FEATURES
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 MASTER VOLUME control or connect
components to the input jacks.
Muting of PRE OUT jacks and SPEAKER terminals
The PRE OUT jacks and SPEAKER terminals include a muting
circuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced for
several seconds after the power switch is turned on or input
function, surround mode or any other-set-up is changed. 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 AVR-4802 is in the STANDBY state, the
apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage.
Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for,
say, a vacation.
1. Digital Surround Sound Decoding
Featuring dual 32 bit high speed DSP processors, operating
entirely in digital domain, surround sound from digital sources
such as DVD, DTV and satellite are faithfully re-created.
2. Dolby Digital
Using advanced digital processing algorithms, Dolby Digital
provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround
sound. Dolby Digital is the default digital audio delivery system for
North American DVD and DTV, and is available on laser discs as
well as some digital satellite direct-to-home services.
3. DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity
surround sound, from sources such as laser disc, DVD and
specially-encoded music discs.
4. Lucasfilm Home THX Ultra Certified
Home THX is the unique collaboration between Lucasfilm Ltd. and
audio equipment manufacturers. THX Ultra certification is the
highest performance level, and provides a rigorous set of
performance standards, along with proprietary surround sound
post-processing technologies, designed to enhance the surround
soundtrack playback experience in the home theater.
5. THX Surround EX
The AVR-4802 is fully compatible with THX Surround EX, the latest
surround format.
6. DTS-ES Extended Surround and DTS Neo:6
The AVR-4802 is compatible with DTS-ES Extended Surround, a new
multi-channel format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc.
The AVR-4802 is also compatible with DTS Neo:6, a surround mode
allowing 6.1-channel playback of regular stereo sources.
7. DTS 96/24 compatibility
The AVR-4802 is compatible with sources recorded in DTS 96/24, a
new multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater
Systems Inc.
DTS 96/24 sources can be played in the multi-channel mode on the
AVR-4802 with high sound quality of 96 kHz/24 bits or 88.2 kHz/24 bits.
8. Dolby Pro Logic II decoder
Dolby Pro Logic II is a new format for playing multichannel audio
signals that offers improvements over conventional Dolby Pro
Logic. It can be used to decode not only sources recorded in
Dolby Surround but also regular stereo sources into five channels
(front left/right, center and surround left/right). In addition, various
parameters can be set according to the type of source and the
contents, so you can adjust the sound field with greater precision.
9. Wide screen mode for a 7.1-channel sound even with
5.1-channel sources
DENON has developed a wide screen mode with a new design
which recreates the effects of the multi surround speakers in
movie theaters. The result is 7.1-channel sound taking full
advantage of surround back speakers, even with Dolby Pro Logic
or Dolby Digital/DTS 5.1-channel signals.
10.24 bit D/A Conversion
All eight channels, including the seven main channels and the low
frequency effects (LFE) channel benefit from reference ANALOG
DEVICES DACs, for optimum high fidelity reproduction of music
and movie soundtracks.
11.Dual Surround Speaker Mode
Provides for the first time the ability to optimize surround sound
reproduction using two different types of surround sound
speakers as well as two different surround speaker positions:
(1) Movie Surround
Motion picture soundtracks use the surround channel(s) to
provide the ambient elements of the acoustic environment
they want the audience to realize. This is best accomplished by
the use of specially-designed surround speakers that offer a
wide diffusion pattern (bipolar dispersion) or by using surround
speakers that provide broad dispersion with a minimum of on-
axis localization (dipolar dispersion). Side wall mounting (closer
to the ceiling) of the surround speakers provides the greatest
envelopment, minimizing localization of direct sound from the
speakers.
(2) Music Surround
With full range discrete surround channels, as well as three
discrete full range front channels, digital formats such as Dolby
and DTS offer thrilling surround sound music listening.
Producers of multi-channel discrete digital music recordings
almost always favor the use of direct radiating (monopolar)
surround speakers, placed in the rear corners of the room,
since that is how they configure their studios during the
mixing/creation process.
The DENON AVR-4802 provides the ability to connect two
different sets of surround speakers, and place them in the
appropriate locations in your home theater room, so that you
can enjoy both movie soundtracks and music listening, with
optimum results and no compromise.
12.Component Video Switching
In addition to composite video and “S” video switching, the AVR-
4802 provides 3 sets of component video (Y, P
R/CR, PB/CB) inputs
for the DVD, TV and DBS/SAT inputs, and one set of component
video outputs to the television, for superior picture quality.
13.Video Select Function
Allow you to watch one source (visual) while listening to another
source (audio).
14.Seven Identical Power Amplifiers
Featuring discrete high current power transistors, the power amp
section is THX Ultra certified for top performance with the widest
range of speaker systems. Rated at 125 watts into 8 /ohms, the
amp channels feature additional low impedance drive capability.
15.Future Sound Format Upgrade Capability via Eight Channel
Inputs & Outputs
For future multi-channel audio format(s), the AVR-4802 is provided
with 7.1 channel (seven main channels, plus one low frequency
effects channel) inputs, along with a full set of 7.1 channel pre-
amp outputs, controlled by the 8 channel master volume control.
This assures future upgrade possibilities for any future multi-
channel sound format.

