of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,  
and requirements for the grounding electrode.  
CAUTION– Polarization –  
7.  
This product may be equipped  
with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one  
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet  
only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the  
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should  
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete  
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
8. Power Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be routed  
so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items  
placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to

Setting up the system  
Make connections as shown in the following pages.  
Speaker placement  
When connecting the related system components, be sure to  
refer to the instruction manuals supplied with the components  
you are connecting.  
Front speaker  
Front speaker  
Do not connect the power cord to a wall outlet until all  
connections are completed.  
Notes:  
1. Be sure to insert all connection cords securely. If their connections  
are imperfect, the sound may not be produced or there will be  
noise interference.  
Center speaker  
Subwoofer  
2. Be sure to remove the power cord from the AC outlet before  
plugging or unplugging any connection cords. Plugging/  
unplugging connection cords without disconnecting the power  
cord can cause malfunctions and may damage the unit.  
Listening  
position  
Surround speaker  
Surround speaker  
Analog connections  
Audio connections are made using RCA pin cords. These cables  
transfer stereo audio signal in an "analog" form. This means the  
audio signal corresponds to the actual audio of two channels.  
These cables usually have 2 plugs at each end, red for the right  
channel and white for the left channel. These cables are usually  
packed together with the source unit, or are available at your  
local electronics retailer.  
Front speakers:  
Place the left and right speakers at each side of your TV. Angle the  
speakers towards the listening area to enhance the stereo effect.  
Center speaker:  
Place the center speaker on the center between the front left and  
right speakers. Tilt the speaker upward or down-ward so that it is  
directly facing the listening area.  
Microcomputer malfunction  
If operation is not possible or an erroneous display appears,  
even though all connections have been made properly, reset the  
microcomputer by referring to <Troubleshooting>. fl  
Surround speakers:  
Place the surround speakers as high as possible, either directly to  
the sides of the listening area or else slightly behind the listening  
area. Adjust the angles so that these speakers are facing directly  
towards the listeners.  
Subwoofer:  
¤ CAUTION  
The power of this equipment will not be completely cut off  
from the wall outlet when the power switch is turned off.  
Install the equipment so that the wall outlet is easily  
accessible and, in case of emergency, immediately unplug the  
power cord from the wall outlet.  
Usually, place the subwoofer in the front center position in  
the listening room, near one of the front speakers. (Since  
the subwoofer has less directivity than other speakers, it can  
be placed almost in any position that can offer the best low  
frequency reproduction according to the room layout.)  
Note:  
•
Although the ideal surround system consists of all the speakers  
listed above, if you don’t have a center speaker or a subwoofer,  
you can divide those signals between the available speakers in  
the speaker settings steps to obtain the best possible surround  
reproduction from the speakers you have available.  
¤ CAUTION  
Be sure to adhere to the following, or proper ventilation  
will be blocked causing damage or fire hazard.  
•
Leave some space around the unit (from the largest outside  
dimension including projection) equal to or greater than,  
shown below.  
Side panel : 10 cm  
Back panel : 10 cm  
•
This unit is using the cooling fan. Do not place the unit  
onto a bed, a sofa, a carpet, or similar. Sucked-in dust can  
cause fire.

Dolby Digital  
Surround modes  
Dolby Digital is a highly sophisticated and versatile audio  
encoding/decoding technology. Dolby Digital technology can  
transmit mono, stereo (two-channel), or up to 5.1-channel  
surround sound (discrete* multichannel audio).  
In 5.1-channel surround sound, the three front channels  
(Left/Center/Right) deliver crisp, clean dialogue and accurate  
placement of on-screen sounds, while twin surround channels  
(Left Surround/Right Surround) wrap around the audience and  
immerse them in the action. The LFE (Low-Frequency Effects)  
channel delivers real impact for explosions and other effects that  
can, literally, be felt as well as heard.  
This unit is equipped with listen modes that allow you to enjoy an  
enhanced sonic ambience with a variety of video sources.  
In order to obtain the optimum effect from the surround modes,  
make sure to input the proper speaker settings beforehand.  
See <Speaker settings> ^.

