OBSTRUCT THE VENTILATION TO PREVENT RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD DUE TO
OVERHEATING.
Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components,
thereby shortening the unit’s service life.
Place it at least 15 cm away from wall surfaces to avoid distortion

and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.

interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other
problem that is not covered in these instructions occurs,
disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an
authorized service center. Electric shock or damage to the unit

To connect an outdoor antenna
FM outdoor antenna
¡Disconnect the FM indoor antenna.

How to use the antenna plug (included)
For Australia and New Zealand
Two types of wire are most commonly used for connection from
the antenna: 300 Ω parallel feeder wire or 75 Ω coaxial cable.
For best resistance to outside interference, the use of 75 Ω
coaxial cable is suggested.
For the United Kingdom

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.
Connecting speakers
Other connections are possible depending on your speaker system.
See your speaker system’s operating instructions for details.

If you connect speakers with an impedance

These settings should be done to get the most from the unit’s DSP
reproduction modes (apages 20 and 21).
In SIZE
Set the type (LARGE or SMALL) and presence (NONE, YES or
NO) of your speakers. Select “LARGE” if the speakers can
produce bass (below around 100 Hz). Select “SMALL” if the
speakers cannot produce bass. Select “NONE” if center and
surround speakers aren’t connected. Select “NO” if a subwoofer
isn’t connected. The sound for those speakers is then produced
through the front speakers.
In DISTANCE

Enter the distance of front, center surround speakers from the
listening position so the sound from the speakers reaches the
listening position at the same time. The unit calculates the delay
time for the center and surround speakers based on these
distances.

DSP sound modes
This unit’s digital signal processor (DSP) has the following three
modes–STEREO, SURROUND and SFC.
DSP SOUND MODE
A
STEREO mode
Use this mode when you want to listen to stereo sources, whether
they are digital or analogue, or when you want to play Dolby
Digital or DTS sources through two channels. The sounds usually
fed through the other speakers are down-mixed so they are output
through the left and right front speakers. There may be some
change in the overall sound when surround sources are down-
mixed.
B
SURROUND mode
By selecting this mode while digital input is being used, the unit
automatically determines the kind of digital source being used
(Dolby Digital, Dolby Surround, or DTS), and processes it
accordingly. Select this mode also when you are playing an
analogue source, VCR for example, that has been recorded in
Dolby Surround.

enables more highly defined sound reproduction of the two ranges
thus producing high quality bi-amp stereo sound.
Ensure “BI-AMP” lights when [BI-WIRE] is

RDS broadcasts
RDS (Radio data system) is a multiplex broadcasting system.
Along with the audio signals of FM broadcasts, text information
and other signals are transmitted to help you enjoy radio more and
make tuning into programs easier. This unit can use the following
types of signals.

¡PS (Program service):
The name of the station can be displayed.
¡PTY (Program type):
The type of program can be displayed. This signal can also be
used to search for a type of program (a page 33). See page 35
for more information about the PTY displays.
¡EON (Enhanced other networks):
This signal is used between networked stations to make it
easier for listeners to tune into a type of program (apage 34).
¡RT (Radio text):
This is text transmitted by the station. This unit can show a
maximum of 64 characters by scrolling it across the screen. The
text could be information about the song playing, traffic and
weather reports, phone-in numbers, or police information.
