Denon AVR-1610 Connecting Devices

Connecting the Speaker Cables

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and – (black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the AVR-1610, and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.

1 Peel 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 cable’s core wire to the hilt into the speaker terminal.

4Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tightenit.

n When using a banana plug

Tighten the speaker terminal firmly before inserting the banana plug.

Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. When using front A and B speakers simultaneously, use speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 Ω/ohms.

NOTE

•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 each other (v “Protection circuit”).

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

Connecting the Speakers

Protection circuit

If the core wires touch the rear panel and the screws etc., or the ± sides touch each other, the protection 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 the standby state. If the power supply is turned off, after the power supply cord is withdrawn, please confirm that speaker cable and input cable are connected.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 Ω/ohms), the temperature will rise, and the protection circuit might be activated. The power supply will 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-1610 has cooled down, and the surrounding ventilation is good. Even if there are no problems with the surrounding ventilation and connections, in the event of the protection circuit becoming activated,

due to thinking that the AVR-1610 has failed, please contact DENON Service center after switching off.

	n Copyright protection system (HDCP)

	The AVR-1610 supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents
	Protection). HDCP is a copyright protection technology for digital video
	signals. The devices connected to the AVR-1610 must also support
	HDCP.
	NOTE
	When a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video
	signals are not properly output.
