DOLBY PRO LOGIC & DOLBY 3 STEREO
The surround system reproduces video software programs carrying the 
mark with similar acoustic effects to movie theaters.
The DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode controls the audio signals of the Front Left/Right, Center and Rear surround channels using the built-in directivity enhancer circuit to reproduce the feeling of sound motions very realistically.
The DOLBY 3 STEREO mode can reproduce the motions of sound even when only the front and center speakers are used, by providing proper acoustic position using the directivity enhancer circuit.
SRS 3D Stereo
The SRS (Sound Retrieval System) is an innovative system simulating a 3-dimensional sound space, which features clearly improved feelings of depth, sound field extension and acoustic image positioning as well as a widened listening area.

÷ Never short-circuit the + and - speaker cords. For the symptom and remedy when a speaker cord is shorted. |
• |
÷If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or if the speaker cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound becomes unnatural with ambiguous acoustic image positioning. Be sure to connect the speakers and speaker cords correctly.
÷Connect a sub woofer if you want to enhance the bass sound. The connected sub-woofer should be a power sub-woofer with a built-in amp.

÷ Never short-circuit the + and - speaker cords. For the symptom and remedy when a speaker cord is shorted:
1 Push lever.
2 Insert cord.
3 Return lever.
•
÷If the left and right speakers are connected inversely or if the speaker cords are connected with reversed polarity, the sound becomes unnatural with ambiguous acoustic image positioning. Be sure to connect the speakers and speaker cords correctly.
÷Connect a sub woofer if you want to enhance the bass sound. The connected sub-woofer should be a power sub-woofer with a built-in amp.
ADAPTOR jacks (KR-797)
When an adaptor-type component such as a graphic equalizer is connected, unplug the shorting pins from the ADAPTOR jacks and connect the component to these jacks.
÷When the ADAPTOR jacks are not used, be sure to plug the shorting pins into jacks. Otherwise, the sound will not be produced.
÷When the ADAPTOR jacks are used, retain the shorting pins and be careful not to lose them.
÷Never plug a shorting pin into other jacks than ADAPTOR jacks. Otherwise, the unit may be damaged.

FM DE-EMPHASIS / CHANNEL SPACE switch
(Except for U.S.A. and Canada)
The FM DE-EMPHASIS / CHANNEL SPACE switch on the rear panel is set to the correct setting that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped. However, if the FM DE-EMPHASIS / CHANNEL SPACE setting is not matched to the area where the unit is to be used; for instance, when you moved from area 1 to area 2 or vice versa, desired reception of AM / FM broadcasts is not expected. In this case, change the FM DEEMPHASIS / CHANNEL SPACE setting in accordance with the area corresponding to the table. The FM DE-EMPHASIS is switched over at the same time.
÷When changing the setting of the FM DE-EMPHASIS / CHANNEL SPACE switch, first disconnect the power cord of the amplifier, then reset the channel space switch, connect the power cord again, and turn the power on.
