Note on speaker impedance  
Connection terminal for  
subwoofer with built-in  
amplifier.  
When using speakers with an impedance  
below the designated value (for example 4  
/ohms), playing for long periods of time with  
the volume high could cause the temperature  
to rise, activating the protection circuit.

C
C
When the protection circuit is activated, the  
output to the speakers is cut off and the power  
indicator blinks. If this happens, unplug the  
power cord, wait for the set to cool off and  
improve ventilation around the unit. Also check  
the wiring of the input cables and the speaker  
cables. After doing this, plug the power cord  
back in and turn the unit’s power back on.  
Connecting the speaker cables  
1. Loosen by turning  
counterclockwise.  
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.  
2. Insert the cable.  
Either tightly twist or terminate the  
core wires.
