Getting Started

Before Installation

Putting Batteries in the Remote Control

General Precautions

•DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.

•DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or cabinet.

•DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.

Locations

•Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from moisture.

•The temperature around the unit must be between 23˚F and 95˚F (–5˚C and 35˚C).

•Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.

Handling the unit

•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.

•Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection, since it is well-shielded against interference.

•When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord, the preset settings such as preset FM/AM (MW/LW) channels and sound adjustments may be erased in a few days.

Checking the Supplied Accessories

Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories. The number in the parentheses indicates the 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.

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 unit.

1.On the back of the remote control, remove the battery cover.

2.Insert batteries. Make sure to match the polarity:

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

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: (+) 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.

AM (MW/LW) antenna connection

Connect the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna supplied to the AM LOOP terminals.

Turn the loop until you have the best reception.

• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to the AM EXT terminal. Keep the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna connected.

FM antenna connection

Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL terminal as temporary measure.

Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.

• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna. Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable (with a standard type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Notes:

• If the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl, remove the vinyl while twisting it as shown to the right.

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.

This could cause poor reception.

Connecting the Speakers

After connecting the front, center, rear speakers and/or a subwoofer, set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the best possible DSP effect. For details, see page 15.

CAUTION:

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

Connecting the front, center, and rear speakers

1	2	3

For each speaker, connect the (+) and (–) terminals on the rear panel to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on the speakers respectively.

1Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of each speaker cord (not supplied).

2Open the terminal, then insert the speaker cord.

3Close the terminal.

Connecting the subwoofer speaker

By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or reproduce the original LFE signals recorded in the digital software.

Powered subwoofer
(example)
INPUT
	SUBWOOFER
HIGH IMPEDANCE	OUT

Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).

•Refer also to the manual supplied for your subwoofer.

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

For digital sounds

•To enjoy the DVD software encoded with

Dolby Digital or DTS Digital Surround, connect the DVD player using one of the

DIGITAL IN terminals (see page 7).

•To enjoy the digital sounds, use both the SCART cable connection and the digital connection (see page 7).

•To enjoy the digital broadcast sounds, connect the STB and/or TV to the

For T-V LINK

•You can also use T-V LINK function if you connect the T-V LINK compatible TV and VCR to this unit with a fully wired SCART cables. For details on T-V LINK, see the manuals supplied with the TV and the VCR.

•Connect SCART cable to EXT-2 terminal on your TV for T-V LINK function.

For recording pictures from STB

When you connect a STB and a VCR directly with a SCART cable, you can enjoy recording the pictures from the STB on VCR tapes without menu screens of STB. For details, see the manuals supplied with the

STB.

DVD Player

For an analogue decoder

To watch or record a scrambled program on

STANDBY ON

your VCR, connect the analogue decoder to your VCR and select the scrambled channel on your VCR.

If there is not an appropriate terminal for the decoder on your VCR, connect the decoder to the TV.

Refer also to the manuals supplied with these equipment.

For TV and video format

When the TV is equipped with the plural

SCART terminals, see the manual supplied with the TV to check the available video signals for each terminal, then connect

SCART cable correctly. For details, see the manuals supplied with the TV.

This unit cannot change the video signals

(S-video or Composite). When the video signal of one video component is different from that of the other (for example, one is S- video, the other is Composite), you may not see the pictures appropriately. In this case, unify the video signals of all the video components into S-video or Composite, or you need to switch the video signal of TV

each time you change the source.

Connecting the Power Cord

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

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
