The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
Important Safeguards
1. Read Instructions – All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Cleaning – Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet before cleaning. The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
6. Attachments– Do not use attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. Water and Moisture –Do not use the appliance near water –for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8. Accessories – Do not place the appliance on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The appliance may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliance. Any mounting of the appliance
should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recom-
mended by the manufacturer. 9. An appliance and cart combina-
tion should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination S3125A
to overturn.
10.Ventilation – Slots and openings
in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an opening behind the appliance.
11.Power Sources – The appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
12.Grounding or Polarization – The appliance may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit 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.
2
13.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 appliance.
14.Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the appliance, 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 an- tenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.
15.Lightning – For added protection for the appliance 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 appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.
16.Power 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.
17.Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18.Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.
19.Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
20.Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the appliance form 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 appliance,
C.If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D.If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to its normal operation,
E.If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
F.When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.
21.Replacement Parts–When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
22.Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or repairs to the appliance, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the appliance is in proper operation condition.
23.Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
24.Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Features
■ AMPLIFIER FEATURES
130 WATTS MINIMUM OF CONTINUOUS RMS POWER to each of the 7channels into 8 Ω , from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with no more than 0.05%THD (FTC rating)–clean high-current amplification provides incredible dynamic range for seamless reproduction of even the most demanding cinema soundtracks, as well as animatedly rich music at any volume level.
7.1-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER–the first receiver to achieve this feat in one chassis–the TX-DS989 provides unparalleled power and clarity to all 7.1-channels for a room-filling sound experience seconds to none.
LUCASFILM THX® ULTRA CERTIFIED–in addition to the amazing ability to drive 7.1 channels, the TX-DS989 also boasts the distinction of carrying the exclusive THX Ultra badge of approval–assurance that this receiver passed (and often exceeds) THX's numerous requirements in such areas as frequency response, distortion, power output, and stability.
192kHz/24-BIT D/A CONVERTERS FOR ALL CHANNELS– the first receiver in the industry to utilize these powerful converters for all seven channels–the TX-DS989's DACs not only boast a dynamic range of 120dB, they also process more information faster and are virtually resistant to clock jitter, to ensure the best performance possible from DVD-Audio and other upcoming formats, while also producing cleaner, clearer sound form DVDs and CDs.
WIDE RANGE AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY(WRAT)
WRAT virtually eliminates the adverse effects of counterelectromotive force by: 1) applying an uncommonly low amount of NFB (negative feed-back), 2) using carefully selected, high-tolerance, wide range parts in all critical sections, and 3) incorporating innovative circuit topology based upon decades of high-end amplifier-design experience–the final result is a flat response beyond 100kHz, making the TX-DS989 ideal for such high-resolution formats as DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD, and other upcoming digital formats.
■ FLEXBILITY FEATURES
FUTURE-PROOF INTERFACE ARCHITECTURE–a versatile RS232 port allows the TX-DS989's powerful 4Mbit Flash Memory to be directly computer accessed for installing such future upgrades as new DSP algorithms, new surround formats/parameters, and other types of processing updates.
ZONE 2 MULTIROOM/MULTISOURCE CAPABILITY–a full set of line outs for audio, composite video, and S-video, allows for set-up of an additional system in another room–connect an optional infrared eye in Zone 2, and complete second-room control can be achieved with such A/V distribution control systems as Xantech® , Niles® , to name but a few.

THX Ultra
Before any home theatre component can be THX Ultra certified, it must pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests. Only then can a product feature the THX Ultra logo, which is your guarantee that the Home Theatre products you purchase will give you superb performance for many years to come. THX Ultra requirements define hundreds of parameters, including power amplifier performance, and pre-amplifier performance and operation for both digital and analog domains. THX Ultra receivers also features proprietary THX technologies (e.g. THX Mode, see page 38) which accurately translate film soundtracks for home theater playback.

