moving the cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment
would void the user’s authority to operate this device.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including

Listening caution
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s
time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you
to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level.
One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without
affecting your sensitive hearing. 
We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive
noise. 
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal”
can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. 
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts. 
To establish a safe level: 
• Start your volume control at a low setting. 
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion. 
Once you have established a comfortable sound level: 
• Set the dial and leave it there. 
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a
lifetime.

Connecting speakers
Front speakers (left  right)Place on the left and right of the TV at seated ear height so that there is
good coherency between the picture and sound.
Center speaker () Place underneath or above the center of the TV. Aim the speaker at the
seating area. 
Surround speakers ( left  right)Place on the side of or slightly behind the seating area, about one meter
(3 feet) higher than ear level. 
Surround back speaker () Place behind the seating area, about one meter (3 feet) higher than ear
level. 
Subwoofer () The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a
reasonable distance from the TV. 
Note that some experimentation can yield the smoothest low frequency
performance. Placement near a corner can increase the apparent
output level, but can result in unnatural bass.

To finish settingsNote regarding PCM FIX modeIn rare cases, the unit may have trouble recognizing the digital signals on discs. 
With the PCM signals on CDs, this may cause the beginning of a track to be cut off. Engage the
PCM FIX mode if this occurs. 
When PCM FIX mode is on, the unit cannot process other signals. This may cause noise to be
output. Select another mode in this case. 
The PCM FIX mode remains as set even if the power is turned off. 1. Press [MULTI CONTROL] several times
to select “EXIT”.