Speaker system connections
Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like
polarities are matched ( < with < , > with > ). Mismatching of polarities will
result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments,
and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired.
When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors
of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other
speaker cord conductors, or with the rear panel.
Speaker Impedance
Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 /ohms can be connected for
use as front and center speakers.
Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 /ohms can be connected for use
as surround speakers.
The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of
time at high volumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the
specified impedance are connected.
NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on.
Doing so could result in electric shocks.
Connecting the speaker cords
1. Loosen by turning
counterclockwise.
2. Insert the cord. 3. Tighten by turning
clockwise.
Either tightly twist or terminate the core wires.
Connecting banana plugs
Turn clockwise to tighten, then insert the
banana plug.
Protector circuit
This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit. The purpose of this circuit is to protect the speakers under
circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently short-circuited and a large current flows,
when the temperature surrounding the unit becomes unusually high, or when the unit is used at high output over a long
period which results in an extreme temperature rise.
When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off and the power supply indicator LED flashes. Should
this occur, please follow these steps: be sure to switch off the power of this unit, check whether there are any faults
with the wiring of the speaker cables or input cables, and wait for the unit to cool down if it is very hot. Improve the
ventilation condition around the unit and switch the 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 on speaker impedance
The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with
an impedance lower than the specified impedance (for example speakers with an impedance of lower than 4 /ohms)
are connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn off the sets power, wait for the set
to cool down, improve the ventilation around the set, then turn the power back on.

Presets
Input the combination of speakers in your system and their
corresponding sizes (SMALL for regular speakers, LARGE for full-
size, full-range) to automatically set the composition of the signals
output from the speakers and the frequency response.
Use this function when using multiple surround speaker
combinations for more ideal surround sound. Once the
combinations of surround speakers to be used for the
different surround modes are preset, the surround
speakers are selected automatically according to the
surround mode.
This selects the subwoofer speaker for playing deep bass signals.
Set the method of playing the surround back channel for digital
signals.
This adjusts the volume of the signals output from the speakers and
subwoofer for the different channels in order to obtain optimum
effects.
This parameter is for detecting the maximum level of the low bass
signals output from the subwoofer channel in order to protect the
subwoofer from damage and prevent unpleasant distorted sounds
from being produced.
This assigns the digital input jacks for the different input
sources.
This sets whether or not to display the on-screen display that
appears on the monitor screen when the controls on the remote
control unit or main unit are operated (from MONITOR 1 outputs
only).
FM stations are received automatically and stored in the memory.

NOTES:
The on-screen display signals are not output from the MONITOR OUT-2 output jack or the color difference (component) video signal (MONITOR OUT) jacks.
The on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack during playback of a video component. For example, if the TV
monitor is connected to both the AVR-4802s S-Video and video monitor output jacks and signals are input to the AVR-4802 from a video source (VDP, etc.)
connected to both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-Video monitor output. If you wish to output
the signals to the video monitor output jack, do not connect a cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 31.)
The AVR-4802s on-screen display function is designed for use with high resolution monitor TVs, so it may be difficult to read small characters on TVs with small
screens or low resolutions.
The setup menu is not displayed when headphones are being used.

Parameters
Large ................Select this when using speakers that have sufficient performance for reproducing bass sound below the frequency set for
the Crossover Frequency mode.
Small ................Select this when using speakers that do not have sufficient performance for reproducing bass sound below the frequency
set for the Crossover Frequency mode. When this is set, bass sound with a frequency below the frequency set for the
Crossover Frequency mode is sent to the subwoofer or main speakers selected Large.
None…… .........Select this when no speakers are installed.
Yes/No ..........Select Yes when a subwoofer is installed, No when a subwoofer is not installed.
2spkrs/1spkr.....Select the number of speakers to be used for the surround back channel.
If the subwoofer has sufficient low frequency playback capacity, good sound can be achieved even when Small is set for the front, center
and surround speakers.
To take full advantage of the performance of the Home THX certified speaker systems, set the front, center and surround speaker size
parameters to Small and the subwoofer to Yes.
For the majority of speaker system configurations, using the SMALL setting for all five main speakers and Subwoofer On with a connected
subwoofer will yield the best results.
When Front is set to Small, Subwoofer is automatically set to Yes, and when Subwoofer is set to No, Front is automatically
set to Large.

