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 sources of heat, 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 greater 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 the 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.

Condensation — Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens when:

- The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot

- The heating system has just been turned on

- The unit is used in a very humid room

- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner

When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function

normally, Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours, then try to operate again.

Wall or ceiling mounting —The unit should not be mounted

on a wall or-ceiling, u;less specified in the Operating Instructions.

Electric Power

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 still does not easily insert 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.

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 routed 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.

“3

AA*

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 plug 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

Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make

sure it is located away from power lines. 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/NFPA 70, 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.

Antenna Grounding According to the National Electrical Code

Maintenance

Clean the unit only as recommended in the Operating Instructions.

The Dolby Pro Logic feature and the center and rear speakers

(standard) assure full-scale home theater sound. When playing back laser discs or video software that have been specially recorded with four-channel sound (left, right, center, rear) and steering logic (for sound directionality), astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment.

Independent control of the four sound 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 using the DOLBY PRO LOGIC, adjust the proper

balance of speaker sound levels.

● Make sure the supplied speakers are properly connected and

positioned. (See page 3)

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

(See page 4)

● Make sure the laser disc, video tape, etc. , support

surround speakers.

While “C” or “S” is displayed, press the DOWN 1<< or UP

To adjust the balance between the left and right speakers,

use the BALANCE control while “L” or “R is displayed.

to stop the noise signal.

If the surround speakers volume of the DSP is changed (See page 7), the DOLBY PRO LOGIC level is also changed.

About the channels The left and right speakers create the stereo effect. The center speaker helps achieve precise sound positioning

over a broad sound field. The rear-mounted surround speakers enhance the “depth” of the sound field.

To change the delay time

The surround speakers reproduce sounds a split second after the front speakers. The delay is initially set to 20 ms

(milliseconds).

To change this standard delay time, press the MANUAL SELECT

(TEST) button on the remote control three times in NORMAL

mode (or twice in PHANTOM mode) so that “T” is displayed. Then, press the DOWN 1<4 or UP the buttons is pressed, the delay time changes as shown below.

Use the remote control.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft and dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, ~enzine or thinner as these coul~ damage the finish of the unit.

To clean the heads and tape paths

After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are commercially available.) When cleaning with a cotton swab, wipe the recording/playback head, erasure-head (deck 2 only), capstans, and pinchrollers.

After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a liquid head cleaning cassette or a moistened swab, wait until the cleaned parts are completely dry before inserting the tapes.

To demagnetize the heads

The heads may become magnetized after long-term use. This may narrow the output range of recorded tapes and increase noise. After 20 to 30 hours use, demagnetize the heads with any commercially available, demagnetizer.

Care of tapes

● Store tapes in their cases after use.

● Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or

any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound quality and cause noise.

● Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car

parked in direct sunlight.
