User manual DENON AVR-5308CI

[. . . ] Do not let insecticides, benzene, and thinner come in contact with the apparatus. 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. 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. [. . . ] nOTE: · To prevent hearing loss, do not raise the volume level excessively when using headphones. Descriptions of the unit's operations are also displayed on the front panel display. In addition, the display can be switched to check the unit's operating status while playing a source. Combining the currently playing sound with the desired image (VIDEO SELECT) Press the VIDEO SELECT button repeatedly until the desired source appears on the display. AUTO (auto mode): In this mode, the types of signals being input to the digital and analog input terminals for the selected input source are detected and the program in the AVR-5308CI's surround decoder is selected automatically upon playback. The presence or absence of digital signals is detected, the signals input to the digital input terminals are identified and decoding and playback are performed automatically with the DTS, Dolby Digital or PCM (2 channel stereo) format. If no digital signal is being input, the analog input terminals are selected. PCM (exclusive PCM signal playback mode): Decoding and playback are only performed when PCM signals are being input. Note that noise may be generated when using this mode to play signals other than PCM signals. DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback mode): Decoding and playback are only performed when DTS signals are being input. Use this switch to monitor a video source other than the audio source. If you do want the bass and treble to be adjusted, turn off the tone defeat mode. When the surround parameters are set using the buttons on the main unit, stop operating the buttons after completing the settings. The settings are automatically finalized and the normal display reappears after several seconds. When making parameter settings, the display will return to the regular condition several seconds after the last button was pressed and the setting will be completed. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6. This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in conventional surround formats as well, because the in-phase component is assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SB channels). 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. 3): The center image parameter for adjusting the expansion of the center channel in the DTS NEO:6 MUSIC mode has been added. If you do want the bass and treble to be adjusted, turn off the tone defeat mode. When making parameter settings, the display will return to the regular condition several seconds after the last button was pressed and the setting will be completed. (Cinema Equalizer): The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the extreme high frequencies, compensating for overly-bright sounding motion picture soundtracks. [. . . ] 2 Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the logo symbol shown below Dolby Pro Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic steering technology and offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits. Dolby Pro Logic II can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround ( ) but also regular stereo sources into five channels (front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve surround sound. 1" playback channels as Dolby Digital (front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) as well as the stereo 2-channel mode. The signals for the different channels are fully independent, eliminating the risk of deterioration of sound quality due to interference between signals, crosstalk, etc. [. . . ]
