Preparation for Use
- System installation -
System installation
You can attach the floor speaker stand (optional accessory) to the front and surround
speakers.
(For details on the optional accessory, refer to page 61.)
"Magnetically shielded speakers
The front, surround and centre speakers may be placed beside or near the TV as
they are magnetically shielded. However, discolouration may occur depending on the
TV type.
If colour variation occurs...
Turn off the TV (with the power switch).
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.
If the colour variation is still present...
Move the speakers further away from the TV.
Refer to the manual of the TV for details.
Note:
The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded.
"Placing the speaker system
The best surround effect will be achieved by placing each speaker at the same
distance from the listening position.
It is recommended to arrange the speakers as shown below.
Notes:
!The default distance is set to 2 m (6 feet). If speakers cannot be placed at equal
distances, refer to "Speaker delay setting" (see page 43).
!Place the TV halfway between the front speakers.
!It is recommended that the centre speaker be placed near the television.
!Place the surround speakers at a position just above the height of your ears.
!You can place the subwoofer anywhere you like. As it vibrates whilst reproducing
bass, place it on a stable, sturdy surface.

AC power connection
"Connecting the AC power lead
After checking all the connections have been made correctly, plug in the amplifier
unit.
Note:
!Unplug the AC power lead from the wall socket if the unit will not be in use for a
prolonged period of time.
!Before unplugging the AC power lead, remove all the discs.
AC Plug Adaptor
In areas (or countries) where a wall socket shown in illustration is used, connect
the unit using the AC plug adaptor supplied with the unit, as illustrated. The AC plug
adaptor is not included in areas where the wall socket and AC power plug can be
directly connected (see illustration ).
Note for users in Australia and New Zealand:
An AC plug adaptor is not supplied if the lead has an Australian Standard plug.
Setting the AM/FM interval
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established that member coun-
tries should maintain either a 10 kHz or 9 kHz interval between broadcasting frequen-
cies of AM stations and 100 kHz or 50 kHz for FM stations. The illustration shows the
50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).
Before using the unit, be sure to set it to the AM/FM tuning interval (span) used in
your area.
To change the AM/FM tuning interval:
Note:
The AM/FM tuning interval will not change unless you press the ENTER button within
6 seconds.
Caution:
!When the unit is left for a few hours after the span is switched and the AC power
lead is disconnected, the AM span automatically returns to 9 kHz (FM span to 50
kHz). If this happens, set the span again.
!When the span is switched, all the memorised stations will be cancelled.
