System Connections

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

󳢯Be sure to connect the white plugs to the L (left) and the red plugs 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 with the AM loop 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.

So you should memorize them again.

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.

• Manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories. “Dolby”, “ Pro Logic” and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.

󳢯The R-925 incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor that allows you to create the optimum sound

quality and the sound atmosphere in your room.

To obtain the best surround sound effect in your home, place the speakers as follows; 󳢯Front speakers : Place each front speaker about 1m (40”) from the TV

set.

󳢯Center speaker : Place the center speaker either above or below the

TV set to assure good visualization of center channel program.

󳢯Rear speakers : Place the rear speakers approximately 1m above the

ear level of a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly behind.

󳢯Subwoofer : Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a

powered subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.

󳢯The ideal surround system needs all the speakers listed above.

However, if you don’t have a center speaker, a subwoofer or rear speakers, select the best possible surround mode with the available speakers.

Note: To avoid interference with the TV picture, use only magnetically

shielded center and front speakers.
