The shape of the connector varies depending on the area code.
To prevent noise pickup, keep the AM loop antenna away from the receiver and other components. Be sure to fully extend the FM wire antenna. After connecting the FM wire antenna, keep it as horizontal as possible.

SR SL XXXX/XX (Surround speaker position)
Lets you specify the location of your surround speakers for proper implementation of the surround effects in the Cinema Studio EX modes (page 26).
Surround speaker position is designed specifically for implementation of the Cinema Studio EX modes. For other sound fields, speaker position is not so critical. Those sound fields were designed under the premise that the surround speakers would be located behind the listening position, but presentation remains fairly consistent even with the surround speakers positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the speakers are pointing toward the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position, the surround effects becomes unclear unless set to SIDE/LO or SIDE/HI. Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using BEHD/HI if your speakers are located high above the listening position, even if they are to the immediate left and right. Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the above explanation, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software and select the setting that provides a good sense of spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between the surround sound from the surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select BEHD/LO or BEHD/HI and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance.

D.RANGE COMP. XXX (Dynamic range compressor)
Lets you compress the dynamic range of the sound track. This may be useful when you want to watch movies at low volumes late at night. OFF The dynamic range is not compressed. STD The dynamic range is compressed as intended by the recording engineer. MAX The dynamic range is compressed dramatically.
Dynamic range compressor lets you compress the dynamic range of the soundtrack based on the dynamic range information included in the Dolby Digital signal. STD is the standard setting, but it only enacts light compression. Therefore, we recommend using the MAX setting. This greatly compresses the dynamic range and lets you view movies late at night at low volumes. Unlike analog limiters, the levels are predetermined and provide a very natural compression.

When set to DEC. AUTO and the sound from the digital audio jacks (for CD, etc.) is interrupted when playback starts, set to DEC. PCM.

If you encounter color irregularity on a nearby TV screen

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.
The front and center speakers 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 11).
If color irregularity is observed.
Turn off the TV set once, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes.

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 at the rear of the receiver. The receiver is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the receiver 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, CA 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. AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

There is no sound from digital sources (from COAXIAL or OPTICAL input jack). Check that the INPUT MODE is not set to ANALOG (page 28). Check that the INPUT MODE is not set to COAX IN for the sources from OPTICAL input jack, or set to OPT IN for the sources from COAXIAL input jack. The left and right sounds are unbalanced or reversed. Check that the speakers and components are connected correctly and securely. Adjust balance parameters in the LEVEL menu. There is severe hum or noise. Check that the speakers and components are connected securely. Check that the connecting cords are away from a transformer or motor, and at least 3 meters away from a TV set or fluorescent light. Move your TV away from the audio components. The plugs and jacks are dirty. Wipe them with a cloth slightly moistened with alcohol. There is no sound or only a very low-level sound is heard from the center or/and surround speakers. Select a CINEMA STUDIO EX mode (page 26). Adjust the speaker level (page 17). There is no sound from the sub woofer. Check that the sub woofer is connected correctly and securely. The surround effect cannot be obtained. Make sure the sound field function is on (press MOVIE or MUSIC). Sound fields do not function for the signals with a sampling frequency of more than 48 kHz.
GB01COV_HT-DDW670-U.book Page 39 Wednesday, July 13, 2005 1:45 PM
The FM reception is poor. Use a 75-ohm coaxial cable (not supplied) to connect the receiver to an outdoor FM antenna as shown below. If you connect the receiver to an outdoor antenna, ground it against lightning. To prevent a gas explosion, do not connect the ground wire to a gas pipe.
