WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
PRECAUTIONS
Read the Operating Instructions carefully and completely before
operating the unit. Be sure to keep the Operating Instructions
for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the Operating
Instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well
as the safety suggestions below.
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 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).
3 Mounting surface — Place the unit on a flat, even surface.
4 VentilationThe 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 entryTake care that objects or liquids
do not get inside the unit through the ventilation openings.
6 Carts and standsWhen 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 Wall or ceiling mountingThe 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.
- 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 outlets and extension cords beyond
their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.
4 Extension cordTo 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 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.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
“CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.”

Be sure to connect the VIDEO OUT terminal of a DVD player
directly to a TV set, not through this unit. Otherwise, the picture
noise may appear when playing copy protected DVDs.
*
2
Input sound through the DIGITAL IN terminals cannot be
recorded. When recording the sound from the DVD, CD, MD
or LD player, connect the analog AUDIO OUT terminals of the
player to the corresponding AUDIO IN terminals of the receiver.
*
3
When connecting a monaural video, use a stereo-mono
connecting cord (not supplied).
*
4
When connecting an LD player equipped with the AC-3 RF
OUT terminal, use an RF demodulator unit. Also connect the
analog AUDIO OUT terminals of the LD player to the receiver
to play all the sources. For further information, refer to the
instructions of the LD player.

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 16).
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
The optimal Dolby Digital Surround and Dolby Pro Logic modes
and settings depend on the type and placement of the speakers.
It is recommended that the optional Aiwa speakers should be
used for all channels, for example, the SX-AVR2900 speaker
system.
Check the current type and placement of your speakers and
select the recommended mode accordingly.
