13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection 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.  Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

CAUTION

You are cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used for connection to host computers and/or peripherals in order to meet FCC emission limits.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the speaker cable should be connected to the apparatus and the speakers in accordance with the following instructions.

1) Disconnect the AC power cord from the MAINS.

2) Strip 10 to 15 mm of the wire insulation of the speaker cable.

3) Connect the speaker cable to the apparatus and the speakers carefully so as not to touch the core of speaker cable by hand. Also disconnect the AC power cord from the MAINS before disconnecting the speaker cable from the apparatus and the speakers.

This equipment must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE).

5.47 GHz – 5.725 GHz band is restricted to indoor

operations only.

Compliance with FCC requirement 15.407(c) Data transmission is always initiated by software, which is the passed down through the MAC, through the digital and analog baseband, and finally to the RF chip. Several special packets are initiated by the MAC. These are the only ways the digital baseband portion will turn on the RF transmitter, which it then turns off at the end of the packet. Therefore, the transmitter will be on only while one of the aforementioned packets is being transmitted. In other words, this device automatically discontinue transmission in case of either absence of information to transmit or operational failure.

Frequency Tolerance: ±20 ppm

For the customers in Canada

Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used for connection to host computers and/or peripherals.

This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference; and (2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or more away from person’s body.

5,150 MHz – 5,250 MHz band is restricted to indoor operations only.

High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the bands 5,250 MHz – 5,350 MHz and 5,650 MHz – 5,850 MHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

For the customers in Australia and New Zealand

This equipment should be installed and operated with at least 20 cm and more between the radiator and person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

Connecting Speakers

This receiver allows you to connect up to 7.1-channel system. The speaker layout diagram is a guide for the ideal speaker placement. You do not need to adjust your speaker placement exactly the same as the diagram.

Note

Before connecting cables, be sure to disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead). Before connecting the AC power cord (mains lead), make sure that metallic wires of the speaker cables are

not touching each other between the SPEAKERS terminals.

When you connect a subwoofer with an auto standby function, turn off the function when watching movies.

If the auto standby function is set to on, it turns to standby mode automatically based on the level of the input signal to the subwoofer, and the sound may not be output.

If you have two subwoofers, you can connect them to both SUBWOOFER OUT jacks.
