Assembling the satellite speaker
The satellite speaker comes without the stand attached to it. It is required to attach a stand to the
satellite speaker before connecting it to the main unit. However, if required, the satellite speaker
can be installed without a stand. In this case, attach the provided cushion on the bottom of the satellite speaker.

1 Align the tabs on the stand with the notches
on the stand mount position of the satellite
speaker.
2 Turn the stand clockwise until it is stopped.
Preparation section
Installation of speakers and positioning of TV
1. Color irregularities on the TV screen may also be produced depending on the method how the speakers are installed.
When color irregularities are observed after the speaker installation, first turn the TV off, wait for 15 to 30 minutes and turn
it on again: The interference may be improved by the self-demagnetizing function of the TV. If the color irregularities still
remain, install the speakers more apart from the TV.
2. If a source of magnetism such as a magnet is located near the speakers, its interaction with the speakers may cause
color irregularities on the TV screen. Also take care of this point when installing the speakers.
3. Due to induction by the electromagnetic waves produced by a TV, the speakers may produce sound even when the stereo
unit is turned off. In this case also, install the speakers more apart from the TV.

Channel space setting
The space between radio channels has been set to the one that prevails in the area to which the system is shipped.
However, if the current channel space setting does not match the setting in the area where the system is to be
used, for instance when you move from area 1 or area 2 shown in the following table or vice versa, proper reception of AM/FM broadcasts cannot be expected. In this case, change the channel space setting in accordance with
your area by referring to the following table.

The video output from the player should be connected directly to the TV. If the video output is
connected through a VCR, the picture displayed on the TV may be disturbed due to the copy protect function.
Using Headphones
1 Insert the headphone plug into the PHONES
jack.

÷ Headphones with a stereo mini plug can be con-
nected.
÷ The sounds from all speakers are cut off.
When a DTS-encoded disc (CDs, LDs, DVDs) is
played, noise may interfere with the headphone
output. To enjoy DTS digital surround playback
through headphones, connect an external 5.1channel DTS digital surround decoder system to
the digital output of the DVD player and use the
headphones jack of your amplifier or receiver.

DTS disclaimer clause
When playing DTS-encoded (CDs, LDs, DVDs), excessive noise will be exhibited from the analog stereo
outputs. To avoid possible damage to the audio system, the consumer should take proper precautions
when the analog stereo outputs of the DVD player is connected to an amplification system. To enjoy
DTS Digital Surround™ playback, an external 5.1 channel DTS Digital Surround™ decoder system must
be connected to the digital output (S/P DIF, AES/EBU, or TosLink) of the DVD player.
1. This unit always down-mixes multi-channel surround audio into 2-channel audio and outputs it from the
AUDIO CD-R OUT, DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL and PHONES jacks. However, with certain discs, this unit
outputs only the Front (L/R) channel signals in place of the down-mixed 2-channel signals.
2. In case an associated system component is connected, also read the instruction manual of the component.
3. Insert the optical-fiber cable straight into the connector until it clicks.
4. Never bend or bundle the optical-fiber cable.
