Speaker connections

Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like polarities are matched (< with <, > with >). NOTE: When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors of the speaker cable come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other speaker cable conductors, or with the rear panel and screws. NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shocks.

Analog connections (Stereo)

(White) (Red)

Note on speaker impedance
When using speakers with an impedance below the designated value (for example 4 /ohms), playing for long periods of time with the volume high could cause the temperature to rise, activating the protection circuit. When the protection circuit is activated, the output to the speakers is cut off and the power indicator blinks. If this happens, unplug the power cord, wait for the set to cool off and improve ventilation around the unit. Also check the wiring of the input cables and the speaker cables. After doing this, plug the power cord back in and turn the units 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.

Connecting the XM terminal
DRA-397 is the XM Ready receiver. You can receive XM Satellite Radio by connecting to the XM Mini-Tuner and Home Dock (includes home antenna, sold separately) and subscribing to the XM service. Plug the XM Mini-Tuner Home Dock into XM terminal on the rear panel. Position the Home Dock antenna near a south-facing window to receive the best signal. For details, see XM Satellite Radio ( page 14). When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the XM Mini-Tuner and Home Dock.

Connecting the

When using an iPod, you must connect the Control Dock for iPod (ASD-1R, sold separately) and the DOCK CONTROL jack on the DRA-397 with a mini-jack and assign the iPod to any AUDIO terminal(s). The diagram below shows an example of connections for when the iPod is assigned to the CD-R/TAPE terminals. For instructions on assigning the iPod to a specific terminal, see Setting the iPod Assignment ( page 15). For instructions on playing the iPod, see Playing the iPod ( page 15).
