[] BEFORE USING

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

•Moving the set

TOprevent 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 switch on

Check once again that all connections are proper and that there are

not problems with the connection cords. Always set the power

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,

[] 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 4inch/10 cm of space between

the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other

components.

4 inch/10 cm or more

[] CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

•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 jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER

terminals

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 sound even with

5.1-channel sources

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

apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage.

Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for,

say, a vacation.

diffusion pattern {bipolar dispersion) or by using surround

speakers that provide broad dispersion with a minimum of on-

axis 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 configure their studios during the

mixing/creation process.

The DENON AVR-3803/1083 provides the ability to connect two

different sets of surround speakers, and place them in the

appropriate locations in your AV theater room, so that you can

enjoy both movie soundtracks and music listening, with optimum

results and no compromise.

g. Multi Zone Music Entertainment System

Multi Source Function:

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 AVR-

3803/1083 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 Select Function

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 AVR-

3803/1083's video input jacks are connected.

MONITOR OUT jacks

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 AVR-3803/lO83'S video input jacks are connected.

Generally speaking, connections using the component video jacks offer the highest quality playback, followed by connections using the S-Video

jacks, then connections using the regular video jacks (yellow).

-_ If the AVR-3803/1083'S MONITOR OUT jack is not connected to the monitor {TV) using the component video jacks, connect the player to the

AVR-3803/1083'S video input jacks using either the video jacks (yellow) or the S Video jacks. The video signals will not be output if the player

and the AVR-3803/1083 are only connected with the component video jacks.

NOTE:

Down-converting from the component video signal to the SWideo and composRe video signal is not possible, so when not using the component

video monitor output terminal connect the player using the S-Video or composite video input terminal.

Cautions on the video convereion function:

When the component video terminals are used to connect the AVR-3803/1083 with a TV {or monitor, projector, etc.) and the video {yellow) or S

video terminals are used to connect the AVR-3803/1083 with a VTR, depending on the combination of the TV and VTR the picture may flicker in

the horizontal direction, be distorted, be out of sync or not display at all when playing video tapes.

If this happens, connect a commercially available video stabilizer, etc., with a TBC (time base corrector) function between the AVR-3803/1083 and

the VTR, or if your VTR has a TBC function, turn it on.

• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like

polarities are matched (® with ®, ® with 0 ) 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

NOTE:

NEVER touch the speaker ter minals when the power is on

Doing so could result in electric shocks

Speaker Impedance

• Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 PJohms can be connected for

use as front and center speakers¸

• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 _)johms can be connected for use as

surround speakers¸

• Be careful when using two pairs of surround speakers (A + B) at the same

time, since use of speakers with an impedance of less than 8 _)johms will

lead to damage¸

• 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¸

• 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:

-- 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 tow

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 set 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 a 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 18}.

• When the "LFE+MAIN" playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to "LARGE" are produced

simukaneously 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.

• Selection of the "LFE " play mode will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected with "LARGE" from that channel only.

Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are played from the subwoofer channel are only the tow frequency signal range of LFE (only

during Dolby Digital or DTS signal playback) and the channel specified as "SMALL" in the setup menu.

• Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with quantity.

• When the subwoofer is set to "Yes", bass sound is output from the subwoofer regardless of the subwoofer mode setting in surround modes

other than Dolby/DTS.

• In surround modes other than Dotby Digital and DTS, if the subwoofer is set to "YES", the tow frequency portion is always output to the

subwoofer channel. For details, refer to "Surround Modes and Parameters" on page 67.

NOTE: When adjusting the level of an active subwoofer system, you may also need to adjust the subwoofer's own volume control.

-_ When you adjust the channel levels while in the SYSTEM SETUP CHANNEb LEVEL mode, the channel level adjustments made will affect

all surround modes. Consider this mode a Master Channel Level adjustment mode.

-_ After you have completed the SYSTEM SETUP CHANNEb bEVEL adjustments, you can then activate the individual surround modes and

adjust channel levels that will be remembered for each of those modes. Then, whenever you activate a particular surround sound mode,

your preferred channel level adjustments for just that mode will be recalled. Check the instructions for adjusting channel levels within each

surround mode on page 55.

