Glossary

x Deep Color
Video signals for which the color depth of signals passing through an HDMI jack have been raised. The number of colors that could be expressed by 1 pixel was 24 bits (16,777,216 colors) with the current HDMI jack. However, the number of colors which can be expressed by 1 pixel will be 36 bits, etc., when the receiver corresponds to Deep Color. Since the gradation of the depth of a color can be expressed more finely with more bits, continuous color changes can be more smoothly expressed.

With this Digital Cinema Sound developed by integrating a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and measured data, the ideal sound field intended by filmmakers can be experienced at home.

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.
If color irregularity is observed again.
Place the speaker further away from the TV set.

If howling occurs

Reposition the speakers or turn down the volume on the receiver.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, scrubbing brush or sponge. If it is stained with oil or fingerprints, breath on the surface and wipe it with soft dry cloth.

On S-AIR function

As the S-AIR product(s) transmits sound by radio waves, sound may skip when radio waves are obstructed. This is a characteristic of radio waves and is not malfunction. As the S-AIR product(s) transmits sound by radio waves, equipment that generates electromagnetic energy, such as a microwave oven, may interfere with sound transmission. As the S-AIR product(s) uses the radio waves that share the same frequency as other wireless systems, such as wireless LAN or Bluetooth devices, interference or poor transmission may result. In this case, take the following steps: Avoid placing the S-AIR product(s) near other wireless systems. Avoid using the S-AIR product(s) and the other wireless systems at the same time. The transmission may be improved by changing the transmission channel (frequency) of the other wireless system(s). For details, refer to the operating instructions of the other wireless system(s).
