Cautions on installation

Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this unit or any other electronic equipment using microprocessors is used near a tuner or TV.

If this happens, take the following steps:

•Install this unit as far away as possible from the tuner or TV.

•Run the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit’s power supply cord and input/output connection cables.

•Noise or disturbance tends to occur

particularly when using indoor antennas or 300 Ω /ohm feeder wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75 Ω /ohm coaxial cables.

Before using

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-1706’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 voltage.

Please be sure to turn off the power switch or unplug the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation.

Preparing the remote control unit

The included remote control unit (RC-1000) can be used to operate not only the AVR-1706 but other remote control compatible DENON components as well. 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.