"_ You can adjust the channel levels for each of the following surround modes: PURE DIRECT/DIRECT, STEREO, DOLBY/DTS SURROUND,

5/7 CH STEREO, WIDE SCREEN, SUPER STADIUM, ROCK ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, CLASSIC CONCERT, MONO MOVIE, VIDEO GAME,

MATRIX and VIRTUAb.

-_ When using either surround speakers A or B, or when using surround speakers A and B at the same time, be sure to adjust the balance of

playback levels between each channel for the various selections of "A or B" and "A and B".

@ Set three R6P/AA batteries in the battery compartment in the

indicated direction.

%

@ Put the rear cover back on.

%

Notes en Batteries

• Use R6P/AA batteries in the remote control unit.

• The batteries should be replaced with new ones approximately

once a year, though this depends on the frequency of usage.

• Even if less than a year has passed, replace the batteries with new

ones if the set does not operate even when the remote control unit

is operated nearby the set. (The included battery is only for venfying

operation. Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.)

• When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper

direction, following the "O" and "0" marks in the battery

compartment.

• To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:

•Do not use a new battery together with an old one.

• Do not use two different types of batteries.

• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in

flames.

• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit when you do

not plan to use it for an extended period of time.

• if the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the inside

of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.

• When replacing the batteries, have the new batteries ready and

insert them as quickly as possible.

• Point the remote control unit at the remote sensor on the main unit

as shown on the diagram.

• The remote control unit can be used from a straight distance of

approximately 23 feet /7 meters from the main unit, but this

distance will be shorter if there are obstacles in the way or if the

remote control unit is not pointed directly at the remote sensor.

• The remote control unit can be operated at a horizontal angle of up

to 30 degrees with respect to the remote sensor.

NOTES:

• it may be difficult to operate the remote control unit if the remote

sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light.

• Do not press buttons on the main unit and remote control unit

simultaneously. Doing so may result in malfunction.

• Neon signs or other devices emitting pulse-type noise nearby may

result in malfunction, so keep the set as far away from such

devices as possible.

Surround parameters (_

CINEMA EQ. (Cinema Equalizer}:

The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the extreme high frequencies, compensating for ovedy-bdght 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 II, Dolby Digital, DTS Surround, DTS NEQ:6 and WIDE SCREEN modes (The same contents are set for

all operating modes)

D.COMR )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 Dolbv Digital or DTS) Select one of the four parameters

("OFF", "LOW', "MID" (middle) or "HI" (high)) Set to OFF for normal listening.

LFE (Low Frequency Effect}:

This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) sot_nds included in the source when playing program sot_rces recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS

If the sound produced from the subwoofer sounds distorted due to the LEE signals when playing Dolby Digital or DTS sources when the peak limiter is

turned off with the subwoofer peak limit level setting (system setup menu), adjust the level as necessary

Program source and adjustment range:

1. Dolby Digital: -10 dB to O dB

2. DTS Surround: -10 dB to 0 dB

"_ When DTS encoded movie software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to O dB for correct DTS playback.

[] DSP SURROUND SIMULATION

•The AVR-3803/1083 is equipped with a high performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor) which uses digital signal processing to synthetically

recreate the sound field. One of ten preset surround modes can be selected according to the program source and the parameters can be

adjusted according to the conditions in the listening room to achieve a more realistic, powerful sound. These surround modes can also be used

for program sources not recorded in Dolby Surround Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS.

Select this to achieve an atmosphere like that of a movie theater with a large screen h_this mode, all signal sources are played

I WIDE SCREEN in the 7 l-channel mode, including Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital 5 1-channel sources Effects simulating the multi surround

speakers of movie theaters are added to the surround channels

9 VIRTUAL Select this mode to enjoy a virtual sound field, produced from the front 2-channel speakers

The front left channel signals are output to the surround and surround back signal left channels, the front right channel signals are

1g 5CH/7CH STEREO output to the surround and surround back signal right channels, and the in-phase component of the left and right channels is output

to the center channel Use this mode to enjoy stereo sound

Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.

In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes.

NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one channel (left or right), so input

signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output {monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a "Y" adaptor

cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.

Personal Memory Plus

This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected for the

input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled.

-_ The surround parameters, tone control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for each

surround mode.

Surround parameters (_

MODE: (DTS NEO:6}

•Cinema

This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same

atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6.1 channel sources.

This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in conventional surround formats as well, because the in-phase component is assigned

mainly to the center channel (C} and the reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SB channels).

•Music

This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front channel (FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there is

no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals output from the center (C} and surround (SL, SR and SB) channels add a

natural sense of expansion to the sound field.

ROOM SIZE:

This sets the size of the sound field.

There are five settings: "small", "med.s" (medium sinai0, "medium", "med.l" (medium-large) and "large". "small" recreates a small sound

field, "large" a large sound field.

EFFECT LEVEL:

This sets the strength of the surround effect.

The level can be set in 15 steps from 1 to 15. Lower the level if the sound seems distorted.

DELAY TIME:

in the matrix mode only, the delay time can be set within the range of O to 300 ms.

TONE CONTROL:

This can be set individually for the separate surround modes other than Direct.

However, the same contents are set for DOLBY/DTS modes.

[] ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

There are currently various types of multi-channel signals (signals or formats with more than two channels).

•Types of multi-channel signals

Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS, high definition 3-1 signals (Japan MUSE Hi-Vision audio}, DVD-Audio, SACD (Super Audio CD), MPEG multi-

channel audio, etc.

"Source" here does not refer to the type of signal (format) but the recorded content. Sources can be divided into two major categories.

•Types of sources

• Movie audio Signals created to be played in movie theaters. In general sound is recorded to be played in movie theaters equipped

with multiple surround speakers, regardless of the format (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.).

In this case it is important to achieve the same sense of

expansion as in a movie theater with the surround channels.

To do so, in some cases the number of surround speakers is

increased (to four or eight) or speakers with bipolar or dipolar

properties are used.

SL: Surround Lchannel

SR: Surround R channel

SB: Surround back channel

(For 6 1-channel system)

• Other types of audio These signals are designed to recreate a 360 ° sound field using three to five speakers.

In this case the speakers should surround the listener from all sides to create a uniform sound

field from 360 °. Ideally the surround speakers should function as "point" sound sources in the

same way as the front speakers.

SL SR

These two types of sources thus have different properties, and different speaker settings, particularly for the surround speakers, are required

in order to achieve the ideal sound.

The AVR-3803/1083 is equipped the function of surround speakers selection that makes it possible to change the settings according to the I

combination of surround speakers being used and the surrounding environment in order to achieve the ideal surround sound for all sources. I

This means that you can connect a pair of bipolar or dipolar surround speakers (mounted on either side of the prime listening position), as well

as a separate par of d rect tad at ng monopo ar speakers p aced at the rear corners of the sten ng room.

72

A 6.1-channel system is a conventional 5.1-channel system to which the "surround back" (SB) channel has been added. This makes it easy to

achieve sound positioned directly behind the listener, something that was previously difficult with sources designed for conventional multi

surround speakers. In addition, the acoustic image extending between the sides and the rear is narrowed, thus greatly improving the expression

of the surround signals for sounds moving from the sides to the back and from the front to the point directly behind the listening position.

Movement of acoustic image from SR to SB to SL

With this set, speaker(s) for 1 or 2 channels are required to achieve a 6.1-channel system (DTS-ES, etc.}. Adding these speakers, however,

increases the surround effect not only with sources recorded in 6.1 channels but also with conventional 2- to 5.1-channel sources. The WIDE

SCREEN mode is a mode for achieving surround sound with up to 7.1 channels using surround back speakers, for sources recorded in

conventional Dolby Surround as well as Dolby Digital 5.1 channel and DTS Surround 5.1-channel sources. Furthermore, all the Denon original

surround modes (see page 62) are compatible with 7.1-channel playback, so you can enjoy 7.1 channel sound with any signal source.

•Number of surround back speakers

Though the surround back channel only consists of 1 channel of playback signals for 6.1-channel sources (DTS-ES, etc.), we recommend using

two speakers. When using speakers with dipolar characteristics in particular, it is essential to use two speakers.

