, and the sense of direction of the stereo
being impaired.
When making connections, take care that none of the individual
conductors of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent
terminals, with other speaker cord conductors, or with the rear
panel.
Speaker Impedance
When speaker systems A and B are use separately, speakers with
an impedance of 4 to 16 /ohms can be connected for use as
speakers.
Be careful when using two pairs of speakers (A + B) at the same
time, since use of speakers with an impedance of 8 to 16 /ohms.
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.
Connecting the speaker terminals
1. Loosen by turning
counterclockwise.
2. Insert the cord. 3. Tighten by turning
clockwise.
Connecting banana plugs
banana plug
Turn clockwise to tighten, then insert the banana plug.
Precautions when connecting speakers
If a speaker is placed near a TV or video
monitor, the colors on the screen may be
disturbed by the speakers magnetism. If
this should happen, move the speaker
away to a position where it does not have
this effect.
NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.
Doing so could result in electric shocks.

Protector circuit
This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit. This circuit protects the internal circuitry from damage due to
large currents flowing if the speaker jacks are not completely connected or if an output is generated by a short circuit.
In such a case, the protection circuit will operate to cut off the output to the speakers. Should this happen, turn the
power off and check the speaker connections. Then turn the power on again. After muting for several seconds, the
receiver should be operating normally.
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 service center.
Note on speaker impedance
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 (for example speakers with an impedance of lower than 4 /ohms)
are connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn off the sets power, wait for the set
to cool down, improve the ventilation around the set, then turn the power back on.

Range of operation of the remote control unit
Inserting the batteries
Point the remote control unit at the remote control sensor as shown
on the diagram at the left.
NOTES:
The remote control unit can be used from a straight distance of
approximately 7 meters/23 feet, but this distance will shorten or
operation will become difficult if there are obstacles between the
remote control unit and the remote control sensor, if the remote
control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or other strong light, or
if operated from an angle.
Neon signs or other devices emitting pulse-type noise nearby may
result in malfunction, so keep the set as far away from such
devices as possible.

Approx. 7 m/23 feet
q Press as shown by the arrow and
slide off.
w Insert the R03/AAA batteries properly,
as shown on the diagram.
e Close the lid.
NOTES:
Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.)
Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not be used for an extended period of time.
If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing, etc. Clean the
battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.
Even if less than a year has passed, replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not operate even when the remote control unit is
operated nearby the set. (The included battery is only for verifying operation. Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.)
