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 System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup 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.
• Leave sufficient distance between the System and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with 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 on the lenses inside 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
•
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel to prevent heat
buildup inside the unit.
• 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.

Step 2: Prepare the remote control.
Step 1: Unpack
After unpacking, check to be sure that you have all the
following items. The number in parentheses indicates the
quantity of each piece supplied.
• FM antenna (1)
• AM loop antenna (1)
• Composite video cord (1)
• Remote control (1)
• Batteries (2)
• AC plug adapter (1)
If any item is missing, consult your dealer immediately.
Step 2: Prepare the Remote Control
Insert the batteries into the remote control by matching the
polarity (+ and –) correctly.

• DO NOT use different types of batteries
together.
• DO NOT expose batteries to heat or flame.
• DO NOT leave the batteries in the battery

To connect the speaker cords
• When connecting the speaker cords, match their polarity
with that of the speaker terminals: red/blue to (+) and
black to (–).
• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance as
indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.
• The speakers 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.
To connect the AM loop antenna cords
• Connect black cord to the H
the other terminal.

• If the AM loop antenna wire or speaker cords are covered with
vinyl, remove the vinyl to expose the tip of the antenna by
twisting the vinyl.
• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any other
terminals, connecting cords and power cord. Also, keep the
antennas away from metallic parts of the System, connecting
cords, and the AC power cord. This could cause poor
condition.
