Connecting the speakers

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”

Dolby Digital (AC-3)

The Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround format lets you enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby Digital (AC-3) program sources (such as LD or DVD software marked Dolby Digital (AC-3) provides even better sound quality, greater spatial accuracy, and improved dynamic range.

Although a full set of speakers (front left, right, and center, surround left and right, and a subwoofer) is required for true

5.1 channel Dolby Digital (AC-3) surround sound, NV-701 lets you enjoy Dolby Digital (AC-3) (and Dolby Surround) program sources, even if you connect only the front speakers.

* LFE = Low Frequency Effects. This channel delivers separate non-directional bass signals to the subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects. Although only Dolby Digital (AC-3) soundtracks incorporate a separate low frequency channel, connecting a subwoofer will also improve deep bass performance in the other surround modes. The indication "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is being input for this channel.

Dolby 3 Stereo

Dolby 3 Stereo is available for systems that do not have surround speakers. When in the Dolby 3 Stereo mode, the surround information is redirected to the front left and right speakers. This mode is designed for use with Dolby Surround program sources, but can also improve sound field unity for programs that are not Dolby Surround encoded. Dialog positioning and sound image definition, however, may not be as accurate when used with programs that are not Dolby Surround encoded.

VIRTUAL SURROUND

The surround signals of Dolby Digital and DTS have been designed to provide a rich feeling of presence through usually 5 loudspeakers. The Virtual Surround feature incorporated in this unit makes it possible to obtain a simulated surround effect using the left and right front speakers alone.

Important Items

Cleaning the head section

Cotton swab

Capstan

Head

Pinch roller

Tape guides

There are precisely aligned parts around the heads, including the tape guides. When cleaning, pay special

Note

attention so as not to subject them to unnecessary shock.

Cleaning the heads and peripheral components

For maintaining the best condition of the deck and for longer service life, always keep the heads (recording / playback / erase), capstan, and pinch roller clean.

To clean them, perform the following:

1. Open the cassette holder.

2. Using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, clean the head (recording / playback / erase), capstan, and pinch roller carefully.

Demagnetizing the head

When the recording / playback head is magnetized, the sound quality will deteriorate. In such a case, demagnetize the head using a commercially available demagnetizer (head eraser).

Maintenance of the unit

When the front panel or case becomes dirty, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. for these agents may cause discoloration.

Reference

In regard to contact cleaner

Do not use contact cleaners because they could cause a malfunction. Be specially careful not to use contact cleaners containing oil, for they may deform the plastic component.

Caution on condensation

Condensation (of dew) may occur inside the unit when there is a great difference in temperature between this unit and the outside.

This unit may not function properly if condensation occurs. In this case, leave the unit for a few hours with the power left ON, and restart the operation after the condensation has dried up.

Be specially cautious against condensation in the following circumstances:

When this unit is carried from one place to another across a large difference in temperature, when the humidity in the room where this unit is installed increases, etc.

Notes related to transportation and movement

Before transporting or moving this unit, carry out the following procedures.

1 Turn the power ON but do not load a disc. 2 Press the CD (6) key. 3 Wait a few seconds, and ensure that the display is

Handling of discs and tapes

Disc handling precautions

Handling

Hold the discs so that you do not touch the playing surface.

Label side Playing side

Sticker

Sticky paste

Do not attach paper or tape to either the playing side or the label side of the discs.

Cleaning

If fingerprints or foreign matter become attached to the disc, lightly wipe the disc with a soft cotton cloth (or similar) from the center of the disc outwards in a radial manner.

Storage

When a disc is not to be played for a long period of time, remove it from the player and store it in its case.

Never play a cracked or warped disc

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player. Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent. Please do not use discs which are not round because they may cause a malfunction.

Disc accessories

The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protection ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should not be used with this system because they may cause malfunction.

Notes on cassette tape

Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)

After an important recording has been finished, break the safety tab, to prevent the recorded contents from being erased or recorded on accidentally.

Knowledge section

Notes

1.Cassette tapes that are longer than 100 minutes

Since tapes that are longer than 100 minutes are very thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be easily cut. It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this unit to prevent possible damage.

2.Endless tapes

Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of the unit.

Apply tape only to the position where the tab has been removed.

To store cassette tapes

Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to direct sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat. Keep the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.

When there is slack in the tape

In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind the reel hub to remove the slack.
