triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure
that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of important operating
and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

6. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommended by the product
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture – Do not use this product near water – for example,
near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement;
or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories – Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child
or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with
the product. Any mounting of the product should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
9. A product and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation
and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
11. Power Sources – This product should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type
of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12. Grounding or Polarization – This product may be equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the product.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size
of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure A.
16. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm,
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
17. Power Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
18. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
19. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the product.
20. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
21. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this
indicates a need for service.
22. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer
or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
23. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product,
ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the
product is in proper operating condition.
24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be mounted to a wall or
ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

Inserting the Batteries
NOTE
• Replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not operate
even when the remote control unit is operated close to the unit.
• The supplied batteries are only for verifying operation.
• When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper direction,
following the “q” and “w” 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 attempt to charge dry batteries.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries in
flames.
• If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the inside
of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote control unit if it will not be in
use for long periods.
• When replacing the batteries, have the new batteries ready and
insert them as quickly as possible.
Operating Range of the Remote Control
Unit
Point the remote control unit at the remote sensor when operating it.
NOTE
The set may function improperly or the remote control unit may not
operate if the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight,
strong artificial light from an inverter type fluorescent lamp or infrared
light.
About the Remote Control Unit
• Before turning the power switch on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
no problems with the connection cables.
•
Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is
set to the standby mode. When traveling or leaving home for long
periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
• About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate
properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power
turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature
before using the unit.
• Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move
the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.
• Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units before
moving the unit.
•
Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from the
actual unit for explanation purposes.
Note:
For proper heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a confined
space, such as a bookcase or similar enclosure.

b About Dynamic Volume
Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ solves the problem
of large variations in volume level between
television programs, commercials, and between
the soft and loud passages of movies.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ is integrated into
Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume
is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass
response, tonal balance, surround impression,
and dialog clarity remain the same.
b About Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of
deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased
by taking into account human perception and
room acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in
tandem with Audyssey MultEQ
®
to provide well-
balanced sound for every listener at any volume
level.

NOTE
For surround back speakers :
• By default, the AVR-1609’s “Amp Assign” setting is set to “ZONE2”. To use as the surround back
speaker for the main zone, change the “Amp Assign” setting (vpage 27).
• When using just one surround back speaker, connect it to the left channel (SBL).
For ZONE2 speakers :
• For multi-zone connection and operation, see “Amp Assign / Multi-zone Connections and Operations”
(vpage 49).
b L : Left

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-1609, and be sure to
interconnect the channels and polarities correctly.
1
Peel off about 0.03 ft/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.
When using a banana plug
Tighten the speaker terminal firmly before
inserting the banana plug.
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 supply is turned
off, after the power supply 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-1609 has cooled down,
and the surrounding ventilation is good.
Even if there are no problems with the surround-
ing ventilation and connections, in the event of
the protection circuit becoming activated, due to
thinking that the AVR-1609 has failed, please con-
tact DENON Service center after switching off.

b The AVR-1609 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-1609 is compatible with 30- and 36-bit Deep Color.
b The AVR-1609 can be connected to a device equipped with an HDMI output connector using an HDMI
cable.
b The AVR-1609 is compatible with HDMI Ver. 1.3a Deep Color and xvYCC.
• The audio and video signals input to the AVR-1609’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-1609’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-1609 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.

• Audyssey MultEQ automatically measures the acoustical problems
in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for
your home theater.
• Audyssey MultEQ optimizes a large listening area where one or
more listeners are seated.
Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone
(DM-A409) successively at multiple positions throughout the
listening area as shown in Example q. For best results, it is strongly
recommended to measure 6 positions so that the measurements
have the proper spatial weighting.
Even if the listening environment is small as shown in Example w,
measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment

About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the most central position where
one would normally sit within the listening environment.
MultEQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate
speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value
for the subwoofer.

About the Auto Setup
The Audyssey MultEQ auto setup function detects the presence of
each speaker and automatically calculates the speaker size, channel
level, distance, and optimal crossover frequency setting. Audyssey
MultEQ corrects acoustical distortions within the listening area.
Before starting, connect and position all of your speakers.
Once started, MultEQ will play a series of test tones through each
speaker.
NOTE
Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume after
“Step 1”.
If an error message appears during the measurements, check “Error
Messages”, take the advised action, then start the measurements
again (vpage 20).
The speaker connection and polarity are detected at the fi rst
measurement position (main listening position). The following
attributes are also determined at this time: “Speaker Size”, “Speaker
Distance”, “Channel Level”, “Crossover Frequency”.
q Press o while “Auto Set<Start” is displayed.
• While the measurements are being conducted “Measure:FL
<Ccl” (“FL” indicates the speaker being measured) is displayed.
• When the measurements are completed, the number of detected
speakers is displayed.
Example : For a 7.1 channel speaker confi guration
S p e a k e r : 3 / 4 / . 1
Step 1 : Speaker Detection
• If the result differs from the actual connection status or an error
message appears, use i to display “Retry<” and then press o to
repeat the measurement.
• If the result still differs from the actual connection status after
re-measurement or the error message still appears, it is possible
that the speakers are not connected properly. Turn the AVR-1609
off, check the speaker connections and repeat the measurement
process from the beginning.

