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 clearance from the rear and the top of the unit, and 5 cm 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

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 is not still inserted easily 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.

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 4).
Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected (see page 4).
Make sure the laser disc, video tape, etc., support DOUBY SURROUND
The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all 5 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 DOLBY PRO LOGIC to select NORMAL. "NORMAL" is displayed. If "PHANTOM" or "3 STEREO" is displayed, press DOLBY PRO LOGIC repeatedly until "NORMAL" is selected.
2 Press MANUAL SELECT (TEST) and hold it down for about 4 seconds until "L" flashes.
A noise signal is sent to each channel in turn in the following sequence.
L: Left speaker CEN: Center speaker R: Right speaker S-L: Left surround speaker S-R: Right surround speaker
3 Adjust the sound level of the center and the surround speakers.
While "CEN", "S-R" or "S-L" is displayed, press or to adjust the volume of the center or surround speakers to match the level of the left and right speakers.
To adjust the balance between the left and right speakers, see page 6. At this time, the DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode should be canceled by pressing DOLBY PRO LOGIC until the "P-OFF" is displayed.
4 Press MANUAL SELECT (TEST) again to stop the noise signal.
NOTE
- If the surround speakers or the center speaker level of the DOLBY PRO LOGIC is changed, that of the DSP SURROUND system (page 7) and the DOLBY DIGITAL SURROUND (page 20) is also changed.
- While "S-R" or "S-L" is displayed, both surround speakers output the noise signal together. However, only the sound level of one surround speaker displayed as "S-R" or "S-L" can be adjusted.
- When the sequencer outputs a noise signal, a clicking sound might be heard from the speakers due to the characteristics of the circuit. This is not malfunction.
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 20 ms (milliseconds).
To change this standard delay time, press MANUAL SELECT (TEST) on the remote control repeatedly in NORMAL or PHANTOM mode until "TIME" is displayed. Then, press the or . Each time one of the buttons is pressed, the delay time changes as shown below.
PLAY WITH DOLBY PRO LOGIC
1 Press the VIDEO/AUX/PHONO and start playback of the video source.
2 Press DOLBY PRO LOGIC.
NORMAL is selected, and the playback sound has the DOLBY PRO LOGIC effect.
To cancel DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode
Press DOLBY PRO LOGIC repeatedly until "P-OFF" is displayed.
To change the sound levels during playback
After adjusting the balance with the noise sequencer, the sound levels of the center or surround speakers can be adjusted during playback of laser discs or video software.
1 Press MANUAL SELECT (TEST) on the remote control repeatedly to select "CEN" (center), "S-R" (surround right) or "S-L" (surround left).
2 While the "CEN", "S-R" or "S-L" is displayed, press on the remote control to adjust the volume.
ADDITIONAL DOLBY PRO LOGIC MODES
In addition to the NORMAL mode, this unit is also equipped with the PHANTOM and the 3 STEREO modes.
PHANTOM mode: Use this mode when no center speaker is connected. The center channel signals are output through the left and right speakers.
3 STEREO mode: Use this mode when no surround speakers are connected. This mode reproduces rear sounds through the front speakers.
To select PHANTOM or 3 STEREO
Press DOLBY PRO LOGIC repeatedly until the desired DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode is displayed. The DOLBY PRO LOGIC mode is displayed cyclically as follows.
To adjust the balance of connected speaker sound levels
Carry out steps 2 to 4 on page 15.
NOTE
Depending on the sound source and/or listening conditions, surround effect may not be obtained even when the DOLBY PRO LOGIC is on.
- The full DOLBY PRO LOGIC effect cannot be obtained when using software without DOLBY SURROUND mark.
The DOLBY PRO LOGIC is automatically canceled when:

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 1 only), capstans, and pinchrollers.
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.
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.
