Before using this unit please read these operating instructions carefully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below. Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.

Safety

1. Power Source—The unit should be connected to power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the unit.
2. Polarization—If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
3. Power Cord Protection—AC power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.
4. Nonuse Periods—When the unit is not used, turn the power off. When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Note

The included AC power supply cord is for use with this unit only. Do not use it with other equipment.

Placement of speakers

Front speakers

Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that there is good coherency between the picture and sound.

Center speaker

Place underneath or above the center of the TV. Aim the speaker at the seating area.

Surround speakers

Place on the side of or slightly behind the listening position, about one meter higher than ear level.

Subwoofer

The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a reasonable distance from the TV.

Note that some experimentation can yield the smoothest low frequency performance. Placement near a corner can increase the apparent output level, but can result in unnatural bass.

Connecting speakers

Other connections are possible depending on your speaker system. See your speaker system's operating instructions for details.

Dolby Pro Logic

Dolby Digital

DTS

Digital Signal Processor (DSP)

You can take advantage of the following modes with this unit.

STEREO mode

Use this mode when you want to listen to stereo sources, whether they are digital or analog, or when you want to playback Dolby Digital or DTS sources through two channels. The sounds usually fed through the other speakers are down-mixed so they are output through the left and right front speakers. There may be some change in the overall sound when surround sources are down-mixed.

SURROUND mode

By selecting this mode while digital input is being used, the unit automatically determines the kind of digital source being used (Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround, or DTS), and processes it accordingly. Select this mode also when you are playing back an analog source, VCR for example, that has been recorded in Dolby Surround.

Digital Signal Processor (DSP)

SFC modes

The SFC (Sound Field Control) function gives presence and spread thereby enhancing and enriching the music or movie. Read the following explanations better understand how to make your selection.

Note

SFC is designed to add surround-like effects to stereo sources. Select the appropriate mode when playing back Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround sources.

HALL

This mode imparts a reflection and spread which will make you feel as if you are in a large concert hall.

CLUB

Like a jazz club, this mode provides an exciting and intimate atmosphere. It simulates the sound field of a relatively small room having a low ceiling and hard reflective surfaces, for a "live" sound with enhanced presence to bring the performers up close.

LIVE

Primarily for vocal pieces, this mode adds gloss to the vocals and you'll feel as though you were hearing a live stage performance.

THEATER

You can clearly perceive the directions and source of the movie. Real ambience of sound can also be recreated naturally using this mode.

SIM SURR (SIMULATED)

Choose this mode if little or no sound will be heard from the surround speakers.

You can feel as if you were in a more expanded space adding to the actual sound from the source.

This mode also adds effect to monaural sources by outputting sound from surround speakers.

If the beginning of a track is cut off when playing CDs

The beginning of a track may not be heard if you play CDs in STEREO mode.

You can solve this by engaging the PCM FIX mode.

Press and hold [DIGITAL INPUT] for four seconds.

"PCM FIX" appears on the display.

This mode can be selected for each source, but is cancelled when the unit is turned off.

Note

• The PCM FIX mode can be selected in STEREO mode only.
• Dolby Digital and DTS sources cannot be played while PCM FIX mode is on.
• Noise can occur if DTS sources are played while PCM FIX mode is engaged. To avoid this, be sure to turn PCM FIX mode off after use.

If reception is weak or "TUNED" fails to light completely while playing the radio

Press and hold [-DSP ON/DEFEAT] until "DEFEAT" appears on the display.

Press and hold again to turn DSP on. The STEREO mode is selected.

This allows you to play back sound without it passing through the digital signal processor (DSP). When this is selected, no sound will go through the center or surround speakers or the subwoofer.

Note

When "DEFEAT" is selected the sound mode indicators (STEREO, SURROUND and SFC) go out and these modes can not be selected.

Listening caution

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a sale level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend you to avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

- Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

Maintenance

If the surfaces are dirty

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in a soap-and-water solution or a weak detergent solution.

• Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.
• Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with the cloth carefully.
