Don't place this unit in a bookcase or between cabinets, or where curtains or furniture may obstruct the ventilation holes. Place this unit away from heat-emitting ap- pliances. Never place this unit near a radiator, heat register, stove, or any other heat-emitting equipment (including ampl- fiers). Placement Place the unit on a stable, vibration-fe9, level shel or stand, Use of a cart or stand When deciding on a cart or stand, be sure to follow the recommendations for this unit in the operating instruc- tions. Wall or celling installation If the units to be mounted on a wall or ceiling, be sure to {do s0 only as recommended in the operating instructions, Check the voltage rating of this unit before connecting the unit to a power supply. Be sure to connect the unit only to the type ot power supply indicated in the operating instructions, or as Indicated on the unit itset. Concerning the power outlet(s) of this unit It this unit nas a buit-in electric power receptacle, be sure to connect only equipment with a power rating not ‘exceeding that indicated by the receptacle of this unit (Only connect aucio equipment to this outlet) Care of the power cord and plug ‘Take care that the cord is not bent sharply (especially near its connection to the unit or near the plug), that nothing is placed on it, and that it is not pinched or crushed. Never take hold ofthe plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always be sure to grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it Grounding or polarization ‘The precautions that should be taken so that the ground- Ing or polarization means ofan appliance is not defeated. 12. 13. 14, 15. 16. Outdoor antenna grounding Han outside antenna is connected tothe receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NEPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, sizeof grounding conductors, location of fantenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure below. Power lines When installing an outdoor antenna, install it as far as possible from power lines. If the unit will not be used for a long period of time: Be sure to disconnect the power cord, Never attempt repairs yourself (a)It the power cord or plug is damaged. (0)If @ foreign object or liquid tals into the unit. (6) If the unit is exposed to rain, (4)If the unit does not function normally, or it operation shows an unusual change. (e) Ifthe unit has been dropped and the cabinet or chassis are damaged ...0te. Unplug the power cord and consult with @ qualifies technician (or the dealer from whom the unit was purchased or the nearest service center) Repairs Except for adjustments explained in the operating instruc tions, do not attempt any repairs yourself. Be sure to request service from a qualified technician (or your dealer fr nearest service center).Technical Specifications (IHF 78) | _MAIN AMPLIFIER SECTION (input signal: EXTINPUT) Rated minimum sine wave RMS power output 20 H2~20 kHz both channels driven 0.003% total harmonic distortion 120W per channel (8 ohms) 20 H2~20 kHz both channels driven 0.007% total harmonic distortion 120W per channel (4 ohms) 11 kHz continuous power output both channels driven 0.001% total harmonic distortion +20W per channel (8 ohms) 0.00164 total harmonic distortion 120W per channel (4 ohms) 0.8 dB (8 ohms) 0.9 68 (4 ohms) Dynamic headroom Total harmonic distortion rated power at 20 Hz~20 kHz half power at 20 H2~20 kHz halt power at 1 kHz ‘SMPTE intermodulation distortion 0.003% (8 ohms) 0.002% (8 ohms) 0.001% (8 ohms) 0.007% (8 ohms) Low frequency damping factor 80 (8 ohms) 40 (4 ohms) Load impedance MAIN or REMOTE 4-16 ohms MAIN and REMOTE 8-16 ohms Headphones output impedance 380 ohms, ll PRE AMPLIFIER SECTION Frequency response PHONO RIAA standard curve 40.2 d8 ‘TUNER, CD, TV/AUX 1, VIDEO/AUX 2 TAPE 1/DA TAPE, TAPE 2/VCR — 2Hz~140 kHz, ~9 dB 20 Hz~20 kHz, +0 dB, -0.1 dB Input sensitivity PHONO MM 0.25 mv (2.5 mV, IHF 66) mc 17 pV (170 pV, IMF °66) TUNER, CD, TV/AUX 1, VIDEO/AUX 2 ‘TAPE 1/DA TAPE, TAPE 2/VCR 15 mV (150 mV, IHF 66) S/N (IHF, A) PHONO MM 78 dB (90 dB, IHF 66) mc 78 dB (72 dB, IHF '65) TUNER, CD, TV/AUX 1, VIDEO/AUX 2 TAPE 1/DA TAPE, TAPE 2/VCR 83 dB (110 dB, IHF '65) ‘Maximum input voltage PHONO MM 150 mV (170 mv, 1 kHz) mc 10 mV (12 mV, 1 kHz) Input impedance PHONO MM 47 kilohms me 220 ohms TUNER, CD, TV/AUX 4, VIDEO/AUX 2 TAPE 1/DA TAPE, TAPE 2/VCR 18 kilohms Tone controls bass 50 Ha, +10 dB~ ~10.d8 treble 20 kHz, +10 dB~ ~10 dB ‘Turnover frequency bass 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz treble 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz 20 Hz, ~6 dB/oct 50 Ha, 19.48 “20 48 ‘Subsonic filter Loudness control (volume at Mating Output voltage 30 48) TAPE 1/DA TAPE, TAPE 2/VCR REC OUT — 150 mV’ VIDEO SECTION (TV/AUX 1, VIDEO/AUX 2, TAPE 2/VCR) Output voltage (at 1V input 75 ohms unbalanced) 1V 40.1 Vp-p ‘Maximum input voltage 15.Vp-p Input/output impedance 75 ohms unbalanced GENERAL Power consumption 420W, 520 VA Power supply AC 120V, 60 Hz 490 «147 992 mm (16-15/16" 5.25/92" x 15-19/32") 135 kg (29.8 ib) Dimensions (WFD) Weight Not ‘Total harmonic distortion is measured by the digital spectrum analyzer (H.P. 3045 system) NOTE: ‘This equipment generates and uses radio frequency eneray and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may ‘cause interference to radio and television reception.
