Corporation, and is intended for homeand other limited
viewinguses only, unless otherwiseauthorizedby Macrovision
Corporation. Reverseengineeringor disassembly is prohibited.
PLACING THE RECEIVER
Do not placeobjects directly on top of thereceiver as it could
prevent proper heat dispersal.
When installingin arack or shelf, besuretoleavemorethan 8
inches of spaceaboveand behind thereceiver.
MAKING CABLE CONNECTIONS
Becareful nottobend cables over thetopof thereceiver. If
cables areplaced on top of thereceiver, themagnetic field
produced by thereceiver’s transformers can causethespeakers
to producea hummingnoise.
USING DISCS
When usingdiscs, you must always takethefollowing
precautions:
• Do not touch theplayback sideof thedisc.
• Do not attach paper or tapeto discs.
• Do not storediscs in a placesubject to direct sunlight or
near heat sources.
• Do not storediscs in places subject to moistureand dust
such as abathroom or near a humidifier.
• Storediscs vertically in acase. Stackingor placingobjects
on discs outsideof their casemay causewarping.
Cleaning Discs
Fingerprints and dust on thedisc causepictureand sound
deterioration. Wipethedisc from thecenter outward with a

When watching DVD movies encoded in Dolby Digital
Surround Sound, you can use Night Mode to compress
large dynamic audio ranges, resulting in "quieter" expl-
osions and other loud sounds in movies. The Night Mode
feature adjusts the dynamic audio range so that there is
less difference in the output of all sounds in a movie
(explosions, music, dialogue and so on).
While in Dolby Digital or Dolby Digital Stereo mode, press
NIGHT MODE to turn Night Mode on. Press NIGHT MODE
again to turn it off.