Crossover frequency
Set the frequency (Hz) below which the bass sound of each main speakers is to output from the subwoofer or from speakers which are set to
Large (when not using a subwoofer) (crossover frequency).
For speakers set to Small, sound with a frequency below the crossover frequency is cut, and instead the cut bass sound is output from the
subwoofer or speakers which are set to Large.
This crossover frequency mode is valid when Subwoofer is set to Yes at Speaker Configuration Setting or when speakers are set to
Small.
FIXED THX:
Set to the THX rated 80 Hz crossover frequency.
VARIABLE 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 Hz:
Set as desired according to your speakers bass playback ability.
NOTES:
The crossover frequency is set to 80 Hz in the HOME THX CINEMA mode.
We recommend using with the crossover frequency set to FIXED THX–”, but depending on the speaker, setting it to a different frequency
may improve frequency response near the crossover frequency.
Setting the Subwoofer mode
1
Select the subwoofer mode.
2
Enter the setting.
The System Setup Menu reappears.
NOTES:
Assignment of low frequency signal range
The only signals produced from the subwoofer channel are LFE signals (during playback of Dolby Digital or DTS signals) and the low
frequency signal range of channels set to Small in the setup menu. The low frequency signal range of channels set to Large are
produced from those channels.
Subwoofer mode
The subwoofer mode setting is only valid when Large is set for the front speakers and Yes is set for the subwoofer in the Speaker
Configuration settings (see page 19).
When the LFE+Main playback mode is selected, the low frequency signal range of channels set to Large are produced simultaneously
from those channels and the subwoofer channel.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range expand more uniformly through the room, but depending on the size and shape of the room,
interference may result in a decrease of the actual volume of the low frequency range.
Selection of the LFE - THX play mode will play the low frequency signal range of the channel selected with Large from that channel
only. Therefore, the low frequency signal range that are played from the subwoofer channel are only the low frequency signal range of LFE
(only during Dolby Digital or DTS signal playback) and the channel specified as Small in the setup menu. THX is recommended in this play
mode so that bass interference is less likely to occur in the room.
Select the play mode that provides bass reproduction with body.

To cancel the settings, select Level Clear and Yes on the Channel Level screen, then make the settings again.
The level of each channel should be adjusted to 75 dB (C-weighted, slow meter mode) on a sound level meter at the listening position.
If a sound level meter is not available adjust the channels by ear so the sound levels are the same. Because adjusting the subwoofer level test
tone by ear is difficult, use a well known music selection and adjust for natural balance.
NOTE: When adjusting the level of an active subwoofer system, you may also need to adjust the subwoofers own volume control.
When you adjust the channel levels while in the SYSTEM SETUP CHANNEL LEVEL mode, the channel level adjustments made will affect
ALL surround modes. Consider this mode a Master Channel Level adjustment mode.
After you have completed the SYSTEM SETUP CHANNEL LEVEL adjustments, you can then activate the individual surround modes and
adjust channel levels that will be remembered for each of those modes. Then, whenever you activate a particular surround sound mode,
your preferred channel level adjustments for just that mode will be recalled. Check the instructions for adjusting channel levels within each
surround mode on Page 42.
You can adjust the channel levels for each of the following surround modes: DIRECT, STEREO, 5CH/7CH STEREO, DOLBY/DTS SURROUND,
HOME THX CINEMA, WIDE SCREEN, SUPER STADIUM, ROCK ARENA, JAZZ CLUB, CLASSIC CONCERT, MONO MOVIE, and MATRIX.
When using either surround speakers A or B, or when using surround speakers A and B at the same time, be sure to adjust the balance of
playback levels between each channel for the various selections of A or B and A and B.

Subwoofer peak limit level setting
This unit features a subwoofer peak limit control which prevents distortion and damage in the loudspeaker system by controlling the maximum
bass volume level. With this feature you may set the maximum bass level for the system.
This feature operates with or without a subwoofer in the system.
1
At the System Setup Menu select Subwoofer Peak Limit Lev..
2
Switch to the Subwoofer Peak Limit Level Setting screen.
3
Select ON for Peak Limiter.
4
The screen switches. Select Setting Start, then
select Ye s.
The screen switches and a test noise is produced
from the speaker system.
5
Increase the master volume level until the test noise is distorted.
The test noise (bass sound) is distorted when it sounds as if the input is
excessively high (when the sound crackles).
6
Press the ENTER button at the point where the test noise starts sounding distorted.
The AVR-4802 automatically sets the subwoofer peak limit level.
This prevents future inadvertent subwoofer overload due to excessively strong bass content when the master
volume control is at a high level.
To cancel the setting, use the cursor buttons on the Subwoofer Peak Limit Level Setting screen after step 2 to select OFF for Peak
Limiter.
29
CAUTION!
The master volume is set to “–30 dB when test tones are output.
The test tones are for confirming the low frequency playback limits and are played at an extremely high level. When using a low output
subwoofer, be very careful about irregular operations exceeding clipping by for example turning down the subwoofers attenuator before
starting then slowly turning the attenuator up to the listening level.
Also, when the subwoofer is set to No in the speaker configuration, the test tones are output from the front speakers. When using front
speakers with low input resistance, check that the sound is not clipped at sections where the signal is strong on the CD music source before
starting the peak limit setting. The peak limit setting should not be performed if the music source cannot be played with the master volume
set at “–15. Set the front speakers to Small and the subwoofer to Yes in the speaker configuration. When this is done, the low
frequencies are cut, so the effect is insufficient. We strongly recommend adding a subwoofer.
If the test tone is clipped when it is set to “–18 dB, set the peak limit to “–18 dB. In this case, the input resistance of the subwoofer or
front speakers is insufficient so clipping may occur when playing music. We recommend switching to a subwoofer with a higher input
resistance.

