Getting Started
Before Installation
General Precautions
•DO NOT insert any metal object into the unit.
•DO NOT disassemble the unit or remove screws, covers, or
cabinet.
•DO NOT expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Locations
•Install the unit in a location that is level and protected from
moisture.
•The temperature around the unit must be between –5˚C and 35˚C
(23˚F and 95˚F).
•Make sure there is good ventilation around the unit. Poor
ventilation could cause overheating and damage the unit.
Handling the unit
•DO NOT touch the power cord with wet hands.
•DO NOT pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When
unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage
the cord.
•Keep the power cord away from the connecting cords and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. It
is recommended to use a coaxial cable for antenna connection,
since it is well-shielded against interference.
•When a power failure occurs, or when you unplug the power cord,
the preset settings such as preset FM/AM channels and sound
adjustments may be erased in a few days.
Checking the Supplied Accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the following supplied accessories.
The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the pieces
supplied.
• Remote Control (1)
• Batteries (2)
• AM Loop Antenna (1)
• FM Antenna (1)
If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.
Parts Identification/Getting Started
Putting Batteries in the Remote Control
Before using the remote control, put two supplied batteries first.
•When using the remote control, aim the remote control directly at
the remote sensor on the unit.
1
On the back of the remote control, remove the
battery cover.
2
Insert batteries.
•Make sure to match the polarity: (+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
3
Replace the cover.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace
the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(15F) type dry-cell batteries.
CAUTION:
Follow these precautions to avoid leaking or cracking cells:
•Place batteries in the remote control so they match the polarity:
(+) to (+) and (–) to (–).
•Use the correct type of batteries. Batteries that look similar may
differ in voltage.
•Always replace both batteries at the same time.
•Do not expose batteries to heat or flame.

AM antenna connection
Connect the supplied AM loop antenna to the AM LOOP
terminals.
Turn the loop until you have the best reception.
•If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-
covered wire (not supplied) to the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the
AM loop antenna connected.)
Notes:
•If the AM loop antenna wire is covered with vinyl,
remove the vinyl while twisting it as shown to the
right.
•Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords and power cord.
This could cause poor reception.
Outdoor FM antenna (not supplied)
If FM reception is poor, connect outdoor FM
antenna.
FM antenna (supplied)
Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.
Getting Started
FM antenna connection
Connect the supplied FM antenna to the FM 75 Ω COAXIAL
terminal as temporary measure.
Extend the supplied FM antenna horizontally.
•If the reception is poor, connect an outdoor FM antenna (not
supplied). Before attaching a 75 Ω coaxial cable (with a
standard type connector), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Video component connections
Use the cables with RCA pin plugs (not supplied).
Connect the white plug to the audio left jack, the red plug to the
audio right jack, and the yellow plug to the video jack.
•If video components have S-video (Y/C-separation) and/or
component video (Y, PB/CB, PR/CR) terminals, connect them using
an S-video cable (not supplied) and/or component video cable (not
supplied). By using these terminals, you can get a better picture
quality in the order — Component video > S-video > Composite
video.
IMPORTANT:
This unit is equipped with the following video terminals ; composite
video, S-video and component video terminals. You can use any of
these three to connect a video component.
However, remember that the video signals from one type of these
input terminals are output only through the video output
terminals of the same type.
Therefore, if a recording video component and a playing video
component are connected to the unit through the different types of
video terminals, you cannot record the picture from the playing
component onto the recording component. In addition, if the TV and a
playing video component are connected to the unit through the
different types of video terminals, you cannot view the playback
picture from the playing component on the TV.

Connecting the Power Cord
Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all
connections have been made.
Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Keep the power cord away from the connecting cables and the
antenna. The power cord may cause noise or screen interference. We
recommend that you use a coaxial cable to connect the antenna,
since it is well-shielded against interference.
CAUTIONS:
•Do not touch the power cord with wet hands.
•Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the cord. When
unplugging the cord, always grasp the plug so as not to damage
the cord.
Digital connections
This receiver is equipped with four DIGITAL IN terminals — one
digital coaxial terminal and three digital optical terminals, and one
DIGITAL OUT terminal.
You can connect any digital equipments such as — :
•DBS tuner,
•Digital TV broadcast tuner,
•DVD player,
•CD player, and
•CD recorder.
IMPORTANT:
•When connecting the DVD player, digital TV broadcast tuner or DBS
tuner using the digital terminals, you also need to connect it to the
video jack on the rear. Without connecting it to the video jack, you
can view no playback picture.
•After connecting the components using the DIGITAL IN terminals,
set the following correctly if necessary:
–Set the digital input (DIGITAL IN) terminal setting correctly. For
details, see “Setting the Digital Input (DIGITAL IN) Terminals” on
page 14.
–Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see “Selecting
the Analog or Digital Input Mode” on page 15.

Dynamic range compression
You can compress the dynamic range (difference between maximum
sound and minimum sound) of the reproduced sound. This is useful
when enjoying surround sound at night.
•This function takes effect only when playing back a source
encoded with Dolby Digital.
1
Press SETTING repeatedly until
“D. COMP (Dynamic range
compression)” (with the current setting)*
appears on the display.
*“MID” is the initial setting. If you have already changed the

2
Press CONTROL UP 5/DOWN ∞
to select the appropriate compression
level.
•Each time you press the button, the
display changes as follows:
OFF : Select this when you want to enjoy surround with its
full dynamic range. (No effect applied.)
MID : Select this when you want to reduce the dynamic range
a little.
MAX : Select this when you want to apply the compression
effect fully. (Useful at night.)
Crossover frequency
Small speakers cannot reproduce the bass sounds efficiently. If you
use a small speaker in any position, this receiver automatically
reallocates the bass sound elements assigned from small speaker to
large speakers.
To use this function properly, set this crossover frequency level
according to the size of the small speaker connected.
•If you have selected “LARGE” for all speakers, this function will
not take effect.
•Crossover frequency is not valid for the DVD MULTI playback
mode and HEADPHONE mode.
1
Press SETTING repeatedly until
“CROSS (Crossover)” (with the current
setting)* appears on the display.
*“100HZ” is the initial setting. If you have already changed the
setting, another frequency will be shown.
