Additional functions
Audyssey Dynamic Volume®
Audyssey Dynamic Volume® is technology that solves the problem
of large variations in volume level between television programs,
commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies.
DENON LINK 4th (Jitter-free playback)
DENON LINK 4th adds high-quality playback of HD audio in addition to
the outstanding performance of DENON LINK 3rd, high quality audio
signal transmission technology developed by DENON.
By connecting an AV amplifier and Blu-ray Disc player that both
support DENON LINK 4th with a DENON LINK cable (supplied with
the Blu-ray Disc player) and HDMI cable (sold separately), you can
control the Blu-ray Disc player using the master clock signal sent from
the AV amplifier.
As D/A conversion is performed by the AV amplifier master clock,
there are no effects of clock jitter from the HDMI transfer, enabling
jitter free playback.
Sound localization becomes clearer, producing the clear sense of
space in the sound images that can only be achieved from HD audio.
Audyssey DSX™
By connecting front height speakers to this unit and playing back
through Audyssey DSX™, you can experience a more powerful
playback expression in the height audio range. By connecting front
wide speakers, you can experience a more powerful playback
expression in the wide audio range.
When this product is upgraded, all settings return to the
default settings. Reconfigure settings as required.
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-channel and 7.1-channel content, Dolby
Pro Logic gz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth and dimension
to movies, concert video and video game 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 Explanation of terms 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.

This unit can output 3D video signals input from a Blu-ray Disc player
to a TV that supports a 3D system.

Auto Setup
When this unit is upgraded, the “Auto Setup”
contents are returned to the default settings.
When configuring the “Auto Setup” settings, refer
to this version of the Owner's Manual instead of
the “Original version”.
The acoustic characteristics of the connected speakers and
listening room are measured and the optimum settings are made
automatically. This is called “Auto Setup”.
To perform measurement, place the setup microphone in multiple
locations all around the listening area. For best results, we
recommend you measure in six or more positions, as shown in
the illustration (up to eight positions).
• When performing Auto Setup, Audyssey MultEQ® XT 32/Dynamic
EQ®/Dynamic Volume® functions become active (vpage 41, 42).
• To set up the speakers manually, use “Manual Setup” – “Speaker
Setup”(vpage 23 ~ 25) on the menu.
NOTE
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt
the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones,
televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent 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).
• Do not unplug the setup microphone from the main unit until Auto
Setup is completed.
• 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.
• Loud test sounds may be played during Auto Setup. This is part of
normal operation. If there is background noise in room, these test
signals will increase in volume.
•Operating the MASTER VOLUME knob or main remote control
VOL +/– button during measurement cancels the measurement.
•Measurement cannot be performed when headphones are connected.
Before performing Auto Setup, disconnect the headphone plug.
About setup microphone placement
• Measurements are performed by placing the setup microphone
successively at multiple positions throughout the entire listening
area, as shown in GExample qH. For best results, we recommend
you measure in six or more positions, as shown in the illustration (up
to eight positions).
• 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.

n About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position is the position where listeners would
normally sit or where one would normally sit alone within the
listening environment. Before starting Auto Setup, place the
setup microphone in the main listening position. MultEQ® XT 32
uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker
distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the
subwoofer.

Getting Started Connections Other Operations Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting SpecificationsSetup
1Set up the subwoofer
If using a subwoofer capable of the following adjustments, set
up the subwoofer as shown below.
n When using a subwoofer with a direct mode
Set the direct mode to “On” and disable the volume adjustment
and crossover frequency setting.
n When using a subwoofer without a direct mode
Make the following settings:
• Volume : “12 o’clock position”
• Crossover frequency : “Maximum/Highest Frequency”
• Low pass filter : “Off”
• Standby mode : “Off”
Before starting Auto Setup 2Set up the microphone
Mount the setup microphone on a tripod or stand and
place it in the main listening position.
When placing the setup microphone, adjust the height of the
sound receptor to the level of the listener’s ear.
When starting Auto Setup, always use the supplied
setup microphone (DM-A409).
Correct measurements cannot be taken if the setup
microphone from the prior upgrade (DM-A505Z) is
used.
Sound receptor
Setup microphone
If you do not have a tripod or stand, set up the microphone on, for
example, a seat without a back.
NOTE
• Do not hold the setup microphone in your hand during
measurements.
• Avoid placing the setup microphone close to a seat back or wall as
sound reflections may give inaccurate results.

Test tones are output from the various speakers.
w Use the o p button to adjust so that the volume is equal for all

• The level of each channel should be adjusted to 75 dB (Cweighted,
slow meter mode) on a sound level meter at the listening position. If
a sound level meter is not available adjust the channels by ear so the
sound levels are the same. Because adjusting the subwoofer level
test tone by ear is difficult, use a well known music selection and
adjust for natural balance.
• Speakers set to “None” in the “Speaker Configuration” settings are
not displayed.
• When “Channel Level” is adjusted, the adjusted values are set for
all the surround modes. To adjust the channel level separately for

from the subwoofer that has a frequency below the frequency set
here is output.
Set this according to the low frequency reproduction capabilities of the
speakers you are using.
Advanced :

• Please set all THX Certified speakers, set the “Speaker Configuration”
for all speakers to “Small”. We recommend using with the crossover
frequency set to “FIXED–THX–”, but depending on the speaker,
setting it to a different frequency may improve frequency response
near the crossover frequency.
• The “Crossover Frequency” can be set when there are speakers
that have been set to “Small” at GUI menu “Speaker Configuration”
or when “Subwoofer” is set to “Yes” (vpage 23).
• At the “Advanced” settings, if the “Subwoofer Setup” (vpage 24)
setting is set to “LFE–THX–”, GUI menu speakers for which “Speaker
Configuration” is set to “Small” can be set. If set to “LFE+Main”,
the setting can be made regardless of the speaker size.
• For speakers set to “Small”, sound below the crossover frequency
is cut from the sound output. The cut bass sound is output from the
subwoofer or front speakers.

