BEFORE USING
Pay attention to the following before using this unit:
• Moving the set
To prevent short circuits or damaged wires in the
connection cords, always unplug the power supply
cord and disconnect the connection cords between
all other audio components when moving the set.
• Before turning the power operation switch on
Check once again that all connections are proper
and that there are not problems with the connection
cords. Always set the power operation switch to the
standby position before connecting and disconnecting
connection cords.
• Store this instructions in a safe place
After reading, store this instructions along with the
warranty in a safe place.
• Note that the illustrations in this instructions
may differ from the actual set for explanation
purposes.
• V. AUX terminal
The AVR-1705’s front
panel is equipped with
a V. AUX terminal.
Remove the cap
covering the terminal
when you want to use
it.
Noise or disturbance of the picture may be generated
if this unit or any other electronic equipment using
microprocessors is used near a tuner or TV.
If this happens, take the following steps:
• Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or
TV.
• Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away
from this unit’s power supply cord and input/output
connection cords.
• Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly
when using indoor antennas or 300 Ω/ohms feeder
wires. We recommend using outdoor antennas
and 75 Ω/ohms coaxial cables.
For heat dispersal, leave at least 10 cm of space
between the top, back and sides of this unit and
the wall or other components.

CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION
• Switching the input function when input jacks
are not connected
A clicking noise may be produced if the input
function is switched when nothing is connected to
the input jacks. If this happens, either turn down the
MASTER VOLUME control or connect components
to the input jacks.
• Muting of PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and
SPEAKER terminals
The PRE OUT jack, HEADPHONE jack and SPEAKER
terminals include a muting circuit. Because of this,
the output signals are greatly reduced for several
seconds after the power operation switch is turned
on or input function, surround mode or any other set-
up is changed. If the volume is turned up during this
time, the output will be very high after the muting
circuit stops functioning. Always wait until the
muting circuit turns off before adjusting the volume.
• Whenever the unit is in the STANDBY state, the
apparatus is still connected on AC line voltage.
Please be sure to turn the power off (
£ off) when
you leave home for, say, a vacation.
