Getting Started

Note

Wall

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:•Moving the unit

To prevent short-circuits or damaged wires in the connection cables, always unplug the power supply cord and disconnect the connection cables between all other audio components when moving the unit.

•Before turning the power switch on Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are not problems with the connection cables. Always set the power switch to the standby position before connecting and disconnecting connection cables.

•Store these instructions in a safe place. After reading, store this instructions along with the warranty card in a safe place.

•Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the actual unit for explanation purposes.

•V. AUX terminals

The AVR-1306’s front panel is equipped with V. AUX terminals. Remove the cap covering the terminals when you want to use them.

Note:

For heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a confined space such as a bookcase or similar enclosure.

Cautions on handling
• Switching the input source when input terminals are not connected.

A clicking noise may be produced if the input source is switched when nothing is connected to

the input terminals. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control knob or

connect components to the input terminals.
• Muting of PRE OUT terminals, PHONES jack and SPEAKER terminals.

The PRE OUT terminals, PHONES jack and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because

of this, the output signals are greatly attenuated for several seconds after the power switch is

turned on or the input source, 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.

• Whenever the power switch is in the STANDBY state, the unit is still connected to AC line

In addition, the memory contains control signals for other remote control units, so it can be used to operate non-DENON remote control compatible products.
