IMPORTANT NOTICE

The main lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin

face of the plug and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used.

Never use the plug with the fuse cover removed. If the cover is detachable and a replacement is required, it must be of the same

colour as the fuse fitted in the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you

should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.

However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the

plug to a main socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.

Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a main socket. A plug and fuse must be used at all times.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the main lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:–

BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE

As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as fol-

lows:–

What is MP3?

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or

MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a

data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*).

That means,by using MP3 format, one CD-R or CD-RW can

contain 10 times as much data volume as a regular CD can.

*Bit rate is the average number of bits that one second of

audio data will consume. The measuring unit used is Kbps

(1000 bits per second).

To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The

most popular bit rate for encoding (recording)is 128 Kbps.

MP3 File Compatibility

This system can only read MP3 files that are recorded in

the format that is compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1 or

Level 2.

The system can read or play MP3 files only with the

extension code —“.mp3 ”.

ID3*tags cannot be shown on the display.

*An MP3 file can contain file information called “ID3 Tag ”

where its album name, performer, rack title, etc. are

recorded. There are two versions —ID3v1 (ID3 Tag ver-

sion 1)and ID3v2 (ID3 Tag version 2).

CD-R/RW playback compatibility

Your DVD player can also play CD-R and CD-RW discs

recorded in digital audio format. When recording your own

CD-R or CD-RW discs, make sure that the recording ses-

sion is properly terminated, or they will not be playable.

(Depending on disc properties and recording quality,

some CD-R/RW may not be playable.)

CD-RW has a lower reflection rate than CD-R media and

consequently it will take a longer to read CD-R discs.

CD-RW discs recorded at high speed tend to be difficult

for the DVD player to read. If the recording speed for the

CD-RW disc is not predetermined, write it at low speed.

Press the Stop ( ) button.

To stop during playback

To set the delay time

When 5.1 Channel Surround Sound is played, you can enjoy the

best sound if the distance between you and each speaker is the

same. You can set Delay Time in the Center/Rear Speaker to

customize the sound to the acoustics of your room.

Setting Center Speaker

If the distance of Dc is equal to or longer than the distance of Df in

the figure, set the mode as 0ms.

Otherwise, change the setting according to the table on the table.

Setting Rear Speakers

If the distance of Df is equal to the distance of Ds in the figure, set

the mode as 0ms.

Otherwise, change the setting according to the table.

Speaker Setting Methods

Front Speakers

Set the front speakers so that their tweeters (high-range) are aligned

at about ear level and at a horizontal angle of 45° to the prime

listening position.

Center Speaker

Ideally the center speaker should be positioned with its top surface

flush with the front speakers. However, you may place the speaker

either on top or near the bottom of your TV set.

Rear Speakers

Set the rear speakers further back parallel to the walls, at 60 to 90

centimeters (2 to 3 feet) above prime listening position ear level.

If the space behind the listening position is insufficient (i.e., too

close to the wall), place the rear speakers facing each other on

either side.

Subwoofer Speaker

Place the subwoofer at any convenient location within the vicinity of

the listening position.

not use abrasive powders, liquids or aerosol cleaners. Never let any liquids

get into the system.

remove the batteries to prevent corrosion.

Although your system is very hard-wearing, it should not be

used in an excessively dusty environment or subjected to

shocks or extreme heat (close to heating appliances or in

direct sunlight, etc.).

To prevent erasing a cassette that you wish to keep, remove the

safety tab on the upper edge of the cassette. To record a cassette,

where the tab has been broken, simply cover the opening with

adhesive tape.

When you have finished playing a cassette, always put it back in its

they will not be exposed to high temperatures.

Avoid using 120-minute cassettes as they place unnecessary strain

on the tape mechanism.

Handle your compact discs with care. Always hold them by the

edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the shiny surface.

When you have finished playing a compact disc, always put it back

in its case.

Do not fix paper or adhesive tape to the discs and do not write on
