[] CAUTIONS ON HANDLING• Switching the input function when input jacks are notconnectedA clicking noise may be produced if the input function is switchedwhen nothing is connected to the input jacks, if this happens, eitherturn down the MASTER VOLUME control or connect componentsto the input jacks.• Muting of PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKERterminalsThe PRE OUT jacks, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER terminalsinclude a muting circuit. Because of this, the output signals aregreatly reduced for several seconds after the power switch isturned on or input function, surround mode or any other-set-up ischanged. If the volume is turned up during this time, the output willbe very high after the muting circuit stops functioning. Always waituntil the muting 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 unplug the cord when you leave home for,say, a vacation.[] FEATURES1.
