Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven
surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
7.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting The appliance should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.
8.
Ventilation The appliance should be situated so that its
location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be
situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may
block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may
impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
9.
Heat The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
10.
Power Sources The appliance should be connected to a
power supply only of the type described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the appliance.
11.
Grounding or Polarization Precautions should be taken so
that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is
not defeated.
12.
Power-Cord Protection Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or

appliance.
14.
Cleaning The appliance should be cleaned only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
15.
Power Lines An outdoor antenna should be located away
from power lines.
16.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna 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.
17.
Nonuse Periods The power cord of the appliance should
be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long

18.
Object and Liquid Entry Care should be taken so that
objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the
enclosure through openings.
19.
Damage Requiring Service The appliance should be
serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged;
or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the
appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure
damaged.
20.
Servicing The user should not attempt to service the
appliance beyond that described in the operating
instructions. All other servicing should be referred to
qualified service personnel.

as shown on the diagram.
e Close the lid.
NOTES:
· Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.)
· Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not be used for an extended period of time.
· If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing, etc. Clean the
battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.
· 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 replacing the batteries, after removing them wait for about one minute before inserting the new batteries.
· Inserting the batteries:
1 BEFORE USING
Pay attention to the following before using this unit:
· Moving the set
To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in the connection
cords, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the
connection cords between all other audio components when
moving the set.
· Before turning the power operation switch on
Check once again that all connections are proper and that there are
not problems with the connection cords. Always set the power
operation switch to the standby position before connecting and
disconnecting connection cords.
· Store this instructions in a safe place.
After reading, store this instructions along with the warranty in a
safe place.
· Note that the illustrations in this instructions may differ from
the actual set for explanation purposes.

2 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION
3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this unit or
any other electronic equipment using microprocessors is used near a
tuner or TV.
If this happens, take the following steps:
· Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV.
· Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit's
power cord and input/output connection cords.
· Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor
antennas or 300
/ohms feeder wires. We recommend using
outdoor antennas and 75
/ohms coaxial cables.
For heat dispersal, leave at least 0.3 ft (10 cm) of space between
the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other compo-
nents.
· Switching the input function when input jacks are not
connected
A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched
when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens,
either turn down the VOLUME control or connect components to
the input jacks.
· Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER
terminals
The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals
include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are
greatly reduced for several seconds after the power operation
switch is turned on.
If the volume is turned up during this time, the output will be very
high after the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait until
the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume.
· Whenever the power operation switch is in the STANDBY
state, the apparatus is still connected on some AC line
voltages.
Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for,
say, a vacation.
· Range of operation of the remote control unit
B
0.3 ft (10 cm) or more
0.3 ft (10 cm) or more
Wall
Point the remote control unit at the remote control sensor as shown
on the diagram at the left.
NOTES:
· The remote control unit can be used from a straight distance of
approximately 23 feet/7 meters, but this distance will shorten or
operation will become difficult if there are obstacles between the
remote control unit and the remote control sensor, if the remote
control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or other strong light, or
if operated from an angle.
· Neon signs or other devices emitting pulse-type noise nearby may
result in malfunction, so keep the set as far away from such
devices as possible.

4 FEATURES
1.
Powerful, Versatile Amplifier
High-Quality Power Amplifier:
High-speed, high-power transistors employed in a rational
circuit configuration reflect DENON'S advanced amplifier
technology and ensure a very hefty, clean power output.
2.
Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC)
The circuits handling low-level and high-level signals have been
divided into separate blocks to ensure that influences from these
signals on each other are held to an absolute minimum. This
chassis design in this unit is called the Signal Level Divided
Construction (SLDC). Signals for output are cleaner than before,
allowing them to be reproduced with even greater fidelity and
clarity.
3.
Remote Control Functions
The Remote Control (RC-895) commands not only the receiver
but can also operate the main functions of a DENON CD player
and a cassette deck.
