SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care
must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment)
are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or
changing connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way—switch
off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation
or has a standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal
to watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws—to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved
stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
—NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case—this could result in
a fatal electrical shock.;
—NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind—it is better to be safe than sorry!

Putting batteries in the remote control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
1 Press and slide the battery cover on the back
of the remote control.
2 Insert batteries.
Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
3 Replace the cover.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases,
replace the batteries. Use two R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell
batteries.
•Supplied butteries are for initial setup. Replace for continued
use.
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
•Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
•Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
•Always replace both batteries at the same time.
•Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.
When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the front panel.
Getting started
Before Installation
General precautions
•Be sure your hands are dry.
•Turn the power off to all components.
•Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going
to connect.
Locations
•Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from
moisture and dust.
•The temperature around the receiver must be between –5˚C
and 35˚C.
•Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.
•Leave sufficient distance between the receiver and the TV.
Handling the receiver
•Do not insert any metal object into the receiver.
•Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
•Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.
•Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When
unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage
the cord.
•When you are away on travel or otherwise for an extended
period or time, remove the plug from the wall outlet. A small
amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is
connected to the wall outlet.
The receiver has a built-in cooling fan which operates
while the receiver is turned on. Be sure to leave enough
ventilation to obtain sufficient cooling effect.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all
connections are completed.
Checking the supplied accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied
accessories. If anything is missing, contact your dealer
immediately.
•Remote control (×1)
•Batteries (×2)
•AM (MW) loop antenna (×1)
•FM antenna (×1)
•USB wireless antenna (×1)
•USB wireless transmitter (Model number: QAL0708-001) (×1)
•USB extension cable (60 cm) (×1)

antenna.
Connecting the FM and AM (MW) antennas
Do not connect the AC power plug to the wall outlet until all connections are completed.
AM (MW) loop antenna
(supplied)
If AM (MW) reception is poor,
connect an outdoor single vinyl-
covered wire (not supplied).
AM (MW) antenna connection
Connect the AM (MW) loop antenna supplied to the AM LOOP
terminals.
Connect the white cord to the AM EXT terminal, and connect the
black cord to the Hterminal.
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.
•If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered
wire (not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal. Keep the AM (MW)
loop antenna connected.
FM antenna connection
Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75 ΩCOAXIAL
terminal as a temporary measure.
Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.
• If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor FM antenna (not
supplied). Before attaching a 75 Ωcoaxial cable with a
connector (IEC or DIN 45325), disconnect the supplied FM
antenna.
FM antenna (supplied)
NOTES
•If the AM (MW) loop antenna wire is covered with
vinyl, remove the vinyl while twisting it as shown
on the right.
•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch
any other terminals, connecting cords and power
cord. This could cause poor reception.
If FM reception is poor, connect an
outdoor FM antenna (not supplied).

Speaker Layout Diagram
CAUTIONS:
•Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the
speaker terminals (6 Ω– 16 Ω).
•DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker
terminal.
Connecting the speakers
Turn off all components before making connections.
Connecting the center speaker and the front speakers
1 Twist and remove the insulation at the end of each
speaker cord.
2 Turn the knob counterclockwise.
3 Insert the speaker cord.
•For each speaker, connect the (+) and (–) terminals on the
rear panel to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on the
speakers.
4 Turn the knob clockwise.
Connecting the surround speakers and the surround back
speakers
1 Twist and remove the insulation at the end of each
speaker cord.
2 Open the terminal (1), then insert the speaker cord
(2).
•For each speaker, connect the (+) and (–) terminals on the
rear panel to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on the
speakers.
3 Close the terminal.
*When using a single speaker for the surround back speaker
You can enjoy the surround sound by one surround back
speaker. When using one surround back speaker,
– set “SB OUT” to “<1SPK>” (see page 19) and
– connect the surround back speaker to the left surround back
speaker terminal. (No sound comes from the speaker if
you connect it to the right surround back speaker
terminal.)
Connecting the powered subwoofer
By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or
reproduce the original LFE signals recorded in digital software.
Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the
SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cord
with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
• Refer also to the manual supplied with your subwoofer.
After connecting all the speakers and/or a subwoofer, set the
speaker setting information properly to obtain the best possible
surround effect. For details, see pages 17 to 21.
NOTE
You can place a subwoofer wherever you like since bass sound is
non-directional. Normally place it in front of you.
