CAUTION
Do not place anything on top of this unit or block the heat
radiation vents in any way In particular, do not place tape decks
or CD/DVD players on this unit as heat radiated from it can
damage your software

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment Now it’s time
to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most
out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or
distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive
hearing
We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise
Sound can be deceiving Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound So what sounds “normal” can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts
To establish a safe level
l Start your volume control at a low setting
l Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion
Once you have established a comfortable sound level
l Set the dial and leave it there
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage or loss in the future After all, we want you listening for a
lifetime
- THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U S A -
CAUTION:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures
l Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
0 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
@Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected
l Consult the dealer or an experienced radionV technician for
help
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment
would void the user’s authority to operate this device
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules Operation
is subject to the following two conditions (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation

Before using this unit please read these operating instructions
carefully Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the
unit itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below
Afterwards keep them handy for future reference
Power Source - The unit should be connected to power
supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or
as marked on the unit
Polarization - If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power
plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug
will fit into the AC outlet only one way This is a safety feature If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug
Power Cord Protection - AC power supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them Never take hold of the plug
or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body
when connecting or disconnecting it
Nonuse Periods - When the unit is not used, turn the power
off When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should
be unplugged from the household AC outlet
I
Environment I
1 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSVNFPA No 70-l 990, provides information
with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode See figure below

SIZE
Change to suit the speakers you have connected
LARGE For speakers that can reproduce a full sound range,
particularly the bass range below 100 Hz

FILTER
This setting allows you to change the cut-off for bass output from
the front speakers If you set the front speakers to “SMALL”, the
filter is set to 100 Hz Raise the cut-off if the bass from the front
speakers is unsatisfactory so that this bass is output through the
subwoofer
You can raise the cut-off from 100 Hz to either 150 Hz or 200 Hz

DSP
SOUND MODE DIGITAL INPUT
The digital sound processor (DSP) in this unit can decode Dolby
Digital signals It automatically determines the type of signal, PCM
or Dolby Digital, and processes it accordingly
The DSP can add surround-like effects to stereo sources (analog or
PCM signals)
Choose from the STEREO, SURROUND, or SFC modes
The DSP may interfere with radio reception You can turn it off if this
occurs (I) page 20)
Output is in stereo when you turn the DSP off so sound is only
heard through the front speakers
l PCM with a sampling frequency of 44 1 kHz is the digital signal
format normally found on CDs Some DVDs also use this format
but often with a higher sampling rate
*This unit cannot process other digital signal formats, such as
DTS, PCM signals with sampling frequencies of 96 kHz and
192 kHz, and MPEG
Use this mode to play digital or analog stereo sources or to play
surround sources through two speakers When surround sources
are played in this mode, the sounds intended for the other speaker
channels are played through the front speakers
Select this mode when you are playing a Dolby Digital surround
source or an analog source that is recorded with Dolby Surround
(VCR, for example)
Changing the recognition mode
In rare cases, the unit may have trouble recognizing the digital
signals on discs With the PCM signals on CDs, this may cause the
beginning of a track to be cut off Engage the PCM FIX mode if this
occurs
This mode does not need to be changed under normal
circumstances Change it only if the unit appears to be having
trouble recognizing the software you are playing
