Connecting Devices; Connecting The Speakers - Denon AVR-1610 Owner's Manual

ENGLISH
Connecting the Speaker Cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and –
(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the AVR-1610,
and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
1
Peel off about 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.
Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. When using front
A and B speakers simultaneously, use speakers with an impedance of
12 to 16 Ω/ohms.
NOTE
• 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
supply is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.
2
Protection circuit
If the core wires touch the rear panel and the screws etc., or the ±
sides touch each other, the protection circuit will be activated and the
power indicator will flash red at intervals of 0.5 secs.
If the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is isolated, and
the power supply goes to the standby state. If the power supply is
turned off, after the power supply cord is withdrawn, please confirm
that speaker cable and input cable are connected.
Also, if replaying large sound levels by using a speaker having an
impedance less than that specified (eg, 4 Ω/ohms), the temperature
will rise, and the protection circuit might be activated. The power
supply will go into the standby state, and the power indicator will flash
red at 2 second intervals.
In this case, please switch off the power supply, and wait until the
AVR-1610 has cooled down, and the surrounding ventilation is good.
Even if there are no problems with the surrounding ventilation and
connections, in the event of the protection circuit becoming activated,
due to thinking that the AVR-1610 has failed, please contact DENON
Service center after switching off.

mportant Information
n About HDMI
"HDMI" is the abbreviation of "High Definition Multimedia
Interface". This interface allows transfer of digital video signals
and digital audio signals over a single HDMI cable.
"HDMI", "HDMI logo" and "High-Definition Multimedia Interface"

Functions usable with HDMI connections
Deep Color
Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and
subtle gradations between colors.
x.v.Color
Enables displays with natural, vivid colors. "x.v.Color" is a Sony
registered trademark.
Auto Lip Sync (vpage 27)
HDMI 1.3 incorporates an automatic video/audio synching capability
that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with
total accuracy.
HDMI control function (vpage 27, 46)
This function allows you to operate external devices from the receiver
and operate the receiver from external devices.
NOTE
These functions will not work if the device connected to the HDMI
connector does not support Deep Color or x.v.Color signal transfer or
the Auto Lip Sync function.
n Copyright protection system (HDCP)
The AVR-1610 supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection). HDCP is a copyright protection technology for digital video
signals. The devices connected to the AVR-1610 must also support
HDCP.
NOTE
When a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video
signals are not properly output.
