FOR AUSTRALIA AND EUROPE ..220 V/230 V/240 V
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Units shipped to Australia are designed for operation
on 240 V AC only.
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug
supplied must be inserted only into a standard three-
pin power point which is effectively earthed through
the normal household wiring. Extension cords used
with the equipment must be three-core and be
correctly wired to provide connection to earth.
Improper extension cords are a major cause of
fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates
satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is
earthed and that the installation is completely safe.
For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective
earthing of the power point, consult a qualified
electrician.
PAN-EUROPEAN UNIFIED VOLTAGE
All units are suitable for use on supplies 220-240 V

FOR YOUR SAFETY
Units shipped to countries other than the above
countries are equipped with an AC voltage selector
switch on the rear panel. Refer to the following
paragraph for the proper setting of this switch.
AC VOLTAGE SELECTION
This unit operates on 110-220 V AC. The AC voltage
selector switches on the rear panel are set to the
voltage that prevails in the area to which the unit is
shipped. Before connecting the power cord to your
AC outlet, make sure that the setting position of
these switches match your line voltage. If not, they
must be set to your voltage in accordance with the
following direction.

SURROUND SOUNDS |
* The R-925/R-925RDS incorporates a sophisticated Digital Signal Processor that allows you to create the
9 Se sian lease
HSITONA
optimum sound quality and the sound atmosphere in your room.
Surround modes
This receiver has 7 different surround modes to allow you to enjoy surround sound with the various
program sources: DOLBY DIGITAL(AC-3), DOLBY PRO LOGIC, DOLBY 3 STEREO, THEATER,
HALL,STADIUM,CHURCH.
DOLBY DIGITAL(AC-3) : Allows you to enjoy up to 5.1 channels of digital surround sound from Dolby
DIGITAL(AC-3) program sources bearing the “OO[82")”" trademark such as laser discs.
Dolby DIGITAL(AC-3) provides even better sound quality, improved dynamic range
and great sense of direction, compared with the conventional Dolby surround. Now,you
are able to enjoy real movies in your home.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC : This receiver incorporates the Dolby Pro Logic Surround Decoder which has the same
functions for playback as movie theaters and gives a theater - like experience in your home,
naturally reproducing the audio sound field. Use with Dolby Pro Logic program sources
bearing the “[()[potavsunrouno] ” trademark such as video cassette tapes or laser discs.
DOLBY 3 STEREO : Combining the rear speaker signal with that of the front speakers allows you to enjoy a
regenerated sound field which has comparatively more presence and a more expansive
feeling from the 3 front channels (front L,front R and center speakers) than that of ordinary
stereo regeneration. Use with Dolby program sources bearing the “ p(](sacevsunnouno] ”
trademark.
THEATER : This mode provides the effect of being ina movie theater when watching a movie sources that have a
stereo sound track.
HALL : This mode provides the ambience of a concert hall for classical music sources such as orchestral, chamber
music or an instrumental solo.
STADIUM : This mode provides the expansive sound field. For music sources like a rock concert, you will feel as
if you were actually at the live concert. For sports programs such as a baseball game, you can enjoy a
powerful sound, thus obtaining the true stadium effect.
CHURCH: This mode provides the ambience of a church for baroque, string orchestral and choral group music.
Delay time
The sound heard in a place such as a concert hall or a movie theater consists of the direct sound that reaches our
ears directly from the sound source and the reflected sound that is indirectly reflected off from walls, floor and
ceilling. The reflected sound reaches our ears slightly later than the direct sound. The delay time is the time
difference between the direct sound and the reflected sound. The optimum delay time will be different according to
the room size and the acoustic properties. It is recommended that you try different times to obtain the best effect.
* It is adjustable in the Dolby DIGITAL(AC-3) and the Dolby Pro Logic modes only.
