The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal of a three - pin plug. NOTE After replacing or changing a fuse, the fuse cover in the plug must be replaced with a fuse cover which corresponds to the colour of the insert in the base of the plug or the word that is embossed on the base of the plug, and the appliance must not be used without a fuse cover.

Intrinsic to home theater, these modes can deliver realistic and powerful surround sound that recreates the movie theater experience. You may need to experiment with them to see which settings suit your home system and personal tastes. The DSP and STEREO modes are designed to be used with music sources but some DSP modes are also suited for film soundtracks. Again, try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like. You must choose one of the three cinema modes or the DSP mode in order to get surround sound. In STEREO mode only the front two speakers, and sometimes the subwoofer (if you have one), are used. STANDARD modes This mode is for pure decoding of Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS and MPEG sources. It is good for enjoying regular movies/videos that have been recorded in Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, DTS and MPEG. STANDARD 7. 1 is also the basic mode for enjoying sources with SURROUND BACK channels (VSX-859RDS only). You will only be able to access the second two modes if you have hooked up SURROUND BACK speaker(s). The display will show you what kind of source (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc. ) is being played. STANDARD Use this mode with sources that do not have SURROUND BACK channels. [. . . ] AC 230 V, 50/60 Hz European model . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
