CAUTION : CLASS 1M VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN. DO NOT VIEW DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS

Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures other than those specied herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord

Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedicated circuit;

That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specication page of this owner’s manual to be certain. Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or re. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized service center. Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance. To disconnect power from the mains, pull out the mains cord plug. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily accessible.

Caution

yBe careful to make sure children not to put

their hands or any objects into the *speaker duct. *Speaker duct: A hole for plentiful bass sound on speaker cabinet (enclosure).

yPlace the center speaker at a safe distance

from the child’s reach. Otherwise it may result in the speaker falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.

yThe speakers contain magnetic parts, so

colour irregularity may occur on the CRT TV screen or PC monitor screen. Please use the speakers away from the TV screen or PC monitor screen.

yBefore using the subwoofer, remove the

protective vinyl.

Front left speaker (L)/ Front right speaker (R):

Place the front speakers to the sides of the monitor or screen and as ush with the screen surface as possible.

Center speaker:

Place the center speaker above or below the monitor or screen.

Surround left speaker (L)/ Surround right speaker (R):

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards.

Subwoofer:

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reections.

Wireless Receiver within 10 m (32 ft.).

yOptimum performance can be

implemented only when the Wireless TX and the Wireless Receiver within distance of 2 m (6 ft.) to 10 m (32 ft.) is used since communication failure may occur if longer distance is used.

yBe sure to match the speaker cable to the

appropriate terminal on the components: + to + and – to –. If the cables are reversed, the sound will be distorted and will lack bass.

yIt takes a few seconds (and may take longer)

for the Wireless TX and Wireless Receiver to communicate with each other.
