CAUTION:
• Only one cassette deck can be connected to the ADV-M51 using system connections. System operations cannot be performed pro\
perly iftwo cassette decks are connected using system connections.
• Whenever the power operation switch is in the STANDBY position, the unit is still connected to AC line voltage.
• Please be sure to unplug the power cord when you leave home for, e.g.,a vacation, etc.
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to
Article 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point\
of cable entry as practical.
System operations
Such system operations as the timer and the auto power on functions, as \
well
as remote control operations cannot be performed unless all the RCA pin-\
plug
cords and system connector cords are connected between the units, so be \
sure
to make all the connections properly as shown in the diagram. Also,
disconnecting system connectors while the system is operating may result\
 in
malfunctions. Be sure to unplug the power cord before changing connectio\
ns.NOTES:
• Do not plug the power cord into the power outlet until all connections a\
re completed. Be sure to interconnect the channels (L to L (white) and R\
 to R
(red)) properly, as shown on the diagram.
• Use the AC OUTLET for audio equipment only. Do not use them for hair driers, etc.
• Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections may result in noise.
• Be sure to connect the speaker cords between the speaker terminals and the speaker systems with the same polarities ( + to +, – to – ).\
 If the
polarities are switched, the sound at the center will be weak, the posit\
ion
of the different instruments will be unclear, and the stereo effect will be
lost.
• After unplugging the power cord, wait about 5 seconds before plugging it\
 back in.
• Note that setting the connection cords (pin-plug cords) next to the po\
wer cords may result in humming or other noise.

About the LINE-1 and LINE-2 analog recording outputs
When the DVD or the D.AUX digital input is selected:
• Dolby Digital, DTS, AAC and PCM digital signals are automatically conver\
ted to 2-channel stereo signals before being output (ex cept
when in the Dolby Headphone mode) and can be recorded in analog. (For \
what happens in the Dolby Headphone mode, see 3 below.)
When TUNER, LINE-1 or LINE-2 is selected:
• The selected analog audio signals from the tuner or from the device conn\
ected to the LINE-1 or LINE-2 analog input terminals (I N) are
output unchanged, regardless of the ADV-M51’ s input mode or surround mode. (The same is true for the device connect\
ed to the
D.AUX terminals when “LINE-2” under “ ⁄\fSETTING UP THE SYSTEM  – (3) Detailed system setup  – [5] Function settings” is set to
“D.AUX”.)
Recording output during playback of a DVD, D.AUX or LINE-1 digital input\
 source in the Dolby Headphone mode:
• In the Dolby Headphone mode with a DVD or a digital input selected, the \
Dolby Headphone mode analog audio signals currently bei ng
played are output and can be recorded in analog. (See pages 57 and 58.)\
Cautions during analog recording of DVDs or digital input sources:
• Do not switch the ADV-M51’ s input mode, surround mode or surround parameters during recording. Doi\
ng so will interrupt the
sound being recorded. We recommend setting the surround mode to  “STEREO” or “DIRECT”.
• When using headphones, recording is automatically performed in the Dolby\
 Headphone mode. Do not disconnect the headphones
or switch the headphones mode during recording.
(7) Speaker system connections
Be sure to turn the amplifier ’s power off when connecting the
speaker systems.
• Use the included cables to connect the input terminals on the back
of the speaker systems (see diagram) to the amplifier’ s speaker
output terminals. Connect the speaker system for the left channel
amplifier’ s “L” terminals, the one for the right channel to the
amplifier’ s “R” terminals, matching the polarities (“ ≈” and “ √”
marks). Inverting the polarities will result in unnatural sound, with
the phase off or no low bass sound. Also check that all two terminal
knobs are tightly fastened. Connecting the speaker cords
Use the included connection cords to connect the input terminals on
the backs of the speaker systems (see the diagram at the right) to the\
ADV-M51’
s speaker output terminals.
• Connect the speaker system for the left channel to the “L”
terminals, the speaker system for the right channel to the  “R”
terminals, and be sure the polarities (“+” and “–”) are properly
interconnected.
• Note that if the polarities are inverted, the phase may be off and the
bass sound may be missing, resulting in an unnatural sound. Also
check that both the speaker terminal ’s screws are tightly screwed.

(8) Using the active subwoofer (DSW-3L) (D-M51DVS only)
•This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit. The purpose \
of this circuit is to protect the speakers under circum stances 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 l\
ong 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 pr\
oblems with the wiring or the ventilation around the un it, switch off
the power and contact a DENON service center.
Protector circuit
• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long per\
iods 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.
Note on speaker impedance
• With this unit’ s speaker outputs, signals with the reverse phase of the  “+” side output terminal’s signals are also output from the  “–” side
output terminal.
Do not connect to a device for switching between multiple speakers (a s\
peaker selector or audio channel selector) or connect in  ways other
than described in this manual. Doing so will result in damage.
Cautions on connecting
Either twist the core wires
firmly or terminate the wires.
q Turn the speaker
terminal
counterclockwis
e to loosen it. w
Insert the cord’ s
core wires. e
Turn clockwise to
tighten the
terminal.
When using banana plugs, turn
clockwise to tighten the terminal
before inserting.
Connecting banana plugs
1. Set the power switch to the  “ON” position.
• When the unit’ s AC power cord is plugged into a switched AC outlet on the amplifier, if the power switch is left at the  “ON” position, the
unit’ s power turns on and off automatically when the amplifier ’s power is turned on and off.
• If the AC power cord is not plugged into a switched AC outlet on the amp\
lifier, set the unit ’s power switch to the “ ON” position after turning
on the amplifier ’s power. When turning the power off, set the unit ’s power switch to the  “OFF”  position before turning off the amplifier’ s power.
2. Adjust the volume using the volume adjustment control. For details, see  “PART NAMES AND FUNCTIONS”.

Removing the speaker net (SC-A3L) (D-M51DVS only)
* The net on the front of the speaker systems (SC-A3L) can be removed.
•To remove, grasp both sides of the net and pull forward.
• To mount, line up the holes in the four corners of the speaker net with t\
he projecting pieces in the four corners of the cabine t and press in.
The red side is the “+” side, the black side
the “–” side.
