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.

• Precautions when connecting

speakers

If a speaker is placed near a TV or

video monitor, the colors on the

screen may be disturbed by the

speaker’s magnetism. If this should

happen, move the speaker away

to a position where it does not have

this effect.

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.

Input the distances from the listening position to the speakers and set the surround

delay time.

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.

LFE (Low Frequency Effect):

Program source and adjustment range

1. Dolby Digital: –10 dB to 0 dB

2. DTS Surround: –10 dB to 0 dB

When Dolby Digital encoded software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to
