Connecting the Audio Equipment
NOTE:
• Do not plug in the power cord until all
connections have been completed.
• When making connections, also refer to the
operating instructions of the other
components.
• Be sure to connect the left and right
channels properly (left with left, right with
right).
• Do not bundle power cords together with
speaker cables. Doing so could result in
humming or noise.
• Do not turn up the volume when no
turntable is connected to the PHONO input
terminals. Doing so will cause humming or
noise.
When not connecting a turntable, leave the
included short-circuiting pin plug plugged in.
Cautions on playing SA sources:
When regular speakers not compatible with
SA sources (DVD Audio discs, Super Audio
CDs and other sources including treble
components above the audible range), set the
properties of the player (DVD Audio player,
Super Audio CD player, etc.) for use with
regular speakers (or amplifiers).
The speakers may be damaged if the volume
is set too high when playing SA sources.
For instructions on setting the player, refer to
the operating instructions included with the
player.

Speaker impedance
Use speakers with impedances within the
ranges shown below according to their usage
conditions.
4 ~ 16 Ω/ohms A or B only
Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers
making sure that like polarities are matched (

Mounting the set on the rack
This set is attached the mounting brackets(left, right and bottom) and is shipped from the factory.
You can mount the set on the rack with using these brackets.
1. Install the set into the rack.
2. Fasten four supplied screws through the left and right brackets' screw holes into the rack to fix the
set to it.
NOTE:
When making connections, take care that
none of the individual conductors of the
speaker cable come in contact with
adjacent terminals, with other speaker
cable conductors, or with the rear panel
and screws.
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when
the power is on. Doing so could result in
electric shocks.
Note on speaker impedance
When using speakers with an impedance
below the designated value (for example 4
Ω/ohms), playing for long periods of time
with the volume high could cause the
temperature to rise, activating the
protection circuit.
When the protection circuit is activated, the
output to the speakers is cut off and the
power indicator blinks. If this happens,
unplug the power cord, wait for the set to
cool off and improve ventilation around the
unit. Also check the wiring of the input
cables and the speaker cables. After doing
this, plug the power cord back in and turn
the unit’s power back on.
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
PROFESSIONAL service center.
Connecting the speaker cables
1. Loosen by turning
counterclockwise.
Either tightly twist or terminate
the core wires.
2. Insert the cable.
3. Tighten by turning
clockwise.
• When rack-mounting the unit, allow enough free space around the unit for normal ventilation. This
should be: 10 cm at the sides, 15 cm behind, and 30 cm above.
• For normal ventilation during use, remove the rear of the rack or open a ventilation hole.
• If the airflow is not adequate, the unit will heat up inside and may cause a fire.
• This unit has ventilation holes at the top, bottom, and rear to prevent the internal temperature
rising too high. Do not block them. Blocked ventilation holes are a fire hazard.
