Precautions

Installation

• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in the System.

DO NOT install the System in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

• Install in 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.

• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference with the TV.

Power sources

• When unplugging the System from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug, not the AC power cord.

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet hands.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense in the lenses on the System in the following cases:

• After starting to heat the room

• In a damp room

• If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in again.

Internal heat

• Make sure there is good ventilation around the System. Poor ventilation could overheat and damage the System. –A cooling fan is inside the System to prevent heat build-

up.

DO NOT block the ventilation openings or holes. If they are blocked by a newspaper or cloth, etc., the heat may not be able to get out.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the System, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before operating any further.

DO NOT disassemble the System since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

• If you are not going to operate the System for an extended period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

• The front and center speakers and subwoofer(s) are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, it 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 instruction. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to each terminal.

• DO NOT push or pull the speakers as this will damage the foot spacers at the bottom of the speakers.

Changing the Color System and Scanning Mode:

• If you play back an NTSC disc/file with the color system set to “PAL (PROG),” the disc/file will be reproduced using “PAL 60” format; however, if the TV does not support this format, the screen may not display properly.

• If you play back a PAL disc/file with the color system set to “NTSC (PROG),” you can watch the playback pictures, but the following symptoms may occur: – The items on the menu will be blurred, and be shown

slightly shifted when highlighted.

– The aspect ratio of the picture may differ from the

original aspect ratio.

– The picture movement is not smooth.

• You cannot change the scanning mode to progressive in the following cases: – When your TV does not support the progressive video input. – When you have not connected your TV to the unit using

a component video cord.

• When you play back an NTSC disc/file in progressive scanning mode either NTSC PROG or PAL PROG, the System outputs the NTSC signal regardless of the color system settings.

Daily Operations—Playback

Listening to the Radio:
