Speaker connections
• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers
making sure that like polarities are matched (

). 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 cable come
in contact with adjacent terminals, with other
speaker cable conductors, or with the rear panel.
NOTE:
NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the
power is on. Doing so could result in electric
shocks.
2 Speaker Impedance
• Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 Ω/ohms
can be connected for use as front, center, surround
and surround back speakers.
• Be careful when using two pairs of surround
speakers (A + B) at the same time, since use of
speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω/ohms
will lead to damage.
• 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.
Connecting the speaker cables
1. Loosen by turning
counterclockwise.
2. Insert the cable.
3. Tighten by turning
clockwise.
Either tightly twist or terminate the
core wires.
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 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 Ω/ohms) are
connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the
speaker output is cut off. Turn off the set’s power,
wait for the set to cool down, improve the
ventilation around the set, then turn the power
back on.
2 Connections
• The AVC-A11XV can be configured for 10 speaker playback using two pairs of surround speakers (A+B) and one
pair of surround back speakers as shown below.
• The output of each power amplifier can be assigned to any desired channel to best suit the application.
For details, refer to “Setting the Channel Setup” and “Setting the Power Amplifier Assignment” ( page 49,
50).
• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components.
