• INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing the DENON AVR-2803/983 Digital A / V Surround Receiver. This remarkable component has been engineered to provide superb surround sound listening with home theater sources such as DVD, as weft as providing outstanding high fidefity reproduction of your favorite music sources. As this product is provided with an immense array of features, we recommend that before you begin hookup and operation that you review the contents of this manual before proceeding.
[] CAUTIONS • Switching connected the ON HANDLING input function when input jacks are not 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. • Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE terminals • Whenever the power switch is in the STANDBY state, the apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage.
[] 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. • Use the AC OUTLETS for audio equipment only. Do not use them for hair driers, etc. • Note that binding pin plug cords together with AC cords or placing them near a power transformer will result in generating hum or other noise.
• TO connect the video signal, connect using a 75 _2/ohms video signal cable cord. Using an improper cable can result in a drop in video quality. • When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
• 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 Video inputs work in conjunction with each other.
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components. • The signaEs input to the color difference (component) video jacks are not output to the VIDEO output jack (yellow) or the S+Video output jack. • Some video sources with component video outputs are Eabeled Y, CB, CR, or Y, Pb, Pr, or Y, R+Y,B+Y.These terms all refer to component video color difference output. • The function assigned to the component video input can be changed at the system setup.

• These jacks are for inputting multi-channel audio signals from an outboard decoder, or a component with a different type of multi-channel decoder, such as a DVD Audio player, a multi-channel SACD player, or other future multi-channel sound format decoder. • When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components. _L analog Dec°derwitha-°r6-channeJI output For instructions Ez __1 o on playback using the external input (EXT. IN) jacks, see page 44.
• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like polarities are matched (® with ®, ® with O ) Mismatching of polarities will result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments, and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired • When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other speaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel Speaker • Impedance Speakers w
• 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.
