Installing on the wall7
You can install the unit on the wall.
CAUTION
The unit weighs approximately 3.4 k• g. Sufficient
care must be taken when installing it on the wall to
prevent any accidents caused by its falling off.
Use screws, which are compatible with the strength•
and material of the pillar or wall to prevent the unit
from falling off.
Do not install the unit onto a plywood or•
plasterboard wall; otherwise, it will fall and sustain
damage.
When installing the unit on the wall;•
Be sure to have it installed on the wall by qualified–
personnel.
Care must be taken when selecting a location–
for installation on the wall. Injury to personnel or
damage to equipment may result if the installed
unit interferes with daily activities.
AC adaptor should not be hanging/placed above–
any other items. Place the AC adaptor on the flat
floor only.
Using the core filter
To reduce interference, be sure to attach the
provided core filters to the power cord and the
external component cord.
Run the cable through the core filter, and wind it
firmly once inside. Close the core filter until it clicks
shut.
CAUTION
Do not damage the cord by applying expressive force•
when winding.
Connecting the TV – viewing
the video/picture from iPod on
your TV
You can view a video/picture from iPod connected
to the unit on your TV. Connect the video input
terminal on your TV, etc. to the IPOD VIDEO terminal
with the video cord (not supplied).
Setting the video output7
While the source is selected to IPOD and iPod is not
connected to the unit...
Press and hold iPod 6(main unit).
Each time you press and hold the button, the
indicator and effect changes as follows:
VIDEOOFF (the video/picture from iPod is shown on
iPod itself) |\VIDEO ON (the video/picture from
iPod is shown on the TV)
Connecting external
components
You can connect an analog component to the
ANALOG IN terminal and digital components to the
(OPTICAL) DIGITAL IN 1 and (COAXIAL) DIGITAL IN 2
terminals.
You can also connect a subwoofer to the
SUBWOOFER PRE-OUT terminal.
Connecting the FM antenna
Extend the FM antenna when connecting so that
you can obtain the best reception.
NOTES
Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any•
other terminals, connecting cords or the power cord.
Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of
the main unit, connecting cords, and the AC power
cord. Otherwise, it could cause poor reception.
If you want to get a better reception, disconnect the•
supplied FM antenna, and connect to an outdoor FM
antenna (not supplied) using a 75 Ω wire with coaxial
type connector (IEC or DIN45325).
Installing the unit
Install the unit on a flat and level surface to ensure
the best sound quality.
The sound may be affected depending on the•
location in which you install it. To avoid such
issues, change the location and orientation of the
unit.
For cathode-ray tube television (CRT):•
If you install the unit near the TV, color distortion–
may occur. To prevent this, turn off the TV’s main
power or unplug it before installing the unit.
Wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the
TV’s main power again.
If the TV is still affected, move the unit further–
away.
CAUTION
Do not drag or push the unit on the floor or table.•
Otherwise, the foot spacers at the bottom may peel
off or drop from the unit.
Preparing the remote control
When you use the remote control for the first time,
pull out the insulation sheet.
If the range or effectiveness of the remote control
decreases, replace the battery.
To replace the battery in the remote7
control
Insert the battery into the remote control by
matching the polarities (+ and –) correctly.
NOTES
Store the battery in a place where children cannot•
reach. If a child accidentally swallows the battery,
consult a doctor immediately.
To prevent the battery from overheating, cracking, or•
starting a fire:
Do not recharge, short, disassemble or heat the–
battery, or dispose of it in a fire.
Do not leave the battery with other metallic–
materials.
Wrap the battery with tape and insulate when–
throwing away or saving it.
Do not poke the battery with tweezers or similar–
tools.
Dispose of the battery in the proper manner,•
according to federal, state, and local regulations.
