2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water - for example, near a bathtub,

washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is
recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive

force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with
its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a book case
or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in
the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

11. Grounding or Polarization - Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means
of an appliance are not defeated.

12. Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.

13. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only
as recommended by the manufacturer.

14. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be
located away from power lines.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside
antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built
up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.

16. Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused
for a long period of time.

17. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall, and liquids are not spilled,
into the enclosure through openings.

18. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled, into the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or

BEFORE YOU START

Using the Remote Control

• Point the Remote Control at the REMOTE SENSOR located on the Unit.

• When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared REMOTE SENSOR may be
degraded, causing unreliable operation.

• The recommended effective distance for remote operation is about 16 feet (5 meters).

To install Batteries

1.Open the battery door.

Battery Replacement

When batteries become weak, the operating distance of the Remote Control is greatly reduced and you will
need to replace the batteries.

2.Insert two "AA" or UM-3 size batteries.

Notes:

• If the Remote Control is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid damage caused
by battery leakage corrosion.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-ZINC) or rechargeable
(NICKEL-CADMIUM) batteries.

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc. that gives movie theatre
ambience to audio output when the Unit is connected to a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel processor
or amplifier. This Unit automatically recognizes DVDs that have been recorded with Dolby Digital.
Not all Dolby Digital sources are recorded with 6 channels.
Some sources marked Dolby Digital may be recorded in Dolby Surround, a 2 channel system.
Look for this logo on your DVD Unit.

Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-bandwidth output channels from two-channel sources. This
is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial
properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.

Movie Mode (MOVIE)

The Movie mode in Pro Logic II is very similar to that of the original Pro Logic decoder. The main difference is that it has
stereo surround channels and no surround filter, unlike Pro Logic which has a mono surround channel and a 7 kHz
surround filter. Movie mode is the standard required for all A/V systems. When an autosound unit has a video screen,
it is also considered an A/V system. It can be called simply "Pro Logic II".

Music Mode (MUSIC)

The Music mode offers users some flexibility to control the end results to their own taste. Music mode should not be used
with THX audio processing mode. Music mode is recommended as the standard mode for autosound music systems
(without video), and is optional for A/V systems. It is recommended that Music mode be identified as the "Music" version
of Pro Logic II, to distinguish it from the Movie mode.

(continued to next page)(continued to next page)

ADJUSTING THE SOUND

Pro Logic Emulation Mode

The Pro Logic emulation mode offers users the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic, in case the source
content is not of optimum quality, or if there is a desire to hear the program more "as it used to be". When this mode is
used, it is called Pro Logic, as before. There is no "Pro Logic I" mode. The Pro Logic emulation mode is optional. Dolby
does not require PLII products to use the original Pro Logic decoding algorithm. However, if the DSP contains the original
Pro Logic code, and if the product maker would like to use it, this is quite acceptable and even encouraged. A product
must not offer both original Pro Logic and the Pro Logic emulation mode.

Matrix Mode

The Matrix mode is the same as the Music mode except that the directional enhancement logic is turned off. It may be
used to enhance mono signals by making them seem "larger". The Matrix mode may also find use in auto systems, where
the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic decoder.
The ultimate "cure" for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono.
