[ENGLISH] PRECAUTIONS

- The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

- No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

- 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 2 hours, and then proceed to operate.

- When carrying the unit, be sure to remove any 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 these equipments in a confined space, such as a book case or built in cabinet.

- Placing the main unit (JCX-TS960), front speaker with mains lead (ASX-TS960WLF) and surround speaker with mains lead (ASXTS960WLR) in a well ventilated area is strongly recommended. Do not place any object on the top of the unit. Do not block ventilation holes. The cabinet of the unit warms up when it is used for a long time, but it is not a malfunction.

- The main unit (JCX-TS960) is not completely disconnected from the mains when the z/ON button is set to the z position.

- The surround speaker with mains lead (ASX-TS960WLR) is not disconnected from the mains unless it is unplugged from the AC outlet.

Either the main unit or remote control can be operated. However, for convenience, this instruction manual explains operation using the remote control.

Note: This handling description is printed prior to product development. When a part of the product specification must be changed to improve operability or other functions, priority is given to the product specification itself. In such instances, the instruction manual may not entirely match all the functions of the actual product. Therefore, the actual product and packaging, as well as the name and illustration, may differ from the manual.

In order to produce an optimum surround-sound effect, the front, centre and surround speakers should be placed approximately the same distance from the listening position. Arranging the speakers as shown in the figure below will provide a more effectual surround-sound effect. It is recommended to turn down the volume of the internal speaker of the TV.

Centre speaker

Front left speaker (with subwoofer)

Front right speaker (with subwoofer)

Front speaker

Centre speaker When placing the centre speaker on a TV, make sure that the top face of the TV is level. Do not place the centre speaker on a TV whose top face is slanted.

Surround speaker

Be sure to fasten the speaker lead. If the speaker lead is loose, you may pull it with your hand by accident or stumble over it to cause the speaker to fall down.

Within approx. 7 meters

- Place the front speakers (subwoofer incorporated) to the right and left of the TV.

- Place the centre speaker above or below the TV. Position it as near to the TV as possible.

- Place the surround (L, R) speakers as shown in the figure.

The speaker of the unit is so designed that it can be used near a TV. However colour shading may occur on the TV depending on the placement. In such a case, move the speaker away from the TV.

Example of speaker installation (Fig. 5)

It is recommended to install the speakers so that the transmitter (with mains lead) incorporating side of the front speaker should come face to face with the receiver (with mains lead) incorporating side of the surround speaker as far as possible. If they are faced in different directions, it may be hard to receive the radio wave.

About surround speaker connections

Because the surround speakers of this unit are of the wireless type, it is not necessary to connect the assistant speaker lead under normal conditions. If noise is caused to the surround speaker when used in wireless mode, change the setting of the CH SELECT switch on the back of the front speaker with mains lead. If noise is still caused, connect the surround speaker with mains lead to the front speaker with mains lead using the supplied assistant speaker lead. In this case, the audio signal is sent to the surround speaker through the assistant speaker lead.

White

The other connections should be as shown in the previous page.

White

Changing the frequency setting

If noise (or skipping sound) is heard when using surround speaker in wireless mode, change the setting of the CH SELECT switch on the back of the front speaker with mains lead. It may improve the sounds.

CH SELECT

1 (2,414 MHz) 2 (2,432 MHz) 3 (2,450 MHz) 4 (2,468 MHz)

GB-6[ENGLISH]

CONNECTING THE UNIT TO ANOTHER DEVICE

- After the completion of all connections, adjust the image aspect ratio for the TV (“4:3 LB”, “4:3 PS” and “16:9”) (See page 20).

- When connecting the unit to a progressive-mode-ready TV with NTSC colour system capability, use the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT sockets. It is possible to select the progressive mode (Auto/Video/Film) (See page 20).

Cautions in making connections

- Before connecting the unit to another device, turn off the power of the unit and disconnect the mains plug from the AC outlet.

- Connect the unit directly to a TV. If the unit is connected to a TV through a VCR, images may be disturbed due to the copyright protection function.

- Carefully read the instruction manual of the device to be connected.

- Before plugging and unplugging the mains lead of the unit, power off the TV and devices connected to the unit. Failure to do so may damage the speaker.

- To send out the video signal of a device being connected with the VIDEO 1 IN “VIDEO” (or VIDEO 2 IN “VIDEO”) socket, the TV should be connected to the VIDEO OUT or EURO AV CONNECTOR RGB OUT/TV (AUDIO) IN socket. The video signal coming via the VIDEO 1 IN “VIDEO” (or VIDEO 2 IN “VIDEO”) socket will not be sent through the S-VIDEO OUT or COMPONENT VIDEO OUT sockets.

Connecting the unit to a TV

When connecting the unit to a TV having a VIDEO INPUT socket (Fig.

If your TV has the VIDEO INPUT socket, connect the unit to the VIDEO INPUT socket.

When connecting the unit to a TV having an EURO-AV socket (Fig. 7)

You can enjoy high quality picture playback. (Do not connect the video lead to the VIDEO OUT socket.) In this case, select “VIDEO OUT SELECT: RGB” (default) on “Changing the display setting” setting (See page 20.)

When connecting the unit to a TV having an S-VIDEO INPUT socket (Fig. 8)

You can enjoy clearer picture playback. (The VIDEO OUT socket connection is not necessary.)

When connecting the unit to a TV having COMPONENT VIDEO INPUT sockets (Fig. 9)

(Only for TV with NTSC colour system capability) You can enjoy high quality picture playback. (The VIDEO OUT or SVIDEO OUT socket connection is not necessary.) In this case, select “VIDEO OUT SELECT: COMPONENT” on “Changing the display setting” setting (See page 20.)

An LCD video projector with NTSC colour system capability can also be connected.

Connecting headphones

Connect stereo headphones (not supplied) to the PHONES socket for monitoring or for private listening. The speakers are automatically disconnected when headphones are connected.

AERIAL/MAINS LEAD CONNECTIONS

Aerials (Fig. 13)

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 FM external aerial (not supplied) should be connected instead of the simple indoor aerial. Consult your dealer.

AM loop aerial

Assemble the loop aerial as shown in Fig. 14a. Unwind the aerial wires, then connect the plug to the AM ANT. terminal. If you have difficulty inserting the plug, turn it over and reinsert it. Place the loop aerial in a position which yields the best AM reception, or attach it to a wall or other surface as shown in Fig. 14b.

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.

Mains supply

(Main unit, Front speaker with mains lead and Surround speaker with mains lead)
