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.

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

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.

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.

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.

VCR connected to the VCR jacks at the same time.
While recording, you can listen to the selected sound source at
whatever sound level you like, without affecting the sound levels of
the recording.
Note:
The output volume level, tone adjustment (see page 10), bass boost
(see page 10) and DSP modes (see page !8) cannot affect the
recording.
When you have connected the MD recorder to the TAPE/MD jacks
or the DBS tuner to the TV SOUND/DBS jacks on the rear panel,
change the source name shown on the display when you select the
MD recorder or the DBS tuner as the source.
