A.Using the Supplied FM Antenna

The FM antenna provided can be connected to the FM 75Ω COAXIAL terminal as temporary measure.

B.Using the Standard Type Connector (Not Supplied)

A standard type connector (IEC or DIN45325) should be connected to the FM 75Ω

COAXIAL terminal.

Note:

If reception is poor, connect the outside antenna.

Before attaching a 75Ω coaxial cable (the kind with a round wire going to an outside antenna), disconnect the supplied FM wire antenna.

Notes:

•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could cause poor reception.

•If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinylcovered wire to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM (MW/ LW) loop antenna connected.)

Connecting the Speakers

You can connect the following speakers:

•Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound.

•One pair of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect.

•One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to emphasize human voices).

•One subwoofer to enhance the bass.

IMPORTANT:

After connecting the speakers listed above, set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the best possible performance. For details, see pages 19 and 20.

For each speaker (except for subwoofer), connect the (–) and (+) terminals on the rear panel to the (–) and (+) terminals marked on the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer, see page 7.

• Turntable			• DVD player*
• CD player*			• TV
• Cassette deck or MD recorder*			• DBS tuner*
			• VCRs
			• Video camera

*You can connect these components using the methods described in “Analog connections” (below) or in “Digital connections” (see page 12).

Analog connections

Audio component connections

Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).

Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, and the red plug to the audio right jack.

If your audio components have a COMPU LINK-3 or TEXT COMPU LINK terminal

•See also page 55 for detailed information about the connection and the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system.

•See also page 56 for detailed information about the connection and the TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system.

CAUTION:

If you connect a soundenhancing device such as a graphic equalizer between the source components and this receiver, the sound output through this receiver may be distorted.

Notes:

•Any turntables incorporating a small-output cartridge such as an MC (moving-coil type) must be connected to this receiver through a commercial head amplifier or step-up transformer. Direct connection may result in insufficient volume.

•You can connect either a cassette deck or an MD recorder to the TAPE/MD jacks. When connecting an MD recorder to the TAPE/MD jacks, change the source name, which will be shown on the display when selected as the source, to “MD.” See page 18 for details.

Video component connections

Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).

Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the audio right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack.

If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) terminals, connect them using S-video cables (not supplied). Connecting these video components through the S-video input/output terminals will give you better picture playback (or recording) quality.

IMPORTANT:

This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input/output terminals for connecting video components.

You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video terminals. However, remember that the video signals from the composite video input terminals are output only through the composite video output terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminals are output only through the S-video output terminals.

Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing component on the recording component. In addition, if the TV and a playing video component are connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot view the playback picture from the playing component on the TV.

To view and record the playback picture from the video component connected to the VCR2 jacks, you must connect the TV and the recording video component through the composite video terminals.

Connecting the TV and/or DBS tuner

You can connect either the TV or DBS tuner to the TV SOUND/DBS jacks.

Digital connections

This receiver is equipped with three DIGITAL IN terminals — one digital coaxial terminal and two digital optical terminals.

To enjoy Dolby Digital, you have to connect the source components using the DIGITAL IN terminals.

You can connect any component to any one of the digital terminals using the digital coaxial cable (not supplied) or digital optical cable (not supplied).

DBS tuner

IMPORTANT:

•When connecting the DVD player or the DBS tuner using the digital terminal, you also need to connect it to the video jack (either composite video terminal or S-video terminal) on the rear. Without connecting it to the video jack, you can view no playback picture.

•After connecting the above components using the DIGITAL IN terminals, set the following correctly if necessary.

–Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see “Selecting the Input Mode” on page 18.

–Set the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly. For details, see “Digital Input (DIGITAL IN) Terminal Setting” on page 20.

English

Notes:

•When shipped from the factory, the DIGITAL IN terminals has been set for use with the following components.

–DIGITAL 1 (coaxial): For DBS tuner

–DIGITAL 2 (optical): For DVD player

–DIGITAL 3 (optical): For CD player

•When you want to operate the CD player or MD recorder using the COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the target component also as described in “Analog connections” (see page 9).

Connecting the Power Cord

Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all connections have been made.

1.Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

2.Press POWER to set it in the _ON position.

The STANDBY lamp lights up. A small amount of power is always consumed.

To shut off the power completely

Press POWER to set it in the —OFF position.

POWER

_ON

Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. We recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna, since it is well-shielded against interference.

The difference between the POWER switch and the STANDBY/ON button

•The POWER switch is the mains supply switch, allowing the receiver to connect to the mains supply. To shut off the power completely, press the POWER switch to set it in the —OFF position.

•The STANDBY/ON button is a functional on/off (standby) switch, and does not disconnect the receiver from the mains supply. A small amount of power is consumed even in standby mode for the receiver to accept signals from the remote control.

Note:

The preset settings such as preset channel and sound adjustment may be erased in the following cases:

–When you press POWER to set it in the —OFF position.

–When you unplug the power cord.

–When a power failure occurs.

CAUTIONS:

•Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.

•Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage the cord.

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first. When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.

1.On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover as illustrated.

2.Insert batteries. Make sure to observe the proper polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to

(–).

3.Replace the cover.

R03 (UM-4)/AAA (24F)

	-	+
	+
	-

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R03 (UM-4)/AAA (24F) type dry-cell batteries.

CAUTION:

Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:

•Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity indicated: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

•Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may differ in voltage.

•Always replace both batteries at the same time.

•Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
