the like.

6. Carts and Stands The appliance

should be used only with a cart or stand

that is recommended by the manufac-

turer.

6A.An appliance and cart combination

should be moved with care. Quick

stops, excessive force, and uneven sur-

faces may cause the appliance and cart

combination to overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting The appliance should be mounted

to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation The appliance should be situated so that its loca-

tion or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For

example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa,

rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings;

or if placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabi-

net that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation open-

ings, there should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an

opening behind the appliance.

9. Heat The appliance should be situated away from heat sources

such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (in-

cluding amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources The appliance should be connected to a power

supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or

as marked on the appliance.

11. Polarization If the appliance is provided with a polarized

plug having one blade wider than the other, please read the

following information:

The polarization of the plug is a safety feature. The polarized

plug will only fit the outlet one way. If the plug does not fit

fully into the outlet, try reversing it. If there is still trouble, the

user should seek the services of a qualified electrician. Under

no circumstances should the user attempt to defeat the

polarization of the plug.

12. Power-Cord Protection Power-supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by

Features

Memory Preservation

This unit does not require memory preservation batteries. A

built-in memory power back-up system preserves the contents

of the memory during power failures and even when the

POWER switch is set to off. The POWER switch must be set to

on in order to charge the back-up system.

The memory preservation period after the unit has been turned

off varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On

the average, memory contents are protected over a period of a

few weeks after the last time the unit has been turned off . This

period is shorter when the unit is exposed to a highly humid

climate.

Check that the following accessories are supplied with this unit.

Supplied accessories

THX Select

Before any home theatre component can be THX Select certi-

fied, it must pass a rigorous series of quality and performance

tests. Only then can a product feature the THX Select logo,

which is your guarantee that the Home Theatre products you

purchase will give you superb performance for many years to

come. THX Select requirements define hundreds of param-

eters, including power amplifier performance, and pre-ampli-

fier performance and operation for both digital and analog do-

mains. THX Select receivers also features proprietary THX

technologies (e.g. THX Mode, see page 34) which accurately

translate film soundtracks for home theater playback.

Before operating this unit

compartment cover.

Notes

· Do not mix new batteries with old batteries or different kinds of

batteries.

· To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote controller

is not to be used for a long time.

· Remove dead batteries immediately to avoid damage from cor-

rosion. If the remote controller doesn't operate smoothly, re-

place both the batteries at the same time.

· The life of the batteries supplied is about six months but this will

vary depending on usage.

Using the remote controller

Point the remote controller toward the remote control sensor.

The STANDBY indicator lights up when the unit receives a signal

from the remote controller.

Notes

· Place the unit away from strong light such as direct sunlight or inverted

fluorescent light which can prevent proper operation of the remote con-

troller.

· Using another remote controller of the same type in the same room or

using the unit near equipment which uses infrared rays may cause op-

erational interference.

· Do not put any object such as a book on the remote controller. The but

tons of the remote controller may be pressed by mistake and drain the

batteries.

· Make sure the audio rack doors do not have colored glass. Placing the

unit behind such doors may prevent proper remote controller operation.

· If there is any obstacle between the remote controller and the remote

control sensor, the remote controller will not operate.
