· Connect the speaker cables in a way that they do not stick out of the

speaker terminals. The protection circuit may be activated if the core

could cause electric shock.

When using a banaannaa,plug
Tighten the speaker terminal firmly before inserting the banana plug.

Protector circuit

Ir – .~

,~

The protection circuit will be activated in the following cases: · When the speaker cable’s core wires are touching the rear panel or screws or when the speaker cable’s + and – sides are touching · When the surrounding temperature is extremely high · When the internal temperature rises due to extended use with a high output
If this happens, unplug the power cord, then check the connections of the speaker cables and input cables. If the set’s temperature is extremely high, wait for it to cool off and improve surrounding ventilation. After doing this, plug the power cord back in. If the protection circuit is activated though there are no problems in ventilation around the set or in connections, the set could be damaged. Turn off the power, then contact a DENON servicing and inquiry outlet.
