About This Manual
This manual is organized as follows:
• The manual mainly explains operations using the
buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the
buttons on the remote control if they have the same or
similar names (or marks) as those on the unit.
If operation using the remote control is different from
that using the unit, it is then explained.
• Basic and common information that is the same for many
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in
each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the
information about turning on/off the unit, setting the
volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are
explained in the section “Common Operations” on pages 9
to 11.
• The following marks are used in this manual:
Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent
from damage or risk of fire/electric shock.
Also gives you information which is not good
for obtaining the best possible performance
from the unit.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the
following cases:
• After starting heating in the room
• In a damp room
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case,
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in
again.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating
any further.
• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.
DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no
user serviceable parts inside.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and
consult your dealer.
Gives you information and hints you had better
know.
Precautions
Installation
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold — between 5˚C (41˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F).
• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup in the unit.
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.
DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or vibration.
Power sources
• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug, not the AC power cord.

The number in the parentheses indicates the quantity of the
pieces supplied.
• AM loop antenna (1)
• FM antenna (1)
• Remote control (1)
• Batteries (2)
• AC plug adaptor (1)
• Video cord (1)
If anything is missing, consult your dealer immediately.
Putting the Batteries into the Remote Control
Insert the batteries — R6(SUM-3)/AA(15F) — into the

FM antenna (supplied)
1 Attach the FM antenna to the FM 75 Ω
COAXIAL terminal.
2 Extend the FM antenna.
3 Fasten it up in the position which gives you
the best reception, then fix it on the wall, etc.
About the supplied FM antenna
The FM antenna supplied with this unit can be used as temporary
measure. If reception is poor, you can connect an outdoor FM
antenna.

• If the AM loop antenna wire is covered
with vinyl, remove the vinyl by twisting
it as shown in the diagram.
2 Turn the AM loop antenna until you have the
best reception.
To connect an outdoor AM antenna
When reception is poor, connect a single vinyl-covered wire
to the AM EXT terminal and extend it horizontally. The AM
loop antenna must remain connected.
For better reception of both FM and AM
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals and connecting cords.
• Keep the antennas away from metallic parts of the unit,
connecting cords, and the AC power cord.

1 Press and hold the clamp of the speaker
terminals on the rear of the unit.
2 Insert the end of the speaker cord into the
terminal.
Match the polarity (colours) of the speaker terminals: Red
(+) to red (+) and black (–) to black (–).
3 Release your finger from the clamp to close
the speaker terminals.
Speaker Setting For A/V Combination
SP-MXSK3 and SP-MXSK1 have a magnetically-shielded design
for placement adjacent to TV’s and monitors without causing color
aberrations. However, color may be affected by the way of installing
the speaker system. Therefore, please take note of the following:
1. When placing these speakers near a TV set, turn off TV’s main
power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers.
Wait at least 30 minutes after the system is installed before
turning on the TV’s power.
2. If another speaker system has been set up near the TV set, that
system may cause color unevenness in the TV’s picture.
3. In spite of the shielded design of these speakers, some of the
TV types may be affected by them. If this happens, move the
speakers to a short distance away from the TV set.
IMPORTANT: Use only speakers with the same speaker
impedance as indicated by the speaker terminals on the
rear of the unit.

• Connect the right rear speaker to the RIGHT jack.
• Connect the left rear speaker to the LEFT jack.
How to install Surround Speakers
• This equipment is not magnet-proof. If it is placed near a
TV set, color on a TV screen may become uneven.
Therefore, when installing, locate the speaker at sufficient
distance away from the TV set.
• When setting the speaker on a high shelf, be sure to fix
them to the shelf by using metal braces: this is a precaution
to avoid the speakers from falling off due to shelf
trembling.
CAUTION:
The speakers are designed to be attached on the wall. Please
have the qualified personnel to attach the speakers on the wall.
DO NOT hang the speakers by yourself to avoid the unexpected
danger whereby the speakers fall off due to incorrect attachment
or unstable wall.
Connecting Other Equipment
You can connect both analog and digital equipment.
Before plugging in the unit, set the correct voltage for your
area with the voltage selector on the rear of the unit.
Voltage mark
Use a screwdriver to rotate the voltage selector so the voltage
number the voltage mark is pointing at is the same as the
voltage where you are plugging in the unit. (See the back
cover page.)
DO NOT plug in before setting the voltage selector
on the rear of the unit and all connection
procedures are complete.
Now, you can plug in the AC power cord.
When connecting the AC power cord to a wall outlet, the unit
automatically starts display demonstration.
• If the wall outlet does not match the AC plug, use the
supplied AC plug adaptor.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to check all connections to be done
before plugging the AC power cord into a wall outlet.
• DO NOT connect any equipment while the power
is on.
• DO NOT plug in any equipment until all
connections are complete.
To connect an analog component
Be sure that the plugs of the audio cords are coloured: White
plugs and jacks are for left audio signals, and red ones for
right audio signals.

Playing Back CDs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)
1 2 3
This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:
• CD (Audio CD)
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)
• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)
Continuous use of irregular shape CDs (heart-shape,
octagonal, etc.) can damage the System.
General Notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your CDs and the mechanism clean.
• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
• Keep the system’s disc trays closed when not in use.
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs
(CD-ReWritable) can be played back only if they are already
“finalized.”
• You can playback your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs
recorded in music CD format. (However, they may not be
played back depending on their characteristics or recording
conditions.)
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their
instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this
unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain
on them, or the player’s lens is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer read-out time. This is
caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower
than for regular CDs.
Loading CDs

The unit automatically turns on and the disc
tray comes out.
