• Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are additionally used as content protection systems for Blu-ray Disc format, which imposes certain restrictions including playback restrictions for BD-ROM Mark and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain additional information on AACS, BD-ROM Mark, BD+, or this product, please contact an authorized Customer Service Center.

• Many BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your player directly to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture from copy-protected discs.

Fix the upper cabinet and the lower cabinet from the backside of the speaker using the two screws (M4 x 12). Caution

• Be careful not to tighten screws excessively. If excessive force is used to tighten screws, the threads of screw and/or nut may be damaged. Use a middle-sized manual screwdriver during assembly. Do not use power screwdrivers or oversized screwdrivers that may exert excessive force on the screws and nuts. Confirm that no foreign matter is stuck to the base or the lower cabinet during assembly. If the unit is assembled with foreign matter stuck between the base and lower cabinet, the unit may not be assembled securely, resulting in tipping or falling.

• Do not stand on the speaker stand base of the tall speaker to push or swing the speaker. The speaker may fall and break, or someone may be injured. Pay special attention to children.

Wall mounting the speaker for BCS-727 The center speaker have a mounting hole which can be used to mount the speaker on the wall. Before mounting Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the screws to work loose, or the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the speaker falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the speakers on is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls. Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws suitable for the wall material and support the weight of the speaker. Caution

Additional notes on speaker for BCS-727 Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV. Precautions: The center speaker supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion may occur if the speaker is installed extremely close to the screen of a television set. If this case happens, turn the power switch of the television set OFF, and turn it ON after 15 min. to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set. The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor. Magnetic storage media (such as floppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept close to the subwoofer. Do not attach the front/surround speakers and subwoofer to a wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury. Positioning the system for BCS-727 The following illustration shows an example of positioning the system.
