Utilize power outlets that are on different branch (circuit  
breaker or fuse) circuits or install AC line filter/s.  
In the case of radio or TV interference, relocate/reorient  
the antenna. If the antenna lead-in is 300 ohm ribbon  
lead, change the lead-in to coaxial type cable.  
If these corrective measures do not produce satisfactory  
results, please contact the local retailer authorized to  
distribute this type of product. If you can not locate the

For U.K. customers  
Special Instructions for U.K. Model  
If the socket outlets in the home are not suitable for the  
plug supplied with this appliance, it should be cut off and  
an appropriate 3 pin plug fitted. For details, refer to the  
instructions described below.  
IMPORTANT  
THE WIRES IN MAINS LEAD ARE COLOURED IN  
ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:  
Blue: NEUTRAL  
Brown: LIVE  
Note

socket outlet.  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this  
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured  
markings identifying the terminals in your plug,  
proceed as follows:  
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected  
to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or  
coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured  
BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is  
marked with the letter L or coloured RED.

CONNECTIONS  
CAUTION  
The IMPEDANCE SELECTOR must be set to the appropriate position before connecting one or two speaker sets.  
See page 5 for details.  
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.  
Do not connect this unit or other components to the main power until all connections between components are  
complete.  
Bi-wire connection  
1
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 prevent short circuits.  
The bi-wire connection separates the woofer from the  
combined midrange and tweeter section. A bi-wire  
compatible speaker has four binding post terminals. These  
two sets of terminals allow the speaker to be split into two  
independent sections. With these connections, the mid and  
high frequency drivers are connected to one set of  
terminals and the low frequency driver to another set of  
terminals.

U.K. and Australia models ..................................... 1 outlet  
Korea model .............................................................. None  
Other models ........................................................ 2 outlets  
Use these outlets to connect the power cables from your  
other components to this unit. The power to the AC  
OUTLET(S) is controlled by POWER on the front panel  
of this unit (or on the remote control). The outlet(s) supply  
power to any connected component whenever the power  
of this unit is turned on. For information on the maximum  
power (total power consumption of components), see  
Note  
Do not connect components with a built-in amplifier, such as a

Routes input signals directly to the power amplifier from  
your CD player, regardless of the INPUT selector setting.  
As a result, the input signals bypass the INPUT selector  
and the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and LOUDNESS  
controls. The gain is also adjusted appropriately for CD so  
that the purest possible sound is reproduced without any  
alterations to the CD signals.  
Adjusting the BALANCE control  
Adjust the sound output balance of the left and right  
speakers to compensate for sound imbalance caused by  
speaker locations or listening room conditions.

PLAYING AND RECORDING  
Adjusting the LOUDNESS control  
Retain a full tonal range at any volume level, thus  
compensating for the human ears’ loss of sensitivity to  
high and low-frequency ranges at low volume.  
Recording a source  
Notes  
• The audio signals are not output via the LINE 2 REC or LINE 3  
REC output jacks when LINE 2 or LINE 3 is selected with the  
REC OUT selector.  
The audio signals are output at both LINE 2 REC and LINE 3  
REC output jacks if you select PHONO, TUNER, CD or LINE  
1.  
• The VOLUME, BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE and  
LOUDNESS controls and the CD DIRECT AMP switch (and  
the PURE DIRECT switch) have no effect on the source being  
recorded.  
• Check the copyright laws in your country to record from  
records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording copyright-protected  
material may infringe on copyright laws.  
CAUTION  
If the CD DIRECT AMP switch (or the PURE DIRECT  
switch) is turned on with the LOUDNESS control set at a  
certain level, the input signals bypass the loudness control,  
resulting in a sudden increase in the sound output level. To  
prevent your ears or the speakers from being damaged, be  
sure to press the CD DIRECT AMP switch (or the PURE  
DIRECT switch) AFTER lowering the sound output level  
or AFTER checking that the LOUDNESS control is  
properly set.
