User manual DENON AVR-1609

[. . . ] Do not let insecticides, benzene, and thinner come in contact with the set. The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc. No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. [. . . ] NOTE: To prevent hearing loss, do not raise the volume level excessively when using headphones. The speaker output is automatically turned off when headphones are connected. Before playing with the surround function Before playing with the surround function, be sure to use the test tones to adjust the playback level from each speakers. This adjustment can be performed from the remote control unit, as (described) below. The adjustment with the test tones is only effective in the DOLBY/DTS SURROUND modes. The adjusted playback levels for the different surround modes are automatically stored in the memory of each surround modes. IN jacks are output directly to the front (left and right), center, surround (left and right) speaker systems without passing through the surround circuitry. In play modes other than the external input mode, the signals connected to EXT. In addition, signals cannot be output from channels not connected to the input jacks. To watch video while listening to sound, select the input source to which the video signal is connected, then set this mode. IN), the play mode (DIRECT, STEREO, DOLBY/DTS SURROUND, 5/6CH STEREO or DSP SIMULATION) cannot be selected. The front channel (FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals output from the center (C) and surround (SL, SR and SB) channels add a natural sense of expansion to the sound field. 2): The center image parameter for adjusting the expansion of the center channel in the DTS NEO:6 MUSIC mode has been added. Dolby Digital mode (only with digital input) and DTS Surround (only with digital input) This parameter is not displayed during DTS playback. Set to the desired level according to the speaker systems being used and the source to be played. (Cinema Equalizer): The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the extreme high frequencies, compensating for overly-bright sounding motion picture soundtracks. Select this function if the sound from the front speakers is too bright. This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Digital and DTS Surround modes. (Dynamic Range Compression): Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loud sounds). For listening late at night, or whenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, the Dynamic Range Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack (but with reduced dynamic range). (This only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital. LFE (Low Frequency Effect): This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) sounds included in the source when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS. [. . . ] In this case the DTS-encoded signals may be processed erroneously, in which case they cannot be decoded by the AVR-1609, 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 AVR-1609 (see page 29) lights before turning up the master volume. A DVD player with DTS-compatible digital output is required to play DTS DVDs. While offering high compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals.
