Be sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and to improve sound quality. Speakers are usually designed with a partcular placement in mind. Some are designed to be floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be placed near a wall, others should be placed away from walls. Follow the guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your speakers. A Front speakers B D A Use magnetically shielded speakers, if you are using them near your TV. Place the front speakers in front of the listening position, to the left and right of the TV. Front speakers are required for all surround modes. B Center speaker C C REAR (LEFT) REAR (RIGHT) 3-D View of speaker Set up Use a magnetic shielded speaker, if you are using it near your TV. Place the center speaker between the front speakers, on or below the TV. This speaker stabilizes the sound image. Be sure to connect a center speaker when using the DOLBY 3 STEREO mode. If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by other suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes. C Rear speakers Install these speakers above the level of the listener's ears, to the left and right. Do not install the surround speakers too far behind the listening position. It might be effective to direct the rear speakers towards a wall or ceiling to further disperse the sound. D Subwoofer Reproduces powerful and deep bass sounds. Use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier referred to as a "powered sub-woofer". Subwoofers are most effective when placed on or near the floor and in a corner of the room. Refer to the instructions that came with your sub-woofer for placement suggestions. 16 1 2 Connecting Antennas A AM Indoor Loop Antenna The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas. To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the slot. Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna terminals as shown. (Connect the white wire to the right terminal, and the black wire to the left terminal.) Place the antenna on a shelf, for example, or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best reception, as far away as possible from the entire system, speaker cords and the power cord, to prevent unwanted noise. If there is no room for the AM loop antenna, you may mount it on the wall using screws (not supplied). B A BLACK WHITE B AM Outdoor Antenna If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use an insulated wire more than 15 ft (5 m) long, strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown. The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground. Note: Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna. C C FM Indoor Antenna D Connect the FM antenna supplied to the FM 75 socket, and position so that a good reception is received. D FM Outdoor Antenna In an area where FM signals are weak, it may be necessary to use an outdoor FM antenna. Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements. 17 Names of Each Control 1 1 2 3 4 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 Front Panel Overview 1 DVD OPEN/ CLOSE 2 DISC TRAY (DVD DECK) 3 Cassette compartment (VCR DECK) 4 VCR EJECT 5 VOLUME 6 PLAY 7 STOP 8 PAUSE 9 CHANNELb/5 10 11 COPY REC 12 Display Window 13 Remote Sensor 14 SURROUND 15 FUNCTION 16 SKIP/ TUNING 17 VIDEO IN / AUDIO IN Connect the audio/video output of an external source (Audio system, TV/Monitor Auother VCR) 18 POWER 18 Names of Each Control 2 1 2 3 20 DVD SLEEP MUTE VCD MP3 DVD RA.
