AUX terminalsThe AVR-2106’s front panel is equipped withV. AUX terminals. Remove the cap coveringthe terminals when you want to use them.Cautions on installationNoise or disturbance of the picture may begenerated if this unit or any other electronicequipment using microprocessors is usednear a tuner or TV.If this happens, take the following steps:• Install this unit as far away as possible fromthe tuner or TV.• Run the antenna wires from the tuner or TVaway from this unit’s power supply cord andinput/output connection cables.• Noise or disturbance tends to occurparticularly when using indoor antennas or300 Ω/ohm feeder wires. We recommendusing outdoor antennas and 75 Ω/ohmcoaxial cables.WallNoteCautions on handling• Switching the input source when input terminals are not connected.A clicking noise may be produced if the input source is switched when nothing is connected tothe input terminals. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control knob orconnect components to the input terminals.• Muting of PRE OUT terminals, PHONES jack and SPEAKER terminals.The PRE OUT terminals, PHONES jack and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Becauseof this, the output signals are greatly attenuated for several seconds after the power switch isturned on or the input source, surround mode or any other set-up is changed. If the volume isturned 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 switch is in the STANDBY state, the unit is still connected to AC linevoltage.Please be sure to turn off the power switch or unplug the cord when you leave home for,say, a vacation.Preparing the remote control unitThe included remote control unit (RC-1016) can be used to operate not only the AVR-2106 but otherremote control compatible DENON components as well. In addition, the memory contains controlsignals for other remote control units, so it can be used to operate non-DENON remote controlcompatible products.Note:For heat dispersal, do not install this unit in a confined space such as a bookcase or similarenclosure.Thank you for choosing the DENON AVR-2106 A/V Surround Receiver.
