Before Installation

Precautions

General precautions

•DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.

•DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.

•DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.

Locations

•Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from moisture.

•The temperature around the unit must be between –5˚C and 35˚C.

•Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.

Handling the unit

•DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.

•DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.

•Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. Coaxial cable is recommended for the antenna connection, since such cable is well-shielded against interference.

•When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord, the preset settings such as preset FM or AM channels and sound adjustments may be erased within a few days.

This mark indicates that ONLY the remote control CAN be used for the operation explained.

Getting Started

Connecting the AM and FM Antennas

AM antenna connection

Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to the AM LOOP terminals.

Turn the loop until you have the best reception.

•If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinylcovered wire (not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)

FM antenna connection

Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL terminal as a temporary measure.

Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.

•If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor FM antenna (not supplied). Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable with a connector, disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

1Open the terminal.

2Insert the AM antenna cord.

3Close the terminal.

Notes:

•If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting it as shown to the right.

•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords, or power cord. This could cause poor reception.

1Twist and remove the insulation at the end of each speaker cord.

2Open the terminal (1), then insert the speaker cord (2).

3Close the terminal.

7 How to connect the subwoofer

Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).

• Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.

By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or reproduce the original LFE signals recorded in the digital software.

Since bass sound is non-directional, you can place a subwoofer wherever you like. Normally place it in front of you.

After connecting the front, center, surround speakers and/ or a subwoofer, set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the best possible Surround effects with your listening conditions. For details, see pages 13 and 14.

•“NO” for the subwoofer and “LARGE” for the front speakers, “SMALL” for the center and surround speakers are initial settings.

Getting Started

Digital Connections

This receiver is equipped with two DIGITAL IN terminals—one digital coaxial terminal and one digital optical terminal.

You can connect any component to one of the digital terminals using a digital coaxial cable (not supplied) or digital optical cable (not supplied).

Digital coaxial cable

Digital optical cable

IMPORTANT:

•When connecting a video component using the digital terminal, you also need to connect it to the video jack on the rear. Without connecting it to the video jack, you cannot view the playback picture.

•After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN terminals, correctly set the following if necessary:

–Set the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly. For details, see “Selecting the Digital Input Terminals—DIGITAL IN” on page 14.

–Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see “Selecting the Analog or Digital Input Mode” on page 15.

Rear panel

When the component has a digital coaxial output terminal, connect it to the DIGITAL 1 (DVD) terminal, using

DIGITAL 1

the digital coaxial cable (not (DVD) supplied).

When the component has a digital

	optical output terminal, connect it to	( CD )
	the DIGITAL 2 (CD) terminal, using
	the digital optical cable (not	IN
	supplied).
	Before connecting a digital
	optical cable, unplug the
	protective plug.

Notes:

•When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals have been set for use with the following components:

–DIGITAL 1 (coaxial): For DVD player

–DIGITAL 2 (optical): For CD player

•When you want to operate the CD player or CD recorder using the COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the target component also as described in “Analog Connections” (see page 7).

•When you want to operate the DVD player using the AV COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the DVD player also as described in “Analog Connections” (see page 8).

Connecting the Power Cord

Before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made.

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference.

CAUTIONS:

•Do not plug in before setting the voltage selector switch on the rear of the unit and all connection procedures are complete.

•Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

•Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.

•When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the front panel.

1 On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover.

2 Insert batteries.

• Make sure to match the polarity:

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

3 Replace the cover.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type drycell batteries.

CAUTION:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

•Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

•Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage.

•Always replace both batteries at the same time.

•Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
