If it is damaged or deformed, it may cause electric shock or malfunction when used. When removing from wall outlet, be sure to remove by holding the plug attachment and not by pulling the cord. · Do not open the top cover In order to prevent electric shock, do not open the top cover. · Do not place anything inside Do not place metal objects or spill liquid inside the DVD surround receiver. Electric shock or malfunction may result. · Moving the set 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 set. NOTE: · This DVD surround receiver uses the semiconductor laser. To allow you to enjoy music at a stable operation, it is recommended to use this in a room of 5 °C (41 °F) ~ 35 °C (95 °F). Copyrights · It is prohibited by law to reproduce, broadcast, rent or play discs in public without the consent of the copyright holder. · Before turning the power switch on Check once again that all connections are proper 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 this instruction in a safe place After reading, store these instructions along in a safe place. · Note that the illustrations in this instruction may differ from the actual set for explanation purposes. Cautions on installation DVD Surround receiver Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this unit or any other electronic equipment using microprocessors is used near a tuner or TV. If this happens, take the following steps: · Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV. · Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit's power supply cord and input/output connection cords. · Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor antennas or 300 /ohms feeder wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75 /ohms coaxial cables. Speaker system and subwoofer The quality of the sound produced from the speaker system is affected by the size and type of the room, as well as by the method of installation. Consider the points listed below before installing the speaker system. · Note that placing the speaker system on the same stand or shelf as a record player may result in howling. · If there is a wall, glass door, etc., directly in front of or behind the speaker system, cover the wall or door with a thick curtain to prevent resonance and reflection. · The speaker systems are of the low-leakageflux type and can be used near televisions, but depending on the TV there may be color blotching on the picture. If this happens, turn off the TV's power, move the TV and speaker system a little apart, wait 15 to 30 minutes, then turn the TV's power back on. The TV's automatic degaussing circuit should reduce the blotching on the picture. If blotching persists, move the speaker and TV further away from each other. · Install on a firm, flat floor to prevent accidents due to toppling down. · Do not place a record player, CD player or other AV components on top of the subwoofer. Please, record and retain the Model name and serial number of your set shown on the rating label. Model name : S-301 Serial No. Note: For heat dispersal, do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a book case or similar unit. Note Wall Wall 3 ENGLISH ENGLISH Getting Started Getting Started NOTE: · To ensure safety, do not place any objects on top or lean objects against the speaker system. · The speaker may topple down or fall if force is applied to the sides. Be particularly careful to avoid this, as this could cause injury or other serious accidents. · When installing the speaker systems on the wall, to ensure safety, have specialists do the installation work. · Be sure to fasten the speaker cords to a wall, etc., to prevent people from tripping over them or otherwise pulling on them accidentally, causing the speaker systems to fall. · Be sure to check for safety after installing the speaker systems. Afterwards, perform safety inspections at regular intervals to be sure there is no danger that the speaker systems will fall. DENON will accept no responsibility for damages or accidents caused by inappropriate choice of the place of installation or improper installation procedures. · For your safety, do not put anything nor lean yourself on the loudspeakers. · Do not push the loudspeaker from aside to protect it from toppling that may cause serious accident. · Fix speaker cables to prevent being caught on it and making loudspeakers toppling down. 2 Speaker stand installation · When mounting the speaker system (SCS301) on a speaker stand or wall bracket. As shown in the diagram, fasten the speaker stand to the back of the speaker using the two included screws. When mounting, be sure to install properly and securely. · When placing the included SC-S301 speakers on a rack or shelf, fasten the included speaker stand securely using the screws included with the SC-S301 speakers (left and right). SC-S301 Cautions on handling DVD Surround receiver · Switching the input function when input terminals are not connected. A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input terminals. If this happens, either turn down the VOLUME control knob or connect components to the input terminals. · Muting of HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals. The HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced for several seconds after the power switch is turned on or input function, 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 apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage. Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation. Speaker system · Magnetic force of speaker system. Note that color blotching may occur on a TV, etc., due to interaction with the speaker system if there is a magnet or an object generating magnetic force nearby. Example: (a) When there are magnets on the door of the rack, stand, etc. (b) When a health device, etc., equipped with magnets is placed nearby. (c) When toys or other objects using magnets are placed nearby. Screws Subwoofer · Muting of after power is turned ON. The built-in amplifier of the active subwoofer includes a muting circuit. The output signal is strongly attenuated for several seconds after the power is turned on. If the volume is adjusted during this time, the output may be extremely high when the muting circuit is deactivated. Be sure to wait for the muting circuit to be deactivated before adjusting the volume. NOTE: · Be sure to fasten the power supply cord to a wall, etc., to prevent people from tripping over it or otherwise pulling on it accidentally, causing the subwoofer to fall. Speaker stand SC-S301 Wall Screws Wall bracket 4 ENGLISH ENGLISH Getting Started Getting Started · NOTE 1: Some DVD audio, DVD video and video CD discs do not operate as described in this manual due to the intentions of the discs' producers. · NOTE 2: The ADV-S301 cannot play DVD-R, -RW, +R and +RW discs recorded in the "VR" mode or with "CPRM".

"Easy setup and operation" offers an easy guide for the series of procedures from making connections to playing a DVD. 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 shortcircuited 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. Cautions on connecting With this unit's speaker outputs, signals with the reverse phase of the "+" side output terminal's signals are also output from the "­" side output terminal. Do not connect to a device for switching between multiple speakers (a speaker selector or audio channel selector) or connect in ways other than described in this manual. Doing so will result in damage. Connecting the system Connect the speaker system for the left channel (the left side as seen from the front) to the L terminals, the speaker system for the right channel to the R terminals. Be sure to use speaker systems with an impedance of 4 /ohms. Speaker system connections Be sure to turn the amplifier's power off when connecting the speaker systems. Use the included speaker cables to connect the input terminals on the back of the speaker systems to the amplifier's speaker output terminals. Connect the speaker system for the left channel to the amplifier's "L" terminals, the one for the right channel to the amplifier's "R" terminals. MEMO · Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections may result in noise. · Noise or humming may be generated if a connected audio equipment is used independently without turning the power of this unit on. If this happens, turn on the power of the this unit. · This system includes digital circuitry which may cause interference such as color blotching or changes in the color on TVs. If this happens, move the system and the TV as far apart as possible. · Whenever the power operation switch is in the STANDBY position, the unit is still connected to AC line voltage. · Please be sure to unplug the power supply cord when you leave home for, e.g.,a vacation, etc. · After unplugging the power supply cord, wait about 5 seconds before plugging it back in. · Note that setting the connection cords (pinplug cords etc.) next to the power supply cords may result in humming or other noise. NOTE: · Do not plug the power supply cord into the power outlet until all connections are completed. Be sure to interconnect the channels (L to L (white) and R to R (red)) properly, as shown on the diagram. DSW-S301 SC-S301 (L) (R) Note on speaker impedance The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played 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 lower than 4 /ohms) are connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off.
