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 "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." 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 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 m A~- 3 cart to overturn or fall. 7 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. 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. 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. 2 3 4 Owner's record For your convenience, record the model number and serial number (you will find them on the rear of your unit) in the space provided below.

Check that the rated voltage matches your local voltage. IMPORTANT Connect the speakers, antennas, and all other external equipment first. Then connect the AC cord at the end. CONNECTING EQUIPMENT Jacks and plugs of the connecting cord are color-coded as follows: Red jacks and plugs : For the right channel of audio signals White jacks and plugs: For the left channel of audio signals Yellow jacks and plugs: For video signals Insert the plugs fully into the jacks. Loose connections produce a humming sound or other noise interference. may *I Be sure to connect the VIDEO OUT terminal of a DVD player directly to aTV set, not through this unit.

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 proper balance of the speaker sound levels (see page 14). q Make sure the speakers are properly connected and positioned (see pages 3,4 and 5). q Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected q q TO SELECT A DOLBY PRO LOGIC MODE 1,? 1 Press the DOLBY SURROUND button repeatedly to select the appropriate mode.

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. The unit is equipped with a built-in test signal generator called a noise sequencer for easy balance adjustment of all five channels. The sequencer outputs a noise signal that "travels" from channel to channel, enabling the simple adjustment of sound level to achieve the same apparent loudness, at your listening position, from each channel. 1 Select the Dolby Pro Logic mode according to your current type and placement of the speakers. (See page 13.) To change the surround speakers delay time of the Dolby Pro Logic mode 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 the MANUAL SELECT button repeatedly so that "SUR" is displayed. Then, press the UPA or DOWN~ button. Each time one of the buttons is pressed, the delay time changes as shown below. 2 Press the MANUAL SELECT button and hold it down for about two seconds until "L/R OdB" appears.