Dolby Digital  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
DTS  
The superior coding efficiency of Dolby Digital-and its ability  
to deliver high-quality discrete multichannel audio without  
compromising video quality has made it the designated audio  
standard for DVD worldwide.  
DSP mode  
DVD 6-channel  
* The sound information contained in each of the six available  
channels is distinct and independent. These six channels  
are described as a "5.1-channel" system, because there are  
five full-bandwidth channels with 3 Hz to 20 kHz frequency  
range for Front Left and Right, Center, and Surround, plus one  
"Low Frequency Effects" (LFE) subwoofer channel devoted to  
frequencies from 3 to 120 Hz.  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
Dolby® Pro Logic® II technology processes any high quality stereo  
(two-channel) movie and music audio into five playback channels  
of full-bandwidth surround sound. A matrix surround decoding  
technology, Dolby Pro Logic II detects the directional cues that  
occur naturally in stereo content and uses these elements to  
create a five-channel surround sound playback experience.  
Dolby Pro Logic II is fully compatible with all Dolby Pro Logic  
technologies. It provides optimal audio for playback in a 5.1-  
channel home theater system for the thousands of videocassettes  
and TV programs encoded in four-channel Dolby Surround (the  
encoding counterpart to Dolby Pro Logic's decoding technology).  
(Dolby Pro Logic II surround Movie mode)  
Dolby Pro Logic II also enables video game consoles to encode  
five-channel surround sound information into a stereo signal  
with virtually no impact on the console's CPU, which means all  
this extra audio won't slow your game down. (Dolby Pro Logic II  
surround Game mode)  
Dolby Pro Logic II can bring new life to your CD collection. Play  
your music through your home theater system, and you'll hear  
seamless, natural sound with new depth and detail. It's almost  
like hearing a newly remastered CD. (Dolby Pro Logic II surround

DTS  
DTS Digital Surround is the standard for providing 5.1 channels  
of discrete digital audio in consumer electronics products and  
software content.  
Abboouutt iinnddiiccaattoorrss for surroundd mmoode  
DTS can contain a larger volume of data than Dolby Digital, and  
can reproduce high quality surround sound. They are the same  
as the Dolby Digital 5.1 channels, but it is a format that lowered  
the audio compression rate when recording digitally. Because of  
that, rich sound with high S/N can be reproduced. Moreover, an  
exact, magnificent surround sound with wide dynamic range and  
excelling in separation is a feature of DTS.  
Input channel status indicators  
Surround mode indicators  
Input channel status indicator  
It shows the channels contained in the input signal. Note that the  
input channel indicator does not show the channel of the listen  
mode.  
DTS has a ".1" or LFE channel.  
The indication "LFE" appears in the display when a signal is being  
input for this channel.  
The "LFE" indicator lights when the low frequency effects level is  
adjusted. See <Low frequency effects level ("LFE LVL")> (().  
The "S" indicator lights when the surround component consists of  
a single channel.  
DSP mode  
The DSP mode lets you add the atmosphere of a live concert  
or hall to almost any type of program source. These modes are  
particularly effective when used with stereo program sources, like  
CD, television, and FM radio. You might enjoy trying the ARENA,  
JAZZ CLUB, THEATER, STADIUM or DISCO mode the next time you  
watch a concert or sporting event!  
Surround mode indicator  
The indicator for the selected listen mode lights up. "DIGITAL" also  
lights when the input signal is digital.  
What's DSP?  
DSP stands for Digital Signal Processor.  
The way a sound is heard in an actual environment depends  
on a variety of different factors. One of the most important is  
reverberation (the act of decaying elements of sound echoing in  
various places).  
The DSP modes produce the feeling of presence by using the DSP  
to create reverberation, without spoiling the sound quality of the  
original signal.  
DVD 6-channel mode  
Using a DVD player or the like equipped with six (5.1) output  
channels and this unit, you can enjoy multi-channel encoded  
DVD source material in all its splendor. Since the source signals  
are digital and each channel is input independently, the resulting  
sound quality, sense of spaciousness, and dynamic range are  
superb.  
The indication "6CH INPUT" appears in the display during DVD  
6-channel mode selection.  
Note:  
•
LFE = Low Frequency Effects.  
This channel delivers separate non-directional bass signals to the  
subwoofer for more dynamic deep bass sound effects.
