SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – Read before operating equipment

English

This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation precautions which you should be particularly aware of.

1. Read Instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before

the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for

future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions

should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water - for example,

near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub or swimming pool, or in a wet basement.

6. Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is

recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling

only as recommended by the manufacturer.

8. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does

not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators,

heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the

type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

11. Grounding or Polarization - Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or

polarization means of an appliance is not defeated.

stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match the

wide blade of this plug to the wide slot and fully insert. Do not use this (polarized) plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

AC Polarized

12. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords 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 and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

13. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the

manufacturer.

14. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.

15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver,

be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See figure on page 7.

16. Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the

outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

17. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and

liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.

18. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified

service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the appliance; or C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change

in performance; or

E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

19. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that

described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

(Supplied)

(FW386C and FW65C

Safety Information

• Before operating the system, check that the operating voltage indicated on the typeplate (or the voltage indication beside the voltage selector) of your system is identical with the voltage of your local power supply. If not, please consult your dealer. The type plate is located at the rear of your system.

• When the system is switched on, do not move it around.

• Place the system on a solid base (e.g. a cabinet).

• Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system.

• Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources.

• Under no circumstances should you repair the system yourself, as this will invalidate the warranty!

• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens of the CD unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD player will not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

• Electrostatic discharge may cause unexpected problems. See whether these problems disappear if you unplug the AC power cord and plug it in again after a few seconds.

• To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.

Front Left and Right Speakers

For best listening effect, it is recommended to have the Left and Right speakers to form an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the listener. Should the magnetic field from the speakers affect the picture of the television, you should increase the separation distance.

Rear (surround) Speakers

The surround speaker should be placed at normal listening ear level. It can also be mounted on the wall at the back of the room. Most important , sometimes you need to experiment creatively when placing the surround speakers in order to obtain the most ideal sound projection.

E Connecting other equipment to your

system

You can connect the audio left and right OUT terminals of a TV, VCR, Laser Disc or DVD player to the AUX IN terminals at the rear of the system.

F Subwoofer Out Connection

You can connect either an optional active subwoofer or an optional wireless active subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal. The wireless system uses a radio frequency transmitter. The subwoofer reproduces just the low bass effect (e.g. explosions, the rumble of the spaceships, etc.). Be sure to follow the instructions supplied with the subwoofer unit.

Note: – Availability of wireless transmitter and its peripherals

are subjected to the approval of local authorities. Please check with respective local safety or approving authority.

G AC Power Supply
