Water and moisture — Do not use this unit near water, such

as near a bathtub, washbowl, swimming pool, or the like.

Heat — Do not use this unit near heat sources, 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 higher than 35°C (95”F).

Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface.

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.

Objects and liquid entry — Take care that objects or liquids

do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.

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

Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources

specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on

the unit.

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,

pIease 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.

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.

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.

When

not in use— Unplug the AC power cord from the AC

power outlet 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, ANS1/NFPA70, 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,

This unit is equipped with not only the Dolby Pro Logic decoder

but also Dolby Digital decoder.

The unit and the center and surround speakers (standard) assure

full-scale home theater sound. When playing back discs or video

software that have been recorded in Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby

Digital Surround, astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the

listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment.

Independent control of the five 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 enjoying the DOLBY SURROUND sound, adjust the

speaker sound levels to the proper balance (see page 15).

● Make sure the speakers are properly connected and positioned

(see pages 4 and 5).

● Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected

(see page 3).

● Make sure the disc and video tape, etc., support Dolby Pro

Logic or Dolby Digital Surround.

SELECTING DOLBY SURROUND
