PLACING THE RECEIVER

Do not place objects directly on top of the receiver as it could prevent proper heat dispersal.

This section lists important information that will help you properly use and enjoy your system. Read all the included safety and operating instructions before using your system. Follow them closely, and retain them for future reference.

1. Heed Warnings — Follow all warnings on the product and in the operating instructions.

When installing in a rack or shelf, be sure to leave more than 8 inches of space above and behind the receiver.

MAKING CABLE CONNECTIONS

Be careful not to bend cables over the top of the receiver. If cables are placed on top of the receiver, the magnetic field prodcued by the receiver’s transformers can cause the speakers to produce a humming noise.

USING DISCS

When using discs, you must always take the following precautions:

• Do not touch the playback side of the disc.

• Do not attach paper or tape to discs.

• Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or near heat sources.

• Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust such as a bathroom or near a humidifier.

• Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing objects on discs outside of their case may cause warping.

Cleaning Discs

Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean.

If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth.

3. Attachments — Do not use attachments/accessories not recommended by the product manufacturer, as they might create a hazard.

5. Accessories — Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for mounting, and use a recommended mounting accessory.

• Carts — Move the product on a cart carefully. Quick

stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product/cart to overturn.

6. Disc Tray — Keep your fingers well clear of the disc tray as it is closing. It may cause serious personal injury.

7. Burden — Do not place a heavy object on or step on the product. The object may fall, causing serious personal injury and serious damage to the product.

8. Connecting — When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all the equipment from the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal injury. Read the owner’s manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making any connections.

9. Sound Volume — Reduce the volume to the minimum level before you turn on the product. Otherwise, sudden high volume sound may cause hearing or speaker damage.

10. Sound Distortion — Do not allow the product to output distorted sound for a longtime. It may cause speaker overheating and fire.

Do not use any type of solvents such as thinner, benzene, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray for vinyl LPs. They might damage the disc.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Careful attention is devoted to quality standards in the manufacture of your system, and safety is a major factor in its design. However, safety is also your responsibility.

11. Headphones — When you use headphones, keep the volume at a moderate level. If you use headphones continuously with high volume sound, it may cause hearing damage.

12. Laser Beam — Do not look into the opening of the disc tray or ventilation opening of the product to see the source of the laser beam. It may cause sight damage.

damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.

• If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

• When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

15. Power Sources — Operate this product using only the power source indicated on its marking label. If you are not sure of your home's power type, consult your product dealer or local power company.

16. Polarization — This product is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit in the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. If you need an extension, use a polarized cord.

17. Power-Cord Protection — Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

18. Lightning — For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

19. Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

20. Objects and Liquids — Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

21. Servicing — Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

22. Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the

product.

• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

23. Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or having the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

24. Safety Check — Upon completion of service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

25. Wall or Ceiling Mount — The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

26. Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

27. Non-use Periods — Unplug the system’s power cord when you will not use it for extended periods.

28. Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Note to CATV System Installer

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, you must use a 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna (not supplied). Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient. If you live in an area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements.

If you have a FM antenna that uses coaxial cable, connect it directly to

ANTENNA FM 75

If you have a twin-lead FM antenna, connect it to the supplied transformer, then plug the transformer into

If the supplied AM loop antenna does not deliver sufficient reception, use an outdoor AM antenna (not supplied).

PLACING THE SPEAKERS

1. Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV.

2. Install the center speaker above or below the TV so the center channel’s sound is localized at the TV screen.

CCCCaaaauuuuttttiiiioooonnnn:::: If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it to reduce the risk of damage or injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of external shocks (for example, earthquakes).

3. Install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.

Use an insulated wire more than 15 feet (5 m) long. Strip one end, and connect that end to

NNNNooootttteeee:::: Try not to install the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround effect.

4. Place the subwoofer on the floor near the TV.

CCCCaaaauuuuttttiiiioooonnnn:::: Be sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.

INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE CONTROL

Your remote control requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend alkaline batteries.

CCCCaaaauuuuttttiiiioooonnnnssss::::

• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow to remove it.

2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3. Replace the cover.

When the remote control stops operating properly, replace the batteries.

3. Release the speaker terminal.

4. Plug the AC power cord into an AC wall socket.

WWWWaaaarrrrnnnniiiinnnngggg: not burn or bury them.

CCCCaaaauuuuttttiiiioooonnnn:::: If you do not plan to use the remote control for a month or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
