Getting Started

Before Installation

General Precautions

• 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.

Locations

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

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

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

Handling the receiver

• 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 channels and sound
adjustments may be erased in a few days.

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.

2

1

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

(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).

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 Loop Antenna (1)

• FM Antenna (1)

If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

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.

Notes:

• If the AM 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.

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.

Getting Started

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 12.

CAUTION:

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

Basic adjustment auto memory

This receiver memorizes sound settings for each source ....

• when you turn on the power,

• when you change the source, and

• when you change the analog/digital input mode (see page 11).
When you change the source, the memorized settings for the

newly selected source are automatically recalled.
The following can be stored for each source:

• Analog/digital input mode (see page 11)

• Input attenuator mode (see page 17)

• Balance (see page 17)

• Bass boost (see page 18)

• Tone adjustment (see page 19)

• Subwoofer output level (see page 19)

• Surround mode settings (see pages 25, 29)
Theater Surround settings (see pages 27, 30)
DAP mode settings (see pages 28, 31)

Note:

If the source is FM or AM, you can assign a different setting for
each band.

For recording

You can record sounds of any source playing through the receiver
to the VCR connected to the VCR jacks.

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:

Sound adjustments (see page 17) and DSP modes (see page 22)
cannot affect the recording.
