xPCM (Pulse Code Modulation)

A method of converting analog audio to digital audio for easy enjoyment of digital sound.

xProgressive

A scanning method that draws all scanning lines sequentially, as opposed to interlaced scanning where all the odd and then all the even lines are drawn.

xSampling frequency

To convert analog audio to digital, analog data should be quantified. This process is called sampling, and the number of times per second the analog data is quantified is called the sampling frequency. A standard music CD stores data quantified at 44,100 times per second, which is expressed as a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. Generally speaking, a higher sampling frequency means better sound quality.

xS video signal

A format for transmitting video signal information. S video uses a single cable and two channels, one for the Luminance signal Y and another for the chrominance signal C. Better picture quality for recording and playback than that of Composite signal is achieved.

xTSP (Time Stretched Pulse)

A TSP signal is a highly precise measuring signal that utilizes impulse energy, measuring a wide band, from low to high, in a short period.

The amount of energy used to measure signals is important to ensure measurement accuracy in a normal indoor environment. Using TSP signals makes it possible to measure signals effectively.

PrecautionsOn safety

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the receiver and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

• Before operating the receiver, check that the operating voltage is identical with your local power supply.

The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate on the back of the receiver.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the receiver for a long time, be sure to disconnect the receiver from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for the purpose of safety and will fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to

insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact

Additional

your dealer.

 

• The AC power cord (mains lead) must be

 

changed only at a qualified service shop.

Information

On heat buildup

 

Although the receiver heats up during

 

operation, this is not a malfunction. If you

 

continuously use this receiver at a large

 

volume, the cabinet temperature of the top,

 

side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid

 

burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.

 

On placement

Place the receiver in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the life of the receiver.
