MAKING CABLE CONNECTIONS
Be careful not to bend cables over the top of the receiver.
If cables are placed on top of the receiver, the magnetic field prod-
cued by the receiver’s transformers can cause the speakers to pro-
duce a humming noise.
USING DISCS
When using discs, you must always take the following precautions:
• Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
• Do not attach paper or tape to discs.
• Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or near
heat sources.
• Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust such as
a bathroom or near a humidifier.
• Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing objects on
discs outside of their case may cause warping.
Cleaning Discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deteriora-
tion. Wipe the disc from the center outward with a soft cloth. Always
keep the disc clean.
If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly
with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth.
Do not use any type of solvents such as thinner, benzene, commer-
cially available cleaners or anti-static spray for vinyl LPs. They might
damage the disc.

CONNECTING COMPONENTS
You must connect a TV to the receiver in order to use the receiver’s
DVD player. You can connect other audio and audio/visual compo-
nents to the receiver in order to use the Home Theater Audio Sys-
tem’s surround sound capabilities.
Connecting a TV
Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to connect a TV to the receiver.
Connect red plugs to the red AUDIO jacks and white plugs to the
white AUDIO jacks.
If your TV has an S-Video jack, use an S-Video cable to connect your
TV to the receiver’s S-VIDEO OUT. If your TV does not have an S-Vid-
eo jack, use audio/video cord to connect your TV to the receiver’s
MONITOR OUT.
Connecting a Cassette Deck
Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to connect a cassette deck to
the receiver. Connect red plugs to the red AUDIO jacks and white
plugs to the white AUDIO jacks. Make sure you connect the VCR to
both the TAPE IN and TAPE OUT sets of jacks.
Note: If the cassette deck is placed too close to the receiver, noise
might occur during cassette playback. If this happens, move the cas-
sette deck farther away from the receiver.
Connecting a VCR
Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to connect a VCR to the receiv-
er. Connect red plugs to the red AUDIO jacks and white plugs to the
white AUDIO jacks.
Connect yellow plugs to the yellow VIDEO jacks.
Note: Make sure you connect the VCR to both the IN and OUT sets of
jacks.
Connecting a Satellite Receiver or Cable Box
Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to connect a satellite receiver or
cable box to the receiver. Connect red plugs to the red AUDIO jacks
and white plugs to the white AUDIO jacks.
Note: Your cable box or satellite receiver must use audio/video cords
or Toslink optical cable to connect to the receiver. If your equipment
only uses coaxial cable, you cannot connect it to the receiver.
If your satellite receiver or cable box has digital output, use an optical
cable to connect the satellite receiver to the home theater receiver’s
SAT IN optical jack. If your satellite receiver or cable box does not
have digital output, use analog cable to connect it to the home theater
receiver’s SAT IN video jack.
Connecting a Digital Optical Audio Devices
You can connect a digital audio device such as an DAT (Digital Au-
dioTape) or MD (Mini Disc) recorder to the receiver’s DIGITAL OUT to
record audio from the receiver. Use Toslink optical cable to connect
the DAT or MD recorder to the receiver’s DIGITAL OUT optical jack.
You can also connect a satellite receiver, MD or DAT recorder, CD
player, or anything else with digital output to the receiver’s SAT IN op-
tical jack. Use Toslink optical cable to connect the desired device to
the receiver.
Connecting an Auxiliary Audio Device
You can also connect an audio device that does not require Toslink
(such as an MP3 player, playback cassette deck, or portable CD
player) to the Home Theater Audio System. Use audio cords to con-
nect the desired device to the receiver’s AUX jacks. Connect red
plugs to the red AUDIO jacks and white plugs to the white AUDIO
jacks.
Connecting a Second Sub Woofer
You can connect a second or larger powered subwoofer to the sys-
tem. Connect the sub woofer to the receiver’s SUB WOOFER PRE-OUT
jack using shielded audio cable (not supplied).
CONNECTING ANTENNAS
When connecting equipment, always make sure the power is
switched off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.
FM Indoor Antenna
In an area with strong FM signals, the T-type FM antenna (supplied)
is sufficient.
1. Use a flat or Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screws on the
supplied transformer.
2. Place the metal connectors on the end of theT-type antenna’s
base on the transformer’s metal contacts (underneath the screw
heads) then tighten the screws.
3. Plug the transformer into ANTENNA FM 75 Ω.
4. Extend the T-antenna’s other two wires and attach them to a wall
or window frame for the best possible reception.
If you have a cable FM antenna, use a coaxial cable to connect it to
ANTENNA FM 75 Ω.
FM Outdoor Antenna
In an area where FM signals are weak, you must use a 75-ohm un-
balanced-type outdoor FM antenna (not supplied). Generally, a 3-ele-
ment antenna will be sufficient. If you live in an area where the FM
signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5
or more elements.
Connect the antenna’s coaxial cable to the supplied transformer.
Plug the transformer into ANTENNA FM 75 Ω.
AM Indoor Loop Antenna
The supplied high-performance AM loop antenna is sufficient for
good reception in most areas.

8Preparation
Connect the loop antenna’s wires to AM and GND. Place the antenna
in a location (for example, on a shelf or window frame) that gives the
best reception.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the entire system,
speaker cords and the power cord to prevent unwanted noise.
AM Outdoor Antenna
If the supplied AM loop antenna does not deliver sufficient reception,
use an outdoor AM antenna (not supplied).
Note: Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect
the AM indoor loop antenna.
Use an insulated wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long. Strip one end, and
connect that end to AM.
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a win-
dow. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable
ground.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKERS
When connecting equipment, always make sure the power is
switched off and the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet.
Note: Use speakers with a normal impedance of 6 Ohms.
Follow these steps to connect the speakers.
1. Remove the plastic end pieces from the wires.
2. Twist the exposed ends of the bare wire strands.
3. Press up (or down) the speaker’s terminal and insert the appro-
priate wire ends. The color of the speaker wire’s plastic coating is
the same as the color of the matching terminal.
Note: Be sure to connect each speaker to the appropriate
speaker terminal, connecting positive to positive (+ to +) and
negative to negative (– to –).
4. Connect the front speaker’s wire to the receiver’s SPEAKERS
FRONT L and Rterminals (Red/Black).
Connect the rear speaker’s wire to the receiver’s SPEAKERS
REAR L and Rterminals (Gray/Black).
Connect the center speaker’s wire to the receiver’s SPEAKERS
CENTER terminal (Blue/Black).
Connect the subwoofer’s wire to the receiver’s SPEAKERS
WOOFER terminal (Brown/Black).
5. Release the speaker terminal.
6. Plug the AC power cord into an AC wall socket.
PLACING THE SPEAKERS
1. Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from
the TV.
2. Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the
sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
Caution: If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the
TV, be sure to secure it, to reduce the risk of damage or injury
resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of
external shocks (for example, earthquakes).
3. If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.
Note: Try not to install the surround speakers farther away from
the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing
so can weaken the surround effect.
To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers
as shown below. Be sure all speakers are installed securely to pre-
vent accidents and improve sound quality.
Overhead view of speaker set up
(Illus of speaker set up, please use the illus of 31-5011 if necessary)
INSTALLING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE
CONTROL
Your remote control requires two AAA batteries (not supplied) for
power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend
RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended
type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow
to remove it.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polar-
ity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
When the remote control stops operating properly, replace the batter-
ies.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn
or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the remote control for a month or
longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can
destroy electronic parts.
