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

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.

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

Getting Started

English

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 surround effect. For details, see page 24.

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 12.

Connecting the front speakers

Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of each speaker signal cable first, and then, connect the front speakers to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals by using the cables. 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).

CAUTION:

When connecting speakers, use speakers with the same SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the speaker terminals.

Note:

The required speaker impedance of the front speakers does differ depending on whether both the FRONT SPEAKERS 1 and FRONT SPEAKERS 2 terminals are used or only one of them is used.

Use front speakers with 4 — 16 ohm impedance.

Connecting Audio/Video Components

English

You can connect the following audio/video components to this receiver using cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied). Refer also to the manuals supplied with your components. If you want to connect a component not listed in the table below, refer to the manual supplied with it.

Audio Components Video Components

• Turntable • DVD (Digital Video Disc) player

• CD player • TV

• Cassette deck • DBS (Direct Broadcasting Satellite) tuner (or MD recorder) • VCR

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.

Turntable

To audio output

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.

If an earth cable is provided for your turntable, connect the cable to the screw marked GND on the rear panel.

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

• See also page 59 for detailed information about the connection and the COMPU LINK-3 remote control system.

• See also page 60 for detailed information about the connection and the TEXT COMPU LINK remote control system.

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 23 for details.

Getting Started

English

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 Svideo cables (not supplied). Connecting these video components through the S-video input/output terminals will give you better picture playback quality.

IMPORTANT:

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 Svideo 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.

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 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

• 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.

– 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.
