• Whenever the power switch is in the STANDBY state, the
apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage.
Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for,
say, a vacation.

• Muting of PRE OUT jacks and SPEAKER terminals
The PRE OUT jacks 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-setup
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 dual 32 bit high speed DSP processors, operating
entirely in digital domain, surround sound from digital sources
such as DVD, DTV and satellite are faithfully re=created
2. Dolby Digital
Using advanced digital processing
algorithms,
Dolby Digital
provides up to 51 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround
sound. Dolby Digital is the default digital audio delivery system for
North American DVD and DTV, and is available on laser discs as
well as some digital satellite direct4o-home services.
3. DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
DTS provides up to 51 channels of wide-range, high fidelity
surround sound, from sources such as laser disc, DVD and
specially-encoded music discs.
4. Lucasfilm Home THX Ultra2 Certified
Home THX is the unique collaboration between Lucasfilm Ltd and
audio equipment manufacturers. THX Ultra2 certification is the
highest performance
level, and provides a ngorous set of
performance
standards, along with proprietary surround sound
post-processing technologies, designed to enhance the surround
soundtrack playback experience in the home theater
In addition to improvements to the power amplifier with respect
to previous THX Ultra standards, two surround modes have been
added: the THX Ultra2 Cinema mode and the THX Music mode
5. THX Surround EX
The AVR-BB03 is fully compatible
surround format.

with THX Surround EX, the latest

6. DTS-ES Extended Surround and DTS Neo:6
The AVR_5803 is compatible with DTS_ES Extended Surround, a new
muIt -channel format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc.
The AVR-5803 is also compatible with DTS Neo:B, a surround mode
allowing 6.1-channel playback of regular stereo sources.
7. DTS 96/24 compatibility
The AVR_BB03 is compatible with sources recorded in DTS 96/24, a
new multi channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater
Systems lnc
DTS 96/24 sources can be played in the muir-channel mode on the
AVR-BB03 with high sound quality of 96 kHz!24 bits or 882 kHz/24 bits
8. Dolby Pro Logic 1I decoder
Dolby Pro Logic ][ is a new format for playing multichannel audio
signals that offers improvements
over conventional
Do(by 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/dght). 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.
9. Wide screen mode for a 7.t-channel sound even with
5.1-channel sources
DENQN 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

10.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 thblling
surround sound music listening.
Producers of multFchannel 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-BBO3 provides the ability to connect two
different sets of surround speakers, and place them in the
appropriate locations in your home theater room, so that you
can enjoy both movie soundtracks and music listening, with
optimum results and no compromise
11.Multi-zone control
The AVR=5803 is equipped with two sets of multi-zone outputs
allowing a source other than the one currently being played to be
selected.
(1) MultFzone 1
These are level adjustable pre-outputs.
(A fixed output level
can also be selected.)
The video signals of the input source selected with the multF
zone 1 selector are output
(2) MultFzone 2
When set at the System Setup Menu, the power amplifier for
the surround back channel can be used as the multi-zone 2
power amplifier and speakers can be connected to the multF
zone 2 speaker terminals for playback
12.Component Video Switching
The AVR-B803 provides 3 sets of component video (% R_Y, B_Y)
inputs for the DVD, TV and DBS/SAT inputs, and one set of
component video outputs to the television, for superior picture
quality
The AVR-BBO3 is also equipped with a function for up-converting
composite video or SWideo signals to component video signals.
13.Video Select Function
Allow you to watch one source (visual) while listening to another
source (audio).

14.Seven Identical Power Amplifiers
Featuring discrete high current power transistors, the power amp
section is THX Ultra certified for top performance with the widest
range of speaker systems. Rated at 170 watts into 8 _2/ohms, the
amp channels feature additional low impedance drive capability
15.Future Sound Format Upgrade Capability via Eight Channel
Inputs & Outputs
For future multi=channel audio format(s), the AVR=BS03 is provided
with 71 channel (seven main channels, plus one low frequency
effects channel} inputs, along with a full set of 71 channel preamp outputs, controlled by the 8 channel master volume control.
This assures future upgrade possibilities for any future multichannel sound format
A/D converters are provided for each channel for digital downm_xlng compatibility.

17.DENON Link
This terminal can be used to connect a Denon DVD player for high
quality digital multichannel playback.
18.Auto Surround Mode
This function stores the surround mode last used for an hqput
signal in the memory and automagcally sets that surround mode
the next time that signal is input.
19.Audio Delay
This is a function for delaying the audio signal with respect to the
video signal. (0 to 200 msec)
20.Setup Lock
This is a function that locks the system setup and surround
parameter settings, etc., so that they cannot be changed

16.Dolby Headphone Compatibility
This is a three=dimensional sound technology developed jointly by
Dolby Laboratories and Lake Technology Ltd. of Australia for
achieving surround sound using regular headphones.

