unit:
• Moving the unit
Te prevent short-circuits er damaged wires in •
the connectien cables, always unplug the power
supply cord and disconnect the connection
cables between all other audio cemponents
when moving the unit.
• Before turning the power switch on
Check once again that all cennectiens are
correct and that there are not preblems with
the cennectien cables. Always set the power
switch to the standby pesitien befere
cennecting and discennecting connectien
cables.
After reading, stere this instructions along with
the warranty card in a safe place.
Note that the illustrations in these
instructions may differ from the actual unit
for explanation purposes.

Getting Started
Noise or disturbance of the picture may be
generated if this unit er any ether electrenic
equipment using microprocessers is used
near a tuner or TV.
If this happens, take the fellowing steps:
• Install this unit as far away as possible
from the tuner er TV.
• Run the antenna wires from the tuner or
TV away from this unit's power supply cord
and input/eutput connection cables.
• Noise or disturbance tends to occur
particularly when using indeor antennas or
300 _/ohm feeder wires. We recommend
using outdoor antennas and 75 _/ohm
coaxial cables,
Note:
i N
For heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a confined space such as a bookcase or similar
enclosure,
• Switching the input source when input terminals are not connected,
A clicking noise may be produced if the input source is switched when nething is connected to
the input terminals. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control knob or
cennect cempenents to the input terminals.
• Muting of PRE OUT terminals, PHONES jack and SPEAKER terminals.
The PRE OUT terminals, PHONES jack and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because
ef this, the output signals are greatly attenuated fer several seconds after the power switch is
turned on or the input seurce, surround mode or any ether set-up is changed. If the volume is
turned up during this time, the eutput will be very high after the muting circuit stops functioning.
Always wait until the muting circuit turns eff before adjusting the w>lume.
• Whenever the power switch is in the STANDBY state, the unit is still connected to AC line
voltage.
Please be sure to turn off the power switch or unplug the cord when you leave home for,
say, a vacation,
The included remote control unit (RC-1001 ) can be used to operate not only the AVR-686 but other
remete control compatible DENON components as well. In additien, the memory contains control
signals fer other remote control units, se it can be used te eperate nen-DENON remote centrel
compatible products.
