READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT  
FOR U.S.A. AND CANADA ...............................120 V  
FOR OTHER COUNTRIES...................... 110 V/220 V  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
Units shipped to the U.S.A. and Canada are designed  
for operation on 120 V AC only.  
Units shipped to countries other than the above  
countries are equipped with an AC voltage selector  
switch on the rear panel. Refer to the following  
paragraph for the proper setting of this switch.  
Observe all safety precautions with use of a polarized  
AC plug.  
However, some products may be supplied with a  
nonpolarized plug.  
AC VOLTAGE SELECTION  
This unit operates on 110-220 V AC. The AC voltage  
selector switch on the rear panel is set to the voltage  
that prevails in the area to which the unit is shipped.  
Before connecting the power cord to your AC outlet,  
make sure that the setting position of this switch  
matches your line voltage. If not, it must be set to  
your voltage in accordance with the following  
direction.  
CAUTION : To prevent electric shock, match wide  
blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.  
FOR EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA .........230V/240V  
FOR YOUR SAFETY  
Units shipped to Australia are designed for operation  
on 240 V AC only.  
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug supplied  
must be inserted only into a standard three-pin  
power point which is effectively earthed through the  
normal household wiring. Extension cords used with  
the equipment must be three-core and be correctly  
wired to provide connection to earth.  
AC voltage selector switch  
Improper extension cords are a major cause of  
fatalities. The fact that the equipment operates  
satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is  
earthed and that the installation is completely safe.  
For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective  
earthing of the power point, consult a qualified  
electrician.  
PAN-EUROPEAN UNIFIED VOLTAGE  
All units are suitable for use on supplies 230-240 V  
AC.  
AC 220 V  
AC 110 V

System Connections  
When making system connections, please be certain the AC cord is not plugged into an AC outlet.  
When making connections between components, please be sure to connect the white RCA plugs to the L(left) and the red  
RCA plugs to the R (right) jacks respectively.  
Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best possible reception of your favorite FM stations.  
A 75 ohm outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception. Disconnect the indoor antenna before  
connecting the outdoor antenna.  
Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set if to a  
direction it to a for the best reception.  
If the reception is poor with the AM loop antenna, an AM outdoor antenna can be used in place of the AM loop antenna.  
Make connections firmly and correctly. If not, it can cause loss of sound, noise or damage to the receiver.  
If the electricity fails or the AC input cord is left unplugged for about 2 weeks, the memorized contents will be lost.  
Memorize them again.

This receiver is equipped with circuitry that allows  
the use of a wide range of speaker systems.  
This circuitry works by redirecting the bass  
frequencies or the entire channel to speakers that are  
capable of reproducing them.  
When a large or full range speaker capable of deep  
bass response is used for one of the channels, that  
channel should be set to L.  
When a small or satellite speaker with limited bass  
capability is used, that channel should be set to S.  
Deep bass from that channel will be redirected to the  
main left and right speakers or to the subwoofer.  
When there is no speaker available, that channel  
should be set to N. All the information in that  
channel will be redirected to other available speakers.  
Each time this button is pressed, one of 11 different  
speaker settings is selected and displayed for 8  
seconds as follows;  
FL--CS--RS, FL--CL--RS, FL--CL--RL,  
FL--CL--RN, FL--CS--RL, FL--CN--RL,  
FL--CS--RN, FL--CN--RS, FS--CS--RS,  
FS--CS--RN and FS--CN--RS.  
In the above, F stands for Front Speakers, C for  
Center Speaker, R for Rear Speakers, L for Large,  
S for Small and N for None.  
Large speakers are capable of deep bass response  
and typically have one driver with a cone that is  
10(25 cm) or larger.

Your receiver allows you to optimize the arrival time of  
the sound from your speakers. This can help focus the  
audio image and add enjoyment to your home theater  
experience.  
Measure the distance from the prime listening position  
to each of the speakers to the nearest foot.  
-In the Dolby Digital mode, the optimum performance  
of your system occurs when the sound from all five  
speakers arrives at your primary listening position at  
the same time. If all speakers are equidistant from the  
main listening position, set the following delay.  
Center delay time : 0 mS, Rear delay time : 0 mS  
If the center speaker is closer to your prime listening  
position than the average distance to the left and right  
main speakers add 1 mS of center channel delay for  
each foot of difference. The maximum is 5 mS.  
If the surround speakers are closer to your main  
listening position than the main left and right speakers  
add 5 mS of surround channel delay for each 5 feet of  
difference. The maximum is 15 mS.  
The current delay time will be displayed for 5 seconds.  
In the Dolby Digital mode, only, the center delay is  
adjustable and the corresponding delay time is displayed.  
When playing Dolby Digital program sources in the  
Theater, Hall 1 or Hall 2 modes, the center and rear  
delay is adjustable just as it is in the Dolby Digital Mode.

OTHER FUNCTIONS  
Compressing the dynamic range (Dolby Digital(AC-3) mode only)  
DYNAMIC RANGE  
This function compresses the dynamic range of  
previously specified parts of the Dolby Digital(AC-  
3) sound track(with extremely high volume) to  
minimize the difference in volume between the

This makes it easy to hear all of the sound track  
when watching movies at night at low levels.  
Then the DYNAMIC RANGE button lights up.  
Press again to cancel.  
In some Dolby Digital(AC-3) software, this  
function may not be available.

display and menu screen.  
Note:  
Any on screen display visible on the monitor TV will not be recorded on VCR 1.  
CURRENT STATUS DISPLAY  
This mode shows the status corresponding to each operation.
