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.

WARNING

ENGLISH

UNPACKING AND

FOR U.S.A. AND CANADA 120 V

Units shipped to the U.S.A. and Canada are
designed for operation on 120 V AC only.

Safety precaution with use of a polarized AC plug.
However, some products may be supplied with a
nonpolarized plug.

CAUTION : To prevent electric shock, match wide

blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.
ATTENTION : Pour eviter les choc electriques,

introduire la lame la plug large de la borne
correspondante de la prise et poussre jusqu'au fond.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

FOR EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA ............230V/240V

Units shipped to Australia are designed for operation
on 240 V AC only.
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug
supplied must be inserted only into a standard three­pin power point which is effectively earthed through
the normal household wiring. Extension cords used
with the equipment must be three-core and be
correctly wired to provide connection to earth.
Improper extension cords are a major cause of
fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates
satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is
earthed and that the installation is completely safe.
For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective
earthing of the power point, consult a qualified
electrician.

Do not connect the receiver to the wall AC outlet when plugging and unplugging connection cords.

Be sure to connect the white RCA pin cords to the L (left) and the red RCA pin cords to the R (right) jacks when making

connections.
Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations.
A 75 Ω outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception.

Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.
Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a

direction for the best reception.
If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna.
Caution: When listening to AM broadcasts in a surround mode without an AM antenna, digital noise can be heard.

Should this happen, connect an AM antenna.
Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, it can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.
If the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for about 2 weeks, the memorized contents will be cleared.
Should this happen, memorize them again.

SURROUND SOUND

The sound heard in a place such as a concert hall or a movie theater consists of the direct sound that reaches our
ears directly from the sound source and the reflected sound that is indirectly reflected off from walls, floor and
ceilling. The reflected sound reaches our ears slightly later than the direct sound. The delay time is the time
difference between the direct sound and the reflected sound. The optimum delay time will be different according to
the room size and the acoustic properties. It is recommended that you try different times to obtain the best effect.

• It is adjustable in the Dolby Digital(AC-3) and the Dolby Pro Logic modes only.

The R-945 incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor that allows you to create optimum sound
quality and sound atmosphere in your personal Home Theater.
