2 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 as possible from the tuner or TV. Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this units power cord and input/output connection cords. Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor antennas or 300 /ohms feeder wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75 /ohms coaxial cables. For heat dispersal, leave at least 10 cm/4 inch of space between the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other components. Wall 10 cm/4 inch or more

10 cm/4 inch or more

3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
Switching the input function when input jacks are not connected A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components to the input jacks. Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jacks 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 switch is in the OFF or STANDBY state, the apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage. Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation.

4 FEATURES

1. Digital Surround Sound Decoding Featuring 32 bit high speed DSP, operating entirely in digital domain, surround sound from digital sources such as DVD, LD, DTV and satellite are faithfully re-created. 2. Dolby Digital Using advanced digital processing algorithms, Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround sound. Dolby Digital is the default digital audio delivery system for North American DVD and DTV. 3. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround sound, from sources such as laser disc, DVD and specially-encoded music discs. 4. 24 bit D/A Conversion All six channels, including the five main channels and the low frequency effects (LFE) channel benefit from reference, for optimum high fidelity reproduction of music and movie soundtracks. 5. Dual Surround Speaker Mode Provides for the first time the ability to optimize surround sound reproduction using two different types of surround sound speakers as well as two different surround speaker positions: (1) Movie Surround Motion picture soundtracks use the surround channel(s) to provide the ambient elements of the acoustic environment they want the audience to realize. This is best accomplished by the use of specially-designed surround speakers that offer a wide diffusion pattern (bipolar dispersion) or by using surround speakers that provide broad dispersion with a minimum of onaxis localization (dipolar dispersion). Side wall mounting (closer to the ceiling) of the surround speakers provides the greatest envelopment, minimizing localization of direct sound from the speakers. (2) Music Surround With full range discrete surround channels, as well as three discrete full range front channels, digital formats such as Dolby and DTS offer thrilling surround sound music listening. Producers of multi-channel discrete digital music recordings almost always favor the use of direct radiating (monopolar) surround speakers, placed in the rear corners of the room, since that is how they configure their studios during the mixing/creation process. The DENON AVR-3300 provides the ability to connect two different sets of surround speakers, and place them in the appropriate locations in your AV theater room, so that you can enjoy both movie soundtracks and music listening, with optimum results and no compromise. 6. Component Video Switching In addition to composite video and S video switching, the AVR3300 provides 2 sets of component video (Y, R-Y, B-Y) inputs for the DVD and TV/DBS inputs, and one set of component video outputs to the television, for superior picture quality. 7. Video Select Function Allow you to watch one source (visual) while listening to another source (audio). 8. Future Sound Format Upgrade Capability via Eight Channel Inputs & Outputs For future multi-channel audio format(s), the AVR-3300 is provided with 7.1 channel (seven main channels, plus one low frequency effects channel) inputs, along with a full set of 7.1 channel pre-amp outputs, controlled by the 8 channel master volume control. This assures future upgrade possibilities for any future multi-channel sound format.

5 CONNECTIONS

Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections have been completed. Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right). Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections will result in the generation of noise. Use the AC OUTLETS for audio equipment only. Do not use them for hair driers, etc. Note that binding pin plug cords together with AC cords or placing them near a power transformer will result in generating hum or other 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.
Connecting the audio components
When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components. The power to these outlets is turned on and off when the power is switched between on and standby from the remote control unit or power switch.

Speaker system layout Basic system layout The following is an example of the basic layout for a system consisting of six speaker systems and a television monitor:
Subwoofer Center speaker system
Front speaker systems Set these at the sides of the TV or screen with their front surfaces as flush with the front of the screen as possible.

Surround speaker systems

With the AVR-3300 it is also possible to use the surround speaker selector function to choose the best layout for a variety of sources and surround modes.
Surround speaker selector function This function uses either or both of two systems of surround speakers (A and B) to achieve the optimum sound field for different sources. The speaker settings (on or off for A only, B only or A+B) are stored in the memory for the different surround modes and are recalled automatically when that surround mode is set.

