Factory fitted moulded mains plug

1.The mains plug contains a fuse. For replacement, use only a 13-Amp ASTA-approved (BS1362) fuse.

2.The fuse cover must be refitted when replacing the fuse in the moulded plug.

3.Do not cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or adapter, or consult your dealer.

If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code: Blue : Neutral

Brown : Live

Do not connect those leads to the earth terminal of a threepin plug.

*AC voltage selection (For U.S. military and other selected regions)

The AC voltage selector switch on the rear panel is set to the voltage that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped. Before connecting the power cord to your AC outlet, make sure that the setting position of this switch matches your line voltage. If not, it must be set to your voltage in accordance with the following direction.

AC voltage selector switch

Move switch lever to match your line voltage with a small screwdriver or other pointed tool.

AC 220–240V

AC 110–120V

Note:

Our warranty does not cover damage caused by excessive line voltage due to improper setting of the AC voltage selector switch.

Connecting the speakers

System connection

When connecting the speakers, be sure to keep in mind the following points regarding speaker connection.

÷Never short-circuit the “+” and “–” speaker cords.

÷If the left and right speaker connections or the “+” and “–” polarity are inverted, the sound will be unnatural with unclear positioning of musical instruments, etc. Be sure to connect the transparent cord and striped cord of the speaker cable to the matching terminals on the speakers and the main unit.

÷(NV-701 only) When all connections are complete, be sure to perform the “Setting up for surround sound”

operations to ensure the best possible surround sound from your system.

Surround speaker

Front speakers: Place to the front left and right of the listening position at equal distances from both the unit and the listening position. Front speakers are required for all surround modes.

Center speaker: Place front and center. This speaker stabilizes the sound image and helps recreate more natural sound motion.

Surround (rear) speakers: Place to the direct left and right, or slightly behind, the listening position at even heights approximately 1 meter (3.5 ft.) above the ears of the listeners. These speakers recreate rear sound motion and atmosphere, and are required for surround playback. Subwoofer: Reproduces deep bass and other low frequency sounds.

By performing the “Surround Options” setup operations, this unit makes automatic adjustments to account for the way the speakers have been set up in order to deliver the best possible surround sound. )

÷Make audio connections from the audio output jacks on the VCR to the AUDIO – VIDEO 1 PLAY IN jacks and from the audio input jacks on the VCR to the AUDIO – VIDEO 1 REC OUT jacks using commercially available audio cables.

÷Be sure to match the colors of the plugs with the colors of the jacks for correct right (red) and left (white) channel matching.

÷For greatly improved sound, make connections to the DIGITAL VIDEO 1 COAX. IN jack using a commercially available

coaxial cable if the component you are making connections to features digital audio output from a coaxial jack.

When making connections to an MD or CD recorder:

÷Make audio connections from the audio output jacks on the MD or CD recorder to the AUDIO – VIDEO 1 PLAY IN jacks and from the audio input jacks on the MD or CD recorder to the AUDIO – VIDEO 1 REC OUT jacks using commercially available audio cables.

÷Do not make any connections to the VIDEO 1 PLAY IN and output jacks.

÷If digital connections are made to the DIGITAL VIDEO 1 COAX. IN jack, it is also recommended to make connections to the analog AUDIO – VIDEO 1 PLAY IN jacks.
