Safety precautions
Placement
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These conditions
can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby shortening the
units service life.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.
Voltage
Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the unit and
cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when setting
the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.
AC mains lead protection
Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not damaged. Poor
connection and lead damage can cause fire or electric shock. Do not
pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC mains
lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric shock.
Foreign matter
Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause electric shock
or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock or
malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from the
power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain flammable
gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.
Service
Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is interrupted,
indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other problem that is not
covered in these instructions occurs, disconnect the AC mains lead and
contact your dealer or an authorized service center. Electric shock or
damage to the unit can occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or
reconstructed by unqualified persons.
Extend operating life by disconnecting the unit from the power source if it
is not to be used for a long time.

Placement of speakers
A
C
The front, center, and surround speakers should be placed at
approximately the same distance from the seating area. The angles
in the diagram are approximate.
Front speakers (A left B right)
Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that there is
good coherency between the picture and sound.
Center speaker (C)
Place underneath or above the center of the TV. Aim the speaker at the
seating area.
Surround speakers (D left E right)
Place slightly behind the seating area, about one meter higher than ear
level.
Subwoofer (F)
The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a
reasonable distance from the TV.
Note that some experimentation can yield the smoothest low frequency
performance. Placement near a corner can increase the apparent output
level, but can result in unnatural bass.

In rare cases, the unit may have trouble recognizing the digital signals on
discs.
¡ With the PCM signals on CDs, this may cause the beginning of a track
to be cut off. Engage the PCM FIX mode if this occurs.
¡ With DTS, the signals may not be recognized at all. Engage the DTS
FIX mode if this occurs.
While the input source is selected and digital input is engaged:
Press and hold [DIGITAL INPUT].
The current mode is displayed. Press again to change the mode.
Each time you press the button:
AUTO
/ PCM FIX / DTS FIX
When a FIX mode is on, the unit cannot process other signals. This may
cause noise to be output. Select
AUTO
if this occurs.
The selected mode is stored for each input source even if the unit is
turned off.
Notes on using the Digital Signal Processor
The digital signal processor in this unit can decode the following
signals:
¡¡
Dolby Digital
¡¡
DTS
¡¡
PCM
It cannot decode:
¡ Other digital signals, such as MPEG
¡ PCM with sampling frequencies of 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz or
192 kHz
¡ Dolby Digital RF signals from a laser disc player
Use this mode to play digital or analogue stereo sources or to
play surround sources through two speakers. When surround
sources are played in this mode, the sounds intended for the
other speaker channels are played through the front speakers.
Select this mode when you are playing a digital surround source
(Dolby Digital or DTS).
Also select this mode when playing analogue or digital stereo
sources. The Dolby Pro Logic
2 processor
works not only on sources recorded with Dolby
Surround, but also on any stereo source. The
following modes are available when using
Dolby Pro Logic
2.
Enjoy an enhanced sound experience with greater presence and
spread by using these SFC (sound field control) modes with
PCM or analogue stereo sources.
The SFC modes cannot be used if the
input signal is Dolby Digital or DTS.
