Electric Power

1 Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources

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

2 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, please 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.

3 AC power cord

- When disconnecting the AC power cord, puli 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.

4 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.

5 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.

ENGLISH

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.

TO SELECT A DOLBY SURROUND MODE

DOLBY SURROUND

Check the following:

• Before enjoying the DOLBY SURROUND sound, adjust the

speaker sound levels to the proper balance (see page 16).

• 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.

SELECTING DOLBY SURROUND

The optimal Dolby Digital Surround and Dolby Pro Logic modes and settings depend on the type and placement of the speakers.

It is recommended that the optional Aiwa speakers should be

used for all channels, for example, the SX-AVR2700 speaker system. Check the current type and placement of your speakers and select

the recommended mode accordingly.
