CAUTION:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE

COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The lightning ﬂash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral

triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of

uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure

that may be of sufﬁcient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric

shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended

to alert the user to the presence of important operating

and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature

accompanying the appliance.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT

EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

before the product is operated.

2. Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be

retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the product and in the operating

instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning – Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not

use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product

manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water – for example,

near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement;

or near a swimming pool; and the like.

8. 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 mounting of the product should

follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should

use a mounting accessory recommended by the

manufacturer.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

15. Outdoor 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 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 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.

16. 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.

17. 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.

18. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral

convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of ﬁre or electric shock.

19. 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.

20. 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.

21. 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,

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and

f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this

indicates a need for service.

22. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the

service technician has used replacement parts speciﬁed by the manufacturer

or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in ﬁre, electric shock, or other hazards.

23. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,

ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the

product is in proper operating condition.

24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be mounted to a wall or

ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

25. Heat – The product should be situated away from heat sources such as

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including ampliﬁers) that

produce heat.

About the Remote Control Unit

Inserting the Batteries

• Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are

no problems with the connection cables.

•

Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is

set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long

periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power

outlet.

• About condensation

If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of

the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on

the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate

properly.

If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power

turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature

before using the unit.

• Cautions on using mobile phones

Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move

the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

• Moving the unit

Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power

outlet.

Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before

moving the unit.

•

Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the

actual unit for explanation purposes.

Note:

For proper heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a conﬁned

space, such as a bookcase or similar enclosure.

signals from the component video.

• HDMI signals cannot be converted into analog signals.

• 1080p component input video signals cannot be output to anything other than component video

connectors.

• 480p/576p, 1080i and 720p component video input signals cannot be converted into S-Video or Video

format.

• When using the component video output connectors for connection to the ZONE2 monitor, the ZONE2’s

on-screen display is not displayed.

• When a non-standard video signal from a game machine or some other source is input, the video

conversion function might not operate.

• When not using this function, connect a monitor output with the same type of connector as the video

input connector.

• The resolution of the HDMI input-compatible monitor connected to the AVR-5308CI can be checked at

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

NOTE

By default, the AVR-5308CI’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 (vpage 85 ~ 88).

Two surround back speakers are required to use the THX Ultra2 Cinema,THX Music mode and THX Games

mode.

Set the surround back speakers so that the distance to the listening position is the same for both the left

(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the AVR-5308CI,

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 (v “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.

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-5308CI is HDCP-compatible. For details on the DVD player

or monitor you are using, refer to its operating instructions.

• When the AVR-5308CI and DVD player are connected using an HDMI

cable, also connect the AVR-5308CI 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-5308CI.

• To output the sound from the TV, make the settings at GUI menu

“Manual Setup” – “HDMI Setup” – “Audio” – “TV” (vpage 33).

NOTE

• Use a CPPM-compatible DVD player to play DVD-Audio discs that are

copyright-protected by CPPM.

• 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

(vpage 33) 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.

• The AVR-5308CI is compatible with the HDMI’s CEC (Consumer

Electronics Control) function. Please note the following.

•

It may not work depending on the device it is connected to and its

setup.

•

It does not operate with televisions or players that are not

compatible with HDMI’s CEC.
