Dear Friend,
Thank you for pur chas ing my SunÞ re Ultimate Receiver. I hope that you enjoy it and the music it makes as much as
I have en joyed creating it for you.
The SunÞ re Ultimate Receiver is unlike any Home The ater prod uct on the market. For one thing, we have taken spe cial
pains to make it as easy to use as possible. We’ve designed it to virtually do the thinking for you, so you can quickly Þ gure
out how to listen to your favorite vid eo tape, DVD or to bring in your favorite FM station.
When you use the “Full Automatic Operation” feature, the correct set tings are made by its sophisticated mi cro pro -
ces sors. So, when you turn on your video component, the pro ces sor will choose the proper in put for you. All you have
to do is adjust the volume the way you want, then sit back and enjoy. The same holds true if you wish to listen to a CD,
watch a DVD and more. The automatic video format transcoder up-converts composite video and S-video to component
