Do not use old batteries together with new ones.

This may shorten the life of the new batteries or cause old batteries

to leak.

Do not use different types of batteries (such as alkaline and

manganese batteries) together. Specification of batteries may be

different even though they look the same.

If you find leaking batteries, discard the batteries immediately,

taking care not to touch the leaked material. If the leaked material

comes into contact with your skin or gets into your eyes or mouth,

rinse it away immediately and consult a doctor. Clean the battery

compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.

Dispose of the old batteries correctly in accordance with your local

regulations.

If the remote control is without batteries for more than 2 minutes,

or if exhausted batteries remain in the remote control, the contents

of the memory may be cleared. In such a case, install new batteries

and set the remote control code.

Connecting the speaker cable

Caution

A speaker cable is a pair of insulated cables running side by side in general. One of the cables is colored differently

or striped to indicate a polarity. Connect one end of the colored/striped cable to the “+” (red) terminal of this unit

and the other end to that of your speaker, and connect one end of the other cable to the “–” (black) terminal of this

unit and the other end to that of your speaker.

Before connecting the speakers, be sure to disconnect the power cable.

Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part of this unit. This could damage this unit and/or

speakers. If the circuit shorts out, “CHECK SP WIRES!” appears on the front panel display when this unit is turned on.

Use magnetically shielded speakers. If images on the monitor are still distorted even when you use the magnetically

shielded speakers, place the speakers away from the monitor.

Use speakers with an impedance of 6-ohm or larger.

Connecting a TV monitor or projector

Connect a video monitor such as a TV or projector to an output terminal of this unit. You can select one of the following

three types according to the input signal format supported by the video monitor.

Note

When you connect this unit to the video monitor, make sure that this unit is on standby.

To output sound of a TV from this unit, make connection

between the AV input 1-6 and an audio output terminal.

If the TV supports an optical digital output, we
