L DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

We declare under our sole responsibility that this product, to which this declaration relates, is in conformity with the following standards: EN60065, EN55013, EN55020, EN61000-3-2 and EN61000-3-3. Following the provisions of 73/23/EEC, 89/336/EEC and 93/68/EEC Directive.

L SAFETY PRECA UTIONS

• The POWER button on the front panel and remote control switches the unit from ON to STANDBY but does not isolate the unit from the mains supply. If it is to be left unattended for a long period of time, it is recommended that the unit is switched to standby and the mains plug is removed from the socket.

• Check that all connections are proper and that there are no problems with the connection cords. Always set the power to standby mode before connecting and disconnecting connection cords.

• If no sound is emitted from the speakers when the POWER is ON, turn down the MASTER VOLUME control and press the POWER button to switch the unit to standby mode. Then, check if the speaker cords are properly connected.

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

• This unit contains a muting circuit and it takes about 5 – 6 seconds for this unit to reach stable operation after switching the set to POWER ON mode.

• Never open the covers or touch the insides or insert a metal object. Any of these could cause an electric shock or a fault.

• When an electrical storm is present, unplug the power cord and disconnect the antenna connections.

• The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

• To clean the cabinets and panels when dirty, clean off dirt on the surfaces with a soft, dry

cloth. Never use thinner, benzene or alcohol, as these will damage the surface finish.

• Protect the unit against excessive heat (e.g. direct sunlight), dust and moisture.

• Be careful not to damage the power supply cord. Be sure to hold the plug when pulling it out;

do not pull the cord.

• Do not install the set in a confined location; otherwise, heat dissipation will be poor and malfunctions may occur.

SAFEGUARDS

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards, observe the following instructions for its installation, use and servicing.

L NOTES

• SWITCHING THE INPUT FUNCTION WHEN INPUT JACKS ARE NOT CONNECTED A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components to the input jacks.

• MUTING OF PRE OUT JACKS The PRE OUT jacks include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced for several seconds after the power operation switch is turned on or input function, surround mode or 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 before adjusting the volume.

• CONNECTIONS

ENGLISH

Connecting the audio components

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

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

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

• Note that binding pin plug cords together with power cords or placing them near a power transformer will

result in generating hum or other noise.

• Noise 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 power of the unit.

Speaker system connections

Speaker impedance

• When speaker systems A and B are used separately, speakers with an impedance of 6 to 16 Ω/ohms can be connected for use as front speakers.

• Be careful when using two pairs of front speakers (A + B) at the same time, since use of speakers with an impedance of 12 to 16 Ω/ohms.

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

CENTER SPEAKER SYSTEM

NOTE:

NEVER touch the speaker terminals when the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shocks.

SURROUND SPEAKER SYSTEMS

• Precautions when connecting speakers

If a speaker is placed near a TV or video monitor, the colors on the screen may be disturbed by the speaker’s magnetism. If this should happen, move the

speaker away to a position where it does not have this effect.

NOTE

• Protector circuit

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 shortcircuited 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 HITACHI service center.

• Note on speaker impedance

The protector circuit may be activated if the set is played f or long periods of time at high v olumes when speakers with an impedance lower than the specified impedance (for example speakers with an impedance of lower than 4 Ω/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.

L Parameters

Large ...... Select this when using speakers that can fully reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz.

Small ...... Select this when using speakers that cannot reproduce low sounds of below 80 Hz with sufficient

volume. When this setting is selected, low frequencies of below 80 Hz are assigned to the subwoofer.

None ...... Select this when no speakers are installed.

Yes/No .... Select “Yes” when a subwoofer is installed, “No” when it’s not installed.

NOTE:

Select “Large” or “Small” not according to the physical size of the speaker, but according to the bass reproduction capacity at 80 Hz. If you cannot determine the best setting, try comparing the sound when set to “Small” and when set to “Large”, at a level that will not damage the speakers.
