minimize power consumption for safe use. Therefore,
1. When doing initial setting, complete all the connections required,
connect the mains plug into the wall outlet, and set the POWER
switch to ON. After these, it will be available to operate STANDBY/
ON button and so on.
2. When not in use, set the POWER switch to OFF.
3. Disconnect the mains plug to shut the power off completely. The
POWER switch and STANDBY/ON button in any position
do not disconnect the mains line.
4. The power can be remote controlled.
Achtung –– POWER-Schalter und STANDBY/ON -Taste!
Dieses Gerät hat einen Netzschalter ( POWER), um den
Stromverbrauch für sichere Verwendung auf ein Minimum bringen zu
können. Verfahren Sie deshalb wie folgt:
1. Beim ursprünglichen Aufbau alle erforderlichen Anschlüsse
herstellen, den Netzstecker in eine Wandsteckdose stecken, und
den POWER-Schalter einschalten. Anschließend ist Betrieb
der STANDBY/ON -Taste usw. möglich.
2. Wenn das Gerät nicht verwendet wird, den POWER-Schalter
ausschalten.
3. Den Netzstecker aus der Steckdose ziehen, um die
Stromversorgung vollkommen zu unterbrechen. Der POWERSchalter und die STANDBY/ON -Taste unterbrechen in keiner
Stellung die Stromversorgung vollkommen.
4. Die Stromversorgung kann mit der Fernbedienung ein- und
ausgeschaltet werden.
Attention — Commutateur POWER et d’une touche STANDBY/
ON !
Cet appareil est équipé d’un commutateur POWER qui lui permet de
réduire sa consommation d’électricité pour une utilisation plus sûre.
Par conséquent,

Getting Started
This section explains how to connect stereo components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect
the power supply.
English
Before Installation
General
• Be sure your hands are dry.
• Turn the power off to all components.
• Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to connect.
Locations
• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from moisture.
• The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚ and 35˚ C
(23˚ and 95˚ F ).
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor ventilation could cause
overheating and damage the receiver.
Handling the receiver
• Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.
• Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.
• Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.
Checking the Supplied Accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following items, which are supplied with the
receiver.
The number in the parentheses indicates quantity of the pieces supplied.
• Remote Control (1)
• Batteries (2)
• AM (MW/LW) Loop Antenna (1)
• FM Antenna (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

A standard type connector (IEC or DIN45325) should be connected to the FM 75 Ω
COAXIAL terminal.
Note:
If reception is poor, connect the
outside antenna.
Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial
cable (the kind with a round wire
going to an outside antenna),
disconnect the supplied FM wire

Connecting the Speakers
You can connect the following speakers:
• Two sets of front speakers to produce normal stereo sound
• One set of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect
• One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to make human
voices outstanding)
For each speaker, connect one end of the speaker signal cable (not supplied) to the
speaker terminal on the rear panel and the other end to the speaker.
1. Open each terminal.
2. Insert the end of the speaker signal cable as shown (be
sure to remove the insulation at the end of each wire
first).
3. Close the terminals to clamp the speaker signal cables
firmly in place.
4. Connect the (–) and (+) terminals on the rear panel to
the (–) and (+) terminals marked on the speakers.
CAUTION:
When connecting speakers, use
speakers with the SAME
IMPEDANCE indicated by the
speaker terminals.

Notes:
•
When you connect rear

rear speakers.
•
You can register the center
speaker size after you finish
its connection. If you register
it, you do not have to set the
center speaker mode while
setting the surround mode. (If
you do not use a center
speaker, register that
information.) See page 13.

About the speaker impedance
The required speaker impedance of the front speakers differs depending on whether or
not a center and/or rear speakers are connected at the same time. Since there are four
possible speaker connections with the receiver, check which one fits your case and use
the speaker with the impedance described below.
CASE 1 When you connect only front speakers
English
CAUTION:
When connecting speakers, use
speakers with the SAME
IMPEDANCE indicated by the
speaker terminals.

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.
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables for the TV, VCR, and 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 receiver to accept signals from the remote
control.
Notes:
The preset setting such as preset
channel and sound adjustment
may be erased in the following
cases:
• When you press POWER to
set it in the
• 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
