Getting Started
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
• When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the unit.
1. On the back of the remote control, remove the
battery cover.
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 R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
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.
Before Installation
General Precautions
• DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.
• DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
• DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Locations
• Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from
moisture.
• The temperature around the unit must be between 23˚F and 95˚F
(–5˚C and 35˚C).
• Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.
Handling the unit
• DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.
• 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.
• Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection,
since it is well-shielded against interference.
• When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,
the preset settings such as preset FM/AM (MW/LW) channels and
sound adjustments may be erased in a few days.
Checking the Supplied Accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories.
The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces
supplied.
• Remote Control (1)
• Batteries (2)
• AM (MW/LW) LoopAntenna (1)
• FM Antenna (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

Getting Started
Connecting the Speakers
After connecting the front, center, rear speakers and/or a subwoofer,
set the speaker setting information properly to obtain the best
possible DSP effect. For details, see page 15.
CAUTION:
Use speakers with the SPEAKER IMPEDANCE indicated by the
speaker terminals.
Connecting the front, center, and rear speakers
For each speaker, connect the (+) and (–) terminals on the rear panel
to the (+) and (–) terminals marked on the speakers respectively.
1 Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of
each speaker cord (not supplied).
2 Open the terminal, then insert the speaker cord.
3 Close the terminal.
Connecting the subwoofer speaker
By connecting a subwoofer, you can enhance the bass or reproduce
the original LFE signals recorded in the digital software.
Connect the input jack of a powered subwoofer to the
SUBWOOFER OUT jack on the rear panel, using a cable with RCA
pin plugs (not supplied).
• Refer also to the manual supplied for your subwoofer.
Since bass sound is non-directional, you can place a
subwoofer wherever you like. Normally place it in front of
you.
AM (MW/LW) antenna connection
Connect the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna supplied to the AM
LOOP terminals.
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.
• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered
wire to the AM EXT terminal. Keep the AM (MW/LW) loop
antenna connected.
FM antenna connection
Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75 ΩCOAXIAL
terminal as temporary measure.
Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.
• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna. Before
attaching a 75 Ωcoaxial cable (with a standard type
connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.
Notes:
• If the AM (MW/LW) loop antenna wire is covered
with vinyl, remove the vinyl while twisting it as
shown to the right.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.
This could cause poor reception.
