Important safeguards
•Read instructions– Read all the safety and
operating instructions before operating your
home theater system.
•Retain instructions–Retain the safety and
operating instructions for future reference.
•Follow warnings–Follow all warnings on
your home theater system and in the
operating instructions.
•Follow instructions–Follow all operating
and use instructions.
•Cleaning–Unplug your home theater system
from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use
a dry cloth for cleaning.
•Attachments–Do not use attachments not
recommended by your home theater system
manufacturer because they may cause
hazards.
•Water and moisture–Do not use your home
theater system near water, for example, near
a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool.
•Accessories–Do not place your home
theater system on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. Your home theater
system may fall, causing serious injury to
someone and serious dam age to your home
theater system. Use only with a cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the

•Ventilation–Slots and openings in the
cabinet and the back or bottom are provided
for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of
your home theater system, and to protect it
from overheating. Do not block openings. Do
not place your home t heater system on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Your
home theater system should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat register. Do
not place your home theater system in a
built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack unless correct ventilation is provided or
the manufacturer’s instructions have been
adhered to.
•Power sources–Use only the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your home theater
system dealer or local power company.
•Grounding or polarization–Your home
theater system is equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will
fit into the power outlet only one way. This is
a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the polarized plug.
•Power -cord protection–Route power-supply
cords so that they are not likely to be walked
on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from your home
theater system.
•Outdoor antenna grounding–If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to your
home theater system, make sure that the
antenna or cable system is grounded to
provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Article
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70, provides information with
respect to correct grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode.

•Lightning–For added protection for your
home theater system during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to your home theater system due to
lightning and power-line surges.
•Power lines–An outside antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, do not touch power
lines or circuits because contact with them
might be fatal.
•Overloading–Do not overload wall outlets
and extension cords because this can result
in a risk of fire or electric shock.
•Object and liquid entry–Never push objects
of any kind into your home theater system
through openings because they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on your home
theater system.
•Servicing–Do not attempt to service your
home theater system yourself because
opening or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer
all servicing to qualified service personnel.
•Damage requiring service–Unplug your
home theater system from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
•When the power supply cord or plug is
damaged or frayed.
•If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into your home theater system.
•If your home theater system has been
exposed to rain or water.
•If your home theater system does not
operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating
instructions, because incorrect
adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and often requires extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore
your receiver to its normal operation.
•If your home theater system has been
dropped or damaged in any way.
•When your home theater system exhibits
a distinct change in performance, this
indicates a need for service.

www.insignia-products.com
•Replacement Parts–When replacement
parts are required, make sure that the
service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the
same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, injury to persons, or other
hazards.
•Safety Check–Upon completion of any
service or repairs to your home theater
system, ask the se rvice technicia n to perf orm
routine safety checks to determine that your
home theater system is in correct operating
condition.
•Heat–Place yo ur home theater system away
from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
•Stacking–Place the home theater system in
a horizontal position, and do not place
anything heavy on it.
•Condensation–Moisture may form on the
pickup lens in the following conditions:
•Immediately after a heater has been
turned on.
•In a steamy or very humid room.
•When the unit is suddenly moved from a
cold environment to a warm one.
If you suspect this to be the case, turn the
power off and wait at least one hour for the
moisture to evaporate.
•To avoid interference while watching television–When not in use, we recommend
that you leave the power for your home
theater system turned off. If you experience
interference during normal television viewing,
simply turn the DVD receiver deck off . This is
not a malfunction of the home theater system
or the television.
•Cautions on adjusting volume–Do not turn
up the volume while listening to a portion with
very low level inputs or no audio signals. If
you do, the speakers may be damaged when
a peak level portion is played.
Note
Batteries should never be thrown away or incinerated but
disposed of in accordance with your local regulations
concerning chemical wastes.
Warning
To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of plug to the
wide slot in the power outlet and fully insert the plug.

