must never be blocked or covered.
- Do not place this apparatus in a confined space,
such as a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless
proper ventilation is provided.
- Do not place this apparatus near or over a radiator
or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct
sunlight.
- Do not place vessels (vases etc.) containing water
on this apparatus. A water spill can cause a fire or
electric shock.
• Do not expose this apparatus to rain or place it near
water (near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, etc.). If this apparatus accidentally gets wet,
unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately.
• This apparatus uses batteries. In your community,
there might be environmental regulations that require
you to dispose of these batteries properly. Please
contact your local authorities for disposal or recycling
information.
• Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
adaptors beyond their capacity, since this can result in
fire or electric shock.
• Route power-supply cords so that they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against
them. Pay particular attention to cords at the plug end,
at wall outlets, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
• To protect this apparatus from a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect
the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage
to the set due to lightning and power line surges.
• Before connecting the AC power cord to the DC
adaptor outlet, make sure the voltage designation of
the DC adaptor corresponds to the local electrical
supply.
• Never insert anything metallic into the open parts
of this apparatus. Doing so may create a danger of
electric shock.
• To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of this
apparatus. Only a qualified technician should open this
apparatus.
• Make sure to plug the power cord in until it is firmly
seated. When unplugging the power cord from a wall
outlet, always pull on the power cord's plug. Never
unplug by pulling on the power cord. Do not touch the
power cord with wet hands.
• If this apparatus does not operate normally - in
particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells
coming from it - unplug it immediately and contact an
authorized dealer or service center.
• Maintenance of Cabinet.
- Before connecting other components to this
product, be sure to turn them off.
- If you move your product suddenly from a cold place
to a warm place, condensation may occur on the
operating parts and lens and cause abnormal disc
playback. If this occurs, unplug the product, wait for
two hours, and then connect the plug to the power
outlet. Then, insert the disc, and try to play back
again.
• Be sure to pull the power plug out of the outlet if the
product is to remain unused or if you are leaving the
house for an extended period of time (especially when
children, elderly, or disabled people will be left alone in
the house).
- Accumulated dust can cause an electric shock, an
electric leakage, or a fire by causing the power cord
to generate sparks and heat or the insulation to
deteriorate.
• Contact an authorized service center for information
if you intend to install your product in a location with
heavy dust, high or low temperatures, high humidity,
chemical substances, or where it will operate 24 hours
a day such as in an airport, a train station, etc. Failing
to do so may lead to serious damage of your product.
• Use only a properly grounded plug and wall outlet.
- An improper ground may cause electric shock or
equipment damage. (Class l Equipment only.)
• To turn this apparatus off completely, you must
disconnect it from the wall outlet. Consequently, the
wall outlet and power plug must be readily accessible
at all times.

(such as general eyeglasses, sunglasses, protective
goggles, etc.)
• Do not use the 3D function or 3D Active Glasses while
walking or moving around. Using the 3D function or 3D
Active Glasses while moving around may cause you to
bump into objects, trip, and/or fall, and cause serious
injury.
• If you want to enjoy 3D content, connect a 3D device
(3D compliant AV receiver or TV) to the product’s HDMI
OUT port using a high-speed HDMI cable. Put on 3D
glasses before playing the 3D content.

resolution of the original 3D video. You can not change
the resolution.
• Some functions such as BD Wise, screen size
adjustment, and resolution adjustment may not operate
properly in 3D play mode.
• You must use a high-speed HDMI cable for proper
output of the 3D signal.
• Stay at least three times the width of the screen from
the TV when watching 3D images. For example, if you
have a 46 inch screen, stay 138 inches (11.5 feet) from
the screen.
• Place the 3D video screen at eye level for the best 3D
picture.
• When the product is connected to some 3D devices,
the 3D effect may not function properly.

Position of the product
Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.
Selecting the Listening Position
The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the TV's screen size away from the TV. For
example, if you have a 46 inch screen, locate the listening position 115 to 138 inches (9.6 to 11.5 feet) from the
screen.
Front Speakers
Place these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about
45°) toward you. Place the front speakers so that their tweeters will be at the
same height as your ear. Align the front face of the front speakers with the front
face of the center speaker or place them slightly in front of the center speakers.
Center Speaker It is best to install the Center Speaker at the same height as the front speakers.
You can also install it directly over or under the TV.
Surround Speakers
Place these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isn't enough
room, place these speakers so they face each other. Position them about 2 to 3
feet (60 to 90cm) above your ear, facing slightly downward.
* Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround speakers are used mainly
for sound effects. Sound will not come from them all the time.
Subwoofer The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.
* The appearance of your speakers may differ from the illustrations in this manual.
* Match the speaker cables to the colored label on the back of the speaker, and then plug them into the
jack of the same color. See page 10 for exact instructions.

✎If you place a speaker near your TV set, the screen color may be distorted because of the magnetic field.
✎Place the wireless receiver module at the rear of the listening position. If the wireless receiver module is too
close to the product, sound from the speakers may be disrupted because of interference.
✎If you use a device such as a microwave oven, wireless LAN Card, Bluetooth device, or any other device
that uses the 2.4/5.8GHz frequencies near the product, sound from the speakers may be disrupted because
of interference.
✎The maximum transmission distance from the product to the wireless receiver module is about 33 feet (10m),
but may vary depending on your operating environment. If a steel-concrete wall or metallic wall is between
the product and the wireless receiver module, the system may not operate at all, because the radio waves
cannot penetrate metal.
