(For Saudi Arabia and Kuwait)

(“GS” area code model only)

For your safety, please read the following text carefully.

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience.

A 5-ampere fuse is fitted in this plug.

Should the fuse need to be replaced please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5-ampere and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.

Check for the ASTA mark Ï or the BSI mark Ì on the body of the fuse.

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE LETTER E, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL Ó OR COLOURED GREEN OR

GREEN/YELLOW.

THIS PLUG IS NOT WATERPROOF—KEEP DRY.

Before use

Remove the connector cover.

How to replace the fuse

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover you must ensure that it is	The location of the fuse differ according to the type of AC mains plug

cover is obtained.	Illustrations may differ from actual AC mains plug.
A replacement fuse cover can be purchased from your local dealer.	1. Open the fuse cover with a screwdriver.

RQTX0234

CAUTION!

IF THE FITTED MOULDED PLUG IS UNSUITABLE FOR THE SOCKET OUTLET IN YOUR HOME THEN THE FUSE SHOULD BE REMOVED AND THE PLUG CUT OFF AND DISPOSED OF SAFELY. THERE IS A DANGER OF SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK IF THE CUT OFF PLUG IS INSERTED INTO ANY 13-AMPERE SOCKET.

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as stated below.

If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral, Brown: Live.

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured Black or Blue.

The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured Brown or Red.

step 1 Assembling the front and surround speakers

Preparation

≥To prevent damage or scratches, lay down a soft cloth to assemble speakers.

≥For assembly, use a Phillips-head screwdriver (not included).

Make sure you have all the indicated components before starting assembly, setup, and connection.

≥Keep the screws out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.

≥For optional wall mount, refer to page 26.

Preventing the speakers from falling

≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.

≥Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.

String (not included)

Thread from the wall to the speaker and tie tightly.

step 2 Positioning

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field.

Note the following points:

≥Place speakers on flat secure bases.

≥Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains.

[Note]

Keep your speakers at least 10 mm away from the system for proper ventilation.

Setup example

Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. Using “Auto speaker setup” (B 11) is a convenient way to get the ideal surround sound from your speakers when you are unable to place them. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Subwoofer

Place to the right or left of the TV, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm from the TV.

speakers

60°		Center speaker
		Put on a rack or shelf.
		Vibration caused by the

		on the TV.
	Main unit	Digital transmitter§

To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the main unit, position it with at least 5 cm of space on all sides.

Wireless system§

≥Place the wireless system within approximately 15 m from the main unit, and in a horizontal position with the top panel faced upward.

≥To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the wireless system, position it with at least 5 cm of space on all sides.

Surround speakers

§Do not use the wireless system or the digital transmitter in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.

To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between the wireless system and other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).

	Wireless				Wireless LAN:
	system				approx. 2 m
					Cordless phone and
					other electronic devices:
					approx. 2 m

The wireless system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication. When this happens, the wireless link indicator (“ [W1] ”) flashes on the main unit, and there is a brief interruption in audio coming from the surround speakers.

This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your home theater system.

If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location outside the range of the wireless system or move the wireless system nearer to the main unit.

Notes on speaker use

≥Use only supplied speakers

Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be negatively affected.

≥You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods.

≥Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage:

–When playing distorted sound.

–When the speakers are reverberating due to a record player, a microphone, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument.

–When adjusting the sound quality.

–When turning the unit on or off.

Caution

Do not touch the front netted area of the speakers. Hold by the sides. e.g. Center speaker

	DO	DO
	NOT

If irregular colouring occurs on your TV

The center speaker is designed to be used close to a TV, but the picture may be affected with some TVs and setup combinations.

If this occurs, turn the TV off for about 30 minutes.

The demagnetising function of the TV should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the TV.

Caution

≥The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only as indicated in this setup. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance.

≥Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.

step 3 Connections

Turn off all equipment before connection and read the appropriate operating instructions.

Do not connect the AC mains lead until all other connections are complete.
