PRECAUTIONS

Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as the safety suggestions below.

Installation

Water and moisture — Do not use this unit near water, such

as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.

Heat — Do not use this unit near heat sources, including heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41”F) or higher than 35°C (95”F).

Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface. Ventilation — The unit should be situated with adequate

space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from each side.

- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings.

- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack where ventilation may be impeded.

Objects and liquid entry — Take care that objects or liquids

do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings. Carts and stands — When placed or

mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit or cart to overturn or fall.

Wall or ceiling mounting —The unit should not be mounted on a wall or-ceiling, u;less specified in the Operating

Instructions.

Owner’s record For your convenience, record the model number and serial number (you will find them on the rear of your unit) in the space provided below. Please refer to them when you contact your Aiwa dealer in case of difficulty.

Model No. Serial No. (Lot No.) AV-DV70

Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources

specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit.

Polarization — As a safety feature, some units are equipped with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to

insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If it is not still inserted easily into the outlet,

pIease call a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the

polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.

AC power cord

- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.

- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this could result in fire or shock.

- Power cords should be firmly secured to avoid being severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord from the unit to the power socket.

- Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords

beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.

Extension cord — To help prevent electric shock, do not use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be

completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the

plug.

When

not in use — Unplug the AC power cord from the AC

power outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

Outdoor Antenna

1 Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make

sure it is located away from power lines,

2 Outdoor antenna grounding — Be sure the antenna system

is properly grounded to provide protection against unexpected voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS1/NFPA70, provides information on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals, and requirements for grounding terminals themselves,

CONNECTIONS

Before connecting the AC cord The rated voltage of your unit shown on the rear panel is 120 V AC. Check that the rated voltage matches your local voltage.

CONNECTING EQUIPMENT

Jacks and plugs of the connecting cord are color-coded as follows: Red jacks and plugs : For the right channel of audio signals White jacks and plugs: For the left channel of audio signals Yellow jacks and plugs: For video signals

IMPORTANT Connect the speakers, antennas, and all other external equipment first. Then connect the AC cord at the end.

*’ Be sure to connect the VIDEO OUT terminal of a DVD player

directly to aTV set, not through this unit. Otherwise, the picture noise may appear when playing copy protected DVDS.

‘2 Input sound through the DIGITAL IN terminals cannot be

recorded, When recording the sound from the DVD or LD player, connect the analog AUDIO OUT terminals of the player to the corresponding AUDIO IN terminals of the receiver.

‘3 When connecting a monaural video, use a stereo-mono

connecting cord (not supplied).

‘4 When connecting an LD player equipped with the AC-3 RF

OUT terminal, use an RF demodulator unit. Also connect the analog AUDIO OUT terminals of the LD player to the receiver to play all the sources. For further information, refer to the instructions of the LD player.

CONNECTING SPEAKERS @

Front sneakers

Speaker terminals

Connect front speakers (system A and/or B), a center speaker, surround speakers and sub woofer to the corresponding speaker terminals on the unit:

- the front speaker cords to the FRONT SPEAKERS terminals

- the center speaker cord to the CENTER SPEAKER terminals

- the surround speaker cords to the SURROUND SPEAKERS terminals,

- for more powerful bass, the sub woofer (with a built-in amplifier) cord to the SUPER WOOFER d jack

Speaker impedance * Front and center speakers Use the same impedance for both the front and center speakers. The SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR on the rear should be set to the position that matches the impedance value of the front and center speakers. When using 4 ohm speakers, set the selector to IMP:4L2. When using 8 ohm speakers, set the selector to IMP:8Q, Please unplug the AC cord before setting the selector, * Surround speakers and super woofer The SPEAKER IMPEDANCE SELECTOR has no effect on the SURROUND SPEAKERS terminals and the SUPER WOOFER 4 jack. For the surround speakers and sub woofer, use speakers of 8 ohms or more.

Connecting + to +, – to – terminals

To get the proper sound effect, the speaker terminals on the unit and the speaker should be connected with proper polarity; the + terminal on the unit should be connected to the + terminal on the speaker (and – to –).

Lift up the terminal flap, insert the speaker cord lead into the terminal slot, then close the flap. Check that the cord is connected securely.

This unit is equipped with not only the Dolby Pro Logic decoder but also Dolby Digital decoder. The unit and the center and surround speakers (standard) assure full-scale home theater sound. When playing back discs or video software that have been recorded in Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital Surround, astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment. Independent control of the five channels allows the listener to

enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in movie theaters. Voices are reproduced in the front and center sound field, while ambient sounds like cars and crowds are reproduced on all sides of the listener for an incredibly lifelike audio/video

experience. Please read the following carefully to “tune” the

system’s output to match the characteristics of your listening space.

Check the following:

● Before enjoying the DOLBY SURROUND sound, adjust the

speaker sound levels to the proper balance (see page 15).

● Make sure the speakers are properly connected and positioned

(see pages 4 and 5).

● Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected

(see page 3).

● Make sure the disc and video tape, etc., support Dolby Pro

Logic or Dolby Digital Surround.
