About the remote control unit
Notes on batteries:
• Replace the batteries with new ones if the set does not operate
even when the remote control unit is operated nearby the unit.
(The attached batteries are only for verifying operation.)
• When inserting the batteries, be sure to do so in the proper
direction, following the “<” and “>” marks in the battery
compartment.
• To prevent damage or leakage of battery fluid:
• Do not use a new battery together with an old one.
• Do not use two different types of batteries.
In addition to controlling the DRA-397, the attached system remote
control unit (RC-1052) can also be used to control the following
products:
q DENON component products
w Component products other than DENON:
• Store the operating instructions in a safe place.
After reading the operating instructions, store them in a safe place
as they could come in handy in the future.
• Whenever the power operation button is in the STANDBY state,
the unit is still connected to AC line voltage.
Please be sure to turn off the power operation button or unplug
the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation.
• Set using the preset memory function (
page 20).
• Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from
the actual unit for explanation purposes.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of batteries
in flames.
Inserting the batteries
q Remove the remote control unit’s rear cover.
• If the battery fluid should leak, carefully wipe the fluid off the
inside of the battery compartment and insert new batteries.
• Remove the batteries from the remote if it will not be in use for
long periods.
Cautions on installation
Note:
• When replacing the batteries, have the new batteries ready and

Pin-plug cable
When using speakers with an impedance
below the designated value (for example 4
Ω/ohms), playing for long periods of time with
the volume high could cause the temperature
to rise, activating the protection circuit.
When the protection circuit is activated, the
output to the speakers is cut off and the power
indicator blinks. If this happens, unplug the
power cord, wait for the set to cool off and
improve ventilation around the unit. Also check
the wiring of the input cables and the speaker
cables. After doing this, plug the power cord
back in and turn the unit’s power back on.
