Connect your speakers to the receiver.

This receiver allows you to use a 5.1 channel speaker system.

To l'_dly enjoy theater-like muhi channel surround sound requires five speakers (two front speakers, a center speaker, and two surround speakers) and a sub woofer (5.1 channel).

You can adjust from t.0

If both front speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.

• i_ DIST.

X.X m (XX ft.)

(Center speaker distance)

Initial setting: 3.0 m (I0 ft.)

Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker.

Center speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (t_) to a distance 1.5 meters (5 feet) closer to your listening position (_)).

(Surround speaker distance)

Initial setting: 3.0 m (I0 ft.)

LeTs you set the distance from your listening position to the surround speakers.

Surromsd speaker distance should be set from a distance equal to the front speaker distance (t_) to a distance 4.5 meters (t 5 feet) closer to your listening position (0).

If both surround speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance to the closest speaker.

Tip

The receiver lets you to input the speaker position its terms of distance, ttowever, it is not possible to set the center speaker fursher than the front speakers.

Also, the center speaker cannot be ses more that t .5 meters (5 feet) closer than the front speakers.

Likewise, the surround speakers cannot be set fursher away from the listening position than the front speakers.

And they cats be no more than 4.5 meters (t 5 feet) closer.

This is because incorrect speaker placement is not conducive to the enjoyment of surround sound.

Please note That, setting the speaker distance closes- than the actual location of the speakers wilt cause a delay its the output of the sound from that speaker.

Its other words, the speaker wilt sound like it is fursher away.

For example, sening the center speaker distance t 2 meters (3 6 feet) closer than the actual speaker position will create a fairly realistic sensation of being

"inside" the screen.

If you cannot obtain a satisfactory surround effect because the surround speakers are too close, setting the surround speaker distance closer

(shorter) than the acmat distance will create a larger sound stage.

Adjusting these parameter while listening to the sound often results its much better surround sound.

On safety

Should any solid object or liquid t:all into the cabineT, unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

Before operating the receiver, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply.

The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the receiver.

• The receiver is not disconnected from The AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the receiver itself has been turned off.

If you are not going to use the receiver for a long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver from The wall outlet.

To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself: never pull the cord.

• (Models of area code U only)

One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.

• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On heat buildup

Although the receiver heats up during operation, this is not a matfimction.

If you continuously use this receiver at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably.

To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.

On placement

• Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the receiver.

• Do not place the receiver near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.

• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet that might block the ventilation holes and cause matfimctions.

• Use caution when placing the receiver or speakers on surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.

On operation

Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off and unplug the receiver.

If you encounter nearby TV screen color irregularity on a

The front and center speakers and the sub _oofer are magnetically shielded to allow it to be installed near a TV seT. However, color irregularities may still be observed on certain types of TV sets. As the surround speakers are not magnetically shielded, we recommend that you place the surround speakers slightly further away from TV set (page 8).

If color irregularity is observed...

Turn off the TV set once, then mm it on again after t5 to 30 minutes.

If color irregularity is observed again...

Place the speaker further away from the TV set.

If howling occurs

Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on the receiver.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened _ith a mild detergent solution.

Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.
