Always set the power switch to the standby position before connecting and disconnecting connection cords. · Store this instructions in a safe place. After reading, store this instructions along with the warranty in a safe place. · Note that the illustrations in this instructions may differ from the actual set for explanation purposes. 2 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated if this unit or any other electronic equipment using microprocessors is used near a tuner or TV. If this happens, take the following steps: · Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or TV. · Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from this unit's power cord and input/output connection cords. · Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when using indoor antennas or 300 /ohms feeder wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75 /ohms coaxial cables. For heat dispersal, leave at least 10 cm of space between the top, back and sides of this unit and the wall or other components. 10 cm or more 10 cm or more Wall 4 ENGLISH 3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING · Switching the input function when input jacks are not connected A clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switched when nothing is connected to the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect components to the input jacks. · Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminals The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jacks and SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced for several seconds after the power switch is turned on or input function, surround mode or any other-set-up is changed. If the volume is turned up during this time, the output will be very high after the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait until the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume. · Whenever the power switch is in the STANDBY state, the apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage. Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave home for, say, a vacation. 4 FEATURES 1. Dolby Digital Using advanced digital processing algorithms, Dolby Digital provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround sound. Dolby Digital is the default digital audio delivery system for North American DVD and DTV. 2. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) DTS provides up to 5.1 channels of wide-range, high fidelity surround sound, from sources such as laser disc, DVD and specially-encoded music discs. 3. 24 bit D/A Conversion All six channels, including the five main channels and the low frequency effects (LFE) channel benefit from reference, for optimum high fidelity reproduction of music and movie soundtracks. 4. Video Select Function Allow you to watch one source (visual) while listening to another source (audio). 5 ENGLISH 5 CONNECTIONS · Do not plug in the AC cord until all connections have been completed. · Be sure to connect the left and right channels properly (left with left, right with right). · Insert the plugs securely. Incomplete connections will result in the generation of noise. · Use the AC OUTLETS for audio equipment only. Do not use them for hair driers, etc. · Note that binding pin plug cords together with AC cords or placing them near a power transformer will result in generating hum or other noise. · Noise or humming may be generated if a connected audio equipment is used independently without turning the power of this unit on. If this happens, turn on the power of the this unit. Connecting the audio components · When making connections, also refer to the operating instructions of the other components. The power to these outlets is turned on and off when the power is switched between on and standby from the remote control unit or power switch.
