• Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16
O/ohms. When using front A and B speakers
simultaneously, use speakers with an impedance
of 12 to 16 O/ohms.
• Connect the speaker cables in such a way that
they do not stick out of the speaker terminals.
The protection circuit may be activated if the core
wires touch the rear panel or if the + and - sides
touch each other (_ "Protection circuit").
"Never touch the speaker terminals while the
power supply is connected. Doing so could result
in electric shock.
If speakers with an impedance lower than specified
(for example 4 O/ohms speakers) are used for an
extended period of time with the volume turned
up high, the temperature may rise, activating the
_rotection circuit.
When the protection circuit is activated, the
speaker output is shut off and the power indicator
flashes red. If this happens, unplug the power
cord, then check the speaker cable and input cable

÷ The AVR-488 is equipped for HDMI version 1.3a. This version is compatible with other versions, allowing
connection to all components equipped with an HDMI connector.
÷ The AVR-488 is compatible with 30- and 36-bit Deep Color.
The AVR488 can be connected to a device equipped with an HDMI output connector using an HDMI
cable.
÷ The AVR-488 is compatible with HDMI Ver. 1.3a Deep Color and xvYCC.
• The audio signal input to the HDMI input connector cannot be played on the AVR-488. Input the audio
signal to the digital audio input connector or analog audio input connector.
The AVR-488 cannot be controlled from another device via the HDMI cable.
• Video signals are not output if the input video signals de not match the monitor's resolution. In this case,
switch the DVD player's resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is compatible.
Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI product) for connection to the HDMI
connector. Normal playback may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the HDMI
logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certified product).
• If the monitor or DVD player does not support Deep Color, deep color signal transfer is not possible.
If the monitor or DVD player does not support xvYCC, xvYCC signal transfer is not possible.
• The audio and video signals input to the AVR-488's HDMI input connector are output unchanged from
the HDMI output connector. Because of this, the sound is output from the monitor connected using
the HDMI connectors, but in order to take full advantage of the AVR-488's playback sound, turn the TV's
volume down.
If the connected monitor or DVD player only has a DVI-D connector, use an HDMI/DVI converter cable.
When using a DVI cable, no audio signals are transmitted.
• Use a Deep Color compatible cable for connection to Deep Color compatible devices.
HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI format.
When connecting to a monitor; etc., equipped with a DVI-D connector, connection is possible using an
HDMI/DVI converter cable, but depending on the combination of components in some cases the video
signals will not be output.
"When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video signals may not be output properly
due to poor connections with the connected cable, etc.

The AVR488 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 Digital is a multichannel digital signal format developed by Dolby
Laboratories.
A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels ('FL" ,"FR" and
"C"), 2 surround channels ("SI/: and "SR") and the "LFE" channel for
low frequencies.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic
sound field with a "three-dimensional" feeling (sense of distance,
movement and positioning) is achieved.
A real, overpowering sense of presence is achieved when playing
movie sources in AV rooms as well.
Dolby Pro Logic l] is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories.
Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5-channels to
achieve an excellent surround effect.
The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band
signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater)
to create a "three-dimensional" sound image offering a rich sense of
presence for all stereo sources.

Neural Surround TM, a breakthrough in audio technology, will bring the
excitement of surround music to more of America's listening audience.
It provides the rich envelopment and discrete image detail of surround
sound in a format 100 % compatible with stereo. With superior
spectral resolution and channel separation, Neural Surround TM draws
the brain's attention to sonic details in musical instruments, vocals,
and ambience that are typically masked by other playback systems.
This allows the listener to fully experience the richness and subtleties
in recorded performance as never before. As the chosen format for XM
Satellite Radio's new XM HD surround programming, Neural Surround
will help deliver more surround music to more listeners than any other
broadcast format. XM Satellite Radio will be the first radio company to
broadcast surround sound on the radio 24 hours a day and will offer
three channels fully dedicated to Neural Surround TM music. This alone
will amount to more than 25,000 hours of Neural Surround TM music
each year.
