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.

Connections
Do not connect the AC power cord until all other
connections have been made.
• Connect VIDEO OUT directly to the video input of your
TV. Connecting VIDEO OUT to a TV via a VCR may
interfere with your viewing when playing back a copyprotected source. Connecting VIDEO OUT to an integrated
TV/VCR system may interfere with your viewing.

• 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.

correctly while setting a timer, the currently selected
station or the first track will be played when timer is
activated.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure
occurs, the timer will be canceled. You need to set the
clock first, then the timer again.
• Without stopping the recording, you cannot change the
source while Recording Timer is recording.
• Daily Timer will not work correctly for some DVDs.
Setup Menu Operations (see pages 44 to 45)
General:
• If the upper and lower parts of the menu are cut off, adjust

LANGUAGE, AUDIO LANGUAGE, or SUBTITLE is
not recorded on a disc, the original language is used as the
initial language.
PICTURE menu—MONITOR TYPE:
• Even if “4:3 PS/4:3 MULTI PS” is selected, the screen size
may become 4:3 letter box with some disc. This depends
on how they are recorded.
• When you select “16:9 NORMAL/16:9 MULTI
NORMAL” or “16:9 AUTO/16:9 MULTI AUTO” for a
picture whose aspect ratio is 4:3, the picture slightly
changes due to the process for converting the picture width.

Maintenance
To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs,
tapes and mechanism clean.
Handling discs
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge
while pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when
placing it back in its case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures,
and moisture.
To clean the disc:
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center
to edge.
Handling cassette tapes
• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the slack by
inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotate it.
– If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in
the cassette.
• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.
• Avoid the following places to store the tape—in dusty
places, in direct sunlight or heat, in moist areas, on a TV or
speaker, or near a magnet.
To keep the best recording and playback sound quality:
• Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol to clean the
heads, capstans and pinch rollers.
50
• Use a head demagnetizer (available at electronics and
audio shops) to demagnetize the heads (when the System is
turned off).
To protect your recording
Cassettes have two small tabs on the back
to protect from unexpected erasure or rerecording.
To protect your recording,

Cleaning the System
• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System
is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in waterdiluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean
with a dry cloth.
• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the
following:
– DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
– DO NOT wipe it forcefully.
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as
insecticides to it.
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact
for a long time.
