Getting Started Playback Remote Control Information Troubleshooting SpecificationsENGLISHMulti-ZoneSettingsProtection circuitIf the core wires touch the rear panel and the screwsetc., or the ± sides touch each other, the protectioncircuit will be activated and the power indicator willflash red at intervals of 0.5 secs.If the protection circuit is activated, the speakeroutput is isolated, and the power supply goes tothe standby state. If the power supply is turned off,after the power supply cord is withdrawn, pleaseconfirm that speaker cable and input cable areconnected.Also, if replaying large sound levels by usinga speaker having an impedance less than thatspecified (eg, 4 Ω/ohms), the temperature will rise,and the protection circuit might be activated. Thepower supply will go into the standby state, and thepower indicator will flash red at 2 second intervals.In this case, please switch off the power supply,and wait until the AVR-890 has cooled down, andthe surrounding ventilation is good.Even if there are no problems with the surroundingventilation and connections, in the event of theprotection circuit becoming activated, due tothinking that the AVR-890 has failed, please contactDENON Service center after switching off.w qw q w q*/(L) (R)w qw q(R)(L)w qw q(R)(L)Subwoofer withbuilt-in amplifierCenterspeakerSurroundspeakersFront speakersAFront speakersBFor connections of the SURR.
