STEREO

SYSTEM

SET-UP

The

SA-6300

is

an

integrated

stereo

amplifier,

meaning

that

it

combines

a

pre-amplifier

and

power

amplifier

in

one

unit.

For

your

stereo

system,

you

will

need

at

least

one

pair

of

speaker

systems

and

one

program

source

such

as

a

turn-

table,

a

stereo

tuner,

or

a

tape

deck.

These

should

be

of

comparable

high

quality

to

the

SA-6300.

INSTALLATION

CAUTIONS

Avoid

installing

the

SA-6300

in

locations

such

as

the

following.

e

In

direct

sunlight,

near

radiators

or

other

heat

sources,

e

Humid

or

A

WORD

ABOUT

ROOM

ACOUSTICS

The

sound

heard

from

an

audio

system

is

greatly

influenced

by

conditions

in

the

listening

room.

The

size

and

shape

of

the

room,

materials

composing

the

walls,

ceiling

and

floor,

the

amount

and

distribution

of

furniture,

carpets,

draperies,

etc.

all

affect

the

resulting

sound.

In

general

it

is

advisable

to

place

speakers

with

their

backs

against

a

wall,

as

this

will

improve

bass

response.

Bare

rooms

with

low

ceilings,

hard

floors

and

hard,

reflective

walls

(especially

a

hard

wall

facing

the

speakers)

can

produce

an

excessively

‘“‘live’’

bril-

liant

sound

with

lack

of

clear

instrument

localiza-

tion

and

definition.

It

often

helps

in

such

cases

to

place

a

carpet

and

heavy,

soft

curtains

in

the

room.

Conversely,

a

‘“‘dead’”?

sound

can

be

caused

in

rooms

containing

heavy

carpeting

and

a

large

amount

of

upholstered

furniture.

This

can

often

be

improved

by

re-arranging

the

furniture.