• A note on the S input jacks
The input selectors for the S inputs and pin jack inputs work in conjunction with each other
• Precaution when using S-jacks
This unit's S-jacks (input and output) and video pin jacks (input and output) have independent circuit structures, so that video signals input from
the S-jacks are only output from the S-jack outputs and video signals input from the pin jacks are only output from the pin jack outputs.
When connecting this unit with equipment that is equipped with S-jacks, keep the above point in mind and make connections according to the
equipment's instruction manuals.
For a description of the MONITOR OUT terminals, see page 10.

MONITOR

OUT jacks

The AVR-BB03 is equipped with a function for up converting video signals
Because of this, the AVR-BB03's MONITOR OUT jack can be connected to the monitor (TV) with a single cable offering a higher quality connection,
regardless of how the player and the AVR-B803's video input iacks 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-BB03's MONITOR OUT jack is not connected to the monitor (TV) using the component video jacks, connect the player to the AVR5B03'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-BBO3 are only connected with the component video jacks.

• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure
that like polarities are matched ( (_ with (_ , (_ with e ).
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
• Speakers with an tmpedance of from 6 to 16 £_/ohms can be
connected for use as front and center speakers
• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 £_/ohms can be connected
for use as 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.

NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on,
Doing so could result in electric shocks.

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.

The AVR-5803 is equipped with a cooling fan to prevent the temperature inside the set from rising. The fan is activated
under certain usage conditions. It is temperature and volume level sensitive, to minimize or prevent audible fan noise.

Playback

using the DENON Link connector

Digital transfer and multi-channel playback of DVD audio discs and other multi-channel sources is possible by connecting the AVR-5803 to a
Denon DVD player equipped with a Denon Link connector using the connection cable included with the DVD player.
With discs on which special copyright protection measures have been taken, however, the digital signals may not be output from the DVD
player. In this case, connect the DVD player's analog multi=channel output to the AVR-5803's EXTIN_I or EXTIN=2 terminals for playback
Also refer to your DVD player's operating instructions.

PURE DIRECT mode
In this mode, the music is played with an extremely high level
of sound quality
When this mode is set, all the video-related circuits are turned
off so that music signals can be reproduced with high quality.
When an analog input (phono, etc) is selected, the digital
processing circuitry is also turned off to achieve analog sound
with even higher purity

SYSTEM

• When the outputs of the MULTI ZONE AUDIO OUT terminals are wired and connected to integrated amplifiers installed in other rooms, different
sources can be played in rooms other than the main room in which this unit and the playback devices are installed (Refer to ANOTHER ROOM
on the diagram below.)
• When a sold separately room-to-room remote control unit (DENON RC-616, 617 or 618) is wired and connected between the main room and
another room, the remote-controllable
devices in the main room can be controlled from another room using the remote control unit
To control playback devices other than the ones above, either use that device's remote control unit or preset a separately sold programmable
remote control unit

NOTES:
• For the AUDIO output, use high quality pin®lug cords and wire tn such a way that there is no humming or no4se
• For instructions on instaflation and operation of separately sold devices, refer to the devices' operating instructions.

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 (EX), Dolby Pro Logic, DTS (ES), high definition
MPEG multi=channel audio, etc.
"Source"

3-1 signals (Japan MUSE Hi=Vision audio), DVD-Audio,

here does not refer to the type of signal (format) but the recorded content.

2 Types of sources
• Movie audio

SACD (Super Audio CD),

Sources can be divided into two major categones

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

• 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

These two types of sources thus have different

for the surround speakers, are required

The THX Surround EX format adds new "Surround

Back" (SB) channels to the conventional

5.1_channel system

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

Speaker(s) for one or two channels are required in order to achieve a THX Surround EX system with the AVR_5803. Adding these, however, allows
you to achieve stronger surround effects not only with sources recorded in THX Surround EX, but also with conventional 2- to 51 channel sources.
The WIDE SCREEN mode is a mode for achieving surround sound with up to 7.I channels using surround back speakers, for sources recorded
in conventional Dolby Surround as well as Dolby Digital B 1-channel and DTS Surround B 1-channel sources Furthermore, all the Denon original
surround modes (see page 61) are compatible with 7 %channel playback, so you can enjoy 7 1-channel sound with any signal source

• Number of surround back speakers
With THX Surround EX, the surround back channel consists of one channel of playback signals, but we recommend using two speakers When
using dipolar speakers 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
THX Surround EX mode. Check the surround effects of the various modes before selecting the surround mode
