Precautions
Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install
your player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the
ventilation slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other
equipment which may become hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for
continuous use. Switching off the DVD player to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to
disconnect the player completely from the power supply, remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused
for a long period of time.
Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess
heat(e.g.fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or
electric fields (i.e.speakers...). Disconnect the power cable from
the AC supply if the player malfunctions. Your player is not
intended for industrial use.
Use of this product is for personal use only.
Condensation may occur if your player or disc have been
stored in cold temperatures.
If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately
2 hours until the unit has reached room temperature before using.
During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from
the wall outlet.
Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat
sources.
This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the
unit.
The battery used with this product contain chemicals
that are harmful to the environment.
Do not dispose of batteries in the general household
trash.

defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
UTD R ANTENNA GR UNDING
•If an outside antenna is connected to the
antenna terminal, be sure the antenna system
is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static
charges.
•In the U.S.A section 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
See the figure below.

Connecting the Speakers
Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
•
Place these speakers behind your listening position.
•
If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they
face each other.
•
Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear,
facing slightly downward.
❈ Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround
speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and
sound will not come from them all the time.
Surround Speakers
SL SR
•
Place these speakers in front of your listening
position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.
•
Place the 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 speaker.
Front Speakers
•
It is best to install it at the same height as the front
speakers.
•
You can also install it directly over or under the TV.
Center Speaker
•
Place AV Receiver on a dedicated stand or rack.
Position of AV Receiver
•
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical.
Place it anywhere you like.
Subwoofer
•
When you attach the speakers to a wall, make sure to
fasten them tightly so they do not fall off.
•
If more bass is desired, you can
connect an additional active
subwoofer (not supplied) to the
Subwoofer 1or 2 port. Since the
signal on the Subwoofer 1and 2 ports
is not stereo, you will hear the same
mono bass sound regardless of the
port you connect to.
•
Never touch speaker terminals while the power is on.
Doing so could result in electric shock.
•
Make sure the polarities (+ and -) are correct.
•
Keep the subwoofer speaker out of reach of children to prevent them from inserting their hands or objects
into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer speaker.
