Safety
1. Power sourceConnect the unit to a power source of the type described in these instructions or as marked on the unit. 2. Polarization The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug where one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesnt fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesnt fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the plug. 3. Power cord protectionRoute the AC power supply cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it. 4. Overloading When connecting the AC power supply cord, be careful not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other device as this can result in fire or electric shock. 5. Nonuse periodsTurn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit during lightning storms. 6. Attachments and accessories Use only the attachments and accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

Adjusting speaker output level

Adjust the level of the other speakers based on the output of the front speakers. (Adjust the volume of the front speakers with [VOLUME].)

Change the cut-off for bass output from the front speakers
If you set the front speakers to SMALL, the filter is set to 100 Hz. Raise the cut-off if the bass from the front speakers is unsatisfactory so the bass is output through the subwoofer. You can raise the cut-off from 100 Hz to either 150 Hz or 200 Hz.

Change these settings to suit the connections you have made to the three digital input terminals, COAX, OPT 1 and OPT 2, so that the correct source is selected when you turn [INPUT SELECTOR]. The factory settings are: CD: COAX DVD: OPT 2 TV: OPT 1

C (center), SR (surround right), and SL (surround left) can be adjusted between 10 dB and +10 dB, with 0 being the level of the front speakers. Adjust center and surround output to the same apparent level of the front speakers. For SW (subwoofer), you can select --- so there is no output, MIN for minimum output, a level between 1 and 19, or MAX for maximum output. Adjust subwoofer output so it is balanced with the front speakers. Subwoofer output is easily influenced by the source. You can also change its level while playing something for better effect (\ page 13). Preparation: Turn SPEAKERS on.

Listening caution
THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.

CAUTION:
EST. 1924

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now its time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associations Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortionand, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing comfort level adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds normal can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level: Start your volume control at a low setting. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: Set the dial and leave it there. Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment would void the users authority to operate this device. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
