RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE
OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE
THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
Caution: Proper Ventilation
To avoid risk of electric shock and fire, and to prevent damage, locate the apparatus as follows:
1. Front: No obstructions and open spacing.
2. Sides/ Top/ Back: No obstructions should be placed in the areas shown by the dimensions below.
3. Bottom: Place on the level surface. Maintain an adequate air path for ventilation by placing on a stand with a height of 10 cm
or more.
Attention: Aération correcte
Pour prévenir tout risque de décharge électrique ou d’incendie et éviter toute détérioration, installez l’appareil de la manière
suivante:
1. Avant: Bien dégagé de tout objet.
2. Côtés/dessus/dessous: Assurez-vous que rien ne bloque les espaces indiqués sur le schéma ci-dessous.
3. Dessous: Posez l’appareil sur une surface plane et horizontale. Veillez à ce que sa ventilation correcte puisse se faire en le
plaçant sur un support d’au moins dix centimètres de hauteur..

* About the cooling fan
A cooling fan is mounted on the rear panel of the unit to prevent abnormal temperature inside the unit, thus assuring normal operation of
theunit. The cooling fan automatically starts rotating to intake external cool air when the volume is increased up to more than a certain level.
* À propos du ventilateur de refroidissement
Un ventilateur de refroidissement se trouve sur le panneau arrière de l’appareil afin d’éviter la création d’une température
anormale à l’intérieur de l’appareil et permettre ainsi un fonctionnement normal de l’appareil. Le ventilateur de refroidissement
commence à tourner et à aspirer de l’air frais automatiquement quand le volume est augmenté au-dessus d’un certain niveau.

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold—between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
• Install the System in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat buildup inside 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 main unit (see page G-1).
For safety, observe the following carefully:
• Make sure there is good ventilation around
the main unit. Poor ventilation could
overheat and damage the System.
• DO NOT block the cooling fan and 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 System can play back the following digital audio
formats.
•
Linear PCM:
format used for CDs and most studio masters.
•
Dolby Digital:
Dolby Laboratories, which enables multi-channel encode
to create the realistic surround sound.
•
DTS (Digital Theater Systems):
audio, developed by Digital Theater Systems, Inc., which
enables multi-channel like Dolby Digital. As the
compression ratio is lower than for Dolby Digital, it
provides wider dynamic range and better separation.
When playing a multi-channel encoded DVD, the System
properly converts these multi-channel signals into 2
channels, and emits the downmixed sound from the
speakers.
•
To enjoy the powerful sound of these multi-channel
encoded DVDs,
with a proper built-in decoder to the digital output terminal

IMPORTANT: Before playing a disc, make sure of
the following...
• Turn on the TV and select an appropriate input mode on
the TV to view the pictures or on-screen displays on the
TV screen.
• For disc playback, you can change the initial setting to
your preference. See “Setup Menu Operations” on
