around the player for adequate ventilation.
●Do not expose your player to extreme temperatures or
humidity.
Maintenance
●When a disc becomes dirty, clean it
with a cleaning cloth.Wipe the disc
from the center out, in a straight
line.
●Do not expose the player, batteries
or discs to humidity, rain, sand or
excessive heat (caused by heating
equipment or direct sunlight.)
Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid getting dust on
the lens.
●Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog
discs.
●The lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly
moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it
impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm
environment until the moisture evaporates.

Step 3: Connecting a TV
IMPORTANT!
–There are various ways to connect the system
to aTV (as shown in the illustration), it depends
on the capabilities of your TV system.
–The progressive scan video quality is only
possible through Pr/Cr Pb/CbY output and a
progressive scan TV is required.
●To view the DVD playback
Use the video cable (yellow) to connect the system’s
VIDEO OUT jack to the video input jack on the TV.
●You can make an extra video connection with
one of the following options if yourTV has the
same input connector
Option 1
1Use the component video cables (red/blue/green) to
connect the system’s Pr/Cr Pb/CbY jacks to the
corresponding Pr/Cr Pb/Cb Y input jacks on the TV.
2If you are using a Progressive Scan TV (TV must
indicate Progressive Scan or ProScan capability), set the
P-SCAN switch (located at rear panel) to “ON.”
Otherwise, set it to “OFF.“
OR
Option 2
Use the S-video cable (not supplied) to connect the
system’s S-VIDEO OUT jack to the S-Video input jack on
the TV.
IMPORTANT!
If S-VIDEO or Component video Pr/Cr Pb/CbY is
used for DVD playback connection, the system’s
VIDEO OUT setting will need to be set
accordingly. Details are on page 14.
●If yourTV only has an RF-style jack (Antenna In or
75 ohm)
You will need an RF modulator in order to view the
playback of DVD dics on your TV. Ask your dealer for
details on RF modulator availability and compatibility.
Follow the instructions provided with the RF modulator to

Please sit at your usual listening position in order
to set up the speaker balance correctly.
Placing the speakers
To obtain the best surround effect, place the speakers as
follows.
1Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances
from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees
from the listening position.
2Place the center speaker above or below the TV so the
center channel’s sound is localized.
3Place the surround speakers at normal listening ear level
facing each other or mounted on the wall.
4Place the subwoofer on the floor near theTV.
Notes:
–To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front
speakers too close to your TV.
–If the rear surround speakers are installed farther away
from the listening position than the front and center speakers,
it will weaken the surround effect.
–All speakers should be securely installed to prevent
accidents and improve sound quality.
