excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliance and
to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. The appliance should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation
is provided. There should be free space of at least 20 cm (8 in.)
and an opening behind the appliance.
11. Power SourcesThe appliance should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power company.
12. Grounding or Polarization – The appliance may be equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords (mains leads)
should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords (leads) at plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the appliance.
14. Outdoor Antenna (Aerial) Grounding – If an outside antenna (aerial)
or cable system is connected to the appliance, be sure the antenna
(aerial) or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with
regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna- (aerial-) discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of antenna- (aerial-) discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See FIGURE 1.
15. Lightning – For added protection for the appliance during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet (the mains) and
disconnect the antenna (aerial) or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the appliance due to lightning and power-line surges.
16. Power Lines – An outside antenna (aerial) system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna (aerial) system, extreme care
should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
17. Overloading – Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords
(leads), or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any kind into the
appliance through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.
19. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the appliance yourself as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the appliance form the wall
outlet (the mains) and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord (mains lead) or plug is damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the
appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the appliance to its normal operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance –
this indicates a need for service.

Memory Preservation
This unit does not require memory preservation batteries.
A built-in memory power backup system preserves the
contents of memory during power failures and even when
the POWER switch is set to OFF (European and some
Asian models) or when the power cord is unplugged.
The power cord must be plugged and the POWER switch
must be set to ON (European and some Asian models) in
order to charge the backups system. The memory
preservation period after the unit has been turned off
varies depending on climate and placement of the unit.
On average, memory contents are protected over a
period of a few weeks after the time the unit has been
turned off. This period is shorter when the unit is exposed
to a very humid climate.

Positioning Speakers
Standard speaker placement of the speakers system (standard speaker placement of the
SPEAKERS A system for North American and South American model)
Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending
on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The illustration below shows an example of a layout for standard
speaker placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in order to experience the best of Surround sound.
For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed.
If a center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the unused channel is properly distributed to the connected
speakers in order to reproduce the best Surround sound possible.
Front
The center speaker reproduces a richer sound image by enhancing the
perception of the sound's source and movement.
The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated listener and be
placed at ear level.
Surround
The surround speakers reproduce the feel of a moving sound while creating
the sensation of being in the middle of the action.
Place the left and right surround speakers 1 meter (3 feet) above the
listener's ear level and facing toward the sides of the room, making sure that
the listener is within the speakers dispersion angle.
Subwoofer
Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for powerful bass sounds.
The placement of the subwoofer does not affect the final quality of the sound
image much, therefore, you can install it wherever it is convenient.
Refer to the speakers instruction manuals for details.
For North American and South American models
Two speaker systems (FRONT SPEAKERS A and FRONT SPEAKERS B) can be connected to the DVD Receiver.
For example, you can place the FRONT SPEAKERS A system in the main room, and the FRONT SPEAKERS B system in a
second room.
The configuration of the FRONT SPEAKERS A system
The FRONT SPEAKERS A system consists of the front left, center, and right speakers, surround left and right speakers, and
subwoofer.
You can reproduce the sounds such as Dolby surround and DTS surround.
The configuration of the FRONT SPEAKERS B system
The FRONT SPEAKERS B system consists of the front left and right speakers.
You can reproduce only monaural and stereo sounds.

Setting the TV System (Other than North
American model)
The default setting of the DVD Receiver is AUTO, and unless you
notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you
should leave it set to AUTO.
If you experience picture distortion with some discs, set the TV
system to match your country or regions system. Doing this,
however, may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. The table
below shows what kinds of disc are compatible with each setting
(AUTO, PAL and NTSC).
1 Switch the DVD Receiver into standby.
2 Hold down ¢ then press STANDBY/ON until the display
indicates the new setting to switch the TV system.
The TV system changes as follows:
AUTO = NTSC
NTSC = PA L
PAL = AUTO
Note that you have to switch the player into standby before each
change.
About MOD. (Modulation) PAL
SHRINK
Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system
detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch
vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical
shrinkage.
If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be
able to view NTSC disc because the picture may roll. If the TV
has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On
some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands
at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is
caused by the NTSC = PAL conversion.