Memory preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A built-in memory power backup system preserves the contents of the memory during power failures and even when the POWER switch is set to off. The POWER switch must be set to on in order to charge the backup system.
The memory preservation period after the unit has been turned off varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On the average, memory contents are protected over a period of a few weeks after the last time the unit has been turned off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly humid climate.
Installing the remote controller batteries
1.Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing the tab and sliding the cover.
2.Insert two AA (R6 or UM-3) batteries into the battery compartment. Carefully follow the polarity diagram (positive (+) and negative (–) symbols) inside the battery compartment.
3.After batteries are installed and seated correctly, replace the compartment cover.
Notes:
•Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of batteries.
•To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote controller is not to be used for a long time.
•Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from corrosion. If the remote controller does not operate smoothly, replace both the batteries at the same time.
•The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this will vary depending on usage.
Using the remote controller
Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor. The STANDBY indicator lights up when the unit receives a signal from the remote controller.
Notes:
•Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or inverted fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation of the remote controller.
•Using another remote controller of the same type in the same room or using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays may cause operational interference.
•Do not put objects on the remote controller. The buttons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake and drain the batteries.
•Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass. Placing the unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote controller operation.
•If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the remote control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.

POWER
After plugging in the power cord into the rear panel and wall outlet, pressing this button connects the TX-DS989 to the AC mains and turns it on.
•Before turning on the power, make sure all cables are properly connected.
•Turning on the TX-DS989 may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the TX-DS989 into a different electrical circuit.
STANDBY/ON
Pressing this button while the main power is turned on the STANDBY indicator lights up and the front display turns off. Pressing it again returns it to the standby state. This state turns off the display, disables control functions, and turns off all outputs to the main zone (those for the remote zone remain available).
STANDBY indicator
Digital format:
The current input source is set for a digital format of “Auto.”
Bass level:
The current bass level is +2.
Treble level:
The current treble level is -2.
Input Source Buttons (DVD, VIDEO 1–5, TAPE 1–2, AM, FM, PHONO, and CD)
These buttons are used to select the input source for the main zone. When an input source is selected, the indicator will light in orange. To select the input source for the remote zone (Zone 2) or recording out (Rec Out), first press the Zone 2 or Rec Out button, and then the desired input source button.
Lower buttons in the front door
MASTER VOLUME |
Caution: |
The MASTER VOLUME knob is used to control the volume for the main zone. The volume for the remote zone (Zone 2) is independent.
OPEN/CLOSE
Press this button to open and close the front door that covers the lower buttons.
DISPLAY
The DISPLAY button is used to display information about the current input source signal. Each time you press the display button, the screen changes to show you different information concerning the input signal. The screen changes as follows:
Program format → Sampling frequency → Digital input → Digital format → Bass level → Treble level.
If the input source signal does not have any information for a particular screen, then that screen will be skipped.
•Displaying the data of the current input source
Each display is explained below.

