PRECAUTION
Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before
operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions
for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating
Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well
as the safety suggestions below.
Installation
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 sources of heat, 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 greater 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.
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 moved 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 celling, unless specified in the Operating
Instructions.

ENGLISH
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 blades of the plug.
5 When not in use — Unplug the AC power cord from the power
outlet 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 Antenna
1
Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make
sure it is located away from power lines.
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/NFPA 70, 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.

frequency signals, and the sound of B in response to high
frequency signals.
' The AUTO SPICE function cannot be used together with the
BEAT function.
’ Depending on the music the AUTO SPICE function may not

recorded in Dolby Surround, 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 4 and 5)
• Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected.
A noise signal is sent to each channel in turn in the following
sequence.

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.
Press MANUAL SELECT again to stop the noise signal.
• 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.
• If the surround speakers or the center speaker level of the
DOLBY PRO LOGIC is changed, that of the SURROUND
system (page 16) is also changed.
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,
press DOWN or ► ► UP. Each time one of the buttons is
pressed, the delay time changes as shown below.