About the RESTORER function
• Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media
Audio) and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating
signal components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The
RESTORER function generates the signals eliminated upon
compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those of the
original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of
volume of the bass to obtain richer sound with compressed audio
signals.
• This is displayed on the GUI menu and can be set when the input
source is set to “NET/USB”, or when analog signals or PCM signals
(fs = 44.1/48 kHz) are input.

About Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion
(A-DSX)
Audyssey DSX™ is a scalable system that adds new speakers to
improve surround impression.
Starting with a 5.1 system Audyssey DSX™ first adds Wide channels
for the biggest impact on envelopment. Research in human hearing
has proven that information from the Wide channels is much more
critical in the presentation of a realistic soundstage than the Back
Surround channels found in traditional 7.1 systems. Audyssey DSX™
then creates a pair of Height channels to reproduce the next most
important acoustical and perceptual cues. In addition to these new
Wide and Height channels, Audyssey DSX™ applies Surround
Envelopment Processing to enhance the blend between the front
and surround channels.
• “Audyssey DSX™” can be set when you are using front height
speakers or front wide speakers.
• “Audyssey DSX™” is only valid when using a center speaker.
• “Audyssey DSX™” is valid when surround mode is STANDARD
mode other than PLgz Height or DTS NEO:X.
• “A-DSX Soundstage” cannot be configured if the HD Audio source
being played includes Front height and Front wide channels. In
this case, the respective channels are played back using the input
signals.

Amp Assign / Multi-Zone Connections and Operations AVC-A1HD
This unit is compatible with the following types of playback:
• Multi-zone playback (ZONE2 & ZONE3)
• Bi-amp playback (front speaker)
• Bi-wiring playback (front speaker)
NOTE
• For bi-amp and bi-wiring playback, use speakers compatible with that type of connection.
• When conducting bi-amp or bi-wiring playback, remove the short-circuiting boards (or wires) from the
speaker terminals.
Multi-Zone Settings with the Amp Assign Function
The amp assign function lets you assign the amplifiers for the different channels built into the this unit to
the speaker outputs for the different zones.
Select the desired playback environment from among “Setting 1” to “Setting 16”, then set the corresponding
“Amp Assign” mode at GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Option Setup” – “Amp Assign” (vpage 28).
Connect the speakers as described at “Speaker connections”.
With “Setting 2” to “Setting 6”, “Setting 8” to “Setting 10”, “Setting 12” and “Setting 13”, it is possible
to switch the Amp Assign mode between the 9.1/7.1-channel mode and the multi-zone mode without
changing the speaker connections.
When the upgrade is performed, “Amp assignment settings” and “Multi-
zone connection method” are returned to the default settings.
When configuring the “Amp Assign/Multi-Zone Connections and Operations”
settings, refer to this version of the Owner's Manual instead of the “Original
version” .

This unit is compatible with Audyssey DSX™ (vpage 63), Dolby
Pro Logic gz (vpage 63) and DTS NEO:X (vpage 63), which

When using Dolby Pro Logic gz, install front height speakers.
Other Information
About Speaker Installation When surround back/front height/front
wide speakers are installed DENON LINK 4th adds high-quality playback of HD audio in addition to
the outstanding performance of DENON LINK 3rd, high quality audio
signal transmission technology developed by DENON.
By connecting an AV amp and Blu-ray Disc player that both support
DENON LINK 4th with a DENON LINK cable (supplied with the Blu-ray
Disc player) and HDMI cable (sold separately), you can control the Blu-
ray Disc player using the master clock signal sent from the AV amp.
As D/A conversion is performed by the AV amp master clock, there
are no effects of clock jitter from the HDMI transfer, enabling jitter
free playback. Sound localization becomes clearer, producing the clear
sense of space in the sound images that can only be achieved from
HD audio.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ®
Dynamic EQ® solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as
volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and
room acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ® works in tandem with
Audyssey MultEQ® XT 32 to provide well-balanced sound for every
listener at any volume level.
Audyssey Dynamic Volume®
Dynamic Volume® solves the problem of large variations in volume
level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft
and loud passages of movies. Audyssey Dynamic EQ® is integrated
into Dynamic Volume® so that as the playback volume is adjusted
automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround
impression, and dialog clarity remain the same.
Audyssey MultEQ® XT 32
MultEQ® XT 32 is a room equalization solution that calibrates any
audio system so that it can achieve optimum performance for every
listener in a large listening area. Based on several room measurements,
MultEQ® XT 32 calculates an equalization solution that corrects for
both time and frequency response problems in the listening area and
also performs a fully automated surround system setup.
Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion™
(Audyssey DSX™)
Audyssey DSX™ is a scalable system that adds new speakers to
improve surround impression. Audyssey DSX™ first adds Wide
channels for the biggest impact on envelopment and then creates
Height channels to reproduce the next most important acoustical
and perceptual cues. Surround Envelopment Processing is used to
enhance the blend between the front and surround channels.
Manufactured under license from Audyssey Laboratories™.