Setting up your home
theater system
Power source
Use the polarized AC line cord provided for
operation on AC power. Insert the AC cord plug
into a standard 120 V 60 Hz polarized AC outlet.
If you cause a static discharge when touching
your receiver and your receiver fails to function,
unplug it from the AC outlet and plug it back in.
Your receiver should return to normal operation.
Warnings
• The system uses a polarized AC plug with one wide blade
and one narrow. The plug only fits into matching polarized
power outlets. This is a safety feature to reduce the
possibility of electric shock. If the plug does not fit in your
power outlets, you might have outdated, non-polarized
outlets which should be changed by a qualified, licensed
electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug or use an
adapter to make the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats
the safety feature and could expos e you to electric shock.
• Never connect the AC cord plug to other than the specified
voltage (120 V 60 Hz). Use the attached power cord only.
Connecting the AM and FM antennas
Connecting the speakers and subwoofer
To connect the speakers and subwoofer
•Connect the speakers and subwoofer to the
DVD receiver using the speaker cables
(provided). Match the color of the jacks to the
speaker plugs, and fully insert the plugs into
the jacks.

To connect the AM and FM antennas:
1 Connect the AM loop antenna (provided) to
the AM jack on the back of the DVD receiver,
then place the antenna on a shelf or attach it
to a wall.
2 Connect the FM antenna (provided) to the
FM jack, then extend the antenna and attach
it to a wall.
For better FM stereo reception, connect an
external FM antenna (not provided) to the
DVD receiver.
Notes
• Adjust the position of the antennas for optimal
reception.
• Position the antennas as far as possible from
your TV, VCR, or other radiation sources to
prevent unwanted interference.
• Make sure that the speaker cables are correctly connected.
Incorrect connections may damage the system due to short
circuit.
• Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the
speakers supplied. Refer to the Specifications section of
this manual.

www.insignia-products.com
Placing the speakers and subwoofer
The best surround effect can be achieved by
placing each speaker at the same distance from
the listening position. We recommend that you
arrange the speakers as shown below. In
addition, the subwoofer (not shown) may be
positioned anywhere around the room, but
should be directed toward the listening position.
Since bass frequencies can be dependent on
room size and furnishings, you may want to
experiment with subwoofer placement and
orientation to achieve the best performance.

Maintenance
This receiver is a precision inst rum ent that is
constructed using extremely accurate
technology. Dust and friction can affect the
pickup lens and disc drive and can impair the
image quality. In extreme situations, neither
video nor audio can be played back. To obtain
optimum picture quality , the D VD receiver should
be checked (cleaned and some parts replaced)
every 1,000 hours. Note that this period varies
depending on the environment (temperature,
humidity, dust, and so on) in which the receiver
is used.
If the DVD receiver is not being used, the disc
tray should remain closed to protect the
mechanism against dust. However, it is still
possible for the vents to become dirty from dust
or the lens could get covered by a thin, hardly
visible, film. The DVD receiver is then no longer
able to scan the inserted disc. In this case, you
need to have the lens cleaned by a technician
(Do not attempt to clean the pickup lens by
yourself).
Electronic components are subject to a natural
aging process and the mechanical parts are
subject to normal wear. Dust particles inside the
device may also cause faults to occur. For
example, problems may occur when the laser
lens get dirty.
•Consult your authorized dealer in the case of
any problems.
•You should only use the original packaging to
transport the components.
Cleaning components
Before cleaning, switch off the DVD receiver.
Clean all components using a wet cloth or a little
synthetic cleaner. Solvents, spirits, detergents,
and similar cleaners can damage the surfaces of
your home theater system components.
Care and handling of discs
Handling discs
Do not touch the playback side of the disc. Hold
the disc by the edges so that fingerprints do not
get on the surface. Never stick paper or tape on
the disc.
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case. Do not
expose the disc to direct sunlight or sources of
heat and never leave it in a parked car exposed
to direct sunlight.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause
poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before
playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe
the disc from the center out.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,
benzine, thinner, commercially available
cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older
vinyl records.
Note
Never operate this DVD receiver immediately after moving it
from a cold location to a warm location. Leave it for two or
three hours without operating it. If you use this product in such
a situation, it may damage discs or internal parts.
