We recommend using outdoor antennasand 75 Ω/ohms coaxial cables.For heat dispersal, leave at least 10 cm of spacebetween the top, back and sides of this unit andthe wall or other components.2 CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION• Switching the input function when input jacksare not connectedA clicking noise may be produced if the inputfunction is switched when nothing is connected tothe input jacks. If this happens, either turn down theMASTER VOLUME control or connect componentsto the input jacks.• Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack andSPEAKER terminalsThe PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKERterminals include a muting circuit. Because of this,the output signals are greatly reduced for severalseconds after the power switch is turned on or inputfunction, surround mode or any other-set-up ischanged. If the volume is turned up during this time,the output will be very high after the muting circuitstops functioning. Always wait until the mutingcircuit turns off before adjusting the volume.• Whenever the power switch is in the £ OFFstate, the apparatus is still connected on AC linevoltage.Please be sure to unplug the cord when youleave home for, say, a vacation.3 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING10 cm or more10 cm or morewall
