HDMI (High-Definition 
Multimedia Interface)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia 
Interface) is an interface that supports both 
video and audio on a single digital connection, 
allowing you to enjoy high quality digital 
picture and sound. The HDMI specification 
supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital 
Contents Protection), a copy protection 
technology that incorporates coding 
technology for digital video signals.
L.F.E. (Low Frequency Effects)
Sound effects of low frequencies which are 
output from a sub woofer in Dolby Digital or 
DTS, etc. By adding a deep bass with a 
frequency between 20 to 120 Hz, audio 
becomes more powerful.
Sampling frequency
To convert analog audio to digital, analog data 
should be quantified. This process is called 
sampling, and the number of times per second 
the analog data is quantified is called the 
sampling frequency. A standard music CD 
stores data quantified at 44,100 times per 
second, which is expressed as a sampling 
frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a 
higher sampling frequency means better sound 
quality.
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 (mains lead), grasp the plug 
itself; never pull the cord.
• The AC power cord (mains lead) 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.
