3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water - for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is
recommended by the manufacturer.
6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with
its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a book case
or cabinet, that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in
the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
11. Grounding or Polarization - Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means
of an appliance are not defeated.
12. Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.
13. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only
as recommended by the manufacturer.
14. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be
located away from power lines.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside
antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built
up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect 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 antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.
16. Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left
unused for a long period of time.
17. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall, and liquids are not spilled,

A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled, into the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

BeforeYou Start
To install Batteries
1.Open the battery door.
Battery Replacement
When batteries become weak, the operating distance of the Remote Control is greatly reduced and you will
need to replace the batteries.
Notes:
• If the Remote Control is not going to be used for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid corrosion damage
caused by battery leakage.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix ALKALINE, standard (CARBON-ZINC) or rechargeable
(NICKEL-CADMIUM) batteries.
2.Insert two "AA" batteries.
Using the Remote Control
• Point the Remote Control at the REMOTE SENSOR located on the Unit.
• When there is a strong ambient light source, the performance of the infrared REMOTE SENSOR may be
degraded, causing unreliable operation.
• The recommended effective distance for remote operation is about 16 feet (5 meters).

Dolby Pro Logic II createsfivefull-bandwidth output channels fromtwo-channelsources. This
is done using an advanced, high-purity matrix surround decoder that extracts the spatial
properties of the original recording without adding any new sounds or tonal colorations.
DolbyDigital
Dolby Digital is a sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc. that gives movie theatre ambience to audio
output when the Unit is connected to a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel processor or amplifier.
This Unit automatically recognizes DVDs that have been recorded with Dolby Digital.
Not all Dolby Digital sources are recorded with 6 channels.
Some sources marked Dolby Digital may be recorded in Dolby Surround, a 2 channel system. Look for this logo on
your DVD Unit.
Movie Mode
The Movie mode in Pro Logic II is very similar to that of the original Pro Logic decoder. The main difference is that
it has stereo surround channels and no surround filter, unlike Pro Logic which has a mono surround channel and
a7 kHz surround filter.Movie mode isthe standard required forall A/V systems.When an autosoundunit has a video
screen, it is also considered an A/V system. It can be called simply "Pro Logic II".
Music Mode
The Music mode offers users some flexibility to control the end results to their own taste. Music mode should not be
used with THX audio processing mode. Music mode is recommended as the standard mode for autosound music
systems (without video), and is optional for A/V systems. It is recommended that Music mode be identified as the
"Music" version of Pro Logic II, to distinguish it from the Movie mode.

where the fluctuations from poor FM stereo reception can otherwise cause disturbing surround signals from a logic
decoder. The ultimate "cure" for poor FM stereo reception may be simply to force the audio to mono.

ProLogic EmulationMode
The Pro Logic emulation mode offers users the same robust surround processing as original Pro Logic, in case the
source content is not of optimum quality, or if there is a desire to hear the program more "as it used to be". When this

Dolby does not require PLII products to use the original Pro Logic decoding algorithm. However, if the DSP contains

A product must not offer both original Pro Logic and the Pro Logic emulation mode.
