Wiring the Main Power Supply Plug (UK Only)

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The mains 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 mains socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord. Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a mains socket. A plug and fuse must be used at all times.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains 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 follows:-The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

WARNING : DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL ──, OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.

Position of the product

Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV stand.

Selecting the Listening Position

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3 times the distance of the TV's screen size away from the TV. For example, if you have a 46 inch screen, locate the listening position 2.92 to 3.50 meters from the screen.

Front SpeakersPlace these speakers in front of your listening position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you. Place the front 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 centre speaker or place them slightly in front of the centre speakers.
Centre SpeakerIt is best to install the Centre Speaker at the same height as the front speakers. You can also install it directly over or under the TV.
Surround SpeakersPlace these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they face each other. Position them about 60 to 90cm above your ear, facing slightly downward.* Unlike the front and centre speakers, the surround speakers are used mainly for sound effects. Sound will not come from them all the time.
SubwooferThe position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

About RDS Broadcasting

Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to receive FM stations

RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals.

For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.

Description on RDS function

  • PTY (Program Type) : Displays the type of program currently being broadcast.
  • PS NAME (Program Service Name) : Indicates the name of broadcasting station and is composed of 8 characters.
  • RT (Radio Text) : Decodes the text broadcast by a station (if any) and is composed of maximum 64 characters.
  • CT (Clock Time) : Decodes the real time clock from the FM frequency. Some stations may not transmit PTY, RT or CT information therefore this may not be displayed in all cases.
  • TA (Traffic Announcement) : TA ON/OFF it shows that the traffic announcement is in progress.