Sampling frequency:
Sampling frequency
Digital input:
The current input source is set for digital input at OPT1.
The front door of the receiver is motorized. Use the open/close button to open or close the door. Manually opening or closing the door, or moving the receiver while holding the door, will cause the door to malfunction or break.
Rec Out
Press the Rec Out button to output to a recording component for recording purposes. After pressing the Rec Out button, press one of the input source selector buttons within 8 seconds to select the component to record to. When one is selected, the indicator above that button will light in red. To record from the same input source that you are using (that is selected for the main zone), press the Rec Out button twice in succession.
Note:
The Rec Out and Zone 2 buttons use the same circuit and therefore cannot be used at the same time.
When Rec Out is selected, nothing is output from Zone 2.
Zone 2
The TX-DS989 includes a second signal path separate from the main one that can be used for a remote zone (Zone 2) or for making recordings. By connecting an additional amplifier or other video equipment to the Zone 2 outputs, you can output to a separate room an input source that is different from that being used in the main room. This allows you to watch one program in one room while somebody else is watching a different program in another.
Press the Zone 2 button to enable output to the ZONE 2 outputs. After pressing the Zone 2 button, press one of the input source selector buttons within 8 seconds to select the input source for the remote zone. When one is selected, the indicator above that button will light in green. To use the same input source for the both the main and remote zones, press the Zone 2 button twice in succession.
Note: |
|
The Rec Out and Zone 2 buttons use the same circuit and therefore |
|
cannot be used at the same time. |
|
When Zone 2 is selected, the currently selected input source is |
9 |
output from the recording terminal. |
Front panel facilities
Off
When not using either Rec Out or Zone 2, press that button and then press the Off button to turn off the signal. If the Rec Out or Zone 2 signal is turned on and the connected component is not turned on, the electric signal will still be sent through the circuitry and the excess load may cause deterioration of the audio signal.
DSP 
Press these buttons to scroll through the listening modes and set a new one for the input source you are currently listening to. For each different input signal, different listening modes are possible. See page 38 for a detailed explanation of the different listening modes.
Dimmer
Press to set the brightness of the front display. There are 4 settings available: normal, dark, very dark, and off.
•The dimmer control for the front display can be performed at the remote controller.
Tuning 
Use these buttons to change the tuner frequency. The tuner frequency is displayed in the front display and it can be changed in 50 kHz increments for FM and 10 kHz increments for AM. When a station is tuned into, “> <” or “
” will appear in the front display.
When FM is selected, you can hold down one of the tuning buttons and then release it to activate the auto-search feature. It will search for a station in the direction of the button you pressed and stop when it tunes into one.
Preset 
When AM or FM is selected as the input source, press one of these buttons to jump to a radio station that you preset using the MEMORY button. Pressing the right button moves from the most recently preset station to older ones, and pressing the left button moves in the reverse order.
FM Mode
If you are listening to an FM radio station in stereo and the sound cuts out or there is a great deal of noise, then press this button. The “MONO” display will appear and the output will change to mono. Though you will not hear the audio in stereo, this may stop the sound from cutting out and reduce excess noise.
Memory
This button only operates when FM or AM is selected as the input source. This button allows you to preset frequencies for stations when using the FM/AM tuner. You can preset up to 40 stations (or frequencies) to be used with the PRESET buttons.

ANTENNA
These jacks are for connecting the FM indoor antenna and AM loop antenna that are supplied with the TX-DS989.
AMP IN
These jacks are for connecting a graphic equalizer for further control of the audio output.
•When connecting a graphic equalizer, remove the attached jumper plugs and store them carefully so as not to lose them.
•Only remove the jumper plugs when required. After you finish using an AMP IN jack, replace the jumper plug.
PRE OUT
These jacks are for connecting auxiliary power amplifiers.
•When connecting auxiliary power amplifiers, remove the attached jumper plugs and store them carefully so as not to lose them.
•Only remove the jumper plugs when required. After you finish using a PRE OUT jack, replace the jumper plug.
MONITOR OUT
There are 2 monitor outputs and each one includes both composite video and S-video configurations. When connecting two video monitors or televisions, be aware that the OSD interface can only be used with MONITOR OUT 1 (OSD will not be displayed on the video monitor connected to MONITOR OUT 2).
DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT
(coaxial, optical, and input-only AC-3RF)
These are the digital audio inputs and outputs. There are 5 digital inputs with coaxial jacks, 3 with optical jacks, and 1 AC-3RF input. The inputs accept digital audio signals from a compact disc, LD, DVD, or other digital source component. For digital output, there is 1 coaxial output and 1 optical output. The digital outputs can be connected to MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT decks, or other similar components.
COAXIAL Coaxial cable
AC-3RF Coaxial cable
OPTICAL Optical fiber cable
Optical digital input terminal
An optical digital input terminal is equipped with a protection cap. When connecting, remove this cap. When not using, put the cap back on the terminal.
•When using the digital inputs and outputs, make sure to also connect the analog connections whenever possible.
•When using one of the optical input or output jacks, remove the protective cap and keep it safely. When the jack is not used, replace the protective cap.
•When using an optical input or output jack, always use an optical fiber cable.
COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT/OUTPUT
If your DVD player or other device has component video connectors, be sure to connect them to these component video connectors on the TX-DS989. The TX-DS989 has three component video input connectors to obtain the color information (Y, PB, PR) directly from the recorded DVD signal or other video component and one component video output connector to output it directly into the matrix decoder of the display device. By sending the pure DVD component video signal directly, the DVD signal forgoes the extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly increased image quality, with incredibly lifelike colors and crisp detail.
Y PB PR RCA type
AC OUTLETS
The TX-DS989 is supplied with two AC mains outlets for connecting the power cords from other devices so that their power is supplied through the TX-DS989. By doing this, you can use the STANDBY/ON button on the TX-DS989 to turn on and off the connected devices as well.

