[. . . ] Do not install the appliance in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet. Don't throw away batteries with general house waste; dispose of them correctly as chemical waste.

[. . . ] â· NO If you have not connected a surround back speaker, select "NO". tip The "LARGE" and "SMALL" settings for each speaker determine whether the internal sound processor will cut the bass signal from that channel. When the bass is cut from a channel, the bass redirection circuitry sends the corresponding bass frequencies to the sub woofer or other "LARGE" speakers. However, since bass sounds have a certain amount of directionality, it is best not to cut them, if possible. Therefore, even when using small speakers, you can set them to "LARGE" if you want to output the bass frequencies from that speaker. On the other hand, if you are using a large speaker, but prefer not to have bass frequencies output from that speaker, set it to "SMALL". If the overall sound level is lower than you prefer, set all speakers to "LARGE". If there is not enough bass, you can use the equalizer to boost the bass levels. Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the front speakers (A). If both front speakers are not placed an equal distance from your listening position, set the distance as the average distance between the front speakers. Lets you set the distance from your listening position to the center speaker. For other sound fields, speaker position is not so critical. Those sound fields were designed under the premise that the surround speakers would be located behind the listening position, but presentation remains fairly consistent even with the surround speakers positioned at a rather wide angle. However, if the speakers are pointing toward the listener from the immediate left and right of the listening position, the surround effects become unclear unless set to "SIDE/LO" or "SIDE/HI". Nevertheless, each listening environment has many variables, such as wall reflections, and you may obtain better results using "BEHD/HI" if your speakers are located high above the listening position, even if they are located to the immediate left and right. Therefore, although it may result in a setting contrary to the above explanation, we recommend that you playback multi channel surround encoded software and select the setting that provides a good sense of spaciousness and that best succeeds in forming a cohesive space between the surround sound from the surround speakers and the sound of the front speakers. If you are not sure which sounds best, select "BEHD/LO" or "BEHD/HI" and then use the speaker distance parameter and speaker level adjustments to obtain proper balance. This setup item is only available when at least one speaker is set to "SMALL" and the corresponding speaker indicator flashes on the display. You can also use DIMMER on the receiver. ) mode allows you to listen to higher fidelity sound and select the decoding mode for listening to a 2 channel stereo sound as multi channel sound.
