Water and moisture — Do not use this unit near water, such as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like. 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). Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface. 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 d install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight
rack where ventilation may be impeded. Objects and liquid entry — Take care that objects or liquids do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings. Carts and stands — When placed or mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should be moved with care.

or fall. Wall or ceiling mounting —The unit should not be mounted on a wall or-ceiling, 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 — As a 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 plug 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 flovv to the unit, even when the power is turned off.
Outdoor Antenna

2
Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make sure it is located away from power lines. Outdoor antenna aroulndilng— Be sure the antenna system
is properly grounde~ to provi~e protection against unexpected voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS1/NFPA70, provides information on proper grounding oil the mast, supporting structure,
andl
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.

REMOTE CONTROL
This remote control system can memorize other remote control signal codes (see “MEMORIZING SIGNAL CODES), and allows you to operate external equipment with it through the supplied remote control extender (AV-X200 only),
Inserting batteries
Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control and insert two R6 (size AA) batteries.
R6(AA)
When to replace the batteries
The maximum operational distance between the remote control and the sensor on the unit should be approximately 5 meters (16 feet). When this distance decreases, replace the batteries with new ones.
m
If the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of
time, remove the batteries to prevent possible electrolyte leakage.
The remote control may not operate correctly when:
- The line of sight between the remote control and the remote sensor in the display window is exposed to intense light, such as direct sunlight.
- Other remote controls are used nearby (those of television, etc.)

The Dolby Pro Logic feature and the center and surround speakers (standard) assure full-scale home theater sound. When playing back laser discs or video software that have been specially recorded with four-channel sound (left, right, center, surround) and steering logic (for directing sound), astonishingly
realistic sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of
audio/visual entertainment.
Independent control of the four 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 field, while 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.
Check the following: * Before using the DOLBY PRO LOGIC, adjust the proper
balance of the speaker sound levels (see page 13).
oMake sure the speakers are properly connected and positioned
(see pages 3 and 4).
o Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected
(see page 3).

remote control, the signal codes stored are transmitted from the supplied remote control extender and external equipment will be operated. it can store a total of 30 signal codes of the external remote control.
Use the remote control.
1 Press the LEARN button.
“ADDRESS flashes on the display window.
2 Press one of the MEMORY buttons (A-O), then
the ADDRESS 1 or 2 button to designate the button on which the signal code is stored.
The indication you designated appears on the display. Example: When designating the ADDRESS 1 on the
MEMORY A button.
3 Pointing the remote control of the connected
equipment toward the unit, press the function button on it to be stored.
“LEARN will appear when the signal code is stored.
“ERROR may appear if the signal code is not accepted.
To stop storing
Press the LEARN button.

The signal code of the external remote control may not be
received:
- When the signal code to be stored is not standard
- When a fluorescent lamp lights up near the remote sl?nsor in the display window
Some signal codes, for example, those of the VOLUIME UP/
DOWN button, the SEARCH button and the SEND button to transmit the timer recording program may not be memorized correctly. When operating external equipment with the MEMORY and the ADDRESS buttons on which such signal codes are stored,
operations may not perform well.
When designating a button on which the signal code has already
been stored, the previous data is erased.
To operate the connected equipment
Press one of the MEMORY buttons, and the ADDRES!3 1 or 2 button on which the signal code has been stored.
Set the remote control extender so that it points toward (external
equipment to be operated.
As the remote control extender is not supplied to AV-X100, this
function is not available.
Using the supplied seals
Put the supplied seals on the remote control to identify the buttons and addresses on which the signal codes of external remote controls are stored.
It is recommended to store the signal codes in printed order of the seals. If they do not suit your arrangement or operation, use the supplied blank seals. Take the seals off the sheet and put them on the remote control.
After two seconds, the display returns to step 1.
