FM Indoor Antenna
If you live reasonably close to a transmitter and want
to use the provided lead-type FM antenna, you will
have to connect it direct to the "FM 75Q" socket.
Fit the metal sleeve of the lead-type antenna over the
core (center) conductor of the "FM 75Q" socket, extend
the lead and fix it to a window frame or wall with
thumbtacks, or the like, where reception is best.
(ey
Lead-type FM Antenna (75 Q) (provided)
| FM Outdoor Antenna |
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be
necessary to use a 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM
antenna using the optional matching transformer, as
shown. Generally, a 3-element antenna will be
sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals i
are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one
with 5 or more elements.
Connect the coaxial cable of the antenna to the match-
ing transformer as shown. After completing connection,
plug the transformer into the "FM 75Q” socket.

@ Press both side tabs outward to remove the
cover.
@ Wrap the core conductor around the central
metal fixture as shown. Crimp the jagged
metal fixtures so they hold the braided portion
using pliers, etc. Put the cover back in place.

AM (MW) Antenna
MAM Indoor Loop Antenna
A high-performance AM loop antenna provided with the
receiver is sufficient for good reception in most areas.
Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna
‘terminals as shown. Place the antenna on a shelf, for
example, or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the
direction which gives the best reception, as far away as
’ possible from the entire system, speaker cords and the
power cord, to prevent unwanted noise.
M@ AM Outdoor Antenna
If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver
sufficient reception (because you are too far from the
transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be
necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use an
insulated wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long, strip one end,
and connect this to the terminal as shown. The antenna
wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a
window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal
to a reliable ground.
Note: Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not
disconnect the AM loop antenna.
AM Outdoor
Antenna
AM Loop Antenna
(provided)
Caution:
To avoid damaging the speakers by inputting a
sudden high-level signal, be sure to switch the power
off before connecting the speakers.
Connect each speaker to the corresponding speaker
terminals, as desired. For "Speaker Installation", refer
to page 17.
Notes:
@ When using the rear speakers, be sure to connect
them to both channels (L and R). If a speaker is con-
nected to only one channel, no sound will be heard.
e Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms
or more.
How to connect the speaker cords
Press the lever, insert the stripped and twisted
end (approx. 10 mm) of the cord, then release
the lever so that the cord is held securely.
Be sure to connect the power cord to an AC outlet which
supplies the correct voltage, as set by the voltage
selector.
AC OUTLETS
SWITCHED:
This socket switches on and off as you turn on and off
the amplifier.
Caution:
The total power consumption of the components con-
nected to the AC OUTLETS must not exceed 100W.

BASS/TREBLE Tone Controls
These two tone controls — BASS and TREBLE — can be
used to obtain a "flat" frequency response or a tone
which suits your individual listening preference. The
Bass control adjusts low frequencies and the TREBLE
control adjusts the high frequencies.
BALANCE Control
This control is used to adjust the balance between the
left and right channels. Normally set to the center
position.
LOUDNESS Button
- This button compensates for the non-linear response of
the human ear at low volumes. Set this switch to the
OFF position when listening at normal levels.
MUTING Button (on the Remote Control Unit)
Press this to mute (-20 dB) the sound from the speak-
ers and headphones when answering the telephone,
etc.
To restore the original volume, press the MUTING

SURROUND EFFECTS
When you use the surround function, the sound creates
a “live” atmosphere such as that experienced in movie
theaters and concert halls.
This unit is provided with the following surround
modes, which can be selected using the SURROUND
MODE switches.
Select the appropriate surround mode according to the
program source.
DOLBY PRO LOGIC Surround
Use this mode when.playing movie or music video, soft-
ware which carries the D0 DOLBY SURROUND mark.
This mode provides the effect of being in a movie
theater or live concert house-an effect with an intensity
which can only be obtained through DOLBY PRO LOGIC
SURROUND.
The main feature of DOLBY PRO LOGIC SURROUND is
that the separation between the various channels is
significantly improved from the 3 dB of previous
systems to 26-40 dB. As a result, the effect of the
front/back/left/right movement of the sound image, as
well as the sense of fixed position in the sound image, _
is much clearer and more dynamic than before.
In addition, movie dialogue and other sounds which
should naturally be heard from the center are output
through an independent center channel, providing a
high degree of focus for dialogue.

DOLBY 3 STEREO
Front speakers receive rear (surround) speaker signals
in addition to front speakers signals. Center speaker
works similarly as that of Dolby Pro Logic mode. In this
way, you can enjoy playback sound having superior
sound positioning.
-16-
HALL Surround
When playing recordings of live music, this mode pro-
vides a feeling similar to actually being in a concert
hall. When this mode is selected, the normal program
source is directed to the main speakers and a reverber-
ated sound is directed to the surround speakers.
This mode is suited to program sources which contain a
large amount of reverberation.
THEATER Surround
This mode provides a three dimensional effect similar
to that of movie theater. With this mode, you can enjoy
a surround effect similar to Dolby Surround sound even
when playing a video program which is not encoded
with the Dolby Surround system.
BYPASS
Use this mode when surround effects are not required.
e Each time the SURROUND MODE button on the
remote control is pressed, the surround mode
changes cyclically, as shown below.

CENTER Mode
There are 3 kinds of the center modes. Select the
desired mode suitable to your speaker system.
’ HH NORMAL Mode
Use this position when the center speaker is a compact
speaker which is not capable of fully reproducing bass
’ frequencies below 100 Hz. In this mode, the bass fre-
quencies below 100 Hz are distributed to the front left
and right speakers.
W@ WIDE Mode
Use this position when the center speaker is an equiva-
lent speaker to the front left and right speakers or when
it is capable of fully reproducing bass frequencies
below 100 Hz.
@ PHANTOM Mode
Use this position when the center speaker is not used.
The center channel sound is distributed to the left and
right front speakers.
@ Doiby 3 Stereo has only NORMAL and WIDE modes,
not PHANTOM mode which Dolby Pro Logic has
altogether with the former two modes.
Delay Time
In the surround modes, the sound from the rear
speakers should be delayed slightly, relative to that
from the front speakers. The optimum delay time will
depend on acoustic properties, whether the walls and
furnishings reflect or absorb sound, etc.
It is recommended that you try different delay times to
obtain the best effect. The delay is digitally
synthesized, for the highest sound quality with
minimum noise and.distortion.
The delay time can be set independently for each
surround mode using the DELAY TIME button, with the
current setting shown in the display.

Speaker Positioning
The installation positions of speakers differ according
to the size, and acoustics of the listening room. While
actually listening to a program source, try various
speaker positions to determine which layout provides
the best surround effect.

LOGIC surround

Center Speaker j
@ For best effect, do not install the rear speakers too far
behind the listening position and install them above
the level of the listener’s ears. It is also effective to
direct the rear speakers toward a wall or ceiling to
further disperse the sound.
@ When not using a center speaker with the DOLBY
PRO LOGIC surround function, set the center mode to
PHANTOM.
