SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be
taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are
properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing
connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way — switch off,
withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has
a standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to
watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved
stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case — this could result in a fatal
electrical shock.;
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind — it is better to be safe than sorry!
• Select 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.
• Do not use the system in a place subject to vibration.
Power cord
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
• A small amount of power is always consumed while the power
cord is connected to the wall outlet (center unit only).
• When unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet, always
pull on the plug, not the power cord.
To prevent malfunctions of the system
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes
wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your dealer.
• Do not insert any metallic object into the system.
• Do not use any non-standard shape disc (like a heart, flower or
credit card, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage
the system.
• Do not use a disc with tape, stickers, or paste on it, because it
may damage the system.
7 Safety precautions

DVD VIDEODVD AUDIO
VCD/SVCDAudio CD
• DVD Logo is a trademark of DVD Format/Logo Licensing
Corporation.
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the
“Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of
Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be
recommended.
• This system accommodates the PAL system, and also can play
discs recorded with NTSC system. Note that an NTSC video
signal on a disc is converted to the PAL60 signal and output.
• On some DVD VIDEOs, DVD AUDIOs, VCDs or SVCDs, their
actual operation may be different from what is explained in this
manual. This is due to the disc programming and disc structure,
not a malfunction of this system.
• Before playing back discs, read their instructions or cautions
carefully.
Region code of DVD VIDEO
This system can play back DVD VIDEO discs whose Region Code
numbers include the system’s Region Code, which is indicated on
the rear panel.
Example of playable DVD:
3
ALL
2
52
2
5
4
If a DVD with an improper Region Code number is loaded,
“REGION CODE ERROR!” appears on the TV screen and
playback cannot start.
Notes on DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM
• This system can also play finalized DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs
recorded in DVD VIDEO format and DVD-RWs or DVD-RAMs
recorded in DVD VR format.
• This system can also play DVD-Rs or DVD-RWs if MP3, WMA,
and JPEG files are recorded on them with UDF Bridge format.
This system does not support “multi-border” discs.
Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
• This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3, WMA and
JPEG files are recorded on them with ISO 9660 format.
• This system supports “multi-session” discs (up to 20 sessions).
• This system cannot play “packet write” discs.
Some discs may not be played back because of their disc
characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.
Unplayable discs:
SACD, CD-I (CD-I Ready), Photo CD, etc.
Playing back these discs will generate noise and damage the
speakers.
Notes on file types
For all playable files
• The system can only recognize and play files with one of the
following extensions, which can be in any combination of upper
and lower case;
MP3:“.MP3”, “.mp3”
WMA: “.WMA” , “.wma”
JPEG:“.JPG”, “.JPEG”, “.jpg”, “.jpeg”
• The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per group, 99
groups per disc, and the total number of the tracks (files) that the
system can play is 4000.
• Some files may not be played back normally because of their disc
characteristics or recording conditions.
For MP3/WMA files
• The system supports MP3/WMA files recorded with a bit rate of
32 – 320 kbps and a sampling frequency of 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz,
24 kHz*, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.
• If the tag information (album name, artist, and track title, etc.) is
recorded on a disc, it appears in the file control display on the TV
screen. (A pg. 25)

CAUTION
• When you connect speakers other than the supplied ones, use

indicated near the speaker terminals on the rear of the powered
subwoofer.
• DO NOT connect more than one speaker to one speaker terminal.
• Be sure to have them installed on the wall by a qualified
personnel.
• DO NOT install the satellite speakers on the wall by yourself to
avoid unexpected damage from their falling off the wall due to
incorrect installation or weakness in wall structure.
• Care must be taken in selecting a location for speaker installation
on a wall. Injury to personnel or damage to equipment may result
if the speakers installed interfere with daily activities.
Precautions for daily use
• When moving the speakers, do not pull the speaker cords;
otherwise, the speakers may fall over, causing damage or injury.
• When holding a speaker, always grasp the lower portion.
• Do not lean against the speakers, as the speakers could fall down
or break, possibly causing an injury. Especially be careful that
children do not lean against them.

• Place the satellite speakers on a flat and level surface.
• The front and center speakers are magn etically shielded to avoid color
distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they 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. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.
• The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded.
If it is located nearby the TV or monitor, it will probably cause
color distortion on the screen. To avoid this, do not place the
speaker nearby the TV or monitor.
• Be sure to place the powered subwoofer to the TV’s right. If you place
the powered subwoofer to the TV’s left, keep sufficient distance
between them to prevent the TV screen from appearing mottled.