If the DVD player or MPEG decoder that you are connecting to is provided with DB-25-to-DB-25 cable, then connect that directly to the TX-DS989 and do not use the cable supplied with the TX-DS989. When connecting the cable, be sure to secure the locking screws on the DB-25 connectors.
RS 232
The RS 232 port is to be used in conjunction with an external controller to control the operation of the TX-DS989 by using an external device. The RS 232 port may also be used in the future to update the operating software of the TX-DS989 so that it will be able to support new digital audio formats and the like as they are introduced.
GND
Use this GND terminal for connecting the ground (or earth) wire if a turntable is connected. Refer to “Connecting a turntable” on page 18.
AUDIO IN/OUT
These are the analog audio inputs and outputs. There are 10 audio inputs (6 of which are linked to video inputs) and 4 audio outputs (2 of which are linked to video outputs). The audio jacks are nominally labeled for cassette tape decks, compact disc players, turntables, and DVD players. To the audio jacks for VIDEO 1 to 5, connect the audio output from VCRs, LD players, and other video components. The audio inputs and outputs require RCA-type connectors.
RCA type
•When using the PHONO jacks, remove the caps that cover then and store them safely where they will not be lost. Whenever the PHONO jacks are not in use, replace the caps on them.
•When connecting a VCR or other video component, make sure you connect the audio and video leads together (i.e., both to VIDEO 3).
•With LD players that have an AC-3RF terminal, connect the audio source to the audio inputs of VIDEO 4 because only it supports the AC-3RF settings during digital setup.
•The TX-DS989 is designed for use with turntables that use moving magnet cartridges.

ZONE 2
These are the audio and video output jacks for the remote zone (Zone 2). Use these outputs to connect the remote zone. For the connection procedure, refer to “Setting up the remote zone” on page 24. These outputs are activated by the Zone 2 button on the front panel.
SPEAKERS
Seven terminals are provided for the front left, front right, front center, surround left, surround right, surround back left, and surround back right speakers. In addition to being able to reproduce the conventional 5.1-channel source input, outputs for surround back left and surround back right speakers have been added for support of the state-of-the-art THX Surround EX.
Speaker outputs are compatible with banana plug connectors .
z (RI)
By connecting the z connector as shown in the diagram below, you can use the RC-390M remote controller to operate Onkyo cassette tape decks and compact disc players that also have Onkyo’s z connectors. Simply connect a remote control cable from this connector to the z connector of the cassette tape deck or compact disc player. An z remote control cable with a 3.5- mm (1/8-inch) miniature two-conductor plug comes with every cassette tape deck and compact disc player that has an z connector.
•For remote control operation, the audio connection cables must also be connected.
•The RC-390M remote controller does not support turntables.
•If the connected component has two RI connectors, you can use either one to connect to the TX-DS989. The other one can be used to daisy chain with another component.
•For Onkyo DVD or MD players, you can control them by simply pointing the RC-390M controller directly at the component.
IR IN MAIN
If the TX-DS989 is located inside a rack or cabinet that will not allow infrared beams to reach the IR sensor, you will need to connect a remote sensor* to this input to be able to use the remote controller. Then install the remote sensor in an unblocked location where you can easily point the remote controller.
* An optional remote sensor kit is required.
IR IN ZONE 2
This jack allows you to connect a multiroom system kit so that you can use the remote controller while you are in the remote zone (Zone 2), which may be far separated from the TX-DS989.
*To be able to use the remote controller in the remote zone (Zone 2), you must connect one of the following (sold separately):
•Onkyo’s Multi-Room System Kit (IR Remote Controller Extension System).
•A multiroom A/V distribution and control system from Niles® , Xantech® , or the like

