    Connections

    Connecting the Speaker Cables

    Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and (black) polarities on the speakers beingconnected to the AVR-1909, and be sure t o interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.

    1Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from the tip of the speaker cable,

    then either twist the core wire tightly or terminate it.

    2Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen it.

    3Insert the speaker cables core wire to the hilt into the speaker

    terminal.

    4Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.

    NOTE Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 /ohms. When using front A and B speakers simultaneously,

    use speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 /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 eachother (vProtection circuit).

    Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is connected. Doing so could result in electricshock.

    Protection circuitIf the core wires touch the rear panel and the screws etc., or the sides touch each other, the protec-tion 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 thestandby state. If the power supply is turned off, after the power supply cord is withdrawn, please con-firm that speaker cable and input cable are connected.Also, if replaying large sound levels by using a speaker having an impedance less than that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 /ohms), the temperature will rise, and the protection circuit might be activated. The power supplywill 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-1909 has cooled down, and thesurrounding ventilation is good.Even if there are no problems with the surrounding ventilation and connections, in the event of the pro-

    tection circuit becoming activated, due to thinking that the AVR-1909 has failed, please contact DENONService center after switching off.

    bThe AVR-1909 is equipped for HDMIversion 1.3a. This version is compatiblewith other versions, allowing connectionto all components equipped with an HDMIconnector.

    bThe AVR-1909 is compatible with 30- and 36-bit Deep Color.

    Copyright protection system (HDCP)In order to play the digital video and audio signals of a Blu-ray, DVD- Video or DVD-Audio disc using HDMI/

    DVI connections, both the connected Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player and monitor must be equipped fora copyright protection system called HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).HDCP is a copy protection technology consisting of data encoding and mutual identification of thedevices.The AVR-1909 is HDCP-compatible. For details on the Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player or monitor you areusing, refer to its operating instructions.

    When the AVR-1909 and Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player are connected using an HDMI cable, alsoconnect the AVR-1909 and monitor using an HDMI cable.

    If the connected monitor or Blu-ray Disc player / 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.

    When connecting with an HDMI/DVI converter cable (adapter) 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 videosignals will not be output.

    When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video signals may not be output properlydue to poor connections with the connected cable, etc.

    By default, the HDMI audio signals are output from the speakers connected to the AVR-1909. To output the sound from the TV, make the settings at menu Manual Setup HDMI Setup HDMI

    Audio Out TV (vpage 26).

    NOTE The audio signals output from the HDMI connector (sampling frequency, bit rate, etc.) may be restricted

    by the connected device. Video signals are not output properly when using devices that are not HDCP-compatible. Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match the monitors resolution. In this

    case, switch the Blu-ray Disc player / DVD players resolution to a resolution with which the monitor iscompatible.

    If the menu Manual Setup HDMI Setup HDMI Audio Out setting (vpage 26) is set toAMP, the sound may be interrupted when the monitors power is turned off.

    Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI product) for connection to the HDMIconnector. 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 Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player does not support Deep Color, deep color signal transferis not possible.

    If the monitor or Blu-ray Disc player / DVD player does not support xvYCC, xvYCC signal transfer is notpossible.

    If the monitor does not support Auto Lipsync Correction function, this function will not work. The AVR-1909 is compatible with the HDMIs CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) function. Please note

    the following. It may not work depending on the device it is connected to and its setup. It does not operate with televisions or players that are not compatible with HDMIs CEC.

    Symbols used to indicate buttons in this manual Preparations Audyssey MultEQautomatically measures the acoustical problems

    in the listening environment to create the best audio experience foryour home theater.

    Audyssey MultEQ optimizes a large listening area where one ormore listeners are seated.

    Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone(DM-A409) successively at multiple positions throughout the

    listening area as shown in Exampleq. For best results, it is stronglyrecommended to measure 6 positions so that the measurementshave the proper spatial weighting.

    Even if the listening environment is small as shown inExamplew,measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environmentresults in more effective correction.

    To make manual adjustments to the settings, see pages 24 ~ 26.

    About the main listening position (*M)

    The main listening position refers to the most central position whereone would normally sit within the listening environment.MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculatespeaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover valuefor the subwoofer.

    2Place the microphone at ear height on a tripod or stand

    with the microphone pointing directly up towards the

    ceiling.

    bDo not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements.Be sure that the path from microphone to the speakers is notblocked by objects. Avoid placing the microphone close to a seatback or wall as sound reflections may give inaccurate results.

    About the Auto Setup

    The Audyssey MultEQ auto setup function detects the presence ofeach speaker and automatically calculates the speaker size, channellevel, distance, and optimal crossover frequency setting. AudysseyMultEQ corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.Before starting, connect and position all of your speakers.Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through eachspeaker.

    NOTE Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey MultEQ automatic

    speaker setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is backgroundnoise 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. Thiswill 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, fluorescent lights, homeappliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements maybe affected by these sounds.Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics duringthe measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not inuse).

    Operating MASTER VOLUMEduring the measurements will cancelthe measurements.

    Auto SetupOptimize settings for speakers in use.

    Step 1 : Speaker Detection

    If the result differs from the actual connection status or an errormessage appears, use ito on-screen display Retry 0 and thenpress oto repeat the measurement.

    If the result still differs from the actual connection status afterre-measurement or the error message still appears, it is possiblethat the speakers are not connected properly. Turn the AVR-1909off, check the speaker connections and repeat the measurementprocess from the beginning.

    Set the crossover frequency separately for the different speakers.

    If in the Advanced settings, Subwoofer Setup (vpage 25)in the menu is set to LFE, it is possible to make this settingfor speakers set to Small at Speaker Configuration. If set toLFE+Main, this setting can be made regardless of the speakersize.

    For speakers set to Small, sound below the crossover frequencyis cut from the sound output. The cut bass sound is output from the

    subwoofer or front speakers. Always set the crossover frequency to 80 Hz. When using smallspeakers, however, we recommend setting the crossover frequencyto a higher frequency.
