Connecting the Speaker Cables
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + (red) and –
(black) polarities on the speakers being connected to the AVR-1509,
and be sure to interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
1
Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from the
tip of the speaker cable, then either twist the
core wire tightly or terminate it.
2
Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise
to loosen it.
3
Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the
hilt into the speaker terminal.
4
Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to
tighten it.
NOTE
• Use speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms. When using
front A and B speakers simultaneously, use speakers with an
impedance of 12 to 16 Ω/ohms.
• Connect the speaker cables in such a way that they do not stick out
of the speaker terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if
the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and – sides touch each
other (
v
“Protection circuit”).
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power supply is
connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.
Protection circuit
If the core wires touch the rear panel and the screws etc., or the ±
sides touch each other, the protection circuit will be activated and
the power indicator will flash red at intervals of 0.5 secs.
If the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is isolated,
and the power supply goes to the standby state. If the power sup-
ply is turned off, after the power cord is withdrawn, please confirm
that speaker cable and input cable are connected.
Also, if replaying large sound levels by using a speaker having an
impedance less than that specified (eg, 4 Ω/ohms), the temperature
will rise, and the protection circuit might be activated. The power
supply will go into the standby state, and the power indicator will
flash red at 2 second intervals.
In this case, please switch off the power supply, and wait until the
AVR-1509 has cooled down, and the surrounding ventilation is good.
Even if there are no problems with the surrounding ventilation and
connections, in the event of the protection circuit becoming acti-
vated, due to thinking that the AVR-1509 has failed, please contact
DENON Service center after switching off.

b
The AVR-1509 is equipped for HDMI version 1.3a. This version
is compatible with other versions, allowing connection to all
components equipped with an HDMI connector.
b
The AVR-1509 is compatible with 30- and 36-bit Deep Color.
b
The AVR-1509 can be connected to a device equipped with an
HDMI output connector using an HDMI cable.
b
The AVR-1509 is compatible with HDMI Ver. 1.3a Deep Color and
xvYCC.
• The audio and video signals input to the AVR-1509’s HDMI input
connector are output unchanged from the HDMI output connector.
Because of this, the sound is output from the monitor connected
using the HDMI connectors, but in order to take full advantage of the
AVR-1509’s playback sound, turn the TV’s volume down.
• If the connected monitor or DVD player only has a DVI-D connector,
use an HDMI/DVI converter cable.
When using a DVI cable, no
audio signals are transmitted.
• Use a Deep Color compatible cable for connection to Deep Color
compatible devices.
When connecting with an HDMI/DVI converter cable
(adapter)
• HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI
format.
When connecting to a monitor, etc., equipped with a DVI-D
connector, connection is possible using an HDMI/DVI converter
cable, but depending on the combination of components in some
cases the video signals will not be output.
• When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video
signals may not be output properly due to poor connections with
the connected cable, etc.
NOTE
• The AVR-1509 cannot be controlled from another device via the
HDMI cable.
• Video signals are not output if the input video signals do not match
the monitor’s resolution. In this case, switch the DVD player’s
resolution to a resolution with which the monitor is compatible.
• Use a cable on which the HDMI logo is indicated (a certified HDMI
product) for connection to the HDMI connector. Normal playback
may not be possible when using a cable other than one on which the
HDMI logo is indicated (a non-HDMI-certified product).
• If the monitor or DVD player does not support Deep Color, deep
color signal transfer is not possible.
• If the monitor or DVD player does not support xvYCC, xvYCC signal
transfer is not possible.
When HDMI input signals are sent to the monitor as HDMI output,
both video and audio are output to the monitor.
Connecting Equipment with HDMI Connectors
NOTE
The audio signal input to the HDMI input connector cannot be
played on the AVR-1509.
Input the audio signal to the digital audio
input connector or analog audio input connector.
