Easy Setup and Operation

With the S-301 it is possible to enjoy a home theater easily, simply by using the included cables to connect a subwoofer, speakers and your TV. “Easy setup and operation” offers an easy guide for the series of procedures from making connections to playing a DVD.

Connecting the system

Connect the speaker system for the left channel (the left side as seen from the front) to the L terminals, the speaker system for the right channel to the R terminals. Be sure to use speaker systems with an impedance of 4 Ω /ohms.

NOTE:

•Do not plug the power supply cord into the power outlet until all connections are completed. Be sure to interconnect the channels (L to L (white) and R to R (red)) properly, as shown on the diagram.

Protector circuit

This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit. The purpose of this circuit is to protect the speakers under circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently short- circuited and a large current flows, when the temperature surrounding the unit becomes unusually high, or when the unit is used at high output over a long period which results in an extreme temperature rise.

When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off and the power supply indicator flashes. Should this occur, please follow these steps: be sure to switch off the power of this unit, check whether there are any faults with the wiring of the speaker cables or input cables, and wait for the unit to cool down if it is very hot. Improve the ventilation condition around the unit and switch the power back on.

If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the unit, switch off the power and contact a DENON service center.

Note on speaker impedance

The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance (for example speakers with an impedance of lower than 4 Ω /ohms) are connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn off the set’s power, wait for the set to cool down, improve the ventilation around the set, then turn the power back on.

Cautions on connecting

With this unit’s speaker outputs, signals with the reverse phase of the “+” side output terminal’s signals are also output from the “–” side output terminal.

Do not connect to a device for switching between multiple speakers (a speaker selector or audio channel selector) or connect in ways other than described in this manual. Doing so will result in damage.

Speaker system connections

Be sure to turn the amplifier’s power off when connecting the speaker systems.

Use the included speaker cables to connect the input terminals on the back of the speaker systems to the amplifier’s speaker output terminals. Connect the speaker system for the left channel to the amplifier’s “L” terminals, the one for the right channel to the amplifier’s “R” terminals.

MEMO

•Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections may result in noise.

•Noise or humming may be generated if a connected audio equipment is used independently without turning the power of this unit on. If this happens, turn on the power of the this unit.

•This system includes digital circuitry which may cause interference such as color blotching or changes in the color on TVs. If this happens, move the system and the TV as far apart as possible.

•Whenever the power operation switch is in the STANDBY position, the unit is still connected to AC line voltage.

•Please be sure to unplug the power supply cord when you leave home for, e.g.,a vacation, etc.

•After unplugging the power supply cord, wait about 5 seconds before plugging it back in.

•Note that setting the connection cords (pin- plug cords etc.) next to the power supply cords may result in humming or other noise.
