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 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 jacks, HEADPHONE jack and
SPEAKER terminals
The PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jacks and
SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit.
Because of this, the output signals are greatly
reduced for several seconds after the power switch
is turned on or input function, surround mode or any
other-set-up is changed. If the volume is turned up
during this time, the output will be very high after
the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait
until the muting circuit turns off before adjusting the
volume.
