[. . . ] Please read through these operating instructions so you will know how to operate your model properly. After you have finished reading the instructions, put them away in a safe place for future reference. VENTILATION: When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 60 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and 30 cm at each side). WARNING: Slot and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, to prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be blocked and covered with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. [. . . ] When set to DIGITAL, 2 DIGITAL lights when a Dolby Digital signal is input, and DTS lights when a DTS signal is input. This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz, 44kHz, 48kHz, and 96 kHz) and DTS digital signal formats. You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make the proper digital connections (page 17) and set the signal input to DIGITAL. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player. You can only select DIGITAL if the source you selected is assigned to a digital input. When you select STEREO or DIRECT, you will hear the source through just the front left and right speakers (and possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker settings). Press STEREO (STEREO/DIRECT on the front panel) repeatedly to switch between the two options. If you switch on Midnight listening, Loudness, or the Tone controls when DIRECT is selected, the receiver automatically switches to STEREO. Use the INPUT SELECTOR buttons on the remote (or the MULTI JOG/INPUT SELECTOR dial on the front panel). For multi-channel sources, Dolby/DTS decoding is selected automatically according to the source and shows in the display. For a two channel source, you can press STANDARD repeatedly to select the Pro Logic II mode you want: Refer to pages 38­39 for more details about each mode. Each press changes the display as follows: Refer to pages 39­40 for more details about each surround effect. Using Loudness and Midnight listening The Loudness listening feature can be used to get good bass and treble from music sources at low volume levels. The Midnight listening feature allows you to hear effective surround sound of movies at low volume levels. The effect automatically adjusts according to the volume at which you're listening. Each press cycles through the effects as follows: You can also press MIDNIGHT or LOUDNESS on the front panel. Depending on what you are listening to, you may want to adjust the bass or treble using the front panel tone control. 2 Use the MULTI JOG/INPUT SELECTOR dial to change the amount of bass or treble as necessary. When the receiver is switched to Direct, using the tone controls automatically switches the receiver to Stereo mode. Use the INPUT SELECTOR buttons on the remote (or the MULTI JOG/INPUT SELECTOR dial on the front panel). If you have connected a decoder or a DVD player with multi-channel analog outputs to this receiver (page 19), you must select the analog multi-channel inputs for 5. [. . . ] Clearing all stations from the RDS or EON search The receiver will automatically register an identifying marker (called a PI code) for any station you input into the memory classes which can receive RDS or EON data. If you want to remove the currently memorized stations from RDS and EON searches, you can do it by erasing the PI codes. You can make an audio or a video recording from the built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV) through the analog jacks. You will need to connect a CD recorder, tape deck, MD, VCR, or DVR deck to the CD-R/TAPE/MD or VCR/DVR outputs on the receiver to do so (see pages 18 and 20 for more on this). [. . . ]
