If this happens, take the following steps: · Install this unit as far away as possible from the tuner or TV. · Run the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit's power supply cord and input/output connection cables. · Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor antennas or 300 /ohm feeder wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75 /ohm coaxial cables. Note q Operating instructions ............................1 w Service station list ..................................1 e Remote control unit (RC-1014) ...............1 e r r R6P/AA batteries ....................................2 t AM loop antenna ....................................1 y FM indoor antenna .................................1 t y Wall Before using Pay attention to the following before using this unit: · Moving the unit To prevent short-circuits or damaged wires in the connection cables, always unplug the power supply cord and disconnect the connection cables between all other audio components when moving the unit. · Before turning the power switch on Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are not problems with the connection cables. Always set the power switch to the standby position before connecting and disconnecting connection cables. · Store these instructions in a safe place. After reading, store 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. · V. AUX terminals The AVR-1306's front panel is equipped with V. AUX terminals. Remove the cap covering the terminals when you want to use them. Note: For heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a confined space such as a bookcase or similar enclosure. Cautions on handling · Switching the input source when input terminals are not connected. A clicking noise may be produced if the input source is switched when nothing is connected to the input terminals. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control knob or connect components 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 of this, the output signals are greatly attenuated for several seconds after the power switch is turned on or the input source, surround mode or any other set-up is changed. If the volume is turned up during this time, the output will be very high after the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait until the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume. · 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. A NOTE ABOUT RECYCLING: This product's packaging materials are recyclable and can be reused.

Surround speaker systems 4 ENGLISH ENGLISH Easy Operation Easy Operation Speaker connections · Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like polarities are matched (< with <, > with >). Mismatching of polarities will result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments, and the stereo image being impaired. · 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. NOTE: NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shocks. 2 Connections When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components. Note on speaker impedance The protector circuit may be activated if the unit is operated for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance (for example speakers with an impedance of less than 4 /ohms) are connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn off the unit's power, wait for the unit to cool down, improve the ventilation around the unit, then turn the power back on. Subwoofer Center speaker Surround speaker systems (L) IN (R) <> < > Connection terminal for a subwoofer with built-in amplifier. < > Protector circuit This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit. The purpose of this circuit is to protect the speakers under circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently short-circuited and a large current flows, when the temperature surrounding the unit becomes unusually high, or when the unit is used at high output over a long period which results in an extreme temperature rise. When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off and the power supply indicator flashes. Should this occur, please follow these steps: be sure to switch off the power of this unit, check whether there are any faults with the wiring of the speaker cables or input cables, and wait for the unit to cool down if it is very hot. Improve the ventilation condition around the unit and switch the 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 service center. 2 Speaker impedance · When speaker systems A and B are used separately, speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 /ohms can be connected for use as front speakers. · Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the same time, since speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 /ohms in this case must be used. · Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 /ohms can be connected for use as center and surround speakers. · The protector circuit may be activated if the unit is operated for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance are connected. Connecting the speaker cables 1. Loosen by turning counterclockwise. (L) < > > (R) < < (L) > > (R) < Front speaker systems (B) Front speaker systems (A) 2. Insert the cable. Precautions when connecting speakers: If a speaker is placed near a TV or video monitor, the colors on the screen may be disturbed by the speaker's magnetism. If this should happen, move the speaker away to a position where it does not cause this effect. 3. Tighten by turning clockwise. 5 ENGLISH ENGLISH Easy Operation Easy Operation Connecting a DVD player and monitor TV · To connect the digital audio output from the DVD player, you can choose from either the coaxial or optical connections.
