Notes on Discs
A
C
B
D
This section shows you how to handle, clean, and store
discs.
<Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label
side uppermost. (DVD can be recorded and compact
discs can be played only on one side. Some pre-
recorded DVDs can be played on both sides)
<To remove a disc from its storage case, press down
on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding
it carefully by the edges.
How to remove the disc
How to hold the disc
<Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radi-
ally (from the center hole outward towards the outer
edge) with a soft, dry cloth :
<Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antista-
tic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the
discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to
the disc's plastic surface.
<Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to "skip."
<Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidi-
ty and temperature for extended periods. Long expo-
sure to high temperatures will warp the disc.
<Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or
damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable
harm to the playing mechanisms.
<Recordable discs are more sensitive to the effects of
heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is
important that they are not stored in a location where
direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away
from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-gen-
erating electrical devices.
<Printable discs are not recommended, as the label
side might be sticky and damage the unit.
<Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs
and do not use any protective coating spray.
<Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the infor-
mation on the label side. Never use a ball-point or
hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the
recorded side.
<Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available
CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mecha-
nisms and cause them to malfunction.
<Do not use irregular shape discs (octagonal, heart
shaped, business card size, etc.). Discs of this type
can damage the unit:
<If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of
a recordable disc, read the precautions supplied
with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer
directly.

Caution:
To avoid damaging the speakers with a sudden high-
level signal, be sure to switch the power off before con-
necting the speakers.
Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speak-
ers with an impedance of 6 ohms or more.
The red speaker terminals are + (positive), and the black
terminals are - (negative).
The + side of the speaker cable is marked to make it dis-
tinguishable from the - side of the cable. Connect this
marked side to the red + terminal and the unmarked
side to the black terminal.
Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping
off approximately 3/8" (10 mm) or less (no more as this
could cause a short-circuit) of the outer insulation.
CAUTION:
The metal portions of the two separate wires should not
touch or an electrical short can occur. Shorted wires

Hints on Speaker Placement
Speakers are usually designed with a particular place-
ment in mind. Some are designed to be floor standing,
while others should be placed on stands to sound their
best. Some should be placed near a wall, others should
be placed away from walls.
Front speakers
Place the front speakers in front of the listening posi-
tion, to the left and right of the TV.
Front speakers are required for all surround modes.
Center speaker
This speaker stabilizes the sound image.
Be sure to connect a center speaker when using the
DOLBY 3 STEREO mode.
If you choose to install the center speaker on top of
the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by other
suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or
injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV
in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
Surround speakers
Install these speakers above the level of the listen-
er's ears, to the left and right.
Do not install the surround speakers too far behind
the listening position. It might be effective to direct
the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further
disperse the sound.
Subwoofer
Reproduces powerful and deep bass sounds.
Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier referred to as
a “powered sub-woofer”. Subwoofers are most
effective when placed on or near the floor and in a
corner of the room.

Connecting Antennas
FM Indoor Antenna
Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75 socket,
and position so that good reception is received.
FM Outdoor Antenna
In an area where FM signals are weak, it may be neces-
sary to use an outdoor FM antenna. 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.
