THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.
CAUTION:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
≥Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
≥Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
≥Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
≥Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment
would void the user’s authority to operate this device.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
CAUTION
RQT7921
2
Avoid use or placing highly magnetic devices (Speakers etc.)
or devices that emit strong electro-magnetic waves (mobile
telephones etc.) near the main unit.
≥The above may result in problems with audio and video, and
recorded content may be lost.
≥Be extra cautious when you are using a plasma television,
keeping these devices as far away as possible.
Stacking
Place the unit in a horizontal position, and do not place anything
heavy on it.
The socket outlet shall be installed near the equipment and easily
accessible or the mains plug or an appliance coupler shall remain
readily operable.
≥Operating while there is condensation in the unit or on the
cassette tape may cause the tape to catch upon the cylinder
resulting in the tape being cut, or not being able to remove the
cassette tape from the unit. The unit also may not work properly
if the unit's cylinder or heads have been damaged.
≥Wait 1–2 hours for condensation to evaporate (do not operate
the unit during this time).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit.
Follow the safety instructions on the unit and the applicable safety
instructions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for
future reference.
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.
A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.
The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
(Inside of product)
∫ Tapes
≥You can use tapes with the VHS and S-VHS marks, but this unit is
unable to make full use of the characteristics of S-VHS tapes.
≥Break out the tape’s tab to prevent accidental
erasure. Cover the hole with a double layer of
adhesive tape when you want to use the tape
for recording again.
∫ S-VHS Quasi Playback (SQPB)
You can play tapes recorded with the S-VHS system, however some
noise may occur with some types and this unit cannot take advantage
of S-VHS’s high resolution.
This unit cannot make S-VHS recordings.
∫ Tape care
Poor quality or damaged tapes can cause the heads to become dirty
and malfunction. Store your tapes carefully and discard when they
become dirty or damaged.
Never use tapes on which juice has been spilt or those that are
extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads to become
dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.
≥Not doing the following will cause damage to the unit.
∫ Caution
Tapes that are inserted slightly offset cannot be loaded into the unit.
Insert the tapes straight into the unit to prevent malfunction.

To prevent short-circuit, do not cover the connection terminals
with the pipe.
2 Assemble the pipes.
A Thread the speaker cable from Pipe A through Pipe B
and the base.
For quicker threading, loosely fold the cable in half (do not
crease), pass the folded portion through the pipe, and then
pull the rest of the cable through the base.
B Join Pipe A to Pipe B.
C Secure the pipes.
Ensure the screw is securely fastened.
4 Connect the speaker cables.
5 Secure the speaker cable to the base.
[Note]
You can use the front speakers without assembling with the stands. In this case, attach the included
rubber pads to the base of the speakers. This prevents vibration from causing the speakers to move or
fall over. Use 4 pads per speaker.

STEP2 Positioning
Bottom of surround speaker
How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points.
≥Attach the included rubber pads to the base of the center and surround speakers. This
prevents vibration from causing the speakers to move or fall over. Use 4 pads per
speaker.
≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.
≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover
walls and windows with thick curtains.

Note
Keep your speakers at least 10mm (13/32q) away from the system for
proper ventilation.

≥Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it is
placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a rack or
shelf.
≥To prevent the speakers from falling do not place the speakers
directly on top of the television.

∫ Preventing the speakers from falling over
Preparation
Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall
≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the walls
or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.
≥Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate
procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may
not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in
damage to the wall or speakers.

Notes on speaker use
≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you
play sound at high levels over extended periods.
≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage.
– When playing distorted sound.
– When the speakers are receiving howling from a record player,
noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator,
test disc, or electronic instrument.
– When adjusting the sound quality.
– When turning the unit on or off.
Caution
≥The main unit and supplied speakers are
only to be used as indicated in this setup.
Failure to do so may lead to damage to the
amplifier and/or the speakers, and may
result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified
service person if damage has occurred or if
you experience a sudden change in
performance.
≥Do not attempt to attach these speakers to
walls using methods other than those
described in this manual.
Caution
Do not stand on the base and shake the
speaker.
Be cautious when children are near.
