• Supplied batteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued use.

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.

When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the front panel.

You can place a subwoofer wherever you like since bass sound is non-directional. Normally place it in front of you.

Connecting video components

Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all connections are completed.

This receiver is equipped with the following video terminals— composite video, S-video, and component video terminals.

• If your video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or component video (Y, PB, PR) jacks, connect them using an Svideo cable (not supplied) or component video cable (not supplied). By using these terminals, you can get better picture quality in the order:

Component > S-video > Composite

IMPORTANT:

The video signals from one type of these input jacks are transmitted only through the video output jacks of the same type. Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing

video component are connected to the receiver through the video terminals 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 terminals of different type, you cannot view the playback picture on the TV.

7 Connecting a DVD recorder or DVD player

Turn off all components before making connections.

• When you connect other components, refer also to their manuals.

DO NOT use a TV through a VCR or a TV with a built-in VCR; otherwise, the picture may be distorted.
