6A.
7.
Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or
ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
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.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick
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, Polarized Plug
receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade
exposure.
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 below.
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.

service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have ifallen, 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

____________________
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.
Linder no circumstances should you repair the system
yourself, as this will invalidate the warrantyl
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.

Dolby Pro Logic
This state-of-the-art Dolby Pro Logic mini system enables
you to experience and enjoy a ffome Cinema sound
ambience. The Pro Logic system allows more accurate
definition of the individual sound sources. It produces
greater sound separation between channels and provides
pinpoint sound localisation. Pro Logic provides four
outputs which are called Left, Center, Right and Surround
(Rear). Front signals are produced from the pair of Left
and Right speakers and a Center speaker. The surround
signal is reproduced by two speakers placed at the rear
of the listening area. Although the surround signal is
mono, a pair of speakers is necessary to produce the
correct diffused sound field.
This Pro Logic decoder enables you to decode the
following mode : Dolby Surround, Center Phantom,
Dolby 3 Stereo or normal Stereo.
Setting up the Dolby Pro Logic system
You need to do a proper set up in order for you to enjoy
the Flome Cinema sound to the fullest. First you need to
do a complete speakers' connection.
5-Speakers Connection
• Front speakers: Connect the black wires to the black
FRONT terminals and the red wires to the red FRONT
terminals.
• Center speafrer; Connect the black or non-marked
wires to the black CENTER terminal and the blue or
marked wires to the blue CENTER terminal.
* •
Rear (surround) speakers: Connect the black or
non-marked wires to the black REAR terminals and the
white or marked wires to the grey REAR terminals. You
may also connect a pair of wireless rear speakers (not
supplied) from the SURROUND OUT terminals.
Positioning the Speakers
To get the best surround sound effect, place the speakers
as follow.
FRONT
LEFT
14
DOLBY PRO LOGIC
%
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. The speakers
are magnetic shielded. Should the magnetic field from
the speakers affect the picture of the television, you
should increase the separation distance.
Center Speaker
For best directional effect, try to have the center speaker
at the same height as the left and right speakers and as
close as possible to the screen. Place it directly above or
beneath the television set. If you use speaker from other
make ensure that it is magnetically shielded.
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.
Test Tone
This feature enables you to adjust the Front Left, Front
Right, Center and Surround sound level of the respective
speakers in Dolby Pro Logic mode.
