Notes
Do not place objects on the unit as they may interfere with proper ventilation.
• Follow the rules for digital recording (see page 53).
• Audio plugs must be connected securely. Incomplete connection will not reproduce sound.
• Do not bundle the audio connection cables with the speaker cords. This may impair the
sound quality.
• If the TV screen and the unit interfere with each other, put more distance between the
speakers and the TV set.
• When connecting the digital audio output of a DVD player to the DIGITAL IN jack of the unit, set the DVD player to PCM
output. Some DVD players cannot be set to PCM, in this case, audio output is not possible, even when the two units are
connected.
