While complex digital systems are hard
at work within the AVR75 to make all of
this happen, hook-up and operation are
simple. Color-keyed connections, a com-
prehensive remote control and on-screen
menus make the AVR75 easy to use. To
obtain the maximum enjoyment from
your new receiver we urge you to take a
few minutes to read through this manual.
This will ensure that connections to

Safety Information
CATV or Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to this product, be certain that
it is grounded so as to provide some pro-
tection against voltage surges and static
charges. Section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
provides information with respect 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
antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes and requirements
of the grounding electrode.

Important Safety Information
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
Your AVR75 has been designed for use
with 120-volt AC current. Connection to a
line voltage other than that for which it
is intended can create a safety and fire
hazard, and may damage the unit.
