CC (Compensative Compression) converter
--ONLY for RX-8030VBK
CC Converter eliminates jitler anti ripples, achieving a drastic
reduction in digital distortion by processing the digital music data
in 24 bit_quantization and by expanding the sampling frequency
to 128 kHz (for fs 32 kHz signals)/176.4 kHz (for fs 44.1 kHz
signals)/192 kHz (for fs 48 kHz signals). By using the CC
Converler, you can obtain a natural sound field from any source.
(See page 21 fur details.)
K2 technology--ONLY for RX-8030VBK
K2 technology has been designed to enable natural audio
reproduction, achieving a drastic reduction in digital distortion
and creating original sound ambience with high precision.

General Precautions
• Be sure your hands are dry.
• Turn the power off to all components.
• Real 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°C and
35°C (23°F and 95°F ).
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver, Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.

• Suppliedbatteriesarefortheinitialsetup. Replaceforcontinued
use,
• After replacing the batteries, set the manufacturers'codes again
(see pages from 47 to 49),
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
• Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) 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.
FM Antenna Connections
Check Io be sure you have all of the following items, which are
supplied with the receiver.
The number in the parentheses indicates quanthy of the pieces
supplied.
• Remote Control (1)
• Batteries (2)
• AM LoopAntenna (1)
• FM Antenna (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
Before using the remote control, insert the two supplied baneries
first.

2. Insert the batteries.
• Make sure to match thepolarity: (+) to (+) and (-) to (-).
3. Replace the cover.

Note:
If reception is poor, connect the outdoor FM antenna (not supplied).
Before attaching a 75 £2coaxial cable with a connector (the kind with
a round wire going to an outdoor antenna), disconnect the supplied
FM antenna.
AM Antenna Connections
Turn the loop until you have the
best reception.
Basic connecting procedure
1 Twist and remove the insulation at
the end of each speaker signal cable
(not supplied).
2 Open the speaker terminal.
Snap the tabs on the loop into the slols
of 1he base to assemble the AM loop.

Notes:
• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove
the vinyl by twisting it as illustrated,
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This
could cause poor reception,
• ff reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire
(not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal (Keep the AM loop antenna
connected,)
You can connect the following speakers:
• Two pairs of front speakers to produce normal s_ereo sound.
• One pair of surround speakers to enjoy the sun'ound effect.
• One sun'ound back speaker or one pair of surround back speakers
to enjoy to produce more effective surround effect.
• One ccnler speaker to emphasize human voices.
• One subwoofer to enhance the bass.

4 Close the speaker terminal.
For each speaker (excepl for a subwoofer), connect the (+) and
(-) lerminals on the rear panel to the (+) and (-) terminals
marked on the speakers.

Ideal speaker layout varies depending on 1he conditions of your
lislening room. The diagram below is a recommended typical
example.

CAUTION:
Use only the speakers of the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by
the speaker terminals.
• When connecting to both of the FRONT SPEAKERS _1 and _2_
terminals, use speakers with an impedance of 16 _ to 32 _.
• When connecting to either the FRONT SPEAKERS _1 or _z_
terminals, use speakers with an impedance of 8 _ to 16 _.

Placing speakers
Front speakers and center speaker
• Place these speakers (position of the mid-range speaker units) al the same
height from the floor.
• Point these speakers aiming al the listener's ears.
Surround and surround back speakers
• Place these speakers at a position which is 1 meter higher than the lislener's
ears.
• Point these speakers down aiming al the lislener's ears.
Subwoofer
• You can place it wherever you like since bass sound is non-directional.
Normally place it in front of you.
Note:
Ideal speaker layout requires that all speakers be placed at the same distance

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