The included remote control unit (RC-8000) can be used to operate not only the AVR-4802 but other remote control compatible DENON
components as well. Furthermore, it is equipped with a function for learning the control signals of remote control units of other manufacturers,
so it can also be used to operate non-DENON remote control compatible video components.
For details, refer to the separate (supplied) RC-8000 operating instructions.
Using the remote control unit
Point the remote control unit at the remote sensor on the main unit
as shown on the diagram.
The remote control unit can be used from a straight distance of
approximately 22 feet/7 meters from the main unit, but this
distance will be shorter if there are obstacles in the way or if the
remote control unit is not pointed directly at the remote sensor.
The remote control unit can be operated at a horizontal angle of up
to 30 degrees with respect to the remote sensor.
NOTES:
It may be difficult to operate the remote control unit if the remote
sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light.
Do not press buttons on the main unit and remote control unit
simultaneously. Doing so may result in malfunction.
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.

Surround parameters w
CINEMA EQ. (Cinema Equalizer):
The Cinema EQ function gently decreases the level of the extreme high frequencies, compensating for overly-bright sounding motion picture
soundtracks. Select this function if the sound from the front speakers is too bright.
This function only works in the Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital, DTS Surround and Wide Screen modes.
D.COMP. (Dynamic Range Compression):
Motion picture soundtracks have tremendous dynamic range (the contrast between very soft and very loud sounds). For listening late at night,
or whenever the maximum sound level is lower than usual, the Dynamic Range Compression allows you to hear all of the sounds in the
soundtrack (but with reduced dynamic range). (This only works when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital or DTS.) Select one of
the four parameters (OFF, LOW, MID (middle) or HI (high)). Set to OFF for normal listening.
This parameter is displayed only when playing compatible sources in DTS mode.
LFE (Low frequency Effect):
This sets the level of the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) sounds included in the source when playing program sources recorded in Dolby Digital
or DTS.
If the sound produced from the subwoofer sounds distorted due to the LFE signals when playing Dolby Digital or DTS sources when the peak
limiter is turned off with the subwoofer peak limit level setting (system setup menu), adjust the level as necessary.
Program source and adjustment range
1. Dolby Digital:-10 dB to 0 dB
2. DTS Surround:-10 db to 0 dB
When DTS encoded movie software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to 0 dB for correct DTS playback.
When DTS encoded music software is played, it is recommended that the LFE LEVEL be set to -10 dB for correct DTS playback.
TONE:
This adjusts the tone control. (See Surround parameters r on page 55.)
2 Dialogue Normalization
The dialogue normalization function is activated automatically when playing Dolby Digital program sources.
Dialogue normalization is a basic function of Dolby Digital which automatically normalizes the dialog level (standard level) of the signals which are
recorded at different levels for different program sources, such as DVD, DTV and other future formats that will use Dolby Digital.
When this function is activated, the following message appears on the main units display:

Select this to achieve an atmosphere like that of a movie theater with a large screen. In this mode, all signal sources are played
in the 7.1-channel mode, including Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Digital 5.1-channel sources. Effects simulating the multi surround
speakers of movie theaters are added to the surround channels.
The front left channel signals are output to the surround and surround back signal left channels, the front right channel signals are
output to the surround and surround back signal right channels, and the in-phase component of the left and right channels is output
to the center channel. Use this mode to enjoy stereo sound.
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.
NOTE 1: 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 adaptor
cable to split the mono output to two outputs, and connect to the L and R inputs.
Personal Memory Plus
This set is equipped with a personal memorize function that automatically memorizes the surround modes and input modes selected for the
input different sources. When the input source is switched, the modes set for that source last time it was used are automatically recalled.
The surround parameters, tone control settings and playback level balance for the different output channels are memorized for each
surround mode.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Optimum surround sound for different sources
There are currently various types of multi-channel signals (signals or formats with more than two channels).
2 Types of multi-channel signals
Dolby Digital (EX), Dolby Pro Logic, DTS (ES), high definition 3-1 signals (Japan MUSE Hi-Vision audio), DVD-Audio, SACD (Super Audio CD),
MPEG multi-channel audio, etc.
Source here does not refer to the type of signal (format) but the recorded content. Sources can be divided into two major categories.
2 Types of sources
Movie audio Signals created to be played in movie theaters. In general sound is recorded to be played in movie theaters equipped
with multiple surround speakers, regardless of the format (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.).

Multiple surround speakers
Movie theater sound field
Listening room sound field
In this case it is important to achieve the same sense of
expansion as in a movie theater with the surround channels.
To do so, in some cases the number of surround speakers is
increased (to four or eight) or speakers with bipolar or dipolar
properties are used.
Other types of audio These signals are designed to recreate a 360° sound field using three to five speakers.
In this case the speakers should surround the listener from all sides to create a uniform sound
field from 360°. Ideally the surround speakers should function as point sound sources in the
same way as the front speakers.
FL C
SW
FR
SL SR
These two types of sources thus have different properties, and different speaker settings, particularly for the surround speakers, are required
in order to achieve the ideal sound.
The AVR-4802s surround speaker selection function makes it possible to change the settings according to the combination of surround
speakers being used and the surrounding environment in order to achieve the ideal surround sound for all sources. This means that you can
connect a pair of bipolar or dipolar surround speakers (mounted on either side of the prime listening position), as well as a separate pair of direct
radiating (monopolar) speakers placed at the rear corners of the listening room.
SL: Surround L channel
SR: Surround R channel
SB: Surround B (back) channel
62
Surround back speakers
The THX Surround EX format adds new Surround Back (SB) channels to the conventional 5.1-channel system. This makes it easy to achieve
sound positioned directly behind the listener, something that was previously difficult with sources designed for conventional multi surround
speakers. 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.

