Getting Started

This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the power supply.

English

Before Installation

Connecting the FM and AM Antennas

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 Loop Antenna (1)

• FM Antenna (1)

If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

FM Antenna Connections

ANTENNA

LOOP

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 should be connected to the FM 75Ω COAXIAL terminal.

Note:

If reception is poor, connect the outside antenna. Before attaching a 75 to an outside antenna), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Turn the loop until you have the best reception.

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 vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)

1 Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of

each speaker signal cable.

2 Open the terminal and then insert the speaker

signal cable.

3 Close the terminal.

Connecting the front speakers

You can connect two pairs of front speakers (one pair to the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 terminals, and another pair to the FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals).

FRONT SPEAKERS 1

Left speaker

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.

IMPORT ANT:

After connecting the speakers listed above, set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the best possible surround effect. For details, see page 11.

For each speaker (except for a subwoofer), connect the (–) and (+) terminals on the rear panel to the (–) and (+) terminals marked on the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer, see page 5.

CAUTION:

Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

Note:

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.

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

• See also page 25 for detailed information about the connection and the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system.

• See also page 26 for detailed information about the connection and the TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system.

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 DVD player and TV 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 quality.

DVD player

• When you connect the DVD player with stereo output jacks:

English

IMPORT ANT:

This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video input terminals for the DVD player connection. 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 terminal are output only through the composite video output terminals, while the ones from the S-video input terminal are output only through the S-video output terminal.

Therefore, if your DVD player is connected to the receiver only through the S-video input terminal, you cannot record the picture from the DVD player on the VCR. In addition, if the TV and the DVD player are connected to the receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot view the playback picture from the DVD player on the TV.

Connecting the Power Cord

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

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

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.

Notes:

The preset settings such as preset channel and sound adjustment may be erased in a few days in the following cases: – 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 (–).

R6P (SUM-3)/AA (15F)

3. Replace the cover.

If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace the batteries. Use two R6P (SUM-3)/AA (15F) 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.

Basic Operations

Note:

You cannot shut off the sound through the other speakers using the SPEAKERS 1 and 2 buttons.

CAUTION:

Always set the volume to the minimum before starting any source. If the volume is set at its high level, the sudden blast of sound energy can permanently damage your hearing and/or ruin your speakers.

• Turning MASTER VOLUME or pressing VOLUME +/– also restores the sound.

Recording a Source

You can record any source playing through the receiver to a cassette deck (or an MD recorder) connected to the TAPE/MD jacks and the VCR connected to the VCR jacks at the same time.

While recording, you can listen to the selected sound source at whatever sound level you like, without affecting the sound levels of the recording.

Note:

The output volume level, tone adjustment (see page 10), bass boost (see page 10) and DSP modes (see page 17) cannot affect the recording.

Note:

When only one set of the speakers is connected to either the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 or 2 terminals, do not activate both pairs of the speakers. If you do, no sound comes out of the front speakers.

IMPORTANT:

Before recording, turn off the DVD MULTI playback mode.