Using two speakers results in a smoother blend with the sound of the surround channels and better sound positioning of the surround back

channel when listening from a position other than the center.

•Placement of the surround left and right channels when using surround back speakers

Using surround back speakers greatly improves the positioning of the sound at the rear. Because of this, the surround left and right channels

play an important role in achieving a smooth transition of the acoustic image from the front to the back. As shown on the diagram above, in a

movie theater the surround signals are also produced from diagonally in front of the listeners, creating an acoustic image as if the sound were

floating in space.

To achieve these effects, we recommend placing the speakers for the surround left and right channels slightly more towards the front than

with conventional surround systems. Doing so sometimes increases the surround effect when playing conventional 5.1-channel sources in the

6.1 surround or DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 mode. Check the surround effects of the various modes before selecting the surround mode.

73

Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up your system according to the type

of speakers used and the main usage purpose.

1. DTS-ES compatible system (using surround back speakers)

(1) Basic setting for primarily watching movies

This is recommended when mainly playing movies and using regular single way or 2-way speakers for the surround speakers.

Sulround back speakers

AS seen from above

•Set the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with the TV

or monitor screen as possible Set tile center speaker between the Surround speaker Surround back

front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position speaker Point sE_ghtly

than the front speakers downwards

• Consuk the owner's manual for your subwoofer for advice on placing

the subwoofer within the listening room

• If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar) then place

them slightly behind and at an angle to the listening position and

parallel to the walls at a position 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet)

above ear level at the prime listening position As seen from the side

• When using two surlound back speakers, place them at the back

facing the front at a narrower distance than the front left and dght speakers When using one surround back speaker,

place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers

• We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly downward facing angle This effectively prevents

the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the monitor or screen at the front center, resulting in inter[erence

and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp

• Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker A jacks on the AVR-3803/1083 and set all settings on the setup

menu to "A" {This is the factory default setting For details, see page 16[

(2) Setting for primarily watching movies using diffusion type speakers for the surround speakers

For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide a wider

dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating speaker (monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the prime listening

position, mounted above ear level.

Path Of the surround sound from the

speakers to the listening position

• 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 Point slightly

to the front of the viewing position, and 60 to 90 cm above the ears downwards

• Same as surround back speaker installation method (1)

Using dipolar speakers for the surround back speakers as well is

more effective

• Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker A iacks on

the AVR-3803/1083 and set all settings on the setup menu to "A"

(This is the factory default setting For details, see page 16) As seen from the side

• The signals from the surround channels reflect off the walls as

shown on the diagram at the left, creating an enveloping and realistic surround sound presentation

For multi-channel music sources however, the use of bipolar or dipolar

speakers mounted at the sides of the listening position may not be satifactory in order to create a coherent 360 degree

surround sound field Connect another pair of direct radiating speakers as described in example {3) and place them at

the rear corners of the room facing towards the prime listening position

The AVR-3803/1083 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the

same sense of presence as in a movie theater.

Dolby Surround

(1) Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories.

Dolby Digital consists of up to "5.1" channels -front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and an additional channel exclusively

reserved for additional deep bass sound effects {the Low Frequency Effects - LFE -channel, also called the ".1" channel, containing bass

frequencies of up to 120 Hz).

Unlike the analog Dolby Pro Logic format, Doiby Digital's main channels can all contain full range sound information, from the lowest bass, up

to the highest frequencies - 22 kHz. The signals within each channel are distinct from the others, allowing pinpoint sound imaging, and Dolby

Digital offers tremendous dynamic range from the most powerful sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and distortion.

2 Some DVD digital outputs have the function of switching the Dolby Digital signal output method between "bit stream" and "(convert to)

PCM". When playing in Dolby Digital surround on the AVR-3803/1083, switch the DVD player's output mode to "bit stream". In some cases

players are equipped with both "bit stream + PCM" and "PCM only" digital outputs. In this case connect the "bit stream + PCM" jacks

to the AVR-3803/1083.

(2) Dolby Pro Logic I1

• Dolby Pro Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic steering technology and

offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.

