Speaker impedance
Note on speaker impedance
When using speakers with an impedance below the designated value (for example 4 /ohms), playing for long periods of time with the volume high could cause the temperature to rise, activating the protection circuit. When the protection circuit is activated, the output to the speakers is cut off and the power indicator blinks. If this happens, unplug the power cord, wait for the set to cool off and improve ventilation around the unit. Also check the wiring of the input cables and the speaker cables. After doing this, plug the power cord back in and turn the units power back on. If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the unit, switch off the power and contact a DENON service center.
NOTE:
When making connections, take care that
none of the individual conductors of the
speaker cable come in contact with adjacent
terminals, with other speaker cable
conductors, or with the rear panel and
screws.
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when
the power is on. Doing so could result in
electric shocks.
1. Loosen by turning counterclockwise.
Either tightly twist or terminate the core wires.

Using the DENON original surround modes
The AVR-1507 is equipped with a high performance digital signal processor (DSP) that uses digital signal processing to recreate sound fields artificially. One of seven surround modes can be selected according to the program source and parameters can be further adjusted to achieve even more realistic sound fields.
Types of surround modes and their features
This mode recreates the atmosphere of a live concert in an arena.
This mode recreates the atmosphere of a live concert in a club with low ceilings, hard walls and the artist just in front of you.
This mode provides a rich sense of presence for video games.
This mode recreates the atmosphere of an expansive sound field for movie sources recorded in monaural.
This mode recreates music sources recorded in stereo with an enhanced sense of expansion.
This mode can be used to enjoy surround sound with only front speakers or when using headphones.
NOTE 1: 5CH STEREO is displayed when SB CH OUT is set to OFF. NOTE 2: When playing sources recorded in monaural, the sound will be one-sided if signals are only input to one channel (left or right), so input
signals to both channels. If you have a source component with only one audio output (monophonic camcorder, etc.) obtain a Y adapter cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.
Depending on the program source being played, the effect may not be very noticeable. In this case, try other surround modes, without worrying about their names, to create a sound field suited to your tastes.
This mode lets you enjoy stereo sound with 7 speakers. The front L (R) channel signals are played from the surround and surround back L (R) channels and only the in-phase component of the L and R channels is played on the center channel.

About the speakers
Surround back speakers
Sound position 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.

In addition to sources recorded in 6.1-channels, the surround effect of conventional 2- to 5.1-channel sources can also be enhanced.
Number of surround back speakers We recommend using two speakers. When using dipolar speakers in particular, be sure to use two 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.

Sources recorded in Dolby Surround Sources recorded in Dolby Surround are indicated with the following logo marks. Dolby Surround support mark:
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. Dolby, Pro Logic and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
The AVR-1507 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 Surround
[1] Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is the multi-channel 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.
[2] Dolby Pro Logic II Dolby Pro Logic II 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.
[3] Dolby Pro Logic IIx Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a further improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic II 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 optimum for playing games.

DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround is a digital surround format developed by Digital Theater Systems of the United States. The number of playback channels and the playing band is the same as for Dolby Digital (5.1-channels). The compression rate of the audio data when it was recorded on the medium is lower than for Dolby Digital, so there is more information when the data is decoded, resulting in richer, clearer sound quality.
DTS-ES
DTS-ES is a new surround format developed by Digital Theater Systems. A sound image and sense of positioning can be achieved by adding a surround back (SB) channel to the conventional 5.1-channels.
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1:
This is the latest format, in which all 6.1-channels, including the SB channel, are recorded independently. Since the different channels are independent, the sound can be designed with total freedom.
DTS-ES Matrix 6.1:
With this format, the SB channel is matrix-encoded and inserted into the SL and SR channels, then decoded for the SL, SR and SB channels upon playback. This achieves a surround sound more faithful to the artists sound design intentions than with conventional 5.1- or 6.1-channel systems.
DTS NEO:6 surround
This is a matrix decoding technology for 6.1-channel surround playback of 2-channel sources. The optimum decoding for the type of signal source to be played can be selected. There are 2 modes.
DTS NEO:6 CINEMA:
This mode is suited for playing movies. It achieves the same type of sound as in a movie theater, even with 2 channels.
DTS NEO:6 MUSIC:
This mode is suited for playing music. A natural sense of expansion is added to the sound field.
Neural Surround
Neural Surround, a breakthrough in audio technology, will bring the excitement of surround music to more of Americas listening audience. It provides the rich envelopment and discrete image detail of surround sound in a format 100 % compatible with stereo. With superior spectral resolution and channel separation, Neural Surround draws the brains attention to sonic details in musical instruments, vocals, and ambience that are typically masked by other playback systems. This allows the listener to fully experience the richness and subtleties in recorded performance as never before. As the chosen format for XM Satellite Radios new XM HD surround programming, Neural Surround will help deliver more surround music to more listeners than any other broadcast format. XM Satellite Radio will be the first radio company -to broadcast surround sound on the radio 24 hours a day and will offer three channels fully dedicated to Neural Surround music. This alone will amount to more than 25,000 hours of Neural Surround music each year.

DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems. The sampling frequency is raised to achieve 5.1-channel playback with high quality sound (sampling frequency: 96 kHz, quantization: 24 bits).
