Introduction

About This Manual

This manual is organized as follows:

· The manual mainly explains operations using the

buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the

buttons on the remote control if they have the same or

similar names (or marks) as those on the unit.

If operation using the remote control is different from

that using the unit, it is then explained.

· Basic and common information that is the same for many

functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in

each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the

information about turning on/off the unit, setting the

volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are

explained in the section "Common Operations" on pages

11 to 14.

· The following marks are used in this manual:

Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent

from damage or risk of fire/electric shock.

Also gives you information which is not good

for obtaining the best possible performance

from the unit.

Gives you information and hints you had better

know.

Precautions

Installation

· Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor

too cold--between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F).

· Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to

prevent internal heat buildup in the unit.

· Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.

· Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference

with TV.

hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the

following cases:

· After starting heating in the room

· In a damp room

· If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place

should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case,

leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture

evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in

again.

Others

· Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,

unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before

operating any further.

· If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended
