The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

6. Power Sources –

This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the product. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company.

CAUTION

with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one

– Polarization –

This product may be equipped

blade wider than the other). This plug will  t into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

8. Power Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

9. Lightning – For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

10. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of  re or electric shock.

11. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a  re or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

12. Servicing – Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to quali ed service personnel.

13. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

operating instructions.

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance

– this indicates a need for service.

g) If an abnormal smell or smoke is detected.

Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are required, be

14.

sure the service technician has used replacement parts speci ed by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in  re, electric shock, or other hazards.

15. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

16. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – This product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

17. Heat – This product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products that produce heat. Do not place a  aming object, such as a candle or lantern, or near the product.

18. Powe r Lines – An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

19. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

OperationOperation

When the Standby indicator is lit, the power turns ON when you press [ RECEIVER] on the remote control unit. When the power comes ON, press the key you want to operate.

Operating range (Approx.)

∑ Insert batteries.

• Insert two (R03) batteries following the polarity indications.

é Close the cover.

Standby indicator

Infrared ray system

• When pressing more than one remote control key successively,

press the keys securely by leaving an interval of 1 second or more between keys.

Notes:

1. The supplied batteries may have shorter lives than ordinary

batteries due to use during operation checks.

2. When the remote-controllable distance gets shorter than before,

replace both batteries with new ones.

3. Placing the remote sensor in direct sunlight, or in direct light from

a high frequency fluorescent lamp may cause a malfunction.

In such a case, change the location of the system installation to

prevent malfunction.

Setting up the system

Make connections as shown in the following pages.

When connecting the related system components, be sure to refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the components you are connecting.

Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all connections are completed.

Notes:

1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections are imperfect, the sound may not be produced or there will be noise interference.

2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before plugging or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/ unplugging connection cords without disconnecting the power cord can cause malfunctions and may damage the unit.

Analog connections

Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables transfer stereo audio signal in an "analog" form. This means the audio signal corresponds to the actual audio of two channels. These cables usually have 2 plugs at each end, red for the right channel and white for the left channel. These cables are usually packed together with the source unit, or are available at your local electronics retailer.

Microcomputer malfunction

If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears, even though all connections have been made properly, reset the microcomputer by referring to <Troubleshooting>. ﬂ

Speaker placement

Front speaker

Subwoofer

Surround speaker

Front speakers:

Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV. Angle the speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereo effect.

Center speaker:

Place the center speaker on the center between the front left and right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or down-ward so that it is directly facing the listening area.

Surround speakers:

Place the surround speakers as high as possible, either directly to the sides of the listening area or else slightly behind the listening area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing directly towards the listeners.

¤ CAUTION

The power of this equipment will not be completely cut off from the wall outlet when the power switch is turned off. Install the equipment so that the wall outlet is easily accessible and, in case of emergency, immediately unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

¤ CAUTION

Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.

• Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside dimension including projection) equal to or greater than, shown below.

Side panel : 10 cm Back panel : 10 cm

• This unit is using the cooling fan. Do not place the unit onto a bed, a sofa, a carpet, or similar. Sucked-in dust can cause fire.

Subwoofer:

Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in the listening room, near one of the front speakers. (Since the subwoofer has less directivity than other speakers, it can be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low frequency reproduction according to the room layout.)

Note:

• Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers listed above, if you don’t have a center speaker or a subwoofer, you can divide those signals between the available speakers in the speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround reproduction from the speakers you have available.
