Getting Started

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

A clicking noise may be produced if the input function 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 and SPEAKER terminals. The PRE OUT terminals and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced for several seconds after the power switch is turned on or input function, 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 operation button is in the STANDBY state, the apparatus is still connected on 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-1036) can be used to operate not only the AVR-5805CI but other remote control compatible DENON components as well. In addition, the memory contains the control signals for other remote control units, so it can be used to operate non-DENON remote control compatible products.

Inserting the batteries

qRemove the remote control unit’s rear cover.

wSet two LR6/AA batteries in the battery compartment in the indicated direction.

ePut the rear cover back on.

Notes on batteries:

•Replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not operate even when the remote control unit is operated nearby the set. (The included battery is only for verifying operation.)

•When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper direction, following the “<” and “>” marks in the battery compartment.

•To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:

•Do not use a new battery together with an old one.

•Do not use two different types of batteries.

•Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in flames.

•Remove the batteries from the remote if it will not be in use for long periods.

•If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the inside of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.

•When replacing the batteries, have the new batteries ready and insert them as quickly as possible.
