installation

■| Water and moisture — Do not use this unit near water, such
as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.
2 Heat — Do not use this unit near heat sources, including
heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41 °F) or higher than 35°C (95°F).
3 Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface. 4 Ventilation — The unit should be situated with adequate
space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from each side.
- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings.
- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack where ventilation may be impeded.
5 Objects and liquid entry — Take care that objects or liquids
do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.
6 Carts and stands — When placed or
mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit or cart to overturn or fall.
7 Wall or ceiling mounting — The unit should not be mounted
on a wall or celling, unless specified in the Operating Instructions.

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.

CONNECTIONS

Before connecting the AC cord

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.

The unit and the center and surround speakers (standard) assure full-scaie home theater sound. When playing back discs or video software that have been recorded in Dolby Pro Logic or Doiby Digital Surround, astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment. Independent control of the five channels allows the listener to enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in movie theaters. Voices are reproduced in the front and center sound fieid, whiie ambient sounds like cars and crowds are reproduced on all sides of the listener for an incredibly lifelike audio/video experience. Please read the following carefully to “tune” the system’s output to match the characteristics of your listening space.

TO SELECT A DOLBY PRO LOGIC MODE

1 Press the DOLBY SURROUND button, and turn
the MULTI JOG to select the appropriate mode.
The mode names are displayed in the order as shown below.
Check the following;
• Before enjoying the DOLBY SURROUND sound, adjust the
proper balance of the speaker sound levels (see page 16).
• Make sure the speakers are properly connected and positioned (see pages 3, 4 and 5).
• Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected (see page 3).
• Make sure the disc and video tape, etc., support Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital Surround.

SELECTING DOLBY PRO LOGIC

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;

“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

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.
