· The video conversion function supports the NTSC, PAL, SECAM, NTSC 4.43, PAL-N, PAL-M and PAL-60 formats.
· The resolution of the video signal input to the AVR-790's HDMI terminal is the resolution set at "Resolution" (vpage 34). (1080p HDMI signals and 1080p component signals are output at 1080p, regardless of the setting.)
· Resolutions of HDMI-compatible TVs can be checked at "HDMI Monitor Information" (vpage 48).
NOTE
· The S-Video input terminal is exclusively for use with a Control Dock for iPod. It can be used when the Control Dock for iPod is connected to the terminal assigned to the iPod input source.
· HDMI signals cannot be converted into analog signals. · When a non-standard video signal from a game machine or some other source is input, the video
conversion function might not operate.

How the on-screen display is displayed depending on the video input signal
The way the on-screen display of the menus, status, etc., is displayed differs according to the type of video signal input to the AVR-790.

When video signals are input from the HDMI or component video terminals
· Menu: Switches to a screen with a black background and the menu is superimposed. (b1) · Status display: Not displayed. b1: If you want to display the menus superimposed on the picture being played, input the same video
signals to the S-Video or video terminals. When a menu is displayed, the picture switches to the one being input from the S-Video or video terminals and the menu is displayed superimposed over this picture.
NOTE Menus and status display screens are not displayed for component video terminal pictures. To display them, also connect the video terminals.

When video signals are being input from the S-Video or video terminals
· Menu: Menus are displayed superimposed over the picture being played. · Status display: Displayed.

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 If the power supply is turned off, after the power supply cord is withdrawn, please confirm that speaker cable and input cable are connected.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 /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-790 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 activated, due to thinking that the AVR-790 has failed, please contact DENON Service center after switching off.

Important Information

Audyssey MultEQ® automatically measures the acoustical problems in the listening environment to create the best audio experience for your home theater. · When the Audyssey Auto Setup procedure is performed, the
MultEQ, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume functions (vpage 46) are enabled. · Use the included setup microphone (DM-A409) to perform the Audyssey Auto Setup procedure. · Measurements are performed by placing the calibrated microphone successively at multiple positions throughout the listening area as shown in GExample qH. 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 GExample wH, measuring at multiple points throughout the listening environment results in more effective correction.

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.
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, fluorescent 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).

Other Information

Surround
The AVR-790 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

DTS Surround

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.
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is an improved Dolby Digital signal format that is compatible with up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound and also improves sound quality thanks to extra data bit rate performance. It is upwardly compatible with conventional Dolby Digital, so it offers greater flexibility in response to the source signal and the conditions of the playback equipment.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology developed by Dolby Laboratories, using lossless coding technology to faithfully reproduce the sound of the studio master. This format is compatible with a maximum sampling frequency of 96 kHz and up to 7.1-channels, so it is used for applications particularly prioritizing sound quality.
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.
Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital EX is a 6.1-channel surround format proposed by Dolby Laboratories that allows users to enjoy in their homes the "DOLBY DIGITAL SURROUND EX" audio format jointly developed by Dolby Laboratories and Lucas Films. The 6.1 channels of sound, including surround back channels, provide improved sound positioning and expression of space.
Dolby Pro Logic gz
Dolby Pro Logic gz introduces a new dimension to Home Entertainment through the addition of a pair of front height channels. Compatible with stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 content, Dolby Pro Logic gz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth and dimension to movies, concert video and videogame playback while maintaining the full integrity of the source mix.
Dolby Pro Logic gz identifies and decodes spatial cues that occur naturally in all content, directing this information to the front height channels, complementing the performance of left and right surround sound speakers. Content that is encoded with Dolby Pro Logic gz height channel information can be even more revealing, with perceptually discrete height channel information bringing an exciting new dimension to home entertainment.Dolby Pro Logic gz, with front height channels is also an ideal alternative for households that cannot support the placement of back surround speakers of a typical 7.1 channel system but may have bookshelf space available to support the addition of height speakers.
Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. "Dolby", "Pro Logic" and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround is the standard digital surround format of DTS, Inc., compatible with a sampling frequency of 44.1 or 48 kHz and up to 5.1-channels of digital discrete surround sound.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is an improved version of the conventional DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 signals formats, compatible with sampling frequencies of 96 or 48 kHz and up to 7.1-channels of discrete digital sound. High data bit rate performance provides high quality sound. This format is fully compatible with conventional products, including conventional DTS digital surround 5.1-channel data.
DTS-HD Master Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio is DTS, Inc's lossless audio format compatible with up to 96 kHz/7.1-channels. The lossless audio coding technology faithfully reproduces the sound of the studio master. It is fully compatible with conventional products, including conventional DTS digital surround 5.1-channel data.
DTS-ESTM Discrete 6.1
DTS-ESTM Discrete 6.1 is a 6.1-channel discrete digital audio format adding a surround back (SB) channel to the DTS digital surround sound. Decoding of conventional 5.1-channel audio signals is also possible according to the decoder.
DTS-ESTM Matrix 6.1
DTS-ESTM Matrix 6.1 is a 6.1-channel discrete digital audio format inserting a surround back (SB) channel to the DTS digital surround sound through matrix encoding. Decoding of conventional 5.1-channel audio signals is also possible according to the decoder.
DTS NEO:6TM Surround
DTS NEO:6TM is a matrix decoding technology for achieving 6.1channel surround playback with 2-channel sources. It includes "DTS NEO:6 Cinema" suited for playing movies and "DTS NEO:6 Music" uited for playing music.
