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 still does not easily insert 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 outlet.

- 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 biades of the piug.

5 When not in use — Unpiug the AC power cord from the power

outiet if the unit wiii not be used for severai months or more. When the cord is piugged in, a smail amount of current continues to fiow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

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 main unit should be approximately 5 meters (16 feet). When this distance decreases, replace the batteries with new ones.

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 remote control 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 inside the display window is exposed to intense light, such as direct sunlight

- Other remote controls are used nearby (those of a television,

etc.)

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

The DOLBY PRO LOGIC feature and the center and rear speakers (standard) assure full-scale home fheater sound. When playing back laser discs or video software that have been recorded in Doiby Surround, astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the iistener to create a new ievei of audio/visuai entertainment. Independent control of the four sound 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 iike cars and crowds are reproduced on all sides of the iistener for an incredibiy iifeiike 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 speaker sound levels.

• Make sure the supplied speakers are properly connected and positioned. (See page 4 and 5)

• Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected. (See page 5)

The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all 4 channels. The sequencer outputs a noise signal that “travels” from channel to channel, enabling the simple adjustment of sound level to achieve, at the listening position, the same apparent loudness from each channel.

Use the remote control.

1 Press DOLBY PRO LOGIC to select “NORMAL”.

“NORMAL” is displayed. If “PHANTOM” or “3 STEREO” is displayed, press DOLBY

PRO LOGIC repeatedly until “NORMAL” is selected.

When the sequencer outputs a noise signal, a clicking sound might be heard from the speakers due to the characteristics of

the circuit. This is not malfunction.

About the channels The left and right front 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 delay time

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 MANUAL SELECT

on the remote control repeatedly until “TIME” is displayed. Then,

GENERAL

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software are needed to optimize the performance of your unit.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft and dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could damage the finish of the unit.

To clean the tape heads

When the tape heads are dirty;

- high frequency sound is not emitted

- the sound is not adequately high

- the sound is off-balance

- the tape cannot be erased

- the tape cannot be recorded on After every 10 hours of use, clean the tape heads with a head cleaning cassette. Refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette for details.

To demagnetize the tape heads

The tape heads may become magnetized after long-term use. This may narrow the output range of recorded tapes and increase noise. After every 20 to 30 hours of use, demagnetize the tape heads with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette.

Refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing cassette for details.

Care of discs

• When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out with a cleaning cloth.

• After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the disc In places that are hot or humid.

Care of tapes

• Store tapes in their cases after use.

• Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or

any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound quality and cause noise.

• Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight.
