Notes on batteries
(hange all of the batteries if the operation range of the remnte controls decreases.
Use AA. R6 UM-3 batteries for the remote control and AAA R03 UM-4 batteries for the Zone 2 remote control.
Make sure that the polarities are correct. See the illustration inside the batte D" compartment of each remote control.
Remove the batteries if the remote controls are not used for an extended period of time.
Do not use old batteries together with new ones.
Do not use different t3_pesof batteries (such as alkaline and manganese batteries) together. Read the packaging carefully as these
different types of batteries may have the same shape and color.
We strongly recommend using alkaline batteries.
If the batteries have leaked, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come into contact with
clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries.
Do not throw away batteries with general house waste: dispose of them correctly in accordance with your local regulations.

The remote controls transmit a directional infrared beam.
Be sure to aim the remote controls directly at the remote control sensor on the front panel of this unit or on the infrared
signal receiver in Zone 2 during operation.
Approximately 6 m (19.7 ft)
Handling the remote controls
The area between the remote controls and this unit (or the
in_ared signal receiver in Zone 2) mnst be clear of large
obstacles.
Do not spill water or other liquids on the remote controls.
Do not drop the remote controls.
Do not leave or store the remote controls in the following types
of conditions:
places of high hulnidit3: such as near a bath
places of high temperature, such as near a heater or a stove
places of extremely low temperatures
dusty places
Do not expose the remote control sensor to strong lighting, in
particular, an inverter type fluorescent lamp; otherwise, the
remote controls may not work properly. If necessar._: position
this unit away from direct lighting.

Be sure to connect the left channel (L), right channel (R), '%" (red) and .... (black) properly. If the connections are faulty,
no sound will be heard from the speakers, and if the polarity of the speaker connections is incon'ect, the sound will be
unnatural and lack bass.
Before connecting the speakers, make sure that the power of this unit is turned off.
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other or do not let them touch any metal part of this unit. This could
damage this unit and.or the speakers.
Use magnetically shielded speakers. If this type of speakers still creates the interference with the monitor, place the
speakers away from the monitor.
Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) of
insulation from the end of each speaker
cable and twist the exposed wires of the
cable together to eliminate the risk of a
short-circuit.
Unscrew the knob.

Notes on the speaker cord
A speaker cord is actually a pair of insulated cables
running side by side. One cable is colored or shaped
differently, perhaps with a stripe, groove or ridge. Connect
the striped, grooved or ridged cable to the "+" (red)
terminals on this unit and your speaker. Connect the plain
cable to the .... (black) terminals on this unit and your

If you connect an outdoor FM antenna to this unit. do not connect the indoor FM antenna to this unit.
To minimize interllerence from automobile ignition, locate the antenna as li_r from heavy traffic as possible.
Keep the li:eder cane or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable.

COUPLER jacks
Removing the jumper pins from the PILE OUT MAIN IN
jacks enables this unit to operate separately as a control
amplifier or a power amplifier. These jacks are used to
connect a signal-processing system such as a graphic
equalizer or a surround-sound processor to this unit. If
such an external unit is connected to these jacks, the
VOLUME control of this unit can be used to adjust the
overall sound output level.
To connect an external unit, first remove the jumper pins
from the PRE OUT/MAIN IN jacks and then connect the
input jacks of that extemal unit to the PRE OUT jacks or
its output jacks to the MAIN" IN jacks. For details, refer to
the owner's manual included with the external unit to be
connected.
When you do not use the COUPLER jacks, never remove the
jmnper pins from these jacks. If removed, no sotmd will be
output from this trait.
When you use this unit with an external unit connected to the
COUPLER jacks, make sure that the CD DIRECT AMP button
and the PURE DIRECT button on the front panel are turned off.
When you use this unit as a power amplifier, connect the output
jacks of an external control amplifier, etc. to the MAIN IN jacks
of this unit. In this case, the controls of this unit will not
