Notes:

! The default distance is set to 2 m (6 feet). If speakers cannot be placed at equal

distances, refer to "Speaker delay setting" (see page 43).

! Place the TV halfway between the front speakers. ! It is recommended that the centre speaker be placed near the television. ! Place the surround speakers at a position just above the height of your ears. ! You can place the subwoofer anywhere you like. As it vibrates whilst reproducing

bass, place it on a stable, sturdy surface.

AC power conn ection

" Connecting the AC power lead

After checking all the connections have been made correctly, plug in the amplifier unit.

Wall socket (AC 220 V - 240 V, 50/60 Hz)

Setting the AM/FM interval

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established that member countries should maintain either a 10 kHz or 9 kHz interval between broadcasting frequencies of AM stations and 100 kHz or 50 kHz for FM stations. The illustration shows the 50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).

Before using the unit, be sure to set it to the AM/FM tuning interval (span) used in your area.

To change the AM/FM tuning interval:

1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by mode. 2 Whilst holding down the TUNER (BAND) button, press the ON/STAND-BY button.

3 Within 6 seconds, press the , , or button to select the interval (span) in your

area. The display switches each time you press the button.

Preparation for Use

! Unplug the AC power lead from the wall socket if the unit will not be in use for a

prolonged period of time.

! Before unplugging the AC power lead, remove all the discs.

AC Plug Adaptor

- AC power connection / Setting the AM/FM interval -

In areas (or countries) where a wall socket 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 wall socket and AC power plug can be directly connected (see illustration ).

Note for users in Australia and New Zealand:

An AC plug adaptor is not supplied if the lead has an Australian Standard plug.

4 Within 6 seconds, press the ENTER button on the remote control.

The unit will enter the power stand-by mode automatically.

Note:

The AM/FM tuning interval will not change unless you press the ENTER button within 6 seconds.

Caution:
