CAUTIONS

ON INSTALLATION

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 _/ohms feeder wires. We recommend using
outdoor antennas and 75 £2/ohms coaxial cables.
For heat dispersal, leave at least 4 inch/10 cm of space between
the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other
components.

The PRE OUT jacks, 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.

FEATURES

1. Digital Surround Sound Decoding
Featuring 32 bit high speed DSP, operating entirely in digital
domain, surround sound from digital sources such as DVD, LD,
DTV and satellite are faithfully

re-created.

2. Dolby Pro Logic II decoder
Dolby Pro Logic I1 is a new format for playing multi-channel 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.
3. Dolby Digital
Using advanced
digital processing
algorithms,
DoJby Digital
provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround
sound. Dolby Digital is the default digital audio delivery system for
DVD and North American DTV.
4. DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
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.
5. DTS-ES Extended Surround and DTS Neo:6
The AVR-3803/1083 can be decoded with DTS-ES Extended Surround,
a new multi-channel format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc.
The AVR-3803/t083 can be also decoded with DTS Neo:6, a surround
mode allowing 6.1-channel playback of regular stereo sources.
6. DTS 96/24 compatibility
The AVR-3603/1083 can be decoded with sources recorded in DTS
96/24, a new multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital
Theater Systems Inc.
DTS 96/24 sources can be played in the multi-channel mode on the
AVR 3803/1083 with high sound quality of 96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2
kHz/24 bits.
7. Wide screen mode for a 7.1-channel
5.1-channel sources

sound even with

DENON has developed a wide screen mode with a new design
which recreates the effects of the multi surround speakers in
movie theaters.
The result is 7.1-channel sound taking full
advantage of surround back speakers, even with Dolby Pro Logic
or Dolby Digital/DTS 5.1-channel signals.
8. Dual Surround Speaker Mode
Provides for the first time the ability to optimize surround sound
reproduction using two different types of surround sound speakers
as well as two different surround speaker positions:
(1) Movie Surround
Motion picture soundtracks use the surround channel{s) to
provide the ambient elements of the acoustic environment they
want the audience to realize. This is best accomplished by the
use of specially-designed surround speakers that offer a wide

diffusion
pattern {bipolar dispersion) or by using surround
speakers that provide broad dispersion with a minimum of onaxis localization (dipolar dispersion). Side wall mounting {closer
to the ceiling) of the surround speakers provides the greatest
envelopment, minimizing localization of direct sound from the
speakers.
(2) Music Surround
With full range discrete surround channels, as well as three
discrete full range front channels, digital formats such as Dolby
and DTS offer thrilling
surround sound music listening.
Producers of multi-channel discrete digital music recordings
almost always favor the use of direct radiating (monopolar)
surround speakers, placed in the rear corners of the room,
since that is how they

Multi Source Function:

System

This unit's Multi Source function lets you select different audio
sources for listening Different sources can thus be enjoyed in the
main room {MAIN) and the subroom {ZONE 2} simultaneously.
10.Component
Video Switching
In addition to composite video and "S" video switching, the AVR3803/1083 provides 2 sets of component video {Y, PWCB, PR/CR)
inputs, and one set of component video outputs to the television,
for superior picture quality.
11.Video

Allow you to watch one source (visual) while listening to another
source (audio).
12.Future Sound Format Upgrade Capability via Eight Channel
Inputs & Outputs
For future multi channel audio format(s), the AVR 3803/1083 is
provided with 7.1 channel {seven main channels, plus one low
frequency effects channel) inputs, along with a full set of 7.1
channel pre-amp outputs, controlled by the 8 channel master
volume control. This assures future upgrade possibilities for any
future multi-channel sound format.
13.Video Conversion Function
The AVR-3803/1083 is equipped

with a function for up-converting

video signals.
Because of this, the AVR-3803/1083's

MONITOR OUT jack can be

connected to the monitor (TV) with a set of cables offering a higher
quality connection, regardless of how the player and the AVR3803/1083's video input jacks are connected.

• 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.

• 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. 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:
• The on-screen display signals are output wdh priority to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT iack during playback of a video component
For example, if the TV monitor
_s connected to both the AVR-3803/t 083's S-Video and video mondor output iacks and signals are input to the AVR-3803/1083 from a video source (VDB etc)
connected to both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-Video monitor output If you wish to output
the signals to the video mondor output jack, do not connect a cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT iack (For details, see page 33)
• The AVR-3803/1083'S on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may be difficult to read small characters on TVs with
