The AVR-1800 was a basic five-channel audio receiver introduced by Denon in 1999. It was replaced by the 1801 model in 2000. The receiver can put out 75 watts per channel and has basic video connections (composite), plus digital connections for TOSLINK and S/PDIF inputs. For audio, in addition to standard left/right analog audio connections, the AVR-1800 has two TOSLINK optical connections and one S/PDIF digital connection. Use the S/PDIF for the DVD and the TOSLINK for your HD cable or satellite box. Connect the speakers to their appropriate terminals, using banana plugs or by sliding the wire through the terminals and tightening them down. Go to “Delay Time” next. Measure the distance of the front speakers, center speaker, subwoofer and surrounds from the main listening position in the room and enter that information in the appropriate speaker fields. The default is 12 feet for front and center and 10 feet for surrounds. Writer Bio