Using A only

Using B only
Using both A and B (A+B) Multi surround speaker mode
Before setting up the system
Check that all the connections are correct, then turn on the main units power.
Display the System Setup Menu.
Setting the type of speakers
The composition of the signals output from the different channels and the frequency response are adjusted automatically according to the combination of speakers actually being used.
At the System Setup Menu select Speaker Configuration.
Switch to the speaker configuration screen.

Enter the setting. a) If no surround speakers are used (if None is set for both A and B): The System Setup Menu reappears. b) If both surround speakers A and B are used (if either Large or Small is set for both A and B): The surround speaker setting screen appears. c) If None is set for surround speakers A: None is automatically set for surround speakers B.
NOTE: Select Large or Small not according to the actual size of the speaker but according to the speakers capacity for playing low frequency (approximately 80 Hz and below) signals. If you do not know, try comparing the sound at both settings (setting the volume to a level low enough so as not to damage the speakers) to determine the proper setting. Parameters Large Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz. Small Select this when using speakers that cannot reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz with sufficient volume. When this setting is selected, low frequencies of below 80 Hz are assigned to the subwoofer. None Select this when no speakers are installed. Yes/No. Select Yes when a subwoofer is installed, No when a subwoofer is not installed. * If the subwoofer has sufficient low frequency playback capacity, good sound can be achieved even when Small is set for the front, center and surround speakers. * For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the SMALL setting for all five main speakers and Subwooofer On with a connected subwoofer will yield the best results.

Selecting the surround speakers for the different surround modes
At this screen preset the surround speakers to be used in the different surround modes.
When either Large or Small has been set for both speakers A and B on the System Setup Menu (when using both A and B surround speakers), the surround speaker setting screen appears. Select the surround speakers to be used in the different surround modes. To select the surround mode To select the surround speaker A: When using surround speakers A B: When using surround speakers B A+B: When using both surround speakers A and B
Enter the setting. The System Setup Menu reappears.
* Speaker type setting when using both surround speakers A and B
If Small is set for either surround speakers A or B, the output is the same as when Small is set for both A and B.

Setting the bass output

At the System Setup Menu select Bass Output.
Switch to the Bass Output screen.
Select the bass signal playback mode.
NOTES: In the Bass Output screen, you have the flexibility to choose how bass information is distributed to your speakers if you have large front left and right speakers and a subwoofer as part of your home theater speaker system. By selecting the Front and Subwoofer option, you will be sending the same bass frequencies to both the front left, front right, AND the subwoofer speakers simultaneously. Depending upon your room size and shape, this can create a more evenly distributed bass around the room or sometimes actually decrease the amount of bass in the room due to low frequency cancellations. If the Subwoofer Only option is selected, bass from the large front left and front right speakers goes ONLY to the front left and front right speakers. Bass going to the subwoofer comes from the LFE signal and any speakers which you have designated as Small. This selection is preferred as it reduces the chances of bass cancellations in the room. Once you have positioned all of your speakers in the room, choose the option which gives you the most solid sounding bass.

Setting the delay time

Input the distances from the listening position to the speakers and set the surround delay time. Preparations: Measure the distances from the listening position to the speakers (L1 to L3 on the diagram at the right). L1: Distance from center speakers to listening position L2: Distance from front speakers to listening position L3: Distance from rear speakers to listening position

NOTES: Recording sources other than digital inputs selected in the REC OUT mode are also output to the multi source audio output jacks. (only when 6CH In & Multi is selected at the system setup menus Ext. In & Multi setting screen) Digital signals are not output from the REC SOURCE or audio output jacks. Only the currently playing source can be recorded to MD/TAPE.

* Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable.
In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes. NOTE 1: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one channel (left or right), so input signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a Y adaptor cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.
NOTE: Only the DIRECT and 5CH STEREO modes can be used when playing PCM signals with a sampling frequency of 96 kHz (such as from DVDVideo discs that contain 24 bit, 96 kHz audio). If such signals are input during playback in one of the other surround modes, the mode automatically switches to DIRECT.
