Precautions
On safety
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the 
cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it 
checked by qualified personnel before 
operating it any further.
On power sources
• Before operating the receiver, check that the 
operating voltage is identical with your local 
power supply. 
The operating voltage is indicated on the 
nameplate on the back of the receiver.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC 
power source (mains) as long as it is 
connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit 
itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the receiver for a 
long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver 
from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC 
power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull 
the cord.
• (Models of area code U, UC only) 
One blade of the plug is wider than the other 
for the purpose of safety and will fit into the 
wall outlet only one way. If you are unable 
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact 
your dealer.
• The AC power cord must be changed only at 
a qualified service shop.
On heat buildup
Although the receiver heats up during 
operation, this is not a malfunction. If you 
continuously use this receiver at a large 
volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, 
side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid 
burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
On placement
• Place the receiver in a location with 
adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup 
and prolong the life of the receiver.
• Do not place the receiver near heat sources, 
or in a place subject to direct sunlight, 
excessive dust, or mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet 
that might block the ventilation holes and 
cause malfunctions.
• Do not place the receiver near equipment 
such as a TV, VCR, or tape deck. (If the 
receiver is being used in combination with a 
TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is placed too 
close to that equipment, noise may result, 
and picture quality may suffer. This is 
especially likely when using an indoor 
antenna. Therefore, we recommend using an 
outdoor antenna).
• Use caution when placing the receiver or 
speakers on surfaces that have been 
specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.) 
as staining or discoloration of the surface 
may result.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure 
to turn off and unplug the receiver.
If you encounter color 
irregularity on a nearby TV 
screen
The front speakers, center speaker and the sub 
woofer are magnetically shielded to allow it to 
be installed near a TV set. However, color 
irregularities may still be observed on certain 
types of TV sets. As the surround speakers are 
not magnetically shielded, we recommend that 
you place the surround speakers slightly 
further away from TV set (page 13).
If color irregularity is 
observed...
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after 
15 to 30 minutes.
