• high temperature
• high humidity
® excessive vibration
® uneven surfaces (Place the unit on a fiat level surface.)
Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other component
parts and thereby shorten the unit’s service life.
9 It is very dangerous to use an AC power source of high voltage
such as for an air conditioner.
A fire might be caused by such a connection.
« A DC power source can not be used.
Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially if on a
ship or other place where DC is used.
* Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC power cord, as
this may result in fire or electric shock.
Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the cord should also be
avoided.
» Do not pull on the cord when you are disconnecting the power, as
this could cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug firmly when you
disconnect the power supply.
o Never touch the plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock
could result.
• Never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if
there seems to be a problem.
A serious electric shock could result if you ignore this precaution

Caufion when using a TV v/ith an S-VIDEO terminal
On some television models, the video signal from components
which do not use S-VIDEO input and are connected only to the
VIDEO terminals will not be shown on the television screen.
If this occurs, use one of the following methods to view the video
signal.
Does the television have a
“VJDEO/S-VIDEO” selector
switch?
YES
NO
Set the switch to “VIDEO",
If the television has two or more video input
terminals
Connect the VIDEO terminal and the S-VIDEO
terminal to different video input terminals on the
television, and switch the picture on the televi
sion according to the video source being
played.
If the television has only one video input ter
minal
Disconnect the S-VIDEO cable connected to
the television’s S-VlDEO terminal and connect
only the video terminal.
When using S-VIDEO terminals be aware of the following.
Video signals input into the VIDEO terminals cannot be output from
S-VIDEO terminals or vice versa.
Connect this cord after all other cables and cords are connected.
(For areas except Australia and N.Z.)
Set the voltage selector to the voltage setting for the area in which
the unit will be used.
ggTsna
This unit will be seriously damaged if this setting is not made cor
rectly.
(For areas except Australia and N.Z.)
Insertion of Connector
Even when the connector is perfectly

How to use the antenna plug (included)
Two types of wire are most commonly used for connection from the
antenna: 300 £2 parallel feeder wire or 75 £2 coaxial cable. For best
resistance to outside interference, the use of 75 £2 coaxial cable is
suggested.

holder (facing in the direction of best reception).
Pay attention to the following points when mounting the antenna.
e Do not mount it close to power cords, speaker wires or metal sur
faces (Doing so will result in noise),
e Do not mount it dose to a tape deck. When the tape deck is being
used, chirping or beeping sounds may result.

Enjoying sound with SFC
' SFC is the abbreviation of Sound Field Control.
The SFC function gives presence and spread thereby enhancing
and enriching the music or movie.
Read the following explanations in order to better understand how
to make your selection.
HALL
This mode imparts a reflection and spread which will make you feel
as if you are in a large concert hail.
CLUB
Like a jazz club, this mode provides an exciting and intimate atmos
phere. It simulates the sound field of a relatively small room having
a low ceiling and hard reflective surfaces, for a “live” sound with
enhanced presence to bring the performers up close.
LIVE
Primarily for vocal pieces, this mode adds gloss to the vocals and
you’ll feel as though you were hearing a live stage performance.
THEATER
You can clearly perceive the directions and source of the movie.
Real ambience of sound can also be recreated naturally using this
mode.
THEATER mode can be used with stereo sources not encoded with
DOLBY SURROUND.

Troubleshooting guide
Before requesting service for this unit, check the chart below for a
possible cause of the problem you are experiencing. Some simple
checks or a minor adjustment on your part may eliminate the prob
lem and restore proper operation.
Reference pages indicated in biack circles. (For example:
Problem
Probable cause(s)
While iistening io FiVt broadcasts
An unusual hissing noise is
heard when listening to the
broadcast in stereo, but not
heard when listening
monauraily.
Noise is excessive in both
stereo and monaural broad
casts.
The “STEREO” indicator or
the “TUNED” indicator flick
ers, without completely illu
minating.
Excessive distortion in the
sound of stereo broadcasts.
A slight noise may be heard because the method
used for modulation of FM stereo broadcasts is
different than that used for.monaural broadcasts.
Poor location and/or direction of the antenna.
Transmitting station is too far away.
Poor location and/or direction of the antenna.
Transmitting station is too far away.
Nearby building or mountain.
■if you are in doubt about some of the check points, or if the reme
dies indicated in the chart do not solve the problem, refer to the
directory of Authorized Service Centers (enclosed with this unit) to
locate a convenient service center, or consult your dealer for
instructions.
Suggested remedy
® Try reducing the treble sound by using the treble
control. (®)
e Try changing the location, height and/or direction
of the antenna, (i®)
® If an indoor antenna is being used, change to an
A strange hissing noise is
produced continuously or
intermittently.
Unit is being used at the same time as the
television set.
Interference from adjacent broadcast signal.
The AM loop antenna connection wires are too
close to the power cord.
The power supply frequency from the power cord
is modulated and heard from the speakers.
Caused by the “discharge phenomenon" and the
“oscillation phenomenon” of electric appliances
(such as fluorescent lights, TV, small series-type
motors, rectification equipment, etc.).
Common Problems
Power will not switch ON.
No sound is heard.
Sound stops during a per
formance, or no sound is
heard when the power is
switched ON.
(The word “OVERLOAD"
appears on the display.)
The power cord plug is not completely inserted.
The speaker indicator(s) is(are) turned off.
The muting function is ON.
Connections to the speaker systems or external
equipment are incomplete or incorrect.
The incorrect input source has been selected.
The protection circuitry has functioned because
the positive and negative speaker connection
wires have “shorted,” speaker systems with an
impedance less than the indicated rated
impedance of this unit have been used or are
under severe use, such as through excessive vol
ume, excessive power or being in an excessively
hot environment.
