1 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 sot 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 ceiling, unless specified in the Operating
Instructions.
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.

Outdoor Aintenna

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 iead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the
size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals,
and requirements for grounding terminais themselves.
Antenna Grounding According to the Nationai Eiectricai Cord

Maintenance

Clean the unit only as recommended in the Operating instructions.

Eiectric 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.

Damage Requiring Service

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 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).
• Make sure the speakers are properly connected and positioned (see pages 3 and 4).
• Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected (see page 3).

4 Press the MANUAL SELECT button again to stop
the noise signai.
If the surround speakers volume of the DSP is changed (see page 8), the Dolby Pro Logic surround speakers level is 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.
