HDMI cable (commercially available) • Among the devices that support HDMI, some devices can control other devices via the HDMI connector; however, the AVC-A1XVA cannot be controlled by another device via the HDMI connector. • The audio signals from the HDMI connector (including the sampling frequency and bit length) may be limited by the equipment that is connected.
• Commercially-available DVI cables are available in 24-pin and 29-pin types. The AVC-A1XVA supports the 24-pin DVI-D cable. • The HDMI and DVI-D monitor output connectors on the AVC-A1XVA can only be used one at a time, not simultaneously. • The on screen display signals are not outputted from the DVI-D MONITOR OUT.
Because of this, the AVC-A1XVA’s MONITOR OUT terminal can be • With the AVC-A1XVA, the resolution of the signal output to the connected to the monitor (TV) with a set of cables offering a higher HDMI MONITOR OUT terminal can be selected (See page 69, 70).
Connecting the external input (EXT. IN) jacks • AVC-A1XVA is equipped with two analog external input terminals for 9.1 channels and 5.1 channels. • These jacks are for inputting multi-channel audio signals from an outboard decoder, or a component with a different type of multi-channel decoder, such as a DVD-Audio player, or a multi-channel Super Audio CD player, or other future multi-channel sound format decoder.
Connecting the ZONE2 jacks 2 ZONE2 preout CONNECTIONS • If another power amplifier is connected, the ZONE2 preout (variable level) jacks can be used to play a different program source in ZONE2 the same time. (See page 166) • The ZONE2 video out is only use for the ZONE2. •...

The AVC-A1XVA’s Audyssey MultEQ XT function has the feature that it provides the optimum listening environment at all listening positions in the home theater, where there are often multiple listeners viewing programs together. To achieve this, it is first necessary to use a microphone to measure test tones generated from the different speakers at the various listening positions.
2 Measurement flow Connect the microphone to be used for the auto setup procedure. Please place the measuring microphone at ear height at the main listening position. By default, the speaker system setting is set to 9.1 channels. Please set under “Extra Setup”, only when you want to change this arrangement.
Some subwoofers have a standby mode. Be sure to turn this function off before performing the Auto Setup procedure. The auto setup procedure uses the OSD (on screen display) function, so connect the AVC-A1XVA to a TV, projector, or other monitor. .

15 INITIALIZATION OF THE MICROPROCESSOR In very rare instances, the AVC-A1XVA internal microprocessor might lock up, or otherwise cause mis-operation. This might be caused due to an AC line surge or line spike noise, or by static electric discharge on or nearby the unit, or to connected components. If the condition cannot be corrected by powering off the unit, including disconnection of the power supply cord for a period of ten minutes and subsequent re-connection, then the unit may have to be re-initialized.
• No HDMI/DVI-D signal is being input. • Properly select HDMI or DVI-D signal input source. 70, 71 • The connected monitor equipment or other • The AVC-A1XVA will not output video signal unless 15, 16 equipments do not spport HDCP. the other equipment supports HDCP.
The AVC-A1XVA’s surround speaker selection function makes it possible to change the settings according to the combination of surround speakers being used and the surrounding environment in order to achieve the ideal surround sound for all sources. This means that you can connect a pair of bipolar or dipolar surround speakers (mounted on either side of the prime listening position), as well as a separate pair of direct radiating (monopolar) speakers placed at the rear corners of the listening room.
Movement of acoustic image from SR to SB to SL Speaker(s) for one or two channels are required in order to achieve a THX Surround EX system with the AVC-A1XVA. Adding these, however, allows you to achieve stronger surround effects not only with sources recorded in THX Surround EX, but also with conventional 2- to 5.1-channel sources.
• Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker A jacks on the AVC-A1XVA and set settings on the setup menu to “A”. (This is the factory default setting. For details, see page 29.)
45° ~ 60° • Connect the surround speakers for watching movies to the surround speaker A jacks on the AVC-A1XVA, Surround the surround speakers for playing multi-channel music to the surround speaker B jacks. Set the surround speakers A speaker selection on the setup menu.
Surround The AVC-A1XVA is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the same sense of presence as in a movie theater. [1] Dolby Surround q Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories.
• Dolby Headphone is effective not only for multichannel sources but also for stereo programs. • On the AVC-A1XVA, it is possible to output signals encoded in the Dolby Headphone mode from the recording output terminal and record them on a separate recorder.
In this case the DTS-encoded signals may be processed erroneously, in which case they cannot be decoded by the AVC-A1XVA, or may only produce noise. Before playing DTS signals for the first time, turn down the master volume to a low level, start playing the DTS disc, then check whether the DTS indicator on the AVC-A1XVA (see page 143) lights before turning up the master volume.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theater environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On the AVC-A1XVA, when the Home THX Cinema mode is on, THX post-processing is...
Upon playback, the signals are decoded by a high precision digital matrix decoder within the Dolby Digital decoder into the SL, SR and SB channels and output as 6.1 channels of signals. With the AVC-A1XVA, the signals further undergo Home THX Cinema processing to achieve a THX Surround EX system.
Audyssey MultEQ XT There are several factors that can degrade the sound from even the best loudspeakers in a listening room. One of the most important is the interaction of sound from the loudspeakers with large surfaces such as walls, the floor, and the ceiling in the room. Even with careful loudspeaker placement and acoustical treatments, there are significant problems that are caused by room acoustics.
DENON LINK (DENON Digital Link) High-grade LPCM 24-bit, 96-kHz, 6-channel or 24-bit, 192-kHz, 2-channel digital input is possible when the AVC-A1XVA is connected via a shielded twisted pair (STP) cable to a Denon DVD player that supports Denon Digital Link, Since Denon Digital Link uses low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS), transfer capabilities of greater than 1.2 Gbps at a differential voltage of approximately 0.3Vpp are possible.
