FUNCTION

Power can be supplied from the amplifier's AC outlet

(UNSWITCHED) to another component up to a

maximum power consumption of 150 W.

The amplifier's AC outlet is an UNSWITCHED

 

 

(unswitched) type, which means that the power can

 

 

be supplied at all times regardless of whether the

Warning:

 

 

• Front left and right speakers

It is recommended that the front left and right speakers be positioned at an angle of 45 to 60 degrees from each other as viewed from the listening position.

• Center speaker

This speaker is placed so that its front panel is in line with the front panels of the front left and right speakers or slightly behind them.

Height at which to place the front left and right speakers and center speaker

Place the three front speakers (left, right and center) so that their mid-range and high-range units will be positioned at more or less the same height from the floor as much as possible.

• Surround left and right speakers

These speakers are needed to play surround sound. Place them against the walls in line with the listening position or slightly behind it. Position them so that the center of the speaker front panels point toward the center the room.

• Surround back left and right speakers

Place these speakers behind the listening position as shown in the figure.

Height at which to place the surround left and right speakers and surround back left and right speakers

Place these speakers at a height of 70 cm to 1 meter above the listener.

By placing the speakers at this height, the sound source will not be localized at any specific position, and the listener will feel more surrounded and enveloped by the sound.

2. Connect the plug on the power cable to the wall socket (AC 120 V, 60 Hz).

*Ensure that the total power consumption of the amplifier and other components connected to the socket does not exceed the capacity of the socket.

Notes:

•Insert the power plug firmly. Noise may be caused by an incomplete connection.

•Do not connect the amplifier to the AC outlet of another product. Product malfunctioning may occur if the capacity of the AC outlet is exceeded.

Do NOT connect a component that exceeds the

 

absolute allowable power rating. Doing so may cause
