READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT

FOR U.S.A. AND CANADA ...............................120 V

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Units shipped to the U.S.A. and Canada are designed for operation on 120 V AC only.

Observe all safety precautions with use of a polarized AC plug.

However, some products may be supplied with a nonpolarized plug.

CAUTION : To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

FOR OTHER COUNTRIES ...................... 110 V/220 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 switch on the rear panel is 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 this switch matches your line voltage. If not, it must be set to your voltage in accordance with the following direction.

FOR EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA .........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 230-240 V

AC.

System Connections

When making system connections, please be certain the AC cord is not plugged into an AC outlet.

When making connections between components, please be sure to connect the white RCA plugs to the L(left) and the red

RCA plugs to the R (right) jacks respectively.

Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best possible reception of your favorite FM stations.

A 75 ohm outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception. Disconnect the indoor antenna before connecting the outdoor antenna.

Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set if to a direction it to a for the best reception.

If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used with the AM loop antenna.

Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, it can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.

If the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for more than 2 weeks, the memorized contents will be lost.

Memorize them again.

Operations

ADJUSTING SPEAKER SETTINGS

Adjusting the speaker settings

This receiver is equipped with circuitry that allows the use of a wide range of speaker systems.

This circuitry works by redirecting the bass frequencies or the entire channel to speakers that are capable of reproducing them.

When a large or full range speaker capable of deep bass response is used for one of the channels, that channel should be set to L.

When a small or satellite speaker with limited bass capability is used, that channel should be set to S.

Deep bass from that channel will be redirected to the main left and right speakers or to the subwoofer.

When there is no speaker available, that channel should be set to N. All the information in that channel will be redirected to other available speakers.

ADJUSTING DELAY TIMES

Adjusting delay times of the speakers in Dolby Digital(AC-3),

Dolby Pro Logic and the DSP modes

Your receiver allows you to optimize the arrival time of the sound from your speakers. This can help focus the audio image and add enjoyment to your home theater experience.

Measure the distance from the prime listening position to each of the speakers to the nearest foot.

-In the Dolby Digital mode, the optimum performance of your system occurs when the sound from all five speakers arrives at your primary listening position at the same time. If all speakers are equidistant from the main listening position, set the following delay.

Center delay time : 0 mS, Rear delay time : 0 mS

If the center speaker is closer to your prime listening position than the average distance to the left and right main speakers add 1 mS of center channel delay for each foot of difference. The maximum is 5 mS.

If the surround speakers are closer to your main listening position than the main left and right speakers add 5 mS of surround channel delay for each 5 feet of difference. The maximum is 15 mS.

-In Dolby Pro Logic and the three DSP modes rear channel delay can be adjusted to add spaciousness to the presentation and to minimize any sibilant leakage into the surround channels.

If the surround speakers are the same distance from your primary listening position as your main left and right front speakers, set the Rear Delay time at 15 mS.

If the surround speakers are further from your listening position than the main left and right front speakers, set the rear delay at 10 mS.

If the surround speakers are closer to your main listening position than the main left and right speakers add 5 mS of surround channel delay for each 5 feet of difference. The maximum is 30 mS.

Downmixing into 2 front channels

Allows the multi-channel DTS or Dolby Digital(AC-3) signal to be reproduced through only two speakers or through headphones.
