Protection circuit
If the core wires touch the rear panel and the screws
etc., or the ± sides touch each other, the protection
circuit will be activated and the power indicator will
flash red at intervals of 0.5 secs.
If the protection circuit is activated, the speaker
output is isolated, and the power supply goes to
the standby state. If the power supply is turned off,
after the power supply cord is withdrawn, please
confirm that speaker cable and input cable are
connected.
Also, if replaying large sound levels by using
a speaker having an impedance less than that
specified (eg, 4 Ω/ohms), the temperature will rise,
and the protection circuit might be activated. The
power supply will go into the standby state, and the
power indicator will flash red at 2 second intervals.
In this case, please switch off the power supply,
and wait until the AVR-890 has cooled down, and
the surrounding ventilation is good.
Even if there are no problems with the surrounding
ventilation and connections, in the event of the
protection circuit becoming activated, due to
thinking that the AVR-890 has failed, please contact
DENON Service center after switching off.

Important Information
n About HDMI
“HDMI” is the abbreviation of “High Definition Multimedia
Interface”. This interface allows transfer of digital video signals
and digital audio signals over a single HDMI cable.
n Functions usable with HDMI connections
Deep Color
Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and
subtle gradations between colors.
x.v.Color
Enables displays with natural, vivid colors. “x.v.Color” is a Sony
registered trademark.
Auto Lip Sync (vpage 30)
HDMI 1.3 incorporates an automatic video/audio synching capability
that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with
total accuracy.
HDMI control function (vpage 30, 52)
This function allows you to operate external devices from the receiver
and operate the receiver from external devices.
“HDMI”, “HDMI logo” and “High-Definition Multimedia Interface”
are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.
NOTE
• 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 (v“Protection circuit”).
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is
connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.
1 Peel off about 0.03 ft / 10 mm of sheathing
from the tip of the speaker cable, then either
twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.
2 Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise
to loosen it.
3 Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the hilt
into the speaker terminal.
4Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten
it.
Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. When using front
A and B speakers simultaneously, use speakers with an impedance of
12 to 16 Ω/ohms.
n When using a banana plug
Tighten the speaker terminal firmly before
inserting the banana plug.
Connecting the Speaker Cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and –
(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the AVR-890,
and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
wq wq
(R) (L)
When in the “Front A Bi-Amp” and “Front B Bi-Amp” modes, the
same signals are output from the front speaker terminals and the AMP
ASSIGN terminals.
About Bi-amp Connections
These connections make for higher quality playback sound with no
interference between the signals of the bass and treble units.
When the amplifier assignment mode is set to “Front A Bi-Amp” or
“Front B Bi-Amp”, connect as shown below. (The illustration shows a
connection example for the front B Bi-Amp speakers.)

Getting Started Connections Playback Remote Control Information Troubleshooting Specifi cationsMulti-Zone
The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and
listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made
automatically.
NOTE
• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey Auto Setup. This is
part of normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these
test signals will increase in volume.
• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow
obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This
will cause inaccurate readings.
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt
the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones,
televisions, radios, air conditioners, fl uorescent lights, home
appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may
be affected by these sounds.
Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during
the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in
use).
Audyssey MultEQ® automatically measures the acoustical
problems in the listening environment to create the best audio
experience for your home theater.
• When Audyssey™ Auto Setup is performed, MultEQ®, Dynamic
EQ™ and Dynamic Volume™ functions (vpage 48) are enabled.
• Use the included setup microphone (DM-A409) to perform Audyssey
Auto Setup.
• Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone
successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as
shown in GExample qH. For best results, it is strongly recommended
to measure 6 positions so that the measurements have the proper
spatial weighting.
Even if the listening environment is small as shown in GExample wH,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment
results in more effective correction.

Important Information
About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the most central position where
one would normally sit within the listening environment.
MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value
for the subwoofer.

Other Information
The AVR-890 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
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 (“SL” 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 Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal format that is
compatible with up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound and also
improves sound quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance. It
is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby Digital, so it offers
greater flexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions
of the playback equipment.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories, using lossless coding technology to faithfully reproduce
the sound of the studio master.
This format is compatible with a maximum sampling frequency of 96
kHz and up to 7.1-channels, so it is used for applications particularly
prioritizing sound quality.
Dolby Pro Logic gx
Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic
g matrix decoding technology.
Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural
sound with up to 7.1-channels.
There are 3 modes: “Music” suited for playing music, “Cinema”
suited for playing movies, and “Game” which is optimized for playing
games.
Dolby Pro Logic g
Dolby Pro Logic g 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.
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.
“Dolby”, “Pro Logic” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of
Dolby Laboratories.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is a 6.1-channel surround format proposed by Dolby
Laboratories that allows users to enjoy in their homes the “DOLBY
DIGITAL SURROUND EX” audio format jointly developed by Dolby
Laboratories and Lucas Films.
The 6.1 channels of sound, including surround back channels, provide
improved sound positioning and expression of space.
Surround
Dolby Surround
Dolby Pro Logic gz
Dolby Pro Logic gz introduces a new dimension to Home Entertainment
through the addition of a pair of front height channels. Compatible with
stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 content, Dolby Pro Logic gz provides enhanced
spaciousness, depth and dimension to movies, concert video and
videogame playback while maintaining the full integrity of the source
mix.
Dolby Pro Logic gz identifies and decodes spatial cues that occur
naturally in all content, directing this information to the front height
channels, complementing the performance of left and right surround
sound speakers. Content that is encoded with Dolby Pro Logic
gz height channel information can be even more revealing, with
perceptually discrete height channel information bringing an exciting
new dimension to home entertainment. Dolby Pro Logic gz, with
front height channels is also an ideal alternative for households that
cannot support the placement of back surround speakers of a typical
7.1 channel system but may have bookshelf space available to support
the addition of height speakers.
