    INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the DENON AVR-5700 Digital Surround A / V receiver. This remarkable component has been engineered to provide superb surround sound listening with home theater sources such as DVD, as well as providing outstanding high fidelity reproduction of your favorite music sources.

  • Page 5: Cautions On Handling

    Brown DACs, for optimum high fidelity reproduction of music and movie soundtracks. 6. 24 Bit AL Processing A feature of DENON’s premium CD players, Alpha processing is a proprietary DSP function that provides increased definition of detail. The latest 24 bit Alpha processing technology is applied to the two main front channels (left and right) for superb reproduction of high fidelity music sources.

  • Page 6: Connections

    5 CONNECTIONS • Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections have been completed. • Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right). • Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections will result in the generation of noise.

  • Page 7: Connecting Video Components

    • To connect an Dolby Digital AC-3 compatible LD player to the AC-3RF jacks, connect the player’s video outputs to this unit’s VDP/DVD input jacks. • When the AC-3RF-input selector button on the AVR-5700 is pressed, the picture switches to the signals input to the VDP/DVD input jacks.
  • Page 8 • Connect the TV’s or DBS tuner’s S video input (S-VIDEO INPUT) to the S-VIDEO • The monitor TV can also be connected in the same way to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT-2 jack. Note, however, that the AVR-5700’s on-screen display signals are not output from this jack. MONITOR...

When connecting a high definition (MUSE 3-1 format) component, use a separately sold mono/stereo cable if the surround channel...
  • Page 12 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.
  • Page 13 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. • 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 Ω/ohms)
