2 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION
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.
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 R/ohms feeder wires. We recommend using
outdoor antennas and 75 Q/ohms coaxial cables.
For heat dispersal, leave at least 0.3 f-t (IO cm1 of space between
the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other compo-
nents.
0
3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
l 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.
l Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER
terminals
The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals
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.
l 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.

4 FEATURES
1. 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.
2. 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

l 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.
l 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 R/ohms)
are connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn off the set’s power, wait for the set
to cool down, improve the ventilation around the set, then turn the power back on.
