SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
—NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case — this could result in a fatal electrical shock.;
—NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!

Notes on handling
7 Important cautions
Installation of the system
•Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold; between 5°C and 35°C.
•Leave sufficient distance between the system and the TV.
•Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.
Power cord
•Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
•A small amount of power is always consumed while the power cord is connected to the wall outlet (center unit only).
•When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the power cord.
To prevent malfunctions of the system
•There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
•Do not insert any metallic object into the system.
•Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or credit card, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage the system.
•Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it may damage the system.

Note about copyright laws
Check the copyright laws in your country before recording from the discs. Recording of copyrighted material may infringe copyright laws.
Note about copyguard system
The discs are protected by copyguard system. When you connect the system to your VCR directly, the copyguard system activates and the picture may not be played back correctly.
7 Safety precautions
Avoid moisture, water and dust
Do not place the system in moist or dusty places.
Avoid high temperatures
Do not expose the system to direct sunlight and do not place it near a heating device.
When you are away
When away on travel or for other reasons for an extended period of time, disconnect the power cord plugs from the wall outlet.
Do not block the vents
Blocking the vents may damage the system.
Care of the cabinet
When cleaning the system, use a soft cloth and follow the relevant instructions on the use of chemically-coated cloths. Do not use benzene, thinner or other organic solvents including disinfectants. These may cause deformation or discoloring.
If water gets inside the system
Turn the system off and disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet, then call the store where you made your purchase. Using the system in this condition may cause fire or electrical shock.
Supplied accessories
Check to be sure you have all of the supplied accessories.
The number in parentheses is the quantity of the pieces supplied. If anything is missing, contact your dealer immediately.

•This system accommodates the PAL system, and also can play discs recorded with NTSC system. Note that an NTSC video signal on a disc is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.
•On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs, their actual operation may be different from what is explained in this manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure, not a malfunction of this system.
•Before playing back discs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.
Region code of DVD VIDEO
This system can play back DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code numbers include the system’s Region Code, which is indicated on the rear panel.
Example of playable DVD:

3 |
|
4 |
5 |
||||
|
|
|
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded, “REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and playback cannot start.
Notes on DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM
•This system can also play finalized DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs recorded in DVD VIDEO format and DVD-RWs or DVD-RAMs recorded in DVD VR format.

CAUTION
•When you connect speakers other than the supplied ones, use speakers of the same speaker impedance (SPEAKER IMPEDANCE) indicated near the speaker terminals on the rear of the powered subwoofer.
•DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker terminal.
•Be sure to have them installed on the wall by a qualified personnel.
•DO NOT install the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to avoid unexpected damage from their falling off the wall due to incorrect installation or weakness in wall structure.
•Care must be taken in selecting a location for speaker installation on a wall. Injury to personnel or damage to equipment may result if the speakers installed interfere with daily activities.

•Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
•The front and center speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the speakers.
–When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV’s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV’s main power switch again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
•The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.
If it is located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the speaker nearby the TV or monitor.
•Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.
Connecting a TV
•Distortion of picture may occur when connecting to the TV via a VCR, or to a TV with a built-in VCR.
•You need to set “MONITOR TYPE” in the PICTURE menu correctly according to the aspect ratio of your TV. (A pg. 33)
