l Getting Started

This section explains how to connect audio/video components and speakers to the receiver, and how to connect the

power supply.

I:]_It'rJ'_ II'i'g_i_ IffI!'t'_

General

• Be sure your hands are dry.

• Turn the power offto all components.

• Read the manuals supplied with the components you are going to

connect.

Locations

• Install the receiver in a location that is level and protected from

moisture.

• The temperature around the receiver must be between 5°C and

35°C (23°F and 95°F).

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the receiver. Poor

ventilation could cause overheating and damage the receiver.

Handling the receiver

• Do not insert any metal obiect into the receiver.

• Do not disassemble the receiver or remove screws, covers, or

cabinet.

• Do not expose the receiver to rain or moisture.

Check to be sure you have all of the following items, which are

supplied with the receiver.

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.

A. Using a Supplied FM Antenna

The FM antenna provided can be connected to the FM 75_

COAXIAL telTainal as tempora W measure.

B. Using a Standard Type Connector (Not Supplied)

A standard type connector should be connected to the FM 75f2

COAXIAL tenTainal.

Note:

If reception is poor, connect an outdoor antenna.

Before attaching a 75£2coaxial cable (the kind with a round wire going

to an outdoor antenna), disconnect the supplied FM antenna.

Cut, twist and remove the insulation at the end of

each speaker signal cable (not supplied).

Open the terminal and then insert the speaker

signal cable.

Close the terminal.

Connecting the front speakers

You can connect two pairs of front speakers (one pair to the FRONT

SPEAKERS ,1) terminals, and another pair to the FRONT

SPEAKERS, : term nals).

Right speaker FRONT SPEAKERS (1) Left speaker

Turn the loop antenna until you have the best reception.

Notes:

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other

terminals, connecting cords and power cord. This could cause poor

reception.

• If reception is poor, connect an outdoor single vinyl-covered wire to

the AM EXT terminal. (Keep the AM loop antenna connected.)

You can connect the following speakers:

• Two pairs of fiont speakers to produce normal stereo sound.

• One pair of rear speakers to enjoy the surround effect.

• One center speaker to produce more effective surround effect (to

emphasize human voices).

• One subwoofer to enhance the bass.

IMPORTANT:

After connecting the speakers listed above, set the speaker

setting intbrmation properly to obtain the best possible DSP

effect. Vor details, see page 12.

For each speaker (except for a subwoofer), connect the () and (+)

terminals on the rear panel to the () and (+) terminals marked on

the speakers. For connecting a subwoofer, see page 5.

jacks, change the source name, which wil! be shown on the display

when selected as the source, to "M D."See page 1! for details.

If your audio components have a COMPU LINK-3 terminal

See also page 26 for detailed information about the connection and

the COMI U LINK_3 remote control system.

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.

IMPORTANT:

This receiver is equipped with both the composite video and S-video

input terminals for the DVD player connection.

You do not have to connect both the composite video and S-video

terminals.

However', remember that the video signals from the composite

video input terminal are output only through the composite

video output terminals, while the ones from the S-video input

terminal are output only through the S-video output terminal.

Therefore, if your" DVD player is connected to the receiver only

through the S-video input terminaI, you cannot record the picture

from the DVD player on the VCR.

In addition, if the TV and the DVD pIayer are connected to the

receiver through the different video terminals, you cannot view the

playback picture from the DVD player on the TV.

Digital connections

This receiver is equipped with two DIGITAL IN terminals one

digital coaxial tetTninal and one digital optical terminal.

You can connect any component to one of the digital terminals using

a digital coaxial cable (not supplied) or digital optical cable (not

supplied).

Before plugging the receiver into an AC outlet, make sure that all

connections have been made.

Plug the power cord into an AC outlet.

IMPORTANT:

• When connecting the DVD player or+the DBS tuner" using the digital

terminal, you also need to connect it to the video jack on the rear.

Without connecting itto 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 "Digital Input (DIGITAL IN) Terminal Setting" on page

14.

- Select the digital input mode correctly. For details, see "Selecting

the Analog or Digital Input Mode" on page 14.

DBS tuner DVD player

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.

Note:

The preset settings such as preset channels and sound adjustment

may be erased in a few days in the following cases:

- When you unplug the power cord.

- When a power failure occurs.

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.

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 receiver.

- DIGITAL 2 (optical): For CD player

• When you want to operate the CD player or MD recorder using the

COMPU LINK remote control system, connect the target

component also as described in "Analog connections" (see page 5).

• When you want to operate the DVD player using the AV COMPU

LINK remote control system, connect the DVD player also as

described in "Analog connections" (see page 5).

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.

ffthe range or effectiveness of the remote control decreases, replace

the batteries. Use two R6P(SUM-3)/AA(I 5F) 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.
