If this happens,either turn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connectcomponents to the input jacks.• Muting of PRE OUT jacks and SPEAKER terminalsThe PRE OUT jacks and SPEAKER terminals include a mutingcircuit. Because of this, the output signals are greatly reduced forseveral seconds after the power switch is turned on or inputfunction, surround mode or any other-set-up is changed. If thevolume is turned up during this time, the output will be very highafter the muting circuit stops functioning. Always wait until themuting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume.• Whenever the power switch is in the STANDBY state, theapparatus is still connected on AC line voltage.Please be sure to turn off the power switch or unplug the cordwhen you leave home for, say, a vacation.
