Supplied accessories

Safety precautions
Placement

Please check and identify the supplied
accessories.
AC mains lead...................................................................1

Set the unit up on an even surface away from direct sunlight, high
temperatures, high humidity, and excessive vibration. These
conditions can damage the cabinet and other components, thereby
shortening the unit’s service life.
Do not place heavy items on the unit.

Voltage
For Continental Europe
(RJA0019-2K)

For the United Kingdom
(VJA0733)

Do not use high voltage power sources. This can overload the
unit and cause a fire.
Do not use a DC power source. Check the source carefully when
setting the unit up on a ship or other place where DC is used.

AC mains lead protection

AM loop antenna set (RSA0012) .....................................1
(AM loop antenna, antenna holder, screw)

Ensure the AC mains lead is connected correctly and not
damaged. Poor connection and lead damage can cause fire or
electric shock. Do not pull, bend, or place heavy items on the lead.
Grasp the plug firmly when unplugging the lead. Pulling the AC
mains lead can cause electric shock.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This can cause electric
shock.

Before use

For Australia and New Zealand
(RJA0035-X)

Foreign matter
FM indoor antenna (RSA0007-L) .....................................1

Antenna plug (SJP9009) ..................................................1
(Only for the United Kingdom)

Do not let metal objects fall inside the unit. This can cause
electric shock or malfunction.
Do not let liquids get into the unit. This can cause electric shock
or malfunction. If this occurs, immediately disconnect the unit from
the power supply and contact your dealer.
Do not spray insecticides onto or into the unit. They contain
flammable gases which can ignite if sprayed into the unit.

Service
Antenna plug (RFE0014) ..................................................1
(Only for Australia and New Zealand)

Batteries ............................................................................2

Do not attempt to repair this unit by yourself. If sound is
interrupted, indicators fail to light, smoke appears, or any other
problem that is not covered in these operating instructions occurs,
disconnect the AC mains lead and contact your dealer or an
authorized service center. Electric shock or damage to the unit can
occur if the unit is repaired, disassembled or reconstructed by
unqualified persons.

Caution for AC Mains Lead

(For United Kingdom)
(“EB” area code model only)
For your safety, please read the following text
carefully.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO
THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH
THE LETTER E, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL
OR
COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN/YELLOW.
THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF–KEEP DRY.

Before use
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin
mains plug for your safety and convenience.
A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.
Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure
that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5-ampere
and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362.
Check for the ASTA mark
or the BSI mark
on
the body of the fuse.

Remove the connector cover.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must
ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced.
If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used
until a replacement cover is obtained.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your
local dealer.

1. Open the fuse cover with a screwdriver.

How to replace the fuse
The location of the fuse differ according to the type of
AC mains plug (figures A and B). Confirm the AC
mains plug fitted and follow the instructions below.
Illustrations may differ from actual AC mains plug.

Figure A

CAUTION!
IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE
FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME
THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND
THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF
SAFELY.
THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL
SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED
INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.
Figure B

Fuse cover

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring
code as stated below.
If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live.
As these colours 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 or Blue.
The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or
coloured Brown or Red.

2. Replace the fuse and close or attach the fuse
cover.

How to use the antenna plug (included)

¡Disconnect the FM indoor antenna.
¡The antenna should be installed by a competent technician.

Only for Australia and New Zealand
Two types of wire are most commonly used for connection from
the antenna: 300 Ω parallel feeder wire or 75 Ω coaxial cable. For
best resistance to outside interference, the use of 75 Ω coaxial
cable is suggested.

For Europe

¡ To connect a 75 Ω coaxial cable

The subwoofer can be placed in any position as long as it is at a
reasonable distance from the TV.
Note that some experimentation can yield the smoothest low

Change to suit the speakers you have connected.
LARGE: For speakers that can reproduce a full sound range,
particularly the bass range below 100 Hz.
SMALL: For speakers that cannot adequately reproduce the bass
range. This setting is sufficient for most speakers if you are
using a subwoofer.
NONE: For speakers you haven’t connected (center or surround).
The factory settings are:
Front:
LARGE
Center and surround: SMALL
For the subwoofer, select YES if you have connected one (factory
setting), or NO if you have not.

DISTANCE

Enter the distance of the speakers from the seating position so that
the sound from all the speakers (except for the subwoofer) reaches

This setting allows you to change the cut-off for bass output from
the front speakers. If you set the front speakers to “SMALL”, the
filter is set to 100 Hz. Raise the cut-off if the bass from the front
speakers is unsatisfactory so that this bass is output through the
subwoofer.
You can raise the cut-off from 100 Hz to either 150 Hz or 200 Hz.

DSP sound modes
DSP SOUND MODE

DIGITAL INPUT
The digital sound processor (DSP) in this unit can decode Dolby
Digital and DTS digital signals. It automatically determines the type
of signal, PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS, and processes it accordingly.
The DSP can add surround-like effects to stereo sources (analogue
or PCM signals).
Choose from the STEREO, SURROUND, or SFC modes.
The DSP may interfere with radio reception. You can turn it off if this
occurs (\ page 22).
Output is in stereo when you turn the DSP off so sound is only
heard through the front speakers.
Note
¡PCM with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz is the digital signal
format normally found on CDs. Some DVDs also use this format
but often with a higher sampling rate.
¡This unit cannot process other digital signal formats, such as
PCM signals with sampling frequencies of 96 kHz and 192 kHz
and MPEG.

In rare cases, the unit may have trouble recognizing the digital
signals on discs. With the PCM signals on CDs, this may cause the
beginning of a track to be cut off. Engage the PCM FIX mode if this
occurs. With DTS, the signals may not be recognized at all.
Engage the DTS FIX mode if this occurs.
This mode does not need to be changed under normal
circumstances. Change it only if the unit appears to be having
trouble recognizing the software you are playing.

RDS (radio data system) is a multiplex broadcasting system where,
along with FM audio signals, stations transmit other signals to help
you enjoy radio more and tune into programs easier. This unit can
use the following types of signals. Some stations do not have PTY,
EON, and RT.
¡PS (Program service): Station name.
¡PTY (Program type): Displays the program type (a below) and
is used to search for a type of program (a page 25).
¡EON (Enhanced other networks): This signal is used between
networked stations to make it easier for you to tune into a type of
program (a page 25).
¡RT (Radio text): This unit can show up to 64 letters by scrolling
them across the display. This text could be about the song, traffic
or weather, phone-in numbers, or police information.
