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-1908, and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly. Protection circuit If speakers with an impedance lower than specified (for example 4 /ohms speakers) are used for an extended period of time with the volume turned up high, the temperature may rise, activating the protection circuit. When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is shut off and the power indicator flashes red. If this happens, unplug the power cord, then check the speaker cable and input cable connections. If the set is extremely hot, wait for it to cool off and improve ventilation around it. Once this is done, plug the power cord back in and turn the set's power back on. If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems in the ventilation around the set nor in the connections, the set may be damaged. Turn the power off, then contact a DENON service center.
