Volume control

„

The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker efficiency, location,
and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels,
which occurs whilst turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or
whilst continually listening at high volumes.

Condensation

„

Sudden temperature changes, storage or opera­tion in an extremely humid environment may
cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pick­up, tape heads, etc.) or on the transmitter on the
remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.
If this happens, leave the power on with no disc
(or cassette) in the unit until normal playback is
possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensa­tion on the transmitter with a soft cloth before op­erating the unit.

Care of compact discs

„

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to
an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum
enjoyment from your CD collection and player.

z

Do not write on either side of the disc, par ticularly the non-label side from which
signals are read. Do not mark this surface.

z

Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.

z

Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can
cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a
soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.

To enjoy the surround effect, we recommend that you place each speaker as shown
to the below.

Main unit

Front speaker
(Left)

Surround speaker
(Left)

TV

Front speaker
(Right)

Surround speaker
(Right)

Notes:

z

The front speakers are magnetically shielded.
Therefore, they do not affect the display even you use them near the TV. However,
some colour variation may occur, depending on the type of TV used.

If colour variation occurs...

Turn off the TV (from the power switch).
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.

If the colour variation is still present...

Move the front speakers further away from the TV.

z

If any kind of magnet or an electromagnet is placed too close to the TV and the sys­tem, irregular colours may appear on the TV screen.

Note:

The speaker grilles on the front and surround speakers are not removable.

Installation of the surround speakers:

If possible, mount the surround speakers on the wall. Install them 60 cm - 90 cm (23"

- 35") above the height of your ears when you are seated.

Example: when installed on the wall Example: when installed vertically

Preparation for Use

To mount the surround speakers on the

„

wall

The design of the surround speakers allows them to be hung on the wall. Be sure to
use the type and size of screw that is shown to the below.

5 mm (3/16")

Min. 22 mm (7/8")

1

Drive one screw through the
wall for each speaker.

z

Make sure that both the screw
and the wall can support a load
of 20 kg (45 lbs.).

z

Drive the screws, so there is
about a 5 mm (3/16") space be­tween the wall and the head of
the screw.

Connecting the AC power lead

„

After making all connections, connect the AC power lead to the unit
and then into the wall socket. If you plug in the unit first, it will enter
the demonstration mode.

Notes:

z

Unplug the AC power lead from the AC socket if the unit will not be in use for a pro­longed period of time.

z

Never use a power lead other than the one supplied. Use of a power lead
other than the one supplied may cause an electric shock or fire.

AC Plug Adaptor

In areas (or countries) where an AC socket as shown in illustration is used, con­nect the unit using the AC plug adaptor supplied with the unit, as illustrated. The AC
plug adaptor is not included in areas where the AC wall socket and AC power plug
can be directly connected (see illustration ).

Headphones

„

z

Before plugging in or unplugging the headphones, reduce
the volume.

z

Be sure your headphones have a 3.5 mm (1/8") diameter
plug and are between 16 ohms and 50 ohms impedance.
The recommended impedance is 32 ohms.

z

Plugging in the headphones disconnects the speakers
automatically. Adjust the volume using the VOLUME but­tons.

„

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established that member coun­tries should maintain either a 100 kHz or a 50 kHz interval between broadcasting fre­quencies of FM stations and 10 kHz or 9 kHz for AM station. The illustration shows
the 50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).
Before using the unit, set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the rear panel) to the
interval (span) of your area.

To change the tuning zone:

1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode.
2 Set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the rear panel) as follows.

z

For 50 kHz FM interval (9 kHz in AM) 50/9

z

For 100 kHz FM interval (10 kHz in AM) 100/10
