Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
cabinet, unplug the receiver and ha'_e it
checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any flmher.
On power sources
• Before operating the receiver, check that the
operating voltage is identical with your local
power supply.
The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate on the back of the receiver.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC
power source (mains) as long as it is
connected to the wall outlet, even if the nnit
itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the receiver for a
long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver
from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC
power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull
the cord.
• One blade of the plug is wider than the other
for the purpose of safety and will fit into the
wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact
your dealer.
• The AC power cord must be changed only at
a qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the receiver heats up during
operation, this is not a maffunction. If you
continuously use this receiver at a large
volume, the cabinet temperature of the top,
side and bottom rises considerably. To a'_oid
burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
On placement
• Place tile receiver in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and
prolong the life of the receiver.
• Do not place the receiver near heat sources,
or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet
that might block the ventilation holes and
cause malflmctions.
• Do not place the receiver near equipment
such as a television, VCR, or tape deck. (If
the receiver is being used in combination
with a television, VCR, or tape deck, and is
placed too close to that equipment, noise
may result, and picture quality may suffer.
This is especially likely when using an
indoor antenna. Therefore, we recommend
using an outdoor antenna.)
• Use caution when placing the receiver or
speakers on surfaces that have been specially
treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) as
staining or discoloration of the surface may
result.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure
to turn off and unplug the receiver.

irregularity on a nearby TV -..
screen _
Tile front and center speakers and the sub
woofer are magnetically shielded to allow it to _,,
be installed near a TV set. However, color
irregularities may still be observed on certain
types of TV sets. As the surround speakers are _'
not magnetically shielded, we recommend that
you place the surround speakers slightly
further away from TV set (page 12).

observed...
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after
15 to 30 minutes.