Change of positioning and acoustic image
with 5.1-channel systems
Speaker(s) for one or two channels are required in order to achieve a THX Surround EX system with the AVR-4802. Adding these, however, allows
you to achieve stronger surround effects not only with sources recorded in THX Surround EX, but also with conventional 2- to 5.1-channel sources.
The WIDE SCREEN mode is a mode for achieving surround sound with up to 7.1 channels using surround back speakers, for sources recorded
in conventional Dolby Surround as well as Dolby Digital 5.1-channel and DTS Surround 5.1-channel sources. Furthermore, all the Denon original
surround modes (see page 52) are compatible with 7.1-channel playback, so you can enjoy 7.1-channel sound with any signal source.

Number of surround back speakers
With THX Surround EX, the surround back channel consists of one channel of playback signals, but we recommend using two speakers. When
using dipolar speakers in particular, it is essential to use two speakers.
Using two speakers results in a smoother blend with the sound of the surround channels and better sound positioning of the surround back
channel when listening from a position other than the center.
2 Placement of the surround left and right channels when using surround back speakers
Using surround back speakers greatly improves the positioning of the sound at the rear. Because of this, the surround left and right channels
play an important role in achieving a smooth transition of the acoustic image from the front to the back. As shown on the diagram above, in a
movie theater the surround signals are also produced from diagonally in front of the listeners, creating an acoustic image as if the sound were
floating in space.
To achieve these effects, we recommend placing the speakers for the surround left and right channels slightly more towards the front than
with conventional surround systems. Doing so sometimes increases the surround effect when playing conventional 5.1-channel sources in the
THX Surround EX mode. Check the surround effects of the various modes before selecting the surround mode.
63
Set the front speakers, center speaker and subwoofer in the same
positions as in example (1).
It is best to place the surround speakers directly at the side or slightly
to the front of the viewing position, and 60 to 90 cm above the ears.
Same as surround back speaker installation method (1).
Using dipolar speakers for the surround back speakers as well is
more effective.
Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker A jacks on
the AVR-4802 and set all settings on the setup menu to A. (This is
the factory default setting. For details, see page 16.)
The signals from the surround channels reflect off the walls as
shown on the diagram at the left, creating an enveloping and realistic surround sound presentation.
For multi-channel music sources however, the use of bipolar or dipolar
speakers mounted at the sides of the listening position may not be satisfactory in order to create a coherent 360 degree
surround sound field. Connect another pair of direct radiating speakers as described in example (3) and place them at
the rear corners of the room facing towards the prime listening position.
Set the front speakers with their front surfaces as flush with the TV
or monitor screen as possible. Set the center speaker between the
front left and right speakers and no further from the listening position
than the front speakers.
Consult the owners manual for your subwoofer for advice on placing
the subwoofer within the listening room.
If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar) then place
them slightly behind and at an angle to the listening position and
parallel to the walls at a position 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet)
above ear level at the prime listening position.
When using two surround back speakers, place them at the back
facing the front at a narrower distance than the front left and right speakers. When using one surround back speaker,
place it at the rear center facing the front at a slightly higher position (0 to 20 cm) than the surround speakers.
We recommend installing the surround back speaker(s) at a slightly downward facing angle. This effectively prevents
the surround back channel signals from reflecting off the monitor or screen at the front center, resulting in interference
and making the sense of movement from the front to the back less sharp.
Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker A jacks on the AVR-4802 and set all settings on the setup menu
to A. (This is the factory default setting. For details, see page 16.)
Speaker setting examples
Here we describe a number of speaker settings for different purposes. Use these examples as guides to set up your system according to the type
of speakers used and the main usage purpose.
1. For THX Surround EX systems (using surround back speakers)
(1) Basic setting for primarily watching movies
This is recommended when mainly playing movies and using regular single way or 2-way speakers for the surround speakers.
(2) 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 (THX) 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.

