to fit, contact your electrician to replae your obsolete outlet. Do not  
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
Alternate Warnings - This product is equipped with a three-wire  
grounding-type plug, a plug having a third(grounding) pin. This plug  
will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. this is a safety  
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact  
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the  
safety purpose of the gronding-type plug.

System Connections  
• Do not plug the AC input cord into the wall AC outlet until all connections are completed.  
• Be sure to observe the color coding when connecting audio and video cords.  
• Change the position of the FM indoor antenna until you get the best reception of your favorite FM stations.  
• A 75 outdoor FM antenna may be used to further improve the reception.  
Disconnect the indoor antenna before replacing it with the outdoor one.  
• Place the AM loop antenna as far as possible from the receiver, TV set, speaker cords and the AC input cord and set it to a  
direction 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 more than 2 weeks, the memorized contents will be cleared.  
Should this happen, memorize them again.

than the previous Dolby Surround effect.  
• The following modes apply conventional 2-channel

Dolby Pro Logic II surround  
This mode applies conventional 2- channel signals such as  
digital PCM or analog stereo signals as well as Dolby

improvements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic circuits.  
Dolby Pro Logic ll surround includes 4 modes as follows:

This mode reproduces a delayed signals from the surround  
channels to emphasize the sense of expansion for music  
sources.  
• Dolby Pro Logic ll MOVIE  
When enjoying movies, this mode allows you to further  
enhance the cinematic quality by adding processing that  
emphasizes the sounds of the action special effects.  
• Dolby Pro Logic ll MUSIC

Delay time  
When the center speaker or the rear speakers is(are) closer to the listener than the front speakers, the sound from  
the center speaker or the rear speakers can arrive at the listener’s ears earlier than the sound from the front  
speakers.  
In this case, the imaging is not as sharp and stable as it could be.  
For audible improvement, the sound from center speaker can be delayed with the center delay time setting so that  
the sound from the front and the center speakers will be heard at the same time and the sound from the rear  
speakers can be also delayed with the rear delay time setting so that the sound from the front and the rear speakers  
will be heard at the same time.  
The optimum delay time will be different according to the room size and the acoustic properties. It is  
recommended that you try several times to obtain the best effect.  
• It is adjustable in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II or Dolby Pro Logic mode. (For details, refer to “In Dolby  
Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II or Dolby Pro Logic mode, adjusting delay times of the speakers” on page 19)  
Speaker placement  
To obtain the best surround sound effect in your home, place the speakers as  
follows;  
TV set  
FRONT  
LEFT  
FRONT  
RIGHT  
SUB  
WOOFER  
CENTER  
SPEAKER  
• Front speakers: Place each front speaker about 1m (40 ) from the TV set.  
• Center speaker: Place the center speaker either above or below the TV set to  
assure good visualization of center channel program.  
• Rear speakers: Place the rear speakers approximately 1m above the ear level of  
a seated listener on the direct left and right of them or slightly  
behind.  
• Subwoofer: Reproduces powerful deep bass sounds. Place a powered  
subwoofer anywhere in the front as desired.  
• The ideal surround system needs all the speakers listed above.  
To obtain the best surround effects, the speakers except the subwoofer should  
be full range speakers.
