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.

Care of disc

– To clean a CD, wipe it in
a straight line from the
center towards the edge
using a soft, lint-free cloth.
Do not use cleaning agents,
as they may damage the
disc!
– Write only on the printed side of a
CDR(W) and only with a soft felt-tipped
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.

Finding a suitable location

– Place the player on a flat, hard, stable
surface.

You should get a qualified person to
attach the brackets to the wall.
DO NOT do it by yourself to avoid
unexpected damage to the
equipment or injury to personnel.

Helpful Hint:
– The surround speakers are labeled as
REAR L (left) or REAR R (right.)

The connections between front speakers
and DVD system are through the twin
subwoofer stands.

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

1 Place the left and right front speakers

with subwoofer stands 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

position the front speakers too close to your
TV.
– Allow adequate ventilation around the
DVD system.

1 Connect the supplied AM loop antenna

to the AM jack. Place the AM loop
antenna on a shelf or attach it to a stand
or wall.

sending separate signals for the luminance
and the color. You can use S-Video only if
your TV has S-Video In jack.
Sampling Frequency: Frequency of
sampling data when analog data is
converted to digital data Sampling
frequency numerically represents how
many time the original analog signal is
sampled per second.
Seating control: It gives the user a
perfect sound and movie experience
anywhere in the room, providing
maximum flexibility and real total
