Denon AVR-1910 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-1910, 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

About bi-amp connections

These connections make for higher quality playback sound with no interference between the signals of the bass and treble units.

When the amplifier assignment mode is set to “Front A Bi-Amp” or “Front B Bi-Amp”, connect as shown below. (The illustration shows a connection example for the front B Bi-Amp speakers.)

(L)(R)

AVR-1910

When in the “Front A Bi-Amp” and “Front B Bi-Amp” modes, the same signals are output from the front speaker terminals and the AMP ASSIGN terminals.

NOTE

•Use speakers compatible with bi-amp connections.

•When making bi-amp connections, be sure to remove the short- circuiting plate or wire between the speaker’s woofer and tweeter terminals.

	n Copyright protection system (HDCP)

	The AVR-1910 supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents
	Protection). HDCP is a copyright protection technology for digital video
	signals. The devices connected to the AVR-1910 must also support
	HDCP.

	NOTE
	When a device that does not support HDCP is connected, video
	signals are not properly output.
