Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of the unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If v entilation is blocked, the unit may overheat and malfunction.

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or heating units as the

unit's internal temperature may rise and shorten the life of the pickup.

• Avoid damp and dusty places and places directly affected by

vibrations from the speakers. In particular, avoid placing the unit on or above one of the speakers.

• Be sure the unit is placed in a horizontal position. Never place it

on its side or on a slanted surface as it may malfunction.

• When you place the unit near a TV, radio, or VCR, the playbac k

picture may become poor and the sound may be distorted. In this case, place the unit away from the TV, radio, or VCR.

9. Care

From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and wipe off the dirt. Following this , dry immediately with a clean cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

10. Notes on Handling

• When shipping the unit, use the original shipping car ton and packing materials. F or maximum protection, repac k the unit as it was originally packed at the factory.

• Do not use volatile liquids, such as insect spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long time. They will leave marks on the finish.

• The top and rear panels of the unit may become warm after a long period of use. This is not a malfunction.

• If you do not use the unit for a long period, the unit may not function properly in the future. Tur n on and use the unit occasionally.

11. To Obtain a Clear Picture

The unit is a high technology, precision device. If the optical pickup lens and disc drive parts are dirty or worn down, the picture quality becomes poor. To obtain a clear picture, we recommend regular inspection and maintenance (cleaning or parts replacement) every 1,000 hours of use depending on the operating environment. For details, contact your nearest dealer.

12. Notes on Moisture Condensation

Moisture condensation damages the unit. Please read the following carefully.

• What is moisture condensation?

Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour a cold drink into a glass on a warm day. Drops of water form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture may condense on the optical pick-up lens inside the unit, one of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.

• Moisture condensation occurs in the following cases.

– When you bring the unit directly from a cold place to a warm

place.

– When you use the unit in a room where you just turned on the

heater, or a place where the cold wind from the air conditioner directly hits the unit.

– In summer, when you use the unit in a hot and humid place

just after you move the unit from an air conditioned room.

– When you use the unit in a humid place.

• Do not use the unit when moisture condensation may occur.

If you use the unit in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove the disc, connect the po w er cord (mains lead) of the unit to the wall outlet (the mains), turn on the unit, and leave it for tw o or three hours . After a few hours , the unit will have warmed up and evaporated any moisture. Keep the unit connected to the wall outlet (the mains) and moisture condensation will seldom occur.

Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The illustration below shows an example of a layout for standard speaker placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in order to experience the best of Surround sound.

For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed. If a center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the unused channel is distributed to the connected speakers in order to reproduce the best Surround sound possible.

Speaker

The center speaker reproduces a richer sound image by enhancing the perception of the sound's source and movement.

The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated listener and be placed at ear level.

Surround

The surround speakers reproduce the feel of a moving sound while creating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.

Surround

Speaker

Place the left and right surround speakers 1 meter (3 feet) above the listener's ear level and facing toward the sides of the room, making sure that the listener is within the speakers' dispersion angle.

Subwoofer

Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for powerful bass sounds. The placement of the subwoofer does not affect the final quality of the sound image much, therefore, you can install it wherever it is

convenient. Refer to the speakers’ instruction manuals for details.

Adjusting the position of the FM indoor antenna (aerial)

While listening to an FM program (see page 28), extend the antenna (aerial) and move it in various directions until the clearest signal is received, then secure the antenna (aerial) with push pins in the position with the least distortion.

Adjusting the position of the AM indoor antenna (aerial)

While listening to an AM program (see page 28), set the antenna (aerial) in the direction and position where you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far away as possible from the unit, TVs, speaker cables, and power cords (mains leads).

Connecting an AM Outdoor Antenna (Aerial)

An outdoor antenna (aerial) will be more effective if it is stretched horizontally above a window or outside. Leave the supplied AM indoor antenna (aerial) connected.

Note

To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 19 of the "Important Safeguards" on page 2 when you install an outdoor antenna (aerial).

Note

Insert one end of the AM antenna (aerial) cord to either of the AM antenna (aerial) connectors and the other end to the other connector. There is no difference between one end of the AM antenna (aerial) cord and the other end unlike the speaker cords which have positive and negative poles.

Notes

• Install the antenna (aerial) well away from tall buildings and in an area where FM stations can directly be received.

• Keep the antenna (aerial) away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.).

• It is dangerous to put the antenna (aerial) close to power lines. Keep it well away from power lines, transformers, etc.

• To avoid the risk of lightning and electrical shock, grounding is necessary. Follow item 19 of the "Important Safeguards" on page 2 when you install

the outdoor antenna (aerial).

Directional Iinkage

Do not use the same antenna (aerial) for both FM and TV (or VCR) reception since the FM and TV (or VCR) signals can interfere with each other. If you must use a common FM/TV (or VCR) antenna (aerial), use a directional linkage type splitter.
