BEFORE USING

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

• Moving the set To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in the connection cords, always unplug the power cord and disconnect the cennection cords between all other audie components when moving the set.

• Before turning the power switch on Check ence again that all cennectiens are preper and that there are net preblems with the connection cords. Always set the power switch to the standby pesitien before connecting and disconnecting

connectien cerds.

• Store this instructions in a safe place. After reading, store this instructions along with the warranty in a safe place.

• Note that the illustrations in this instructions may differ from

the actual set for explanation purposes.

CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this unit or any ether electronic equipment using microprecessers is used near a

tuner or TV. If this happens, take the fellewing steps:

• Install this unit as far as possible frem the tuner or TV.

• Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit's power cerd and input/output connectien cerds.

• Neise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor antennas or 300 £2/ohms feeder wires. We recommend using

outdoor antennas and 75 £2/ohms coaxial cables.

For heat dispersal, leave at least 4 inch/10 cm of space between the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other

components.

[] CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

• Switching the input function when input jacks are not connected

A clicking noise may be produced if tile input function is switched

when nothing is cennected to the input jacks. If this happens, either

turn down the MASTER VOLUME contrel er connect components te the input jacks.

• Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER

terminals

The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because ef this, the eutput signals are greatly reduced fer several secends after the power switch is

turned on or input function, surreund mode er any other-set-up is

changed. If the volume is turned up during this time, the output will be very high after the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait until the muting circuit turns off befere adjusting the velume.

_'1 CONNECTIONS

• Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections have been completed.

• Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with

left, right with right).

• Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections will result in the generation of noise.

•Nete that binding pin plug cords together with AC cords or placing them near a power transfermer will result in generating hum er

other noise.

• Neise or humming may be generated if a connected audio equipment is used independently without turning the power of this unit on. If this happens, turn on the pewer of the this unit.

• Use the AC OUTLETS for audio equipment only. Do not use

them for hair driers, etc.

• When making connections, also refer to the operating instructiens of the other components.

Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particulaL specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Notes:

• Do not connect two FM antennas simultaneously.

• Even if an external AM antenna is used, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna.

• Make sure AM loop antenna lead terminals do not touch metal parts of the panel.

• Connect the speaker terminals with the speakers making sure that like polarities are matched (® with _+_,O with ® ). Mismatching of polarities will

result in weak central sound, unclear orientation of the various instruments, and the sense of direction of the stereo being impaired.

• When making connections, take care that none of the individual conductors of the speaker cord come in contact with adjacent terminals, with other

• Speakers with an impedance of from 6 to 16 £Z/ohms can be connected for use as front and center speakers.

• Speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 £Z/ohms can be connected for use as surround speakers.

• Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the same time, since use of speakers with an impedance of less than 8 £Z/ohms will lead to

[ SURROUND BACK/MULTI ZONE SPEAKER SYSTEMS ]

FRONT SPEAKER SYSTEMS (B)

• This unit is equipped with a high-speed protection circuit. The purpose of this circuit is to protect the speakers under circumstances such as when the output of the power amplifier is inadvertently short-circuited and a large current flows, when the temperature surrounding the unit becomes unusually high, or when the unit is used at high output over a long period which results in an extreme temperature rise. When the protection circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off and the power supply indicator LED flashes. Should this occur, please follow these steps: be sure to switch off the power of this unit, check whether there are any faults with the wiring of the speaker cables or input cables, and wait for the unit to cool down if it is very hot. Improve the ventilation condition around the unit and switch the power back on.

If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the ventilation around the unit, switch off the power and contact a DEN©N service center.

• The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played for long periods of time at high volumes when speakers with an

impedance lower than the specified impedance (for example speakers with an impedance of lower than 4 _-_/ohms) are

connected. If the protector circuit is activated, the speaker output is cut off. Turn off the set's power, wait for the set to cool down, improve the ventilation around the set, then turn the power back on.

connected to both the S-Video and video input jacks, the on-screen display signals are output with priority to the S-Video monitor output. If you wish to output the signals to the video monitor output jack, do not connect a cord to the S-VIDEO MONITOR OUT jack. (For details, see page 49.)
