REFER ALL SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

• The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
• Do not use where there are extremes of temperature (below 5°C or exceeding 35°C) or where direct sunlight may strike it.
• Because of the DVD player's extremely low noise and wide dynamic range, there might be a tendency to set the volume on the amplifier unnecessarily high. Doing so may produce an excessively large output from the amplifier which could damage your speakers.
• Sudden changes in the ambient temperature may cause condensation to form on the optical lens inside the unit. If this happens, take out the disc, leave the unit for about 1 hour, and then proceed to operate.
• When carrying the unit, be sure to remove a disc which may be inside and turn the power off. Wait at least 10 seconds, then unplug the mains lead from the AC outlet. Carrying the unit with a disc inside may damage the disc and/or the unit.
• Do not install this equipment in a confined space, such as a book case or built in cabinet.
• Placing the unit in a well ventilated area is strongly recommended. Do not place any object on the top of the unit.

Do not block ventilation holes.

Selecting TV system

Before connecting, be sure the TV SYSTEM switch (rear of the unit) setting corresponds with your local TV system (PAL or NTSC).

After all connections have been made, connect the mains lead to an AC outlet.

Note:

• Do not connect the mains lead to an AC outlet until all connections have been made.
• The system is not completely disconnected from the mains when the ⏻/ON button is set to the ⏻ position.

Speaker connections

To achieve proper stereo reproduction, connect the speaker wires without shorting to adjacent wires as shown in figure.

Speaker wire colour	Use
Black and Red	Front right speaker
Black and Blue	Front left speaker
Black and Green	Centre speaker
Black and Orange	Surround right speaker
Black and Gray	Surround left speaker
Black and Brown	Subwoofer

Speaker placement

The supplied speaker has built-in magnetic stray field compensation. It may be placed close to a TV without affecting the colour purity.

Five speakers are all the same and can be used for Front left, Centre, Front right, Surround left and Surround right speakers.

Note:

If you use the other speaker system, please refer to "Speaker" under "INITIAL SETTINGS". (See Page 16.)

Example: To hang the speaker on a wall

Round head screw (not supplied)

Example: To mount the speaker with a stand

Note: Be careful of falling the speaker system, it might cause the damage or serious injuries.

Aerial connections

In areas close to a transmitter the simple indoor aerial is sufficient to receive broadcasts. Extend the aerial wire as straight as possible and, while listening to the sound from the system, secure it in a position which yields minimal distortion and noise.

In fringe areas or where reception is distorted or noisy, an external aerial (not supplied) should be connected instead of the simple indoor aerial. Consult your dealer.

AM loop aerial

Assemble the loop aerial.

Unwind the aerial wires, then connect them to the AM LOOP terminals. Place the loop aerial in a position which yields the best AM reception, or attach it to a wall or other surface.

Screws (not supplied)

Note:

To minimize noise, the speaker, mains and any other leads should not come close to the indoor or external aerial lead and AM loop aerial. Do not place the aerial leads close to the system.

Connecting to a TV with the video lead
