be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so
as to provide protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information
with regard to proper grounding of the mast and sup-
porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size or grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
Overloading---Do not overload wall outlets, exten-
sion cords, or integral convenience receptacles, as
this may result in a fire or electric shock.

The following will help you get the most enjoyment from your DVD receiver system.
BEST LOCATION
The unit should be placed on a firm, flat surface, away from VCRs, stereos, radios, or large
speakers, as the magnetic flux from these devices may cause distortion in the sound and a poor
picture. If placed in a cabinet, be sure there is at least 1 of free space completely around the unit
for proper ventilation.
TO OBTAIN A CLEAR PICTURE
A DVD receiver is a precision device. If the optical pick-up lens and disc drive parts become dirty
or worn down, picture quality will become poor. To obtain a clear picture, regular inspection and
maintenance are recommended every 1,000 hours of use, depending on the operating environment.
Contact dealer for details.
PLAYABLE DISCS
This Tangent DVD receiver system will play the following types of discs: DVD, MP3, CD, CD-R,
and CD-RW with super-error correction ability. It is also capable of displaying picture CDs and digital
photo albums. It supports eight languages, up to 32 subtitles, and multi-angle viewing. It features
easy setup and operation with on-screen menus. It has full function CPU up grade able capability.
DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT
The unit's coaxial output capability enables you to connect an external six-channel AV amplifier
and processor with built-in Dolby Digital code and MPEG modulating capacity with just one
cord. This enables you to conveniently enjoy different DVD, CD, and Mp3 discs.
ANALOG AUDIO OUTPUT
Speaker system plug-and-play convenience through the built-in six-channel power amplifier
eliminates the use of an external power amplifier.
LASER-HEAD OVER-CURRENT
PROTECTION SYSTEM
To extend the service life of the laser head, the unit includes a unique laser-head over-current
protection system, ensuring a constant laser current.

No t es:
Do not direct the remote sensor toward
any light source, such as direct sunlight or
a strong fluorescent light, as it may cause
the unit to not operate correctly.
When other remote controls are used
nearby or when the remote is used near
equipment using infrared rays, interference
may occur.
Placing an object on the remote control
may cause it to inadvertently depress a
button, changing a function and shortening
battery life.
Do not glaze the front of the DVD receiver
with colored glass, as it may cause
interference with normal operation of the
controller.
Make sure there is no barrier between the
remote control and remote sensor, as it
could prevent the unit from receiving the
signal.
Do not spill water or put wet items on the
remote control.
Never disassemble remote control.
BATTERIES
INCORRECT USE OF BATTERIES MAY
CAUSE THEM TO LEAK, CORRODE OR EXP
LODE.
Battery Installation
1. Push down and out on the battery Compart-
ment cover to remove it.
2. Insert the two AAA batteries into the battery
compartment of the remote control, making
sure the + and - signs on the batteries and
inside the battery compartment match up.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
No t es:
Do not mix batteries from different manu-
facturers, nor old ones with new.
If the remote control will not be used for an
extended period of time, remove the
batteries to prevent damage-causing
corrosion.
Remove dead batteries immediately to
prevent damage-causing corrosion.
If battery leakage occurs, wipe the battery
liquid from the battery compartment, then
replace both batteries.
Always replace both batteries at the same
time, using new, fully charged batteries.
Life expectancy of batteries may vary
depending on amount of use.
Using the Remote Control
Point the remote control at the remote sensor
on the DVD receiver. When the signal is
received from the remote, the unit will function
accordingly. The remote will operate to
approximately 16' from the remote sensor at an

The configuration and arrangement of a
surround sound system's speakers is critical.
For maximum listening enjoyment, refer to the
Arrangement of Speakers section in this manual
prior to connecting speakers.
Su r r o u n d Sound Sp eak ers
Fr o n t o r m ain right an d l eft speaker s ;
cen t er speaker
These three speakers provide extensive
sound imaging and augment the dynamic effect
of the audio. A movie's principal dialogue comes
through these speakers.
Rear o r s u r r o u n d s o u n d s p eak ers
These two speakers provide 3-D dynamic
sound effects, and create an enveloping
atmosphere, as they add background sounds.
.
Su b w o o f er speaker
Provides rich and powerful bass, adding a
powerful dimension of realism.
No t ee: Audio recorded for the center speaker and
subwoofer will be assigned to the front and 3-D
rear speakers to obtain the optimum 3-D
surround sound effect.
The ideal surround sound speaker configur-
ation may vary according to room size and wall
material. The figure below illustrates a typical
arrangement.
Hi n t s :
Front or main speakers and central speaker
should be placed at the same level and in a way
that sound is oriented toward the listener's ears.
3D surround sound or rear speakers should
be placed 3' higher than the height of listener's
ears.
Subwoofer speaker may be placed anywhere
within the room, as its location produces little
effect on a listener's sensation to sound. To
obtain the optimum bass effect, a subwoofer is
recommended in home theater systems.

SPEAKERS ARRA NGEMENT
OF SPEA KERS

This well-designed DVD receiver provides
optimum sound quality when the speakers used
are within the range of their rated impedance.
Im p o r t ant
The minimum impedance of the five speaker
terminals is 4 ohm; for the subwoofer, it is
8 ohm.
If you want to use only one speaker or listen
to monophonic music, do not parallel connect
individual speakers to the left and right
channel terminals. See the figure on the left
below.
Co n n ecting Sp eak er Cables
1.Peel off approximately 1/ 2 of cable
insulation
2.Tighten the wire end (#2 below)
3.Open cable terminal by pressing back on
tab
4.Insert wire end into terminal
5.Release tab; make sure wire is in terminal
securely
No t e:: To prevent damage to the circuit, care
should be taken to prevent short circuiting from
occurring at the positive and negative poles of
the speaker cord.
