Electric Power
1 Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources
specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on
the unit.
2 Polarization — Asa safety feature, some units are equipped
with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted
one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to
insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over
and try again. If it is not still inserted easily into the outlet,
please call a qualified service technician to service or replace
the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the
polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.
3 AC power cord
- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the
AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this
could result in fire or shock.
- Power cords should be firmly secured to avoid being
severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular
attention to the cord from the unit to the power socket.
- Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords
beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.
4 Extension cord — To help prevent electric shock, do not
use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be
completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the
plug.
5 When not in use — Unplug the AC power cord from the AC
power outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or
more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current
continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned
off.
Outdoor Antenna
1 Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make
sure it is iocated away from power iines.
2 Outdoor antenna grounding — Be sure the antenna system
is properiy grounded to provide protection against unexpected
voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70, provides information
on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and
the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the
size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals,
and requirements for grounding terminals themselves.
Antenna Grounding According to the National Electrical Code
The rated voltage of your unit shown on the rear panel is 120 V
AC. Check that the rated voltage matches your local voltage.
IMPORTANT
Connect the speakers, antennas, and all other external
equipment first. Then connect the AC cord at the end.
Be sure to connect the VIDEO OUT terminal of a DVD player
directly to a TV set, not through this unit. Otherwise, the picture
noise may appear when playing the DVDs copy protected.
Input sound through the 5.1 INPUT terminals cannot be
recorded. When recording the sound from the DVD player,
connect the AUDIO OUT (DOWN MIXING) terminals of the
DVD player to the VIDEO 1/DVD/MD AUDIO IN terminals of
the unit.
When connecting a monaural video, use a stereo-mono
connecting cord (not supplied).
CONNECTING EQUIPMENT
Jacks and plugs of the connecting cord are color-coded as
follows:
Red jacks and plugs : For the right channel of audio signals
White jacks and plugs: For the left channel of audio signals
Yellow jacks and plugs: For video signals.
Insert the plugs fully into the jacks. Loose connections may
produce a humming sound or other noise interference.
To get the proper sound effect, the speaker terminals on the unit
and the speaker should be connected with proper polarity; the -iterminal on the unit should be connected to the -i- terminal on
the speaker (and - to -).
• Be sure to connect the speaker cords correctly as shown in
the illustration on the right column. Improper connections can
cause short circuits in the SPEAKER(S) terminals.
• Do not leave objects generating magnetism near the speakers.
•
POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS
Position the speakers to make the most of the Dolby Digitai
Surround (5.1 CH), Dolby Pro Logic or DSP effect.

meter (3.2 feet) above ear height.
® Sub woofer
Place the sub woofer in any place between the two front
speakers.
NOTE
Sound from the surround speakers or center speaker depends
on the setting of the DSP, Dolby Pro Logic and 5.1 CH function.
CONNECTING THE SUPPLIED ANTENNAS (D
Connect the FM antenna to the FM 75 £2 terminals and the AM
antenna to the AM LOOP terminals.

The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a
noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all five channels.
The sequencer outputs a noise signal that “travels” from channel
to channel, enabling the simple adjustment of sound level to
achieve the same apparent loudness, at your listening position,
from each channel.
1 Select the Dolby Pro Logic mode according to
your current type and placement of the speakers.
(See page 15.)
2 Press the MANUAL SELECT button on the remote
control and hold it down for about two seconds
until “L” of “L/R OdB” starts to flash.
A noise signal is sent to each channel in turn as follows;
DOLBY PRO LOGIC NORMAL or WIDE mode
I
1_/R OdB (Left front speaker)*''
CEN OdB (Center speaker)
I
L/R OdB (Right front speaker)*'

“L” or “R” flashes to indicate one of the front speakers from which
the noise signal is output.
The noise signal is output from the L and R surround speakers at
the same time.
When adjusting the speakers level balance of the Dolby Pro
Logic, those of the DSP and 5.1 CH modes are also changed.
About the channels
The left and right speakers create the stereo effect.
The center speaker helps achieve precise sound positioning
over a broad sound field.
The rear-mounted surround speakers enhance the “depth” of
the sound field.
To change the surround speakers delay time of the Doiby
Pro Logic mode
The surround speakers reproduce sounds a split second after
the front speakers. The delay is initially set to 20 ms
(milliseconds).
To change this standard delay time, press the MANUAL SELECT
button on the remote control repeatedly so that “TIME20mS” is
displayed. Then, press the UP or DOWN button. Each time one
of the buttons is pressed, the delay time changes as shov/n
below.

To adjust the speakers level balance while listening to
the source (Dolby Pro Logic and 5.1 CH modes)
The speakers level balance can be changed after adjusting it
with the noise sequencer. The balance can be changed
whenever the Dolby Pro Logic system is turned on or the 5.1
CH function is selected.
1 Play a disc or video software recorded in Dolby Pro Logic or
Dolby Digital Surround.
2 Press the MANUAL SELECT button on the remote control
repeatedly so that “L/R”, “CEN”, “S-L”, “S-R" or “S-'W” (for
sub woofer in 5.1 CH mode) appears on the display.
