Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manufacturers instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufac- turer. 9. An appliance and cart combina- tion should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn. 10.Ventilation -“ Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in instal- lation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided. There should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.) and an opening behind the appliance. 11.Power Sources -“ The appliance should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. 12.Grounding or Polarization -“ The appliance may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.13.Power-Cord Protection -“ Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance. 14.Outdoor Antenna Grounding -“ If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides in- formation with regard to proper grounding of the mast and sup- porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna- discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of an- tenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1. 15.Lightning -“ For added protection for the appliance during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and discon- nect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges. 16.Power Lines -“ An outside antenna system should not be lo- cated in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. 17.Overloading -“ Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. 18.Object and Liquid Entry -“ Never push objects of any kind into the appliance through openings as they may touch danger- ous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance. 19.Servicing -“ Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous volt- age or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 20.Damage Requiring Service -“ Unplug the appliance form the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: A. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the appliance, C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water, D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper ad- justment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the appliance to its normal operation, E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way, and F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in perfor- mance -“ this indicates a need for service.

49 Listening Modes The TX-SR700/700E/600/600Es surround sound enables you to enjoy the presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room. The configuration of the speakers is very important for the surround sound. Refer to Connecting speakers on page 30. Before using a listening mode, make sure the Speaker Config, Speaker Distance, and Level Calibration parameters have been set (see pages 36 to 39) . Once the parameters have been set, it is not necessary to set them again. See page 51 for information regarding how to select the listening mode. Dolby D (Dolby Digital) The Dolby D mode is used to play Dolby Digital sources. Dolby Digital is digital data with AC-3 compression and a maximum of 5.1-channel* surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and LDs that have the mark and therefore recorded for 5.1-channel output. This source also comes from digital satellite broadcasts that support Dolby Digital. * 5.1-channel Digital Format The 5.1-channel digital surround format has a variety of versions including Dolby Digital and DTS. The 5.1-channel digital surround format enables the individual recording and playing of five full-range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) channels (left and right front, center, and two surround channels) plus an LFE channel (Low Frequency Effect) for the low-range effect sound. It will create a realistic sound that can be heard in the theaters and concert halls. Dolby Digital EX When using surround back speakers, the Dolby Digital source is played back using the Matrix 6.1-channel decoder. DTS The DTS mode is used to play DTS sources. DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data with a maximum 5.1-channel surround output (6.1-channel with DTS-ES Discrete sources) that allows for an extremely high-quality sound. This source signal requires a DVD player that supports DTS output and comes from DVDs, compact discs, and LDs that have the mark. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 With the addition of the surround back channel, this new format has all 6.1 channels recorded independently for a completely discrete digital format. Since all channels are recorded independently, high- fidelity surround playback with the increased feeling of a separated sound space is achieved. DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 This format has the surround back channel matrix encoded and inserted into the left and right surround channels so that at playback the output for the left, right, and back surround channels are decoded using a high-precision matrix decoder.Dolby Pro Logic II Opposed to Dolby Pro Logic, which had four channels (front, left, center, and surround) recorded into two channels with matrix processing and then played back in four channels, Dolby Pro Logic II uses a feedback logic circuit to have 5.1-channel surround audio (Dolby Surround, etc.) matrix-encoded into two channels and then played back in its original 5.1-channel form. Dolby Pro Logic II provides a Movie mode designed for playing movies and a Music mode designed for listening to music. In the Movie mode, the surround channels, which used to provide monaural output over only a narrow frequency range, now provide complete stereo output over the full frequency range. The result is movie viewing with a realistic feel of movement. The Music mode uses the surround channels to provide a natural soundfield that cannot be provided with normal stereo output. This mode can be used with VHS and DVD videos with the mark and certain television programs. The Music mode can be used with music compact discs and other stereo sources. DTS Neo:6 This mode is for 6.1-channel playback of sources such as PCM or analog sources that have only two channels. The outputs of all six channels are a wide frequency range with a great separation between the different channels. This mode can be set to the Cinema mode designed for playing movies and the Music mode designed for listening to music. The Cinema mode is good for movies. The reproduced surround sound provide the same realistic feel of movement as 6.1-channel sources. This mode can be used with VHS and television programs with stereo sound. The Music mode uses the surround channels to provide a natural sound space that cannot be provided with normal stereo output. This mode can be used with music CDs and other stereo sources. Direct This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality adjustment and filtration. The sound recorded for the right and left front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only and not output to the subwoofer. Pure Audio (TX-SR700/700E only) Same as the direct mode except that the pure audio mode also turns off the display window, turns off the power supply to the video circuitry, and minimizes the sources of noise. The result is high- fidelity music playback true to the original source. Note that if you connect a device to the COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT 2 jacks of the TX-SR700/700E, the relay switch activates and signals are output to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks. Therefore, the display on the monitor connected to the COMPONENT VIDEO OUTPUT jacks will not disappear. Stereo This mode has all the input sound output from the left and right front speakers. The subwoofer is also used for playback.

71 Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into the remote controller 4. Press and hold down the button (that corresponds to the command you are programming) on the remote controller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN lamp on the remote controller flashes twice. After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light again. 5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the commands you desire from the other remote controller and program them to buttons on the remote controller under the same MODE. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands to a different MODE (e.g., when programming from a different remote controller). 6. Press the MODE button that you pressed in step 2 to complete the programming. 7. Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure the learning function was performed properly. Notes: -The remote controller codes for Onkyo compact disc players, cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini disc recorder have already been programmed into buttons on the remote controller. You may, however, use these buttons to program the codes for other remote controllers. If you wish to restore the Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes, you must first erase the new codes (see page 72). -The remote controller has 318 memory slots (6 modes × 53 buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases, it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are more important than others. -If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times and turns off, then the remote controller has exited the programming mode because either you have made a mistake during programming or a time-out has occurred because no button has been pressed. Resume from Step 2. -If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Try programming under a different MODE button. -When you want to program a command to a button to which you have already programmed a command, simply follow the same procedure given and the previous programming for that button will be overwritten. -The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands, as do most other remote controllers. Though most remote controller codes can be memorized by the remote controller, be aware that some remote controllers use systems that are quite different from the remote controller and therefore may not be able to be programmed. -Some remote controllers have a single button that performs multiple functions (for example, the function may change each time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function must be programmed to a separate button on the remote controller. -Once you have transferred the commands from the other remote controller, refer to the instruction manual that came with that product for instructions on how to operate that product. -Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries that are low, you may not be able to program the commands of the other remote controller properly into the remote controller. See page 72 for how to erase the memorized commands from all buttons.
