General Information

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.

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)

SW-900 powered subwoofer

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.

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 will not operate normally. Leave the power on for about one hour with no disc in the system until normal playback is possible.

The mechanical parts 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 the following are done;

If your system is equipped with a Voltage Selector, set the VOLTAGE SELECTOR to the local power line voltage.

All other connections have been made.

WARNING

For optimal performance use only the original power cable.

Never make or change 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).

BAntennas Connection

Connect the supplied AM loop/FM antenna to the respective terminal. Adjust the position of the antenna for optimal reception.

AM Antenna

Position the antenna as far as possible from a TV, VCR or other radiation sources.

Notes:

– For optimal sound performance, it is recommended that the supplied speakers be used.

– Do not connect more than one speaker to any one pair of +/- speaker terminals.

– Do not connect speakers with impedance lower than the speakers supplied. Please refer to the SPECIFICATIONS section of this manual.

DSubwoofer 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).

Optional Connections

The 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 inputs 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 LINE OUT and AUX/CDR IN terminals simultaneously. Otherwise, noise will be generated and malfunction might occur.

If you are connecting an equipment with mono output, connect it to the AUX/CDR IN left terminal. Alternatively, you can use a “single to double” cinch cable.

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 for 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 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 compartment.

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 they should be disposed off properly.
