General Information

English

This system complies with the FCC rules, Part 15 and with 21 CFR 1040.10. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: – This device may not cause harmful interference, and – This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Environmental Information

All unnecessary packaging has been omitted. We have tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your system consists of materials which can be recycled and reused if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, exhausted batteries and old equipment.

Acknowledgement

Supplied accessories

– Remote control – Batteries (two AA size) for remote control – AM loop antenna – FM wire antenna – AC power cord – CS-900 speaker package (includes one pair of

surround speakers and one center speaker)

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.

● Place the system on a flat, hard and stable surface.

● Place the system in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build-up in your system. Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance from the rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm (2 inches) from each side.

● Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to excessive moisture, rain, sand or heat sources caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.

● 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 disc unit inside the system. Should this occur, the CD player would not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

● The mechanical par ts of the set contain selflubricating bearings and must not be oiled or lubricated.

● When the system is switched to Standby mode, it is still consuming some power. To disconnect the system from the power supply completely, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket.

Before connecting the AC power cord to the wall outlet, ensure that all other connections have been made.

WARNING! – For optimal performance, use only the original power cable. – Never make or change any connections with the power switched on.

To avoid overheating of the system, a safety circuit has been built in. Therefore, your system may switch to Standby mode automatically under extreme conditions. If this happens, let the system cool down before reusing it (not available for all versions).

C Speakers Connection

Front Speakers

Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKERS (FRONT) terminals, right speaker to "R" and left speaker to "L", colored (marked) wire to "+" and black (unmarked) wire to "-".

● Clip the stripped portion of the speaker wire as shown.

Rear Surround Speakers

Connect the speaker wires to the REAR SURROUND terminals, right speaker to "R" and left speaker to "L", colored (marked) wire to "+" and black (unmarked) wire to "-".

Center Speaker

Connect the speaker wires to the CENTER terminal, colored (marked) wire to "+" and black (unmarked) wire to "-".

Notes: – For optimal sound performance, use the supplied speakers. – Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of +/- speaker terminals. – Do not connect speakers with an impedance lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.

Optional Connections

The optional equipment and connecting cords are not supplied. Refer to the operating instructions of the connected equipment for details.

Line Out Connection

Connect this output to any analog audio equipment for playback or recording (CD recorder, tape recorder or amplifier for example). Use a cinch cable to connect the LINE OUT terminals to the analog audio in terminals of the equipment.

Connecting other equipment to your system

Connect the audio left and right OUT terminals of a TV, VCR, Laser Disc player, DVD player or CD Recorder to the AUX/CDR IN terminals.

Notes: – Do not connect equipment to both the LINE OUT and AUX/CDR IN terminals at the same time. Otherwise, noise will be generated and malfunction might occur. – If you are connecting equipment with a mono output (a single audio out terminal), connect it to the AUX/CDR IN left terminal. Alternatively, you can use a “single to double” cinch cable (still be mono sound).

Subwoofer Out Connection Connect the subwoofer to the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal. The subwoofer reproduces just

the low bass sound effect (explosions or the rumble of spaceships, for example).

Wireless Surround Out Connection

Connect the transmitter unit of wireless rear speakers to the SURROUND OUT terminal.

Note: – The availability of a wireless transmitter and its peripherals are subjected to the approval of local authorities. Please check with your respective local safety or approving authority.

Digital Out Connection

Connect this digital output when recording on any audio equipment with digital input (CD Recorder, Digital Audio Tape [DAT] deck, Digital to Analog Converter and Digital Signal Processor, for example). Use a cinch cable to connect the DIGITAL OUT terminal to the digital input terminal of the equipment.

Inserting batteries into the Remote Control

Insert two batteries (Type R06 or AA) into the remote control with the correct polarity as indicated by the + and

- symbols inside the battery compar tment.

CAUTION! – Remove batteries if they are exhausted or not to be used for a long time. – Do not use old and new or different types of batteries in combination. – Batteries contain chemical substances, so dispose of them properly.

Dolby Pro Logic

REPEAT

Dolby ProLogic Surround Sound provides the current industry standard for home cinema sound from VCR and TV broadcasts. The front left and right speakers deliver detailed, directional sound as the center speaker "steers" dialogue/ vocal sound and center screen action toward the TV screen. Both surround speakers add a greater sense of depth with special effects.

Audio and video tapes and discs with the

Dolby Surround mark are encoded for multi channel Dolby Surround sound. The DOLBY PRO LOGIC sound setting allows you to listen to audio tracks as they were recorded through the left, right, center, and rear channels.

IMPORTANT! – Dolby Pro Logic Surround sound can only be reproduced if the program is broadcast in Dolby Surround Sound. – For the best Dolby Pro Logic sound, switch on DPL with DSC set to “Classic” and with VEC off. – Dolby Pro Logic mode will automatically switch to normal Stereo mode when headphones is connected. – When recording, switch to normal stereo mode.

Setting up the Dolby Pro Logic system

You must set up the system properly in order to experience and enjoy a Home Cinema sound ambience.

Connecting the Speakers

5-Speakers Connection (refer to

“Preparations - Rear Connections”)

● Front speakers: Connect the front speakers.

● Center speaker: Connect the center speaker.

● Rear (surround) speakers: Connect either the

wired rear surround speakers or a pair of wireless rear speakers (not supplied) to the SURROUND OUT terminals.

Positioning the Speakers

Front Left and Right Speakers

For the best sound, place the left and right speakers at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the listener.

Note: – To avoid magnetic interference with the picture on your TV, do not position the front speakers too close to the TV.

Rear (surround) Speakers

The surround speakers should be placed at normal listening ear level or mounted on the wall at the back of the room. Most importantly, experiment when placing the surround speakers to obtain the best sound.

Center Speaker

For the best sound, place the center speaker at the same height as the left and right speakers. Place the center speaker directly above or beneath the television.

Test Tone

This feature enables you to adjust the Front Left, Front Right, Center and Surround Sound levels of the respective speakers in Dolby Pro Logic mode.

You must sit at the ideal sitting position and use the remote control to perform this operation.
