REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
• The included remote control unit (RC-973) can be used to operate not only this unit 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.(1) Inserting the batteriesqRemove the remote control unit’s rear cover.
wSet three R6P/AA batteries in the battery compartment in the indicated direction.
ePut the re
ar cover back on.
Notes on Batteries• Use R6P/AA batteries in the remote control unit.
• The batteries should be replaced with new ones approximately once a year, though this depends on the
frequency of usage.
• Even if less than a year has passed, 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. Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.)
• When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper direction, following the 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 control unit when you do not plan to use it for an extended period
of time.
• 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.(2) Using the remote control unit

Enter the setting.
• The SYSTEM SETUP MENU
reappears.
NOTE:
• Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the
actual size of the speaker but according to the
speaker’s capacity for playing low frequency
(approximately 100 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 100
Hz. 
SMALL… Select this when using speakers that do
not provide sufficient volume for playing
low frequencies of 100 Hz and less.
When this setting is made, frequencies
below the frequency set at the
subwoofer frequency setting 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 Subwoofer On with a
connected subwoofer will yield the best results.
Subwoofer frequency (SW FREQ.)
• For the subwoofer frequency at the speaker
setting screen, set the bass crossover frequency
for playback from the subwoofer.
• Select “80 Hz”, “100 Hz” “120 Hz” or “150 Hz”
(–6 dB for each). Bass sound below these
frequencies is played from the subwoofer.
(This is set to “150 Hz” by factory default.)Assignment of low frequencies
• In the Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, DTS, and
virtual surround modes, the low frequency
signals for channels whose speaker settings are
set to “Small” are assigned to the subwoofer.
The low frequencies of channels set to “Large”
are played from those channels.
(If set to “120 Hz”, channels set to “Small” play
sounds of 120 Hz and greater, while bass
frequencies of under 120 Hz are played from the
subwoofer.)
• In surround modes other than the ones listed
above, low frequencies below the frequency set
at the subwoofer frequency setting are played
from the subwoofer regardless of whether the
speakers are set to “Large” or “Small”.
• Set the subwoofer frequency according to the
low frequency playback abilities of your speakers
and subwoofer.Subwoofer mode (SW MODE)
• The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when
“LARGE” is set for the front speakers and
“YES” is set for the subwoofer in the “SPEAKER
CONFIGURATION” settings.
• When the “LFE+MAIN” playback mode is
selected, the low frequency signal range of
channels set to “LARGE” are produced
simultaneously from those channels and the
subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range
expand more uniformly through the room, but
depending on the size and shape of the room,
interference may result in a decrease of the
actual volume of the low frequency range.
• Selection of the “LFE ” play mode will play the
low frequency signal range of the channel
selected with “LARGE” from that channel only.
Therefore, the low frequency signal range that
are played from the subwoofer channel are only
the low frequency signal range of LFE (only
during Dolby Digital or DTS signal playback) and
the channel specified as “SMALL” in the setup
menu.
• Select the play mode that provides bass
reproduction with body.
• When the subwoofer is set to “YES”, bass
sound is output from the subwoofer regardless
of the subwoofer mode setting in surround
modes other than Dolby/DTS.
