Suggestions for safety
Concerning the remote control
Placement
Avoid placing the unit in areas of:
® direct sunlight
® high temperature
® high humidity
® excessive vibration
® uneven surfaces (Place the unit on a flat level surface.)
Such conditions might damage the cabinet and/or other
component parts and thereby shorten the unit's service life.
pr
Never place heavy items on top of the unit or the AC mains lead.
® |t is very dangerous to use an AC power source of high voltage
such as for an air conditioner.
A fire might be caused by such a connection.
e A DC power source can not be used.
Be sure to check the power source carefully, especially if on a
ship or other place where DC is used.
| | AC mains lead as |
® Avoid cuts, scratches or poor connection of the AC mains lead,
as this may result in fire or electric shock.
Excessive bending, pulling or slicing of the AC mains lead
should also be avoided.
e Do not pull on the AC mains lead when you are disconnecting
the power, as this could cause an electric shock. Grasp the plug
firmly when you disconnect the AC mains lead.
e Never touch the plug with wet hands or a serious electric shock
could result.
“Foreign materials
® Ensure that no foreign objects, such as needies, coins,
screwdrivers etc, accidentally fall into the unit.
Otherwise, a serious electric shock or malfunction could occur.
e Be extremely careful about spilling water or liquid on/into the
unit, as a fire or electric shock could occur.
(Disconnect the power plug and contact your dealer
immediately if this occurs.)
® Avoid spraying insecticides onto the unit as they contain
flammable gases which can be ignited.
® Insecticides, alcohol, paint thinner and similar chemicals should
never be used to clean the unit as they can cause flaking or
cloudiness to the cabinet finish.
ESA
e Never attempt to repair, disassembie or reconstruct the unit if
there seems to be a problem.
A serious electric shock could result if you ignore this
precautionary measure.
e |f a problem occurs during operation (the sound is interrupted,
indicators fail to light up, smoke is detected, etc.) contact your
dealer or Authorized Service Center immediately.
e Disconnect the AC mains lead if the unit will not be used for a

AM outdoor antenna (not included)
An outdoor antenna should be used when using this unit in
mountainous areas or in spaces enclosed by reinforced concrete
where the AM loop antenna (included) does not provide
satisfactory reception.
Stretch 5-12 m of vinyl-covered wire horizontally across a window
frame or other convenient location, keeping it as high as possible
from the ground.
When the unit is not in use, disconnect the outdoor antenna to
prevent possible damage that may be caused by lightning. Never
use an outdoor antenna during an electrical storm.
Be sure to connect the AM loop antenna even when an outdoor
antenna is used.

Basic operations
To enjoy bi-amp sound El
By using the bi-wiring feature of this unit to connect your speakers,
you are able to take advantage of two separate amplifiers for the
high frequency and low frequency ranges. This enables more highiy
defined sound reproduction of the two ranges thus producing high
quality bi-amp stereo sound.
Ensure “BI-AMP” illuminates when GIEMETS is
selected.
BI-AMP will turn off and the indicator will go out in the
following cases:
e |f any of the Dolby Pro Logic modes are turned on.
e If DVD 6CH INPUT is selected.
| To adjust the high and low balance El
Turn [BI-AMP BALANCE] to adjust the LF/HF
balance.
This adjusts the high and low frequency output of bi-wired front
speakers.
The setting depends on the speakers being used.
Adjust the balance to suit your room's acoustics and the features of
the speakers.
To adjust the subwoofer level
Turn [SUBWOOFER LEVEL] to adjust its level.
If the subwoofer isn't being used, be sure to set it to MIN.
El
To compensate when the volume is low
This button balances low volume sounds by boosting bass sound
pressure of the front speakers and subwoofer.
This function allows you to enjoy balanced sounds even if the
volume is low.
Press [SUBWOOFER ADAPTIVE CONTROL].
The message “ON” will appear on the display for 2 seconds.
“SUBWOOFER ADAPTIVE CONTROL” indicator will light up.
To return to the previous condition, press once again.
The message “OFF” will appear on the display for 2 seconds, then
the indicator turns off.
To adjust the output range of the subwoofer
Turn [SUBWOOFER LOW PASS FILTER] to select
a suitable frequency.
The setting depends on the room's acoustics, the peculiarities of the
subwoofer, and the interaction of the subwoofer and the front
speakers.
Adjustments can not be made when DVD 6CH INPUT has been
selected.

DISPLAY MODE
Enjoying RDS broadcasts
RDS (Radio data system) is a muitiplex broadcasting system.
Along with the audio signals of FM broadcasts, text information
and other signals are transmitted to help you enjoy radio more and
make tuning into programs easier. This unit can use the following
types of signals.
e PS (Program service):
The name of the station can be displayed.
e PTY (Program type):
The type of program can be displayed. This signal can also be
used to search for a type of program (= page 26). See page 28
for more information about the PTY displays.
e EON (Enhanced other networks):
This signal is used between networked stations to make it
easier for listeners to tune in to a type of program (= page 27).
e RT (Radio text):
This is text transmitted by the station. This unit can show a
maximum of 64 characters by scrolling it across the screen. The
text could be information about the song playing, traffic and
weather reports, phone-in numbers, or police information.
Some areas do not currently have PTY, EON, and RT.
To display RDS information
The display normally shows the radio frequency. When the “RDS”
indicator lights, the station is broadcasting RDS signals.
Press [DISPLAY MODE].
Each time the button is pressed, the display changes as follows.
—» (D Frequency display
O PS display
| (See below if PS is not displayed)
(9 PTY display
| (NO PTY is displayed if PTY signals are not being
; received, then the frequency is shown again.)
Y
— (O RT display
(There is no change if RT signals are not being received.)
If RDS signals are not being received, the “RDS” indicator does
not light and there is no change when the button is pressed.
For your reference
Occasionally PS isn’t displayed even if PS signals are being
received. You may be able to see PS if you change the reception
mode.
Press and hold [DISPLAY MODE].
The mode switches between “MODE 1” and “MODE 2” every time
the button is pressed and held.
If PS isn't displayed, PS signals are not being received. Restore
“MODE 1” in this case.

| EON tuning
EON tuning is useful if the type of program you want to listen to is
not currently being broadcast. It allows you to set the unit to
automatically change to a particular type of program when one
begins.
EON tuning only works if RDS data and EON signals are being
received.
EON tuning finds programs on stations that share EON signals.
Press [PTY SELECTOR (v or A)] to select the
desired program type.
Each time you press these buttons, the PTY display will
change in sequence. (For PTY displays: = page 28.)
While the PTY display is flashing (approx. 10 seconds)
Press [EON].
“EON” will light up.
The current station remains tuned in until the selected type of
program begins. When the receiver finds the type of program you
selected, “EON” appears on the display and the message “OTHER
PROGRAM SERVICE” scrolls from right to left across the display.
The receiver automatically changes over at this time. If the type of
program you selected is currently broadcasting, the receiver will
immediately change to that station.
EON tuning turns OFF if you operate the tuner (= pages 20-24),
change the input source, or turn the unit OFF.
When “NO EON” is displayed:
The broadcast you are presently receiving does not provide EON
service.
To check the program type while on reception standby:
Press [PTY SELECTOR (V or Aj].
The program type last selected will be displayed for approximately
2 seconds. (“EON” will flash.)
If you press one of the buttons again while the program type is
being displayed, you will turn EON tuning OFF.
To cancel EON tuning:
