stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
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.
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. Pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.

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.

SURROUND EFFECT
This
unit
has
a
built-in
surround
processor
for
adding
presence
and
an
expansive
effect
to
the
sound.
e 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”
creates
effects
of
reverberated
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
16
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.
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
STUDIO
or
DOLBY
PRO
LOGIC
SURROUND
mode
is
selected.
DOLBY 3CH LOGIC
Combining
the
rear
speaker
signal
with
that
of
the
front
speakers
results
in
being
able
to
enjoy
a
regenerated
sound
field
which
has
comparatively
more
presence
and
a
more
expansive
feeling
from
the
front
3
channels
(front
L,
front

center
speakers)
than
that
of
ordinary

not
encoded

When using a center speaker:
e NORMAL — Low range frequencies, which have little effect on
directionality and positioning, are routed to the left and right front
speakers. A relatively smal! size speaker can be used as the center
speaker.
¢ WIDE — If a large size center speaker is used, choose this
setting. The full frequency range of the Dolby Surround center
channel, from low to high, is routed to the center speaker.

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 itis usually located closest to
the TV.
©
Position
the
left

right
channel
speakers
at
equal
distances
from
the
TV
set
and
approximately
1.8
m
(6

position
it
next to the TV set.
© Rear speakers are best positioned slightly above ear level.
This function transforms monaural signals into simulated stereo
sound. This will create a sense of stereo presence when listening to
AM broadcasts, and other monaural signal sources.
NOTE:
The simulated stereo function can also be used with stereo sound
sources, but it will result in an effect somewhat different from the
normal stereo sound.
