Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified
service personnel.

 IMPORTANT: THE MOULDED PLUG
 This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 10 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should
 the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 10 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to
 BS1362.

 Check for the ASTA mark          or the BSI mark       on the body of the fuse.

 If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug
 must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your local dealer.

 If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for your socket outlet, then the fuse shall be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of
 safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.

 If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

 IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
               Blue : Neutral Brown : Live
 As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in
 your plug, proceed as follows;
       The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
       letter N or coloured BLACK.
       The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
       letter L or coloured RED.

       How to replace the fuse: Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse.

     Ventilation
     When installing this unit, make sure to leave
     space around the unit for ventilation to improve
     heat dispersal (at least 40 cm at the top). If not
     enough space is provided between the unit and
     walls or other equipment, heat will build up
     inside, interfering with performance and/or
     causing malfunctions.

                Receiver


     Slot and openings in the cabinet are provided
     for ventilation and to protect the equipment
     from overheating. To prevent fire hazard, do not
     place anything directly on top of the unit, make
     sure the openings are never blocked or covered
     with items (such as newspapers, table-cloths
     and curtains), and do not operate the
     equipment on thick carpet or a bed.

     Chapter 3:
     Connecting your equipment
     Placing the speakers
     By connecting the left and right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right
     surround speakers (SL/SR), and the subwoofer (SW), a 5.1 ch surround system can be enjoyed.
     Further, by using an external amplifier, you can connect the left and right surround back speakers
     (SBL/SBR) and the left and right front height speaker (FHL/FHR) to boost your system up to a 7.1 ch
     surround system.
       • You can also connect one surround back speaker (SB) and enjoy a 6.1 ch surround system.
     To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

     1 • Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the Audio options on page 35 to THRU (THROUGH) and set the input signal in Choosing
       the input signal on page 38 to HDMI, if you want to hear HDMI audio output from your TV (no sound will be heard from this

       • If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. Note that
       some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be displayed. In this case, use a (analog)
       composite connection.
       • When the video signal from the HDMI is 480i, 480p, 576i or 576p, Multi Ch PCM sound and HD sound cannot be received.
     2 • Use a High Speed HDMI® cable. If HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI® cable is used, it may not work properly.
       • When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it may not operate properly.
     3 Signal transfer is only possible when connected to a compatible component.
     4 • HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer time to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the audio may
       occur when switching between audio formats or beginning playback.
       • Turning on/off the device connected to this unit's HDMI OUT terminal during playback, or disconnecting/connecting the
       HDMI cable during playback, may cause noise or interrupted audio.

       (see Choosing the input signal on page 38).
     2 If the connection was made using an optical or a coaxial cable, you’ll need to tell the receiver which digital input you connected
       the DVD player to (see Choosing the input signal on page 38).
     3 If both TV and player has a component video jacks, you can connect these too. See Using the component video jacks on page 24
       for more on this.

     Note
1 If the connection was made using an optical cable, you’ll need to tell the receiver which digital input you connected the set-
  top box or video component to (see Choosing the input signal on page 38).
2 If the set-top box or video component also has an HDMI or a component video output, you can connect this too. See Connecting
  using HDMI on page 22 or Using the component video jacks on page 24 for more on this.