• Dolby Pro Logic I] can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Do]by Surround (-_ ) but also regular stereo sources into five channels

(front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve surround sound.

• Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited, Dolby Pro Logic I1offers a wider

band range (20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater). In addition, the surround channels were monaural {the surround left and right channels were the

same) with previous Dolby Pro Logic, but Dolby Pro Logic ff they are played as stereo signals.

• Various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so it is possible to achieve optimum decoding (see page

56).

Sources recorded in Dolby Surround

These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals using Dolby Surround

encoding technology.

Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and Video cassettes to be played on stereo VCRs, as well

as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV.

Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic ]1 makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback. The signals can also be

played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide normal stereo sound.

76

There are two types of DVD Dolby surround recording signals.

_ 2-channel PCM stereo signals

_2_ 2-channel Dolby Digital signals

When either of these signals is input to the AVR-3803/1083, the surround mode is automatically set to Dolby Pro Logic 1[ when the

"DOLBY/DTS SURROUND" mode is selected.

•Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the logo mark shown below.

Digital Theater Surround (also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems.

DTS offers the same "5.1" playback channels as Dolby Digital (front left, front right and center, surround left and surround right) as well as the

stereo 2-channel mode. The signals for the different channels are fully independent, eliminating the risk of deterioration of sound quality due to

interference between signals, crosstalk, etc.

DTS features a relatively higher bit rate as compared to Dolby Digital (1234 kbps for CDs and LDs, 1536 kbps for DVDs) so it operates with a

relatively low compression rate. Because of this the amount of data is great, and when DTS playback is used in movie theaters, a separate CD-

ROM synchronized with the film is played.

With LDs and DVDs, there is of course no need for an extra disc; the pictures and sound can be recorded simultaneously on the same disc, so

the discs can be handled in the same way as discs with other formats.

There are also music CDs recorded in DTS. These CDs include 5.1-channel surround signals (compared to two channels on current CDs). They do

not include picture data, but they offer surround playback on CD players that are equipped with digital outputs (PCM type digital output required).

DTS surround track playback offers the same intricate, grand sound as in a movie theater, right in your own listening room.

1 DTS signals are recorded in the same way on CDs and LDs as PCM signals. Because of this, the un-decoded DTS signals are output as

random "hissy" noise from the CD or LD player's analog outputs. If this noise is played with the amplifier set at a very high volume, it may

possibly cause damage to the speakers. To avoid this, be sure to switch the input mode to "AUTO" or "DTS" before playing CDs or LDs

recorded in DTS. Also, never switch the input mode to "ANALOG" or "PCM" during playback. The same holds true when playing CDs or

LDs on a DVD player or LD/DVD compatible player. For DVDs, the DTS signals are recorded in a special way so this problem does not occur.

_2 The signals provided at the digital outputs of a CD or LD player may undergo some sort of internal signal processing (output level

adjustment, sampling frequency conversion, etc.). In this case the DTS-encoded signals may be processed erroneously, in which case they

cannot be decoded by the AVR-3803/1083, or may only produce noise. Before playing DTS signals for the first time, turn down the master

volume to a low level, start playing the DTS disc, then check whether the DTS indicator on the AVR-3803/1083 (see page 59} lights before

turning up the master volume.

_3 A DVD player with DTS-compatible digital output is required to play DTS DVDs. A DTS Digital Output logo is featured on the front panel of

compatible DVD players. Recent DENON DVD player models feature DTS-compatible digital output - consult the player's owner's manual

for information on configuring the digital output for DTS playback of DTS-encoded DVDs.

DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new muki-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. While offering high compatibility

with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree surround impression and space

expression thanks to further expanded surround signals. This format has been used professionally in movie theaters since 1999.

In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the SB (Surround Back, sometimes

also referred to as "surround center") channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two signal

formats with different surround signal recording methods, as described below.

•DTS-ES TM Discrete 6.1

DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 is the newest recording format. With it, all 6.1 channels (including the SB channel) are recorded independently using a

digital discrete system. The main feature of this format is that because the SL, SR and SB channels are fully independent, the sound can be

designed with total freedom and it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic images are moving about freely among the background

sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees.

Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS-ES decoder, when played

with a conventional DTS decoder the SB channel signals are automatically down mixed to the SL and SR channels, so none of the signal

components are lost.

•DTS-ES TM Matrix 6.1

With this format, the additional SB channel signals undergo matrix encoding and are input to the SL and SR channels beforehand. Upon

playback they are decoded to the SL, SR and SB channels. The performance of the encoder used at the time of recording can be fully matched

using a high precision digital matrix decoder developed by DTS, thereby achieving surround sound more faithful to the producer's sound design

aims than with conventional 5.1- or 6.1 channel systems.

In addition, the bit stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, so the effect of the Matrix 6.1 format can be achieved

even with 5.1-channel signal sources. Of course it is also possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 encoded sources with a DTS 5.1-channel decoder.

When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 encoded sources are decoded with a DTS-ES decoder, the format is automatically detected upon

decoding and the optimum playing mode is selected. However, some Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected as having a 5.1 channel format, so the

DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 mode must be set manually to play these sources.

(For instructions on selecting the surround mode, see page 59.)

The DTS-ES decoder includes another function, the DTS Neo:6 surround mode for 6.1-channel playback of digital PCM and analog signal sources.

•DTS Neo:6 TM surround

This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1-

channel surround playback. High precision input signal detection and matrix processing enable furl band reproduction (frequency response of

20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) for all 6.1 channels, and separation between the different channels is improved to the same level as that of a digital

discrete system.

DTS Neo:6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source.

• DTS Nee:6 Cinema

This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same

atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources.

This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in conven6onsl surround formats as well, because the in-phase component is assigned

mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SB channels}.

• DTS Nee:6 Music

This mode is suited mainly for playing music. Changes in the sound quality are reduced by decoding with emphasis on the front channel

signals (FL and FR), and a natural sense of expansion is given to the sound field by the effect of the surround signals output from the center

(C} and surround (SL, SR and SB) channels.

78

The sampling frequency, number of bits and number of channels used for recording of music, etc., in studios has been increasing _nrecent years,

and there are a growing number of high quality signal sources, including 96 kHz/24 bit 5.1-channel sources.

For example, there are high picture/sound quality DVD video sources with 96 kHz/24 bit stereo PCM audio tracks.

However, because the data rate for these audio tracks is extremely high, there are limits to recording them on two channels only, and since the

quality of the pictures must be restricted it is common to only include still pictures.

In addition, 96 kHz/24 bit 5.1-channel surround is possible with DVD audio sources, but DVD audio players are required to play them with this high

quality.

DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems inc. in order to deal with this situation.

Conventional surround formats used sampling frequencies of 48 or 44.1 kHz, so 20 kHz was about the maximum playback signal frequency. With

DTS 96/24, the sampling frequency is increased to 96 or 88.2 kHz to achieve a wide frequency range of over 40 kHz.

In addition, DTS 96/24 has a resolution of 24 bits, resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24 bit PCM.

As with conventional DTS Surround, DTS 96/24 is compatible with a maximum of 5.1 channels, so sources recorded using DTS 96/24 can be

played in high sampling frequency, multiple channel audio with such normal media as DVD videos and CDs.

Thus, with DTS 96/24, the same 96 kHz/24 bit multi-channel surround sound as with DVD-Audio can be achieved while viewing DVD-Video images

on a conventional DVD-Video player (_ 1). Furthermore, with DTS 96/24 compatible CDs, 88.2 kHz/24 bit multi-channel surround can be achieved

using normal CD/LD players (_ 1).

Even with the high quality multi-channel signals, the recording time is the same as with conventional DTS surround sources.

What's more, DTS 96/24 is fully compatible with the conventional DTS surround format, so DTS 96/24 signal sources can be played with a

sampling frequency of 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz on conventional DTS or DTS-ES surround decoders ( _ 2).

,_ 1 : A DVD player with DTS digital output capabilities (for CD/LD players, a player with digital outputs for conventional DTS CDs/LDs) and a

disc recorded in DTS 96/24 are required.

_2: The resolution is 24 or 20 bits, depending on the decoder.
