Installation

1 Water and moisture — Do not use this unit near water, such as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.
2 Heat — Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than 5°C (41°F) or greater than 35°C (95°F).
3 Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface.
4 Ventilation — The unit should be situated with adequate space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm (4 in.) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm (2 in.) from each side.
- Do not place the unit on a bed, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings.
- Do not install the unit in a bookcase, cabinet, or airtight rack where ventilation may be impeded.

5 Objects and liquid entry — Take care that objects or liquids do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.

6 Carts and stands — When placed or mounted on a stand or cart, the unit should be moved with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit or cart to overturn or fall.

7 Condensation — Moisture may form on the CD pickup lens when:

- The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot

- The heating system has just been turned on

- The unit is used in a very humid room

- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner

When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours, then try to operate again.

8 Wall or ceiling mounting — The unit should not be mounted on a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating Instructions.

Electric Power

1 Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit.
2 Polarization — As a safety feature, some units are equipped with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.

3 AC power cord

• When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
• Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this could result in fire or shock.
• Power cords should be firmly secured to avoid being severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord from the unit to the power socket.
• Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.

4 Extension cord — To help prevent electric shock, do not use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.
5 When not in use — Unplug the AC power cord from the AC power plug if the unit will not be used for several months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

Outdoor Antenna

1 Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make sure it is located away from power lines.
2 Outdoor antenna grounding — Be sure the antenna system is properly grounded to provide protection against unexpected voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and the lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the size of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals, and requirements for grounding terminals themselves.

DOLBY PRO LOGIC

The Dolby Pro Logic feature and the center and rear speakers (standard) assure full-scale home theater sound. When playing back laser discs or video software that have been recorded in Dolby Surround, astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment. Independent control of the four sound channels allows the listener to enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in movie theaters. Voices are reproduced in the front and center sound field, while ambient sounds like cars and crowds are reproduced on all sides of the listener for an incredibly lifelike audio/video experience. Please read the following carefully to "tune" the system's output to match the characteristics of your listening space.

Check the following:

• Before using the DOLBY PRO LOGIC, adjust the proper balance of speaker sound levels.
• Make sure the supplied speakers are properly connected and positioned. (See page 3)
• Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected. (See page 4)
• Make sure the laser disc, video tape, etc., support DOLEY SURROUND.

The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all four channels. The sequencer outputs a noise signal that "travels" from channel to channel, enabling the simple adjustment of sound level to achieve, at the listening position, the same apparent loudness from each channel.

Use the remote control.

1 Press the DOLBY PRO LOGIC button to select NORMAL.

NORMAL lights up in red.

If PHANTOM or 3CH - LOGIC lights up in red, press the DOLBY PRO LOGIC button repeatedly until NORMAL is selected.

2 Press the MANUAL SELECT (TEST) button and hold it down for about four seconds until "L" flashes.

A noise signal is sent to each channel in turn in the following sequence.

3 Adjust the sound level of the center and the surround speakers.

While "CEN" or "SUR" is displayed, press the DOWN ◀◀◀ or UP ▶▶◀ button to adjust the volume of the center or surround speakers to match the level of the left and right speakers.

NOTE

If the surround speakers level of the SURROUND is changed (see page 7), that of the DOLBY PRO LOGIC is also changed.

About the channels

The left and right speakers create the stereo effect.

The center speaker helps achieve precise sound positioning over a broad sound field.

The rear-mounted surround speakers enhance the "depth" of the sound field.

To change the delay time

The surround speakers reproduce sounds a split second after the front speakers. The delay is initially set to 21 ms (milliseconds).

To change this standard delay time, press the MANUAL SELECT (TEST) button on the remote control repeatedly until "TIME" is displayed. Then, press the DOWN ◀◀ or UP ▶▶I button. Each time one of the buttons is pressed, the delay time changes as shown below.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software are needed to optimize the performance of your unit.

To clean the cabinet

Use a soft and dry cloth.

If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could damage the finish of the unit.

To clean the heads and tape paths

After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are commercially available.)

When cleaning with a cotton swab, wipe the recording/playback head, erasure head (deck 2 only), capstans, and pinchrollers.

Playback head Cotton swab Capstan Capstan Pinchroller Erasure head Pinchroller

After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a liquid head cleaning cassette or a moistened swab, wait until the cleaned parts are completely dry before inserting the tapes.

To demagnetize the heads

The heads may become magnetized after long-term use. This may narrow the output range of recorded tapes and increase noise. After 20 to 30 hours use, demagnetize the heads with any commercially available demagnetizer.

Care of discs

- When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out with a cleaning cloth.

Illustration of hands holding a CD or DVD with a cloth partially covering the disc (no text or symbols)

• After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the disc in places that are hot or humid.

Care of tapes

• Store tapes in their cases after use.
• Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound quality and cause noise.
• Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight.