Set the front speakers slightly wider apart than the setup for watching movies only and point them toward the listening
position in order assure clear positioning of the sound.
Set the center speaker in the same positions as in example (1).
Set surround speakers A for watching movies in the positions described in example (1) or (2), depending on the types
of speakers used.
Set surround speakers B for playing multi-channel music at the same height as the front speakers and slightly at an angle
to the rear of the listening position, and point them toward the listening position.
Connect the surround speakers for watching movies to the surround speaker A jacks on the AVR-4802, the surround
speakers for playing multi-channel music to the surround speaker B jacks. Set the surround speaker selection on the
setup menu. (For instructions, see page 19.)
To activate the appropriate speakers for movies and music, we suggest that during setup, choose Dolby Digital/DTS with
THX and Surround Speakers A (the bipolar or dipolar speakers mounted at the sides of the listening position).
Choose Dolby Digital/DTS without THX and Surround Speakers B
(the direct radiating speakers mounted at the rear corners of the
listening room). Then, by simply activating the THX function (used
during movie playback, the Surround A speakers are automatically
activated. For multi-channel music listening (Dolby Digital or DTS
music programs), turn off the THX enhancements by touching the
THX button on the remote control, and the Surround B speakers will
be automatically activated.
Example: Movie sources (Dolby, DTS surround, etc.)
THX or THX 5.1 mode: Speakers A
Music sources (DVD video, DTS CD, etc.)
Dolby/DTS surround: Speakers B
(3) When using different surround speakers for movies and music
To achieve more effective surround sound for both movies and music, use different sets of surround speakers and different surround
modes for the two types of sources.

speakers.
Consult the owners manual for your subwoofer for advice on placing the
subwoofer within the listening room.
If the surround speakers are direct-radiating (monopolar) then place them
slightly behind and at an angle to the listening position and parallel to the
walls at a position 60 to 90 centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above ear level at the
prime listening position.
Connect the surround speakers to the surround speaker A jacks on the
AVR-4802 and set all settings on the setup menu to A. (This is the factory
default setting. For details, see page 16.)

(1) Dolby Surround
q Dolby Digital (Dolby Surround AC-3)
Dolby Digital is the multi-channel digital signal format developed by Dolby Laboratories.
Dolby Digital consists of up to 5.1 channels - front left, front right, center, surround left, surround right, and an additional channel
exclusively reserved for additional deep bass sound effects (the Low Frequency Effects LFE channel, also called the .1 channel,
containing bass frequencies of up to 120 Hz).
Unlike the analog Dolby Pro Logic format, Dolby Digitals main channels can all contain full range sound information, from the lowest bass,
up to the highest frequencies 22 kHz. The signals within each channel are distinct from the others, allowing pinpoint sound imaging, and
Dolby Digital offers tremendous dynamic range from the most powerful sound effects to the quietest, softest sounds, free from noise and
distortion.

(2) DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround (also called simply DTS) is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems.
DTS offers the same 5.1 playback channels as Dolby Digital (front left, front right and center, surround left and surround right) as well as
the stereo 2-channel mode. The signals for the different channels are fully independent, eliminating the risk of deterioration of sound quality
due to interference between signals, crosstalk, etc.
DTS features a relatively higher bit rate as compared to Dolby Digital (1234 kbps for CDs and LDs, 1536 kbps for DVDs) so it operates with a
relatively low compression rate. Because of this the amount of data is great, and when DTS playback is used in movie theaters, a separate
CD-ROM synchronized with the film is played.
With LDs and DVDs, there is of course no need for an extra disc; the pictures and sound can be recorded simultaneously on the same disc,
so the discs can be handled in the same way as discs with other formats.
There are also music CDs recorded in DTS. These CDs include 5.1-channel surround signals (compared to two channels on current CDs). They
do not include picture data, but they offer surround playback on CD players that are equipped with digital outputs (PCM type digital output
required).
DTS surround track playback offers the same intricate, grand sound as in a movie theater, right in your own listening room.

w Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II is a new multi-channel playback format developed by Dolby Laboratories using feedback logic steering technology and
offering improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.
Dolby Pro Logic II can be used to decode not only sources recorded in Dolby Surround ( ) but also regular stereo sources into five
channels (front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right) to achieve surround sound.
Whereas with conventional Dolby Pro Logic the surround channel playback frequency band was limited, Dolby Pro Logic II offers a wider
band range (20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater). In addition, the surround channels were monaural (the surround left and right channels were
the same) with previous Dolby Pro Logic, but Dolby Pro Logic II they are played as stereo signals.
Various parameters can be set according to the type of source and the contents, so it is possible to achieve optimum decoding (see page
49).
Sources recorded in Dolby Surround
These are sources in which three or more channels of surround have been recorded as two channels of signals using Dolby Surround
encoding technology.
Dolby Surround is used for the sound tracks of movies recorded on DVDs, LDs and video cassettes to be played on stereo VCRs, as
well as for the stereo broadcast signals of FM radio, TV, satellite broadcasts and cable TV.
Decoding these signals with Dolby Pro Logic makes it possible to achieve multi-channel surround playback. The signals can also be
played on ordinary stereo equipment, in which case they provide normal stereo sound.
There are two types of DVD Dolby surround recording signals.
q 2-channel PCM stereo signals
w 2-channel Dolby Digital signals
When either of these signals is input to the AVR-1602, the surround mode is automatically set to Dolby Pro Logic II when the
DOLBY/DTS SURROUND mode is selected.

(3) DTS-ES Extended Surround
TM
DTS-ES Extended Surround is a new multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. While offering high
compatibility with the conventional DTS Digital Surround format, DTS-ES Extended Surround greatly improves the 360-degree surround
impression and space expression thanks to further expanded surround signals. This format has been used professionally in movie theaters
since 1999.
In addition to the 5.1 surround channels (FL, FR, C, SL, SR and LFE), DTS-ES Extended Surround also offers the SB (Surround Back, sometimes
also referred to as surround center) channel for surround playback with a total of 6.1 channels. DTS-ES Extended Surround includes two
signal formats with different surround signal recording methods, as described below.
2 DTS-ES
TM
Discrete 6.1
DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 is the newest recording format. With it, all 6.1 channels (including the SB channel) are recorded independently using
a digital discrete system. The main feature of this format is that because the SL, SR and SB channels are fully independent, the sound
can be designed with total freedom and it is possible to achieve a sense that the acoustic images are moving about freely among the
background sounds surrounding the listener from 360 degrees.
Though maximum performance is achieved when sound tracks recorded with this system are played using a DTS-ES decoder, when
played with a conventional DTS decoder the SB channel signals are automatically down-mixed to the SL and SR channels, so none of the
signal components are lost.
2 DTS-ES
TM
Matrix 6.1
With this format, the additional SB channel signals undergo matrix encoding and are input to the SL and SR channels beforehand. Upon
playback they are decoded to the SL, SR and SB channels. The performance of the encoder used at the time of recording can be fully
matched using a high precision digital matrix decoder developed by DTS, thereby achieving surround sound more faithful to the producers
sound design aims than with conventional 5.1- or 6.1-channel systems.
In addition, the bit stream format is 100% compatible with conventional DTS signals, so the effect of the Matrix 6.1 format can be achieved
even with 5.1-channel signal sources. Of course it is also possible to play DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 encoded sources with a DTS 5.1-channel
decoder.
When DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 or Matrix 6.1 encoded sources are decoded with a DTS-ES decoder, the format is automatically detected upon
decoding and the optimum playing mode is selected. However, some Matrix 6.1 sources may be detected as having a 5.1-channel format,
so the DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 mode must be set manually to play these sources.
(For instructions on selecting the surround mode, see page 47.)
The DTS-ES decoder includes another function, the DTS Neo:6 surround mode for 6.1-channel playback of digital PCM and analog signal
sources.
2 DTS Neo:6
TM
surround
This mode applies conventional 2-channel signals to the high precision digital matrix decoder used for DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 to achieve 6.1-
channel surround playback. High precision input signal detection and matrix processing enable full band reproduction (frequency response
of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) for all 6.1 channels, and separation between the different channels is improved to the same level as that
of a digital discrete system.
DTS Neo:6 surround includes two modes for selecting the optimum decoding for the signal source.
DTS Neo:6 Cinema
This mode is optimum for playing movies. Decoding is performed with emphasis on separation performance to achieve the same
atmosphere with 2-channel sources as with 6.1-channel sources.
This mode is effective for playing sources recorded in conventional surround formats as well, because the in-phase component is
assigned mainly to the center channel (C) and the reversed phase component to the surround (SL, SR and SB channels).
DTS Neo:6 Music
This mode is suited mainly for playing music. The front channel (FL and FR) signals bypass the decoder and are played directly so there
is no loss of sound quality, and the effect of the surround signals output from the center (C) and surround (SL, SR and SB) channels add
a natural sense of expansion to the sound field.
1 DTS signals are recorded in the same way on CDs and LDs as PCM signals. Because of this, the un-decoded DTS signals are output
as random hissy noise from the CD or LD players analog outputs. If this noise is played with the amplifier set at a very high volume,
it may possibly cause damage to the speakers. To avoid this, be sure to switch the input mode to AUTO or DTS before playing
CDs or LDs recorded in DTS. Also, never switch the input mode to ANALOG or PCM during playback. The same holds true when
playing CDs or LDs on a DVD player or LD/DVD compatible player. For DVDs, the DTS signals are recorded in a special way so this
problem does not occur.
2 The signals provided at the digital outputs of a CD or LD player may undergo some sort of internal signal processing (output level
adjustment, sampling frequency conversion, etc.). In this case the DTS-encoded signals may be processed erroneously, in which case
they cannot be decoded by the AVR-4802, or may only produce noise. Before playing DTS signals for the first time, turn down the
master volume to a low level, start playing the DTS disc, then check whether the DTS indicator on the AVR-4802 (see page 46) lights
before turning up the master volume.
3 A DVD player with DTS-compatible digital output is required to play DTS DVDs. A DTS Digital Output logo is featured on the front
panel of compatible DVD players. Recent DENON DVD player models feature DTS-compatible digital output consult the players
owners manual for information on configuring the digital output for DTS playback of DTS-encoded DVDs.

