[. . . ] 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. 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.

When TYPE1 is selected, the calibration is set for ALL CH ADJUST; when TYPE2 is selected, the calibration is set for both ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN. 3 Select the time setting you want to use for calibration. 1 You can choose the time period that will be used for the calibration. Select the setting from the following time periods (in milliseconds): 0~20ms, 10~30ms, 20~40ms, 30~50ms, 40~60ms, 50~70ms and 60~80ms. This setting will be applied to all channels during calibration. · FRONT ALIGN ­ All speakers are set in accordance with the front speaker settings (no equalization is applied to the front left and right channels). The display returns to the Manual MCACC setup menu automatically after the Acoustic Calibration Equalization is set. Copying your Acoustic Calibration EQ settings If you want to manually adjust the Acoustic Calibration EQ (see Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ manually below), we recommend copying the ALL CH ADJUST or the FRONT ALIGN settings from the Advanced EQ Setup above (or from Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 8) to one of the custom settings. Instead of just a flat EQ curve, this will give you a reference point from which to start. Note 1 For multi-channel audio sources, the localization of the reproduced sound image and the sound linkage of the speakers depend on the direct sound including the early-reflected sound. In this setup, the earlier time settings (0~20ms, 10~30ms, etc. ) implement calibration closer to the direct sound with less consideration of the reverb characteristics; the later time settings (60~80ms, 50~70ms, etc. ) incorporate the reverberant sound. Select your favorite setting for the optimum results. 41 En 08 The System Setup menu 1 Select `EQ Data Copy' from the Manual MCACC setup menu. 3. Manual MCACC a. Fine Ch Level b. Fine SP Distance c.
