[. . . ] if the mains plug contains a fuse , this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp. Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere. The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L). [. . . ] Y A test tone coming from the different speakers is heard. Note: If you are not completely satisfied with the volume settings, we recommend making minor adjustments to them during surround sound playback. General hints for positioning Avoid positioning the speakers in a corner or on the floor as this will boost the bass tones too much. The listener should always be able to "see" the speakers. Each room has different acoustic characteristics and the positioning possibilities are often limited. You can find the best position for your speakers by referring to the picture above. As a minimum we recommend 5 speakers (2 front, a center, 2 surround) for good surround sound. It is possible to reproduce some kind of surround sound with fewer speakers. This is done by redirecting the signals which are foreseen for the missing speakers to the existing ones. See "Menus" on how to set up the receiver correctly for the number and size of the speakers used. Positioning the front speakers The front speakers should be placed right and left in front of the listening position like usual stereo speakers. You may move forward to the next menu topic using NEXT 2 ("right" key on the remote control). This area is used for feedback of the receiver, tuner frequencies, menu options, values and scrolling text messages. The different menu options are related to each other in a logical way. Let's assume you have no center speaker connected, and therefore switched CENTER LS to NO. If you try to use VOL CENTER, a message will be scrolled that this is not possible (INSTALL CENTER SPEAKER). Arrows in the display show you the possible moving directions. You can exit the menu at any time by pressing SETUP MENU. You can leave any option (values remain unchanged) by pressing 1 PREV. Chooses the speaker sizes of the used speakers, for optimal sound reproduction. The distance between the usual listening position and the speakers defines the delay time for the surround sound. Note: When using the 6 CHANNEL / DVD IN input, these values cannot be changed. [. . . ] if RDS stations are also carrying an EON signal (Enhanced Other Networks) , EON is displayed. This signal enables the tuner to search not only the chosen RDS station, but the whole EON station network for news and traffic information. 2 Press NEWS/TA: Once to display NEWS, this switches on the news announcement function. Twice to display TA, this switches on the traffic announcement function. [. . . ]
