OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
lf an outside
antenna is connected to the antenna terminal,
be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges.
In the U.S.A. section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 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 Fig. A.

Dear Customer:
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ ve just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s
time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Association’ s Consumer Electronics Group want you to
get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One
that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying
blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your
sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing
adapts.
To establish a safe level:
® Start your volume control at a low setting.
@ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion,
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
® Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a
lifetime,
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime
of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is
often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group
recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This
list of sound levels is included for your protection.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library. soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway. motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

SURROUND EFFECT AND DOLBY 3CH LOGIC (Not available on the
This unit has a built-in surround processor for adding
presence and an expansive effect to the sound.
STUDIO:
Select this position to enjoy the effect of listening to
music in a recording studio.
The source sound is output as it is through the front
speakers, with reverberation output through the rear
speakers,
This is particularly suitable for a source that has a lot of
reverberation,
SIMULATED SURROUND:
The “SIMULATED SURROUND” creates effects of rever-
berated and reflected sound from the walls and ceiling
similar to a concert hall. These sound-effects added to
the actual sound from the source make you feel as if you
were in a more expanded space. The different ranges of
the expanded space can be set by the DELAY TIME
button.
Set the Delay Time to 15 ms or 20 ms for a live-house
concert. For chamber music, set to 20 ms. For orchestral
music, set to 30 ms. The “SIMULATED SURROUND” also
gives effects on monaural sources by outputting the
reverberated sound from rear speakers while keeping
the output sound from front speakers as it is. Turn on the
“SIMULATED SURROUND” for a monaural source to
gain effective surround playback.
DOLBY 3CH LOGIC:
Combining the rear speaker signal with that of the front
speakers results in your being able to enjoy a regenerat-
ed sound field which has comparatively more presence
and a more expansive feeling from the front 3 channels
(front L, front R, and center speakers) than that of ordi-
nary stereo regeneration.
(Not available on the VSX-295 model)
DOLBY* PRO LOGIC SURROUND:
Choose this setting for movies and music (especially
Video Discs and video tapes bearing the [{][potey surrouno]
mark) playback. DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND contin-
uously detects the size and direction of the dominant
signal and cancels undesirable crosstalk, thereby provid-
ing signal emphasis.
It makes you clearly perceive the directions where music
comes from. Real flow of sound also can be re-created
naturally using this feature. You can feel as if being inthe
outstanding and expansive sound field.When using
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, a delay time setting of
20 ms is commonly used. Use a different setting if you
prefer.Even if they do not bear the [j{][potey sumrouno] mark,
some video recordings may be Dolby Surround
encoded.Choose the SIMULATED SURROUND mode if
the source sound signal is mono. Little or no sound will
be heard from the surround speakers if the STADIUM or
DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND mode is selected.
With DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, monaural source
sound will be heard only from the center channel at
settings other than the PHANTOM position.
Note:
Dolby Surround will not operate correctly if the signal passes
through a graphic equalizer. When using Dolby Surround,
turn off the TAPE 2 MONITOR or set the graphic equalizer for
flat response or to its “through” (or off) setting, if you have
| one in use.

(For DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND)
You can choose from the following settings:
Center Mode Choices:
When using a center speaker:
@ NORMAL — Low range frequencies, which have little
effect on directionality and positioning, are routed to
the left and right front speakers. So you can use a
relatively small size speaker as the center speaker.
e WIDE — If you use a large size center speaker, choose
this setting. The full frequency range of the Dolby
Surround center channel, from low to high, is routed
to the center speaker.
e PHANTOM — The signal which would have been
sent to the center speaker is divided equally between
the left and right front speakers.
With DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND, monaural source
sound will be heard only from the center channel at
settings other than the PHANTOM position.

If the rear speakers are positioned at an extreme dis-
tance, the surround level will be unable to adjust and the
surround effect will not be fully achieved.
NOTE:
@ To avoid interference with the picture on a nearby TV set, use
magnetically shielded speaker systems. This is particularly
important for the center speaker since it is usually located
closest to the TV.
e Position the left and right channel speakers at equal distanc-
es from the TY set and approximately 1.8 m (6 feet) from each
other.
® Position the center speaker above, below, or behind the TV
set. Sound may not appear to coincide with the picture if you
position it next to the TV set.
® Rear speakers are best positioned slightly above ear level.

| HINTS FOR BETTER RECEPTION _
Precaution regarding installation position of
shown in the drawing below, it may be adversely affect-
ed during playback. If possible, it is better to install it in
the ‘8 position.
[EXTERNAL FM ANTENNA
The main advantage of FM over AM is the quality of the
broadcast signal. In order to benefit fully from the high
signal quality of FM broadcasts, it is recommended that
a special-purpose FM antenna be installed. In weak sig-
nal areas, a multi-element (3-element, 5-element, 7-ele-
ment) antenna should be used.
GROUNDING _ aS
Grounding is recommended if reception of FM programs
is impaired by noise. To ground, connect a thick polyvi-
nyl-insulated wire to the GND terminal and attach the
other end to a metal water pipe or grounding bar or wind
it around a copper plate and bury it.
NOTE:
Never connect a wire to a gas pipe for grounding since sparks
may ignite the gas.
EXTERNAL AM ANTENNA
If it is not possible to obtain adequate AM reception even
by changing the orientation of the AM loop antenna, a
separate indoor antenna or an outdoor antenna should
be installed,
INDOOR AM ANTENNA
Use a vinyl-insulated wire 5 to 6 meters long (15 to 18
feet) and connect one end to the AM antenna terminal
and affix the other end to the wall or ceiling, as high as
possible.
NOTE:
Do not detach the AM loop antenna when using an indoor or an
outdoor AM antenna.
OUTDOOR AM ANTENNA
If reception quality is not improved sufficiently even
when an indoor antenna is used, a vinyl-insulated wire
should be installed outside and fixed in place.
