Welcome...…

And thank you for purchasing this Emerson Audio/Video Home Theater System. This state of the art system includes everything you need to experience movie theater quality digital video and audio in the comfort of your own living room. The only thing you need to add is your own TV. We have designed this system to be easy to set up, and even easier to use. But please, review this manual before you operate your system; have it handy while you are setting the system up; and keep it available for future reference, or in the unlikely event that you encounter any unexpected problems. We have tried to keep this manual as simple as possible. It begins with a description of the important controls on the main unit and the remote. It then explains how to connect the speakers, your TV, and optional external sources to the main unit, how to position the speakers for the most natural surround sound, and then how to operate the DVD/CD player and the AM/FM Stereo Receiver. If you follow the instructions carefully you can have the system up and operating in less than an hour.

All of the optional system settings have been preset at our factory for correct operation of the system in North America. All you have to do is insert a disc, sit back, and enjoy a great home theater experience.

Eventually you may want to change some of the optional settings. A description of all the optional settings, and instructions for changing them, is found in the second half of the manual.

This system was designed to provide you with many years of reliable operation with a minimum of care and maintenance. Every component in your system was in perfect working condition when it left our factory. If you experience any problems with the set up or operation of this system please review the Trouble Shooting Guide at the end of this manual before you contact your dealer or the Emerson Customer Service Department.

Thanks again from all of us at Emerson Radio Consumer Products Corp.

The serial number of your system can be found on a label on the back panel of the main unit, and also on the display carton. Please record the serial number in the space below. You may need to refer to this number if your system ever needs to be serviced.
