4 2 INTRODUCTION 2 ACCESSORIES Thank you for choosing the DENON A VR-5800 Digital Surround A / V receiver . 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.
5 3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING 4 FEA TURES • Switching the input function when input jacks are not connected A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components to the input jacks.
6 5 CONNECTIONS • Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections have been completed. • Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right). • Insert the plugs securely . Incomplete connections will result in the generation of noise.
7 Connecting video components • T o connect the video signal, connect using a 75 Ω /ohms video signal cable cord. Using an improper cable can result in a drop in picture quality . • When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
8 Connecting a video component equipped with S-Video jacks • When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components. • A note on the S input jacks The input selectors for the S inputs and pin jack inputs work in conjunction with each other .
9 Connecting a Video Component Equipped with Color Difference (Component - Y , R-Y , B-Y) Video Jacks (DVD Player) • When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.

17 • Speaker system layout Basic system layout (For a THX Surround EX system) • The following is an example of the basic layout for a system consisting of eight speaker systems and a television mo.
18 Before setting up the system 1 Check that all the connections are correct, then turn on the main unit’ s power . 2 Either lightly press on the remote control unit’ s touch panel or press the LIGHT button to turn on the liquid crystal display . (The back light does not turn on when the touch panel is pressed.
19 Setting the type of speakers • The composition of the signals output from the different channels and the fr equency response are adjusted automatically accor ding to the combination of speakers actually being used. 2 At the System Setup Menu select “Speaker Configuration”.
20 • Parameters Large ................Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz. Small ................Select this when using speakers that cannot reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz with sufficient volume. When this setting is selected, low frequencies of below 80 Hz are assigned to the subwoofer .
21 NOTES: — Assignment of low frequency signal range — • The only signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS signals) and the low frequency signal range of channels set to “SMALL” in the setup menu.
22 Setting the delay time • Input the distance between the listening position and the different speakers to set the delay time for the surround mode. • The delay time can be set separately for surround speakers A and B. Preparations: Measure the distances between the listening position and the speakers (L1 to L5 on the diagram at the right).
23 6 Set the distance between the center speaker and listening position. The distance changes in units of 1 foot (0.1 meters) each time the button is pressed. Select the value closest to the measured distance. If “Y es” is selected for “Default”, the settings are automatically reset to the default values.
24 4 Select the desired setting, then press jog stick “ENTER”. V ariable: The level can be adjusted freely using the buttons on the remote control unit (M. ZONE 1 4/5, VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN). -40 dB, 0 dB: The output level is fixed at the set level and the volume can no longer be adjusted.
25 Setting the channel level • Use this setting to adjust so that the playback level between the different channels is equal. • From the listening position, listen to the test tones produced from the speakers to adjust the level. • The level can also be adjusted directly from the remote control unit.
26 7 Select “Y es”. 8 a. If the “Auto” mode is selected: T est tones are automatically emitted from the different speakers. The test tones are emitted from the different speakers in the follow.

56 16 ADDITIONAL INFORMA TION Optimum surround sound for different sources There are currently various types of multi-channel signals (signals or formats with more than two channels).
57 Surround back speakers The THX Surround EX format adds new “Surround Back” (SB) channels to the conventional 5.1-channel system. This makes it easy to achieve sound positioned directly behind the listener , something that was previously difficult with sources designed for conventional m ulti surround speakers.
58 • Set the front speakers, center speaker and subwoofer in the same positions as in example (1). • It is best to place the surround speakers directly at the side or slightly to the front of the viewing position, and 60 to 90 cm above the ears. • Same as surround back speaker installation method (1).
59 • Set the front speakers slightly wider apart than the setup for watching movies only and point them toward the listening position in order assure clear positioning of the sound. • Set the center speaker in the same positions as in example (1).
