Denon AVR-5800 operating instructions Speaker system layout, Surround speaker selector function

NOTES:

•The on-screen display signals are not output from the MONITOR OUT-2 output jack or the color difference (component) video signal (MONITOR OUT) jacks.

•The on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack during playback of a video component. For example, if the TV monitor is connected to both the AVR-5800’s S-Video and video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-5800 from a video source (VDP, etc.) connected to both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-Video monitor output. If you wish to output the signals to the video monitor output jack, do not connect a cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 30.)

•The AVR-5800’s on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may be difficult to read small characters on TVs with small screens or low resolutions.

•The setup menu is not displayed when headphones are being used.

•Speaker system layout

Basic system layout (For a THX Surround EX system)

• The following is an example of the basic layout for a system consisting of eight speaker systems and a television monitor:

Subwoofer

Center speaker system

Surround back speaker systems

	Front speaker systems
	Set these at the sides of the TV or screen with
	their front surfaces as flush with the front of the	Surround speaker systems
	screen as possible.	Surround speaker systems
	screen as possible.

With the AVR-5800 it is also possible to use the surround speaker selector function to choose the best layout for a variety of sources and surround modes.

•Surround speaker selector function

This function makes it possible to achieve the optimum sound fields for different sources by switching between two systems of surround speakers (A and B). The settings of the different speakers (A only, B only or A+B) are stored in the memory for the different surround modes, so they are set automatically when the surround mode is selected.

A			A
B	A	A	B
	A	A

Using A only

(Multi surround speaker system)

A			A
B	A	A	B
	A	A

Using B only

(Single surround speaker system)

•It is also possible to select surround speakers A+B, but we recommend using the more effective multi surround speaker system with the surround back speakers.
