[. . . ] candles), as they may cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury. ­ Containers with liquid in them, as they may fall and liquid may cause electrical shock to the user and/or damage to this unit. If the temperature inside this unit rises, it may cause fire, damage to this unit, and/or personal injury. Install this unit near the AC outlet and where the AC power plug can be reached easily. [. . . ] NOTE: When the CD player has both fixed and variable audio outputs, it is best to use the fixed output unless you find that the input to the receiver is so low that the sound is noisy, or so high that the signal is distorted. Connect the Play/Out jacks of a cassette deck, CDR, MD or other audio recorder to the Tape Monitor Play jacks 8. When the tape deck connected to these jacks is a three-head unit or has off-head playback, it will be possible to monitor the output of the source being recorded. Connect the audio and/or video outputs of a second audio recorder, VCR or other line-level audio device to the Video 1 Audio/Video Input Jacks 7. If a recorder is used, connect its Rec/In jacks to the matching outputs A. The audio output of any electronics product with a line-level output, such as a TV set, satellite receiver or DVD, may be connected to the Video 2 and Video 3 Audio/Video inputs BD. NOTE: In order to view the video signals of any devices connected to the Video 1 7, Video 2 B or Video 3 D Video Inputs, you will need to connect the Video Monitor Output K jack to the composite video input of your TV or other video display device. Connect the outputs of a turntable with a moving magnet cartridge to the Phono inputs 5. To insure that the phono playback is noisefree, connect the ground wire from the tone-arm to the Phono Ground terminal 2. We do not recommend that you use cables with an area of 0. 8 mm2 or smaller due to the power loss and degradation in performance that will occur. Questions about running cables inside walls should be referred to an installer or a licensed electrical contractor who is familiar with applicable local building codes in your area. When an optional, powered subwoofer (not the active Sub of a Sub/Sat-System) is used, connect the outputs of the mono Subwoofer Out jacks F to the line-level input of the subwoofer. If the subwoofer has no single line input, and if you cannot obtain sufficient woofer level using only one of the two inputs, use an optional Ysplitter to separate the sub mono signal from the receiver into two channels for the two inputs on the subwoofer. When a separate passive subwoofer is used, these connections will be made to the optional amplifier that powers the subwoofer. If a Sub/Sat system is used (active or passive), connect the Speaker 1 terminals G to the Installation and Connections speaker-level inputs on the subwoofer, and then connect the speaker-level outputs on the subwoofer to your main left and right speakers, following the instructions provided with the subwoofer. If your subwoofer can be switched on and off with a trigger signal from the receiver, connect either of the two Trigger Out mini-jacks Q to the subwoofer's Trigger Input with a suitable cable, which usually comes with the subwoofer, or may be purchased separately. This means that the subwoofer (which is otherwise usually switched on and off automatically by an internal signal sensor) stays on as long as you listen to music or movie sound. Even if no deep bass is present in the signal for a while, the subwoofer does not go into standby mode when it is controlled by the trigger signal. Otherwise, when controlled by a bass signal sensor, you may not experience the first bass impulse when bass returns, after the subwoofer has gone into standby mode, because it has to switch on first. This means that you may have a Speaker system 1 and a Speaker system 2 in two different rooms, each with its own active subwoofer that switches on when you select Speakers 1 or Speakers 2. You may also have two active subwoofers in one room, one that is always working with your main Speaker 1 set of speakers, the other to be switched on or off according to your taste if connected to the Sub Out linked to Speaker 2, without any speakers being connected to the Speaker 2 terminals. This makes it easy to add a second subwoofer only when watching movies, where extra bass level may be desirable. [. . . ] NOTES: · The Play and Pause functions are not available unless content has been selected for playback by navigating the menu system. While a selection is playing, the song title, artist and album name, if available on the iPod, will scroll across the upper line in the Display Û. The lower line will display the elapsed time of the track on the left, the play mode icon, and the time remaining on the right. When your iPod is docked in The Bridge and playing, you can choose to either use the display on the iPod or switch to the receiver's display for information. [. . . ]