Step 2 : Measurement
q Press i to select “2nd Start<”, then press o.
• The measurement of the 2nd position starts.
w Move the microphone to the 3rd position and press o.
• The measurement of the 3rd position starts.
e Perform w repeatedly.
• “Calculate<” is displayed when you have completed
measurements in 6 positions.
• If you want to stop after measuring just fi ve or fewer positions,
use i to display “Calculate<”.
After completing a measurement position, move the microphone to
the next position.
Measure at 6 positions: the main listening position and 5 other
surrounding positions. Although it is allowable to measure less than 6
positions, it is recommended to measure 6 for best results.
NOTE
• Do not disconnect the setup microphone until the auto setup
procedure is completed.
• When using headphones, unplug the headphones before starting
the auto setup procedure.
NOTE
• Loud test sounds may be played during Audyssey MultEQ automatic
speaker setup. This is part of normal operation. If there is background
noise in room, these test signals will increase in volume.
• Do not stand between the speakers and setup microphone or allow
obstacles in the path while the measurements are being made. This
will cause inaccurate readings.
• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise can disrupt
the room measurements. Close windows, silence cell phones,
televisions, radios, air conditioners, fl uorescent lights, home
appliances, light dimmers, or other devices as measurements may
be affected by these sounds.
Cell phones should be placed away from all audio electronics during
the measurement process as Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
may cause measurement disruptions (even if the cell phone is not in
use).
• Operating MASTER VOLUME during the measurements will cancel
the measurements.
• To cancel the measurements, press o while “Measure:FL <Ccl”
is displayed (“Ccl” stands for “Cancel”).
Step 3 : Calculation
The values obtained from the measurements are automatically
analyzed and the attributes for each of the speakers in the listening
area are determined.
q Press o while “Calculate” is displayed.
• “Calculating” is displayed and analysis begins.
• Analysis takes several minutes to complete.
• The time required for this analysis depends on the number of
speakers connected. The greater the number of speakers connected,
the longer analysis will take.
NOTE
Do not change the speaker connections or subwoofer volume,
or speaker locations after making measurements. If changes are
necessary, make the changes and use the Audyssey MultEQ auto
setup once again for an updated EQ solution.

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in

the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass
response, tonal balance, surround impression, and dialog clarity
remain the same.
A9 Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound
quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception
and room acoustics. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with
Audyssey MultEQ to provide well-balanced sound for every listener
at any volume level.
NOTE

About Dynamic Volume
Audyssey Dynamic Volume™ solves the problem of large variations
in volume level between television programs, commercials, and
between the soft and loud passages of movies.
Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and
then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived
by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed.
Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid
or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume
level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is
integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is
adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance,
surround impression, and dialog clarity remain the same whether
watching movies, flipping between television channels, or changing
from stereo to surround sound content.
About Dynamic EQ
Audyssey Dynamic EQ™ solves the problem of deteriorating sound
quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human
perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct
frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment at
any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response,
tonal balance, and surround impression that remain constant
despite changes in volume. Dynamic EQ combines information
from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the
room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey MultEQ to
provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.
NOTE

performed.

About the RESTORER function
• Such compressed audio formats as MP3, WMA (Windows Media
Audio) and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating
signal components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The
RESTORER function generates the signals eliminated upon
compression, restoring the sound to conditions near those of the
original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of
volume of the bass to obtain richer sound with compressed audio
signals.
• This is displayed on the “Surround Parameter” and can be set
when the input source is selected to “SIRIUS” or analog signals
(including FM/AM signals) or PCM signals (fs = 44.1/48 kHz) are
input.
Operating from the main unit or remote control

Surround back speakers
Sound positioning directly to the rear can be achieved easily by adding
a surround back speaker to a 5.1-channel system.
In addition, the acoustic image extending between the sides and the
rear is narrowed, thus greatly improving the expression of the surround
signals for sounds moving from the sides to the back and from the
front to the point directly behind the listening position.

Number of surround back speakers
We recommend using 2 speakers.
When using dipolar speakers in particular, be sure to use 2 speakers.
Placement of the surround left and right channels
when using surround back speakers
We recommend installing the speakers for the surround “L” and “R”
channels a bit forward.

Below we introduce examples of speaker layouts. Refer to these to
arrange your speakers according to their type and how you want to
use them.

About Speaker Installation
w Setting for primarily watching movies using diffusion type
speakers for the surround speakers
For the greatest sense of surround sound envelopment, diffuse
radiation speakers such as bipolar types, or dipolar types, provide
a wider dispersion than is possible to obtain from a direct radiating
speaker (monopolar). Place these speakers at either side of the
prime listening position, mounted above ear level.

Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital signal format developed by Dolby
Laboratories.
A total of 5.1-channels are played: 3 front channels (“FL” , “FR” and
“C”), 2 surround channels (“SL” and “SR”) and the “LFE” channel for
low frequencies.
Because of this, there is no crosstalk between channels and a realistic
sound field with a “three-dimensional” feeling (sense of distance,
movement and positioning) is achieved.
A real, overpowering sense of presence is achieved when playing
movie sources in AV rooms as well.
Surround
Dolby Surround
The AVR-1609 is equipped with a digital signal processing circuit that
lets you play program sources in the surround mode to achieve the
same sense of presence as in a movie theater.
Dolby Pro Logic g
Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology developed by Dolby
Laboratories.
Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into 5-channels to
achieve an excellent surround effect.
The surround channel signals are converted into stereo and full band
signals (with a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater)
to create a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich sense of
presence for all stereo sources.
Dolby Pro Logic gx
Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic
g matrix decoding technology.
Audio signals recorded in 2-channels are decoded to achieve a natural
sound with up to 7.1-channels.
There are 3 modes: “Music” suited for playing music, “Cinema”
suited for playing movies, and “Game” which is optimized for playing
games.
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.
