The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on
the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse must be used of the same
rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure
it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer.

DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too
short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.

Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this must be carried out by a competent person, preferably a qualified electrician.

If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid
a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

IMPORTANT

As these colour may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire coloured WHITE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter FL. The wire coloured RED must be
connected to the terminal marked with the letter FR. The wire coloured GREEN must be connected to the terminal marked with
the letter C. The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter SL. The wire coloured GREY must
be connected to the terminal marked with the letter SR.

PLEASE PHOTOCOPY AND DISPLAY

Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source of
portable power. Problems can occur if they are misused or abused ­resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or explosion.
Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to eliminate
any such problems.

BATTERY

SAFETY

GUIDELINES

ALWAYS

Store unused batteries in their
packaging and away from metal
objects which may cause a short­circuit resulting in leakage or, in
extreme cases, fire or even an
explosion.

ALWAYS

Take care to fit your batteries
correctly,observing the plus and
minus marks on the battery and
appliance. Incorrect fitting can cause
leakage or in extreme cases, fire or
even an explosion.

ALWAYS

Remove dead batteries from
equipment and all batteries from
equipment you know you are not
going to use for a long time.Otherwise
the batteries may leak and cause
damage.

ALWAYS

Replace the whole set of batteries at
one time,taking care not to mix old
and new batteries or batteries of
different types, since this can result in
leakage or in extreme cases, fire or
even an explosion.

NEVER

Never dispose of batteries in fire as
this can cause them to explode.
Please put dead batteries in with the
normal household waste.

NEVER

Never attempt to recharge ordinary
batteries, either in a charger or by
applying heat to them. They may leak
cause fire or even explode. There are
special rechargeable batteries which
are clearly marked as such.

ALWAYS

Keep loose button cells away from
young children.

ALWAYS

Supervise children if they are replacing
batteries themselves in order to ensure
these guidelines are followed.

ALWAYS

Make sure battery compartments are
secure.

NEVER

Remember that small button cell
batteries such as used in some
hearing aids, toys, games and other
appliances, are easily swallowed by
young children and this can be
dangerous.

ALWAYS

Seek medical advice if you believe a
cell has been swallowed.

• Do not place the center and rear speakers far away from the

• Avoid positioning the speakers in corners, as this will boost the

bass tones too much.

• Placing the speaker behind curtains, furniture etc. will reduce

the treble response, thus reducing the stereo effect
considerably. The listener should still be able to see the
speaker.

• Each room has different acoustic characteristics and position-

ing possibilities are often limited. You can find the best position
for your speakers by experimenting. In general, the speakers
should be arranged as symmetrically as possible.

Bit rate

Value indicating the amount of video data compressed in a DVD
per second. The unit is Mbps (mega bit per second). 1 Mbps
indicates that the data per second is 1,000,000 bits. The higher
the bit rate is, the larger the amount of data. However, this does
not always mean that you can get higher quality pictures.

Chapter

Sections of a picture or a music piece on a DVD that are smaller
than titles. A title is composed of several chapters. Each chapter
is assigned a chapter number enabling you to locate the chapter
you want.

Dolby Digital

This sound format for movie theaters is more advanced that Dolby
Pro Logic Surround. In this format, the rear speakers output ste­reo sound with an expanded frequency range and a subwoofer
channel for deep bass is independently provided. This format is
also called “5.1” because the subwoofer channel is counted as

0.1 channel (since it functions only when a deep bass effect is
needed). All six channels in this format are recorded separately
to realize superior channel separation. Furtheremore, since all
the signals are processed digitally, less signal degradation occurs.
The name “AC-3” comes from the fact that it is the third audio
coding method to be developed by the Dolby Laboratories Li­censing Corporation.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround

As one method of decoding Dolby Surround, Dolby Pro Logic
Surround produces four channels from two-channel sound. Com­pared with the former Dolby Surround system, Dolby Pro Logic
Surround reproduces left-to-right panning more naturally and lo­calizes sounds more precisely. To take full advantage of Dolby
Pro Logic Surround, you should have one pair of rear speakers
and a center speaker. The rear speakers output monaural sound.

DTS

Digital audio compression technology that the Digital Theater
Systems, Inc. developed. This technology conforms to 5.1-chan­nel surround. The rear channel is stereo and there is discrete
subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1
discrete channels of high quality digital audio. The good channel
separation is realized because the all channel data is recorded
discrete and processed in digital.

MPEG AUDIO

International standard coding system to compress audio digital
signals authorized by ISO/IEC. MPEG 1 conforms to up to 2­channel stereo. MPEG 2 used on DVDs conforms to up to 7.1­channel surround.

DVD

A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though
its diameter is the same as a CD.
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD, at 4.7
GB (Giga Byte), is 7 times that of a CD.
Furthermore, the data capacity of a dual-layer and single-sided
DVD is 8.5 GB, a single-layer and double-sided DVD 9.4 GB,
and a dual-layer and double-sided DVD 17 GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide
standards of digital compression technology.
The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 of its original size.
The DVD also uses the variable rate coding technology that
changes the data to be allocated according to the status of the
picture.
The audio data is recorded in Dolby Digital as well as in PCM,
allowing you to enjoy more real audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi­angle, multilingual, and Parental Control functions are provided

the range of human hearing are compressed while the sounds
we can hear are not compressed. Video CDs can hold 6 times
the audio information of conventional audio CDs.

joy PBC functions.

This system conforms to both versions.