Standard connections
Here is explanation of how to connect the main components to the TX-DS989 in the standard manner. There are many ways that any one component can be connected, and it is up to you to decide which method best fits your situation. The directions given here are only one option and should only be thought of as such. It is best to fully understand the nature of each connector and terminal as well as each of your components and their features to ascertain which method of connection is best.
•Be sure to always refer to the instruction manual that came with the component that you are connecting.
•Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have been made.
•For input jacks, red connectors (marked R) are used for the right channel, white connectors (marked L) are used for the left channel, and yellow connectors (marked V) are used for video connection.
•Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper connections can result in noise, poor performance, or damage to the equipment.
•Do not bind audio connection cables with power cords and speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the sound quality.
For a detailed explanation of how to connect the devices given below, refer to the pages listed.

Example of how to connect your equipment
Connecting your audio components
Below is an example of how you can connect your audio components to the TX-DS989. Refer to the diagram on pages 16 and 17 for the following connection examples.
1. Connecting a turntable
Using an RCA-type audio connection cable, connect the output terminal on the turntable to the PHONO IN jacks on the TXDS989. Make sure that you properly connect the left channel to the L jack and the right channel to the R jack.
Note:
The TX-DS989 is designed for use with moving magnet cartridges. For proper operation, connect a ground (or earth) wire to the GND terminal.

Connecting speakers
Before connecting the speakers, place them correctly by consulting the instruction manuals that came with them.
For surround playback, the configuration and placement of your speakers are very important.
For THX surround EX playback, we recommend that you use a THX speaker system that is certified by Lucasfilm Ltd.
Ideal speaker configuration
•Front right and left speakers
•Center speaker
Produces a rich sound image by serving as a sound source for the front right and left speakers and enhancing the sonic movement.
•Surround right and left speakers
Adds three-dimensional sonic movement and produces environmental sound associated with the background and effect sound for each scene.
•Surround back right and left speakers
Required for enjoying THX Surround EX audio.
•Subwoofer
Produces powerful and heavy bass.
Minimum speaker configuration for surround sound playback
•Front right and left speakers
•Surround right and left speakers
The sound recorded for the center speaker and the subwoofer will be properly distributed to the front right and left speakers and the surround right and left speakers for optimized surround playback.
Speaker placement
Ideal speaker placement varies depending on the size of your room and the wall coverings. Here, only typical example of speaker placement and recommendations are shown.
Important points regarding speaker placement
Front left and right speakers and center speaker
•Place these three speakers at the same height from the floor.
•Place each speaker so that sound is aimed at the location of the listener’s ears when at the listening position.
Surround left and right speakers
•Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than that of the listener’s ears.
Surround back left and right speakers
•These speakers are required for enjoying THX Surround EX audio.
•Place these speakers behind the listener so that the angle between each speaker and the listener is approximately 30 degrees.
•Place these speakers so that their height is 1 meter higher than that of the listener’s ears.

Connecting the included antennas
Connecting the FM indoor antenna:
The FM indoor antenna is for indoor use only. During use, extend the antenna and move it in various directions until the clearest signal is received. Fix it with push pins or similar implements in the position that will cause the least amount of distortion.
If the reception is not very clear with the attached FM indoor antenna, the use of an outdoor antenna is recommended.
Connecting the AM loop antenna:
The AM loop antenna is for indoor use only. Set it in the direction and position where you receive the clearest sound. Put it as far away as possible from the TX-DS989, televisions, speaker cables, and power cords.
When reception is not satisfactory with the attached AM loop antenna alone, connection of an outdoor antenna is recommended.

Connecting an FM outdoor antenna
Please make sure that you follow the considerations:
•Keep the antenna away from noise sources (neon signs, busy roads, etc.).
•It is dangerous to put the antenna 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 14 of the “Important Safeguards” on page 2 when you install the outdoor antenna.
Directional linkage
Do not use the same antenna 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, use a directional linkage type splitter.
