IMPORTANT: (For UK version)
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 13A, A.S.T.A. or BSI
approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut
off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 13A. If a
plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should
not be greater than 5A.
Note:
The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock
hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
BLUE—“NEUTRAL” (“N”)
BROWN—“LIVE” (“L”)
1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter “N” or coloured BLACK.
2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter “L” or coloured RED.
3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is
marked by the letter “E” or by the safety earth symbol or coloured
green or green-and-yellow.
Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is
clamped over the sheath of the lead — not simply over the two wires.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
When siting the equipment ensure that:
— the ventilation holes are not covered;
— air is allowed to circulate freely around the equipment
— it is on a vibration free-surface;
— it will not be exposed to interference from an external source;
— it will not be exposed to excessive heat, cold, moisture or dust;
— it will not be exposed to direct sunlight;
— it will not be exposed to electrostatic discharges
Never place heavy objects on the equipment.
If a foreign body or water does enter the equipment, contact your
nearest dealer or service centre.
Do not pull out the plug by pulling on the mains lead, hold the plug.
It is advisable when leaving the house, or during a thunderstorm, to
disconnect the equipment from the mains supply.
PRECAUTIONS IN CONNECTION
n Be sure to unplug the power cable from the AC outlet or turn off the
POWER switch before proceeding with any connection.
n Connect one cable at a time observing the “input” and “output”.
This will avoid any cross connection between channels and signal
inputs and outputs.
n Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connection may result in noise.
n Prior to connecting other audio and video equipment to the PS-17,
please read their owner’s manuals.
INSTALLATION
If this unit or another electronic device incorporating a
microcomputer is used at the same time with the tuner or television,
picture disturbance or noise may occur. In such a case, install the
unit according to the following guide points.
n Separate the unit as far as possible from the tuner or television.
n Place the antenna wire for the tuner or TV apart from the power
cable and audio and video connection cables of this unit.
n Since the phenomenon is likely to occur when using an indoor
antenna and/or 300-ohm feeder wire, we recommend using an
outdoor antenna and 75-ohm coaxial cable.

ENGLISH
Dolby Digital lets you enjoy Digital TV, Digital Satellite as well as DVD
and LD software in digital surround, which is the next step above
Dolby Pro Logic.
In comparison with Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital can provide
separate left and right surround channels, for more precise
localization of sounds and a more convincing, realistic ambience.
And, with Dolby Digital, all five main channels can be full range and a
subwoofer can be added to each channel ,if desired. By providing up
to 5.1channels of digital audio independently, Dolby Digital lets you
enjoy better sound quality and more powerful presence than
conventional Dolby Surround.

FRONT PANEL (SEE PAGE VII)
q POWER switch and STANDBY indicator
ENGLISH
You can turn on and off the unit’s power using the front panel power
switch.
However, if you turn the unit off with the front panel switch, the unit
goes completely off rather than to the “standby mode” (Red LED
indicator light glows in the standby mode).
The unit cannot be turned on with the remote control when it is not in
the standby mode. When the red LED is on, the unit can be turned on
via the remote control or by pressing any input selector button on the
front panel.
w 6CH INPUT button
Press this button to select the output of an external multi channel
decoder.
e A/D (Analog/Digital) SELECTOR button
This is used to select between the analog and digital inputs.
Note:
This button is not used for an input source that is not connected to
a digital input in the system setup 2/2.
The selection made with this button is not stored in the unit's
memory. This means that the status which was set in the SYSTEM
SETUP 2/2 will be restored when the input function is switched or
after the unit has been placed in the standby mode.
r BASS and TREBLE tone controls
These controls are used to boost or cut high and low frequencies.
TREBLE: Adjusts the tone of high-frequency sound.
BASS: Adjusts the tone of low-frequency sound.
Notes:
These buttons are disable in Source Direct mode,Pure Direct
mode, SRS mode, Dolby Virtual mode, 6ch input, and Dolby
Headphone mode.
Additionally these are not effective during playback of 96k PCM
audio signal.
!1 INFRARED SENSOR window
This window receives infrared signals from the remote control unit.
!2 VOLUME control knob
Adjusts the overall sound level. Turning the control clockwise
increases the sound level.
The sound level operations can also be controlled from the provided
remote controll unit.
!3 Warm-up meter
With any audio unit, the real sound quality cannot be obtained
immediately after the power is turned on, and warming up is required
to make the unit exhibit its full performance. As time passes after the
power has been turned ON, the temperatures of different parts of the
unit become constant and the electrolytic capacitors become active.
This meter allows to check the warm-up condition of the unit.
The meter needle starts to swing gradually in a little while after the
power is turned ON and reaches about 2/3 of the meter’s full scale in
about 30 minutes. Now the unit has almost been warmed up and can
reproduce music with its original performance.
The meter positions immediately after turning power on and at the
end of warming up and the time taken for warming up are variable
depending on the temperature, ventilation and other conditions of the
listening room where the unit is located.
!4 INPUT SELECTOR knob
When this knob is turned, the input signal is switched in the following
sequence.
PHONO CD TAPE/TUNER CD-R/MD TV
DSS/VCR2 VCR1 LD DVD
This knob can also be used to turn the unit’s power on when it is in the
standby mode.
t SOURCE DIRECT button
When this button is pressed, the tone control circuitry is bypassed as
well as Bass Management.
y PURE DIRECT button
This is used to select the PURE DIRECT mode.
In contrast to the SOURCE-DIRECT mode, the front panel display
circuit is completely shut down, and then the video output circuit is
shut down.
u Surround MODE buttons
(AUTO, 2, SRS, 6.1, STEREO, 5ch STEREO)
Press the desired button to select surround mode.
i NIGHT MODE buttons
This is used to select the NIGHT mode.
Selecting the Night Mode On is effective in Dolby Digital only, and it
compresses the dynamic range.
This softens loud passages such as sudden explosions, to help
prevent disturbing others late at night.
o DOLBY HEADPHONE MODE buttons
This is used to select the operation mode of the Dolby Headphone
when using headphones for listening.
!0 PHONES jack for stereo headphones
Conventional dynamic headphones can be plugged in here.
