Placement of speakers
As well as enjoying normal stereo reproduction with the left and
right front speakers, a center speaker and surround speakers
can also be connected to the main unit in order to enjoy the
sound performance of Dolby Pro Logic Systems and the SFC
function,
The illustration below shows where to place the speakers so as to
best enjoy sound with Dolby Pro Logic systems and the SFC func-
tion.
We recommend that surround speakers be placed on the side of
or slightly behind the listener, and about one meter higher than
ear level,
However the position should be adjusted to your personal
preference, because the effect varies to some degree depending
upon the type of music and the music source.

A total of 30 FM and AM stations can be preset.
How is presetting done?
The two following methods are available.
* Automatic memory presetting
Automatic memory presetting allows this unit to automatical-
ly search for broadcast stations and then preset them into
memory.
With this function, searching proceeds from the frequency
currently being displayed and continues through higher fre-
quency, and broadcast stations are preset In the order In
which they are located.
With this method, the channels that can be presst Into the
memory are set as follows for different bands,
For United Kingdom
Channel
For Australia and N.Z.
Channel
1 | 2 | 20/21! 3
+ AM >
+ FM ,
For example, after presetting the FM band, if the MW (or
AM) band is preset, the previous presettings in the sections
in the above illustration which overlap will be erased and the
subsequent settings will be preset. Therefore, the FM band
stations will be kept for channels 1 —20 and the MW (or AM)
band stations will be preset to channels 21—30.
* Manual memory presetting
The desired broadcast stations can be preset Into the
desired channels by the user,
This can also be used as a method for changing selected
broadcast stations that were preset in “Automatic memory
presetting”.
If a new broadcast station is preset into a channel, the set-
ting for the broadcast station which was previously entered
in that channel will be automatically erased.

Problem
Probable cause(s)
Suggested remedy
While listening to FM broadcasts
An unusual hissing noise is
heard when listening to the
broadcast in stereo, but not
heard when listening
monaurally.
A slight noise may be heard because the method
used for modulation of FM stereo broadcasts is
different than that used for monaural broadcasts.
Noise is excessive in both
stereo and monaural broad-
casts.
Poor location and/or direction of the antenna
Transmitting station is too far away.
* Try reducing the treble sound by using the treble con.
trol.
* Try changing the location, height and/or direction of
the antenna.
* If an indoor antenna is being used, change to an
outdoor antenna,
* Try using an antenna with more elements.
The FM stereo indicator or
the quariz lock indicator
flickers, without completely
INuminating.
Poor location and/or direction of the antenna
Transmitting station is too far away.
Excessive distortion In the
sound of stereo broad-
casts.
Nearby building or mountain
* Try changing the location, height and/or direction of
the antenna,
* If an indoor antenna Is being used, change to an
outdoor antenna.
* Try using an antenna with more elements.
While listening to MW/LW (For Australia and N.Z.: AM) broadcasts
An unusual “beat” sound Is
heard.
The unit is being used at the same time as the
television set.
* Turn off the television set, or use this unit farther
away from it.
Interference from adjacent broadcast signals
* Try reducing the treble sound by using the treble con-
trol.
A low-pitched “hum” sound
is heard when the
broadcast is tuned.
The AM loop antenna connection wires are too
close to the power cord.
* Place the antenna connection wires and the power
cord farther apart.
A strange hissing noise is
produced continuousiy or
Intermittently,
Caused by the "discharge phenomenon” and the
“oscillation phenomenon” of electric appliances
(such as fluorescent lights, TV, small series-type
motors, rectification equipment, etc.).
* Try placing this unit farther away from such equip-
ment.
Problems noted at all times
Power will not switch ON.
The power cord plug is not completely inserted.
* Confirm that the power cord plug is connected
completely.
No sound Is heard.
Both A and B speakers are turnd OFF.
The tape monitor function is ON.
The muting function is ON.
* Press the HELP button. (The display will scroll
through the causes of the problem.) Use this display
as a guide to remedy the problem.
Connections are incomplete or incorrect to the
speaker systems, etc.
* Check to be sure that all connection wires are
correctly connected.
The incorrect input selector has been pressed.
* Check to be sure that the correct selector is
pressed.
Sound stops during a
performance, or no sound
Is heard when the power is
switched ON.
(The word “OVERLOAD”
appears on the display.)
The protection circuitry has functioned because
the positive and negative speaker connection
wires are “shorted”. Speaker systems with an
impedance less than the indicated rated
impedance of this unit are used or under severe
use, such as loud volume, excessive power and in
an excessively hot environment.
e Switch off the power, and after determining and
correcting the cause, switch ON the power once
again.
* Use a speaker system of the proper Impedance
rating.
The word “ERROR”
appears on the display.
When the Dolby Pro Logic system is ON, both A
and B speakers are turnd ON.
When both A and B speakers are being used
simultanecusiy, the Dolby Pro Logic system is
turned ON.
e Press the HELP button.
(The display will scroll through the causes of the pro-
blem.)
