(41 °F) or greater than 35°C (95T).
3 Mounting surface — Place the unit on a fiat, even surface.
4 Ventilation — The unit shouid be situated with adequate
space around it so that proper heat ventiiation is assured.
Allow 10 cm (4 in.) ciearance from the rear and the top of the
unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from the each side.
- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or simiiar surface that
may biock the ventiiation openings.
~ Do not instail the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack
where ventiiation 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 Condensation — Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens
when:
- The unit is meved from a cold spot to a warm spot
- The heating system has just been turned on
- The unit is used in a very humid room
- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner
When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function
normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours,
then try to operate again.
8 Wall or ceiling mounting —The unit should not be mounted
on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating
Instructiens.
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.

The Dolby Pro Logic feature and the center and rear 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, rear) and
steering logic (for sound directionality), astonishingly realistic
sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of audio/visual
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 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 speaker sound levels.
• Make sure the supplied speakers are properly connected and
positioned. (See page 3)
• Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected.
