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 power cord.
DO NOT handle the power cord with
wet hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens 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 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.
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 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 power cord
from the wall outlet.
If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and
consult your dealer.

• When playing a multi-channel encoded software, the
System properly converts the multi-channel signals
into 2 channels, and emits the downmixed sound
from the speakers. To enjoy the powerful sound of
these multi-channel encoded software, connect a
proper decoder or an amplifier with a proper builtin decoder to the OPTICAL DIGITAL OUTPUT

• Make sure the antenna conductors do not touch any
other terminals, connecting cords or the power cord.
Also, keep the antennas away from metallic parts of
the System, connecting cords, and the power cord.
These could cause poor reception.
• Use only speakers with the same speaker impedance
as indicated by the speaker terminals on the rear of
the System.
• 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 instructions. If this
happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
Changing the Color System and Scanning Mode:
• You cannot change the scanning mode to progressive
in the following cases:
– When your TV does not support the progressive
