Care and safety information

Avoid high temperatures, moisture,
water and dust

– Do not expose the system, batteries or
discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive
heat (caused by heating equipment or
direct sunlight.) Always keep the disc tray
closed to avoid getting dust on the lens.

Avoid condensation problem

– The lens may cloud over when the
player is suddenly moved from cold to
warm surroundings, making it impossible
to play a disc. Leave the player in the
warm environment until the moisture
evaporates.

Do not block the vents

– Do not operate the DVD system in an
enclosed cabinet and allow about 10 cm
(4 inches) of free space all around the
player for adequate ventilation.

CD-R/CD-RW and only with a soft felt­tipped pen.
– Handle the disc by its edge, do not
touch the surface.

Care of the cabinet

– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with
a mild detergent solution. Do not use a
solution containing alcohol, spirits,
ammonia or abrasives.

Step 1: Placing the speakers

and subwoofer

For best possible surround sound, all the
speakers (except subwoofer) should be
placed at the same distance from the
listening position.

1 Place the front left and right speakers at

equal distances from the TV and at an
angle of approximately 45 degrees from
the listening position.

2 Place the center speaker above the TV or

the DVD system so that the center
channel’s sound is localized.

3 Place the rear speakers at normal

listening ear level facing each other or
hang on the wall.

4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near

the TV.
