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.

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.
ENGLISH
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 flow to the unit, even when the power is turned
off.

PRECAUTIONS...
Outdoor Antenna
1 Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make
sure it is located away from power lines.
2 Outdoor antenna grounding — Be sure the antenna system
is properly 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.

PREPARATIONS
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.
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.
ENGLISH
CONNECTING SPEAKERS ®
Speaker terminais
Connect front speakers (system A and/or B), a center speaker
and surround speakers to the corresponding speaker terminals
on the unit:
- the front speaker cords to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals
- the center speaker cord to the CENTER SPEAKER terminals
- the surround speaker cords to the SURROUND SPEAKERS
terminals.
For more powerful bass, connect a sub woofer with a built-in
amplifier to the SUPER WOOFER “1 jack.
Speaker impedance
• Front and center speakers
The SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR on the rear should be
set to the position that matches the impedance value of the front
and center speakers.
When using 4 ohm speakers, set the selector to 4£2. When using
8 ohm speakers, set the selector to 8Q. Please unplug the AC
cord before setting the selector.
• Surround speakers and super woofer
The SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR has no effect on the
SURROUND SPEAKERS terminals and the SUPER WOOFER
jack. For the surround speakers and sub woofer, use speakers
of 8 ohms or more.
Front speakers

Q.
Connecting + to +, - to - terminals
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.
• When using a sub woofer, select the speaker system A (see
page 6). Otherwise no sound can be heard from it.
POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS
Position the speakers to make the most of the Dolby Pro Logic
or DSP effect (see “DOLBY PRO LOGIC”).
(D Front speakers © Center speaker
Position in the center of the two front speakers. In addition,
position on or below the TV set, if connecting a TV set to the
unit.
© Surround speakers
Place the surround speakers directly to the side of or slightly
behind the listening area. Align them horizontally, about 1
meter (3.2 feet) above ear height.
' Sound is heard from the surround speakers when the DSP is
set to on.
' Sound is heard from the center speaker mainly when the Dolby
Pro Logic is set to on. Note that when you select the PHANTOM
mode of the Dolby Pro Logic, the center speaker is muted.
(For details, see “DOLBY PRO LOGIC”).

antenna to the AM LOOP terminals.
FM antenna
REMOTE CONTROL
Inserting batteries
Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control and
insert two R6 (size AA) batteries.
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.
To stand the AM loop antenna on a surface
Fix the claw to the slot as shown in the illustration.
To position the antennas FM feeder antenna:
Extend this antenna horizontally in a T shape and fix its ends to
the wall.
AM loop antenna:
Position for the best reception.
• Do not bring the FM antenna near metal objects or curtain rails.
• Do not bring the AM antenna near other external equipment,
the unit itself, the AC power cord or speaker cords, as noise
will be picked up.
• Do not unwind the AM loop antenna wire.
Using the remote control
The instructions in this manual refer mainly to the buttons on the
main unit. Buttons on the remote control with the same names
as those on the main unit can be used as well.
• 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.)
CONNECTING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
For better FM reception, use of an outdoor antenna is
recommended. Connect the outdoor antenna to the FM 75 Q
terminals.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC
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
recorded in Dolby Surround, 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).
• Make sure the speakers are properly connected and positioned