(5) Home THX Cinema Surround
THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX grew
from George Lucas personal desire to make your experience of the film soundtrack, in both movie theaters and in your home theater, as
faithful as possible to what the director intended.
Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theaters called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theaters with
similar equipment and conditions. The soundtrack created for movie theaters is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc.,
and is not changed for playback in a small home theater environment.
THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theater environment into the home,
correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On the AVR-4802, when the Home THX Cinema mode is on, THX processing is automatically
added after the Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS decoder:
Re-Equalization
TM
The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home because film
soundtracks are designed to be played back in large movie theaters using very different professional equipment. Re-Equalization restores the
correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a small home environment.
Timbre Matching
TM
The human ear changes our perception of a sound depending on the direction from which the sound is coming. In a movie theater, there is
an array of surround speakers so that the surround information is all around you. In a home theater, only two speakers located to the side of
your head are used. The Timbre Matching feature filters the information going to the surround speakers so that they more closely match the
tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the front and surround speakers.
Adaptive Decorrelation
TM
In a movie theater, a large number of surround speakers help create an enveloping surround sound experience, while in a home theater there
are usually only two speakers. This can make the surround speakers sound like headphones that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The
surround sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive Decorrelation slightly
changes one surround channels time and phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel. This expands the listening position
and createswith only two speakersthe same spacious surround experience as in a movie theater.
THX Ultra
TM
Before any home theater component can be THX Ultra certified, it must incorporate all the features above and also pass a rigorous series of
quality and performance tests. Only then can a product feature the THX Ultra logo, which is your guarantee that the Home Theater products
you purchase will give you superb performance for many years to come. THX Ultra requirements cover every aspect of the product including
power amplifier performance, pre-amplifier performance and operation, as well as hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog
domain.

(4) DTS 96/24
The sampling frequency, number of bits and number of channels used for recording of music, etc., in studios has been increasing in recent
years, and there are a growing number of high quality signal sources, including 96 kHz/24 bit 5.1-channel sources.
For example, there are high picture/sound quality DVD video sources with 96 kHz/24 bit stereo PCM audio tracks.
However, because the data rate for these audio tracks is extremely high, there are limits to recording them on two channels only, and since
the quality of the pictures must be restricted it is common to only include still pictures.
In addition, 96 kHz/24 bit 5.1-channel surround is possible with DVD audio sources, but DVD audio players are required to play them with this
high quality.
DTS 96/24 is a multi-channel digital signal format developed by Digital Theater Systems Inc. in order to deal with this situation.
Conventional surround formats used sampling frequencies of 48 or 44.1 kHz, so 20 kHz was about the maximum playback signal frequency.
With DTS 96/24, the sampling frequency is increased to 96 or 88.2 kHz to achieve a wide frequency range of over 40 kHz.
In addition, DTS 96/24 has a resolution of 24 bits, resulting in the same frequency band and dynamic range as 96 kHz/24 bit PCM.
As with conventional DTS Surround, DTS 96/24 is compatible with a maximum of 5.1 channels, so sources recorded using DTS 96/24 can be
played in high sampling frequency, multiple channel audio with such normal media as DVD videos and CDs.
Thus, with DTS 96/24, the same 96 kHz/24 bit multi-channel surround sound as with DVD-Audio can be achieved while viewing DVD-Video
images on a conventional DVD-Video player ( 1). Furthermore, with DTS 96/24 compatible CDs, 88.2 kHz/24 bit multi-channel surround can
be achieved using normal CD/LD players ( 1).
Even with the high quality multi-channel signals, the recording time is the same as with conventional DTS surround sources.
Whats more, DTS 96/24 is fully compatible with the conventional DTS surround format, so DTS 96/24 signal sources can be played with a
sampling frequency of 48 kHz or 44.1 kHz on conventional DTS or DTS-ES surround decoders ( 2).
1: A DVD player with DTS digital output capabilities (for CD/LD players, a player with digital outputs for conventional DTS CDs/LDs) and
a disc recorded in DTS 96/24 are required.
2: The resolution is 24 or 20 bits, depending on the decoder.

(6) THX Surround EX
In 1999, a new surround system was launched simultaneously with the release of the movie Star Wars Episode I. Dolby Digital Surround
EX is a new movie sound track that greatly enhances the sense of spatial expression and the positioning of the surround channel sound. The
result is 360 degrees of movement and moving sound effects that seem to pass right over the listener's head.
This system was developed jointly by Lucasfilm THX and Dolby Laboratories, fusing Lucasfilm's idea of improving spatial expression and
achieving a uniform 360 degree sound positioning with Dolby Laboratories' matrix encoding technology. Emphasis was placed on compatibility
with the existing system Dolby Digital 5.1-channel, and the new "surround back (SB) channel" was added to achieve improvements over the
conventional 5.1-channel system in terms of the positioning of the sound at the rear, the acoustic image of sound moving from the two sides
to the back as well as sound moving from the front to the center rear with the multi surround speaker systems used in movie theaters, thereby
enabling various types of surround sound.
The surround back channel signal is a matrix-encoded signal inserted into both the Dolby Digital SL (surround left) and SR (surround right)
channels. Upon playback, the signals are decoded by a high precision digital matrix decoder within the Dolby Digital decoder into the SL, SR
and SB channels and output as 6.1 channels of signals. With the AVR-4802, the signals further undergo Home THX Cinema processing to
achieve a THX Surround EX system.
Even without the proper environment for playing the SB channel, Dolby Digital Surround EX signals are 100% compatible with existing 5.1-
channel playback systems, so they can be played as such. In this case, the SB channel signal is produced as a monaural signal from both the
SL and SR channels, so none of the signal components are missing. The effects specific to THX Surround EX (the sense of spatial expression
and the positioning of the sound), however, are the same as with conventional 5.1-channel surround systems.
