BEFORE USING
Pay attention to the following before using this unit:
• Moving the set
To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in the
connection cords, always unplug the power cord and
disconnect the connection cords between all other
audio components when moving the set.
• Before turning the power operation switch on
Check once again that all connections are proper and
that there are not problems with the connection cords.
Always set the power operation switch to the
standby position before connecting and disconnecting
connection cords.
• Store this instructions in a safe place.
After reading, store this instructions along with the
warranty in a safe place.
• Note that the illustrations in this instructions may
differ from the actual set for explanation purposes.
• V. AUX terminal
The AVR-1603's front
panel is equipped with a
V. AUX terminal. Remove
the cap covering the
terminal when you want
to use it.
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 cord and input/output connection
cords.
• Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when
using indoor antennas or 300 Ω/ohms feeder wires.
We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75
Ω/ohms coaxial cables.
For heat dispersal, leave at least 10 cm of space
between the top, back and sides of this unit and the
wall or other components.
• 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.
• Muting of PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and
SPEAKER terminals
The PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and
SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit.
Because of this, the output signals are greatly
reduced for several seconds after the power
operation 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 operation switch is in the
£ OFF or STANDBY state, the apparatus is still
connected on some AC line voltages.
Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave
home for, say, a vacation.
1. Dolby Pro Logic II decoder
Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing
multichannel audio signals that offers
improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic.
It can be used to decode not only sources recorded
in Dolby Surround but also regular stereo sources
into five channels (front left/right, center and
surround left/right). In addition, various parameters
can be set according to the type of source and the
contents, so you can adjust the sound field with
greater precision.
2. Dolby Digital decoder
Dolby Digital, a digital discrete system in which the
different channels are completely independent,
recreates “three-dimensional” sound fields (sounds
with a sense of distance, movement and position)
with no crosstalk between channels for greater
reality. In addition, the 5 channels (excluding the 0.1
channel for low frequency effects) have a playback
range extending to 20 kHz, the same as the range
of CDs, thus resulting in clearer, more richly
expressive sound.
3. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) decoder
DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high
fidelity surround sound, from sources such as laser
disc, DVD and specially-encoded music discs.
4. High performance DSP simulates 7 sound fields
Playback is possible in 7 surround modes: 5-channel
Stereo, Mono Movie, Rock Arena, Jazz Club, Video
Game, Matrix and Virtual. You can enjoy a variety of
sound effects for different movie scenes and
program sources even with stereo sources not in
Dolby Surround.
5. Personal Memory Plus function
Personal Memory Plus is an advanced version of
Personal Memory. With Personal Memory Plus, the
set automatically memorizes the surround mode,
channel volume, surround parameters, etc., for each
of the separate input sources.
6. Remote control unit with pre-memory function
This unit comes with a remote control unit equipped
with a pre-memory function. The remote control
command codes for DENON remote controllable AV
components as well as for LD players, video decks,
TVs, etc., of other major manufacturers are prestored
in the memory.
7. EXT. IN jack
This unit is equipped with EXT. IN jacks for use with
audio formats of the future.

Speaker system 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 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
• When speaker systems A and B are use separately,
speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/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 use of speakers with
an impedance of 12 to 16 Ω/ohms.
• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can
be connected for use as center and surround speakers.
• 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 are connected.
1. Loosen by turning
counterclockwise.
2. Insert the cord.
3. Tighten by turning
clockwise.
NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the
power is on.
Doing so could result in electric shocks.

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
LED 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.
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 Ω/ohms) are connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off.
Turn off the set’s power, wait for the set to cool down, improve the ventilation around the set, then turn
the power back on.

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. The low
frequency signal range of channels set to “LARGE” are produced from those channels.
— Crossover Frequency —
• When “Subwoofer“ is set to “Yes“ at the “Speaker Configuration Setting“, set the frequency (Hz) below
which the bass sound of the various speakers is to be output from the subwoofer (the crossover frequency).
• For speakers aet to “Small“, sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and the cut bass
sound is output from the subwoofer instead.
NOTE: For ordinary speaker systems, we recommend setting the crossover frequency to 80 Hz. When
using small speakers, however, setting the crossover frequency to high frequency may improve
frequency response for frequencies near the crossover frequency.
— Subwoofer mode —
• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when “LARGE” is set for the front speakers and “YES” is set for
the subwoofer in the “Speaker Configuration” settings (see page 10).
If “SMALL” is set for the front speakers or “NO” is set for the subwoofer, the subwoofer mode setting does
not affect playback of low frequency signal range.
• When the “+MAIN” playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to “LARGE”
are produced simultaneously from those channels and the subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending on
the size and shape of the room, interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency
range.
• When the “NORM” playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to “LARGE”
are only produced from those channels. In this playback mode there tends to be little interference of the low
frequency range in the room.
• Try playing the music or movie source and select the playback mode providing the stronger low frequency
range sound.

CINEMA EQ. (Cinema Equalizer):
The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the extreme high frequencies, compensating for
overly-bright sounding motion picture soundtracks. Select this function if the sound from the front speakers
is too bright.
This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital and DTS Surround modes.
D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):
Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loud
sounds). For listening late at night, or whenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, the Dynamic
Range Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in the soundtrack (but with reduced dynamic range).
(This only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital.) Select one of the four parameters
(“OFF”, “LOW”, “MID” (middle) or “HI” (high)). Set to OFF for normal listening.
