3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

l 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.

l 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-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.

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.

Dolby Digital

Using advanced digital processing algorithms, Dolby Digital

provides up to 5.1 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 direct-to-home services.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, hiqh fidelity

surrobnd sound; from sources such as laser -disc, bVD an6

specially-encoded music discs.

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 rigorous 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.

THX Surround EX

The AVR-5803 is fully compatible with THX Surround EX, the latest

surround format.

DTS-ES Extended Surround and DTS Neo:B

The AVR-5803 is compatible with DTS-ES Extended Surround, a new

multi-channel format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc.

The AVR-5803 is also compatible with DTS Neo:6. a surround mode

allowing 6.lchannel playback of regular stereo sources.

DTS 96/24 compatibility

The AVR-5803 is compatible with sources recorded in DTS 96/24, a

new multichannel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater

Systems Inc.

DTS 96/24 sources can be played in the multichannel mode on the

AVR-5803 with high sound quality of 96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2 kHz/24 bits.

Dolby Pro Logic II decoder

Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing multichannel 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.

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.

l 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.

lO.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:

(I) 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 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-5803 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.

ll.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.

(I) Multi-zone 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 multi-

zone 1 selector are output.

(2) Multi-zone 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 multi-

zone 2 speaker terminals for playback.

12.Gomponent Video Switching

The AVR-5803 provides 3 sets of component video (Y, 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-5803 is also equipped with a function for up-converting

composite video or S-Video signals to component video signals.

13.Video Select Function

Allow you to watch one source (visual) while listening to another

source (audio).
