CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated
if this unit or any other electronic equipment using
microprocessors is used near a tuner or TV.
If this happens, take the following steps:
• Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or
TV.
• Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away
from this unit's power supply cord and input/output
connection cords.
• Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly
when using indoor antennas or 300 Ω/ohms feeder
wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas
and 75 Ω/ohms coaxial cables.
For heat dispersal, leave at least 10 cm of space
between the top, back and sides of this unit and
the wall or other components.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

• Switching the input function when input jacks
are not connected
A clicking noise may be produced if the input
function is switched when nothing is connected to
the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the
MASTER VOLUME control or connect components
to the input jacks.
• Muting of PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and
SPEAKER terminals
The PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER
terminals include a muting circuit. Because of this,
the output signals are greatly reduced for several
