All ICs and many other semi-conductors are
susceptible to electrostatic discharges (ESD).
Careless handling during repair can reduce life
drastically.
When repairing, make sure that you are
connected with the same potential as the mass
of the set via a wrist wrap with resistance.
Keep components and tools also at this
potential.
F
ATTENTION
Tous les IC et beaucoup d’autres
semi-conducteurs sont sensibles aux
décharges statiques (ESD).
Leur longévité pourrait être considérablement
écourtée par le fait qu’aucune précaution n’est
prise à leur manipulation.
Lors de réparations, s’assurer de bien être relié
au même potentiel que la masse de l’appareil et
enfiler le bracelet serti d’une résistance de
sécurité.
Veiller à ce que les composants ainsi que les
outils que l’on utilise soient également à ce
potentiel.

D
WARNUNG
Alle ICs und viele andere Halbleiter sind
empfindlich gegenüber elektrostatischen
Entladungen (ESD).
Unsorgfältige Behandlung im Reparaturfall kan
die Lebensdauer drastisch reduzieren.
Veranlassen Sie, dass Sie im Reparaturfall über
ein Pulsarmband mit Widerstand verbunden
sind mit dem gleichen Potential wie die Masse
des Gerätes.
Bauteile und Hilfsmittel auch auf dieses gleiche
Potential halten.
WAARSCHUWING
NL
Alle IC’s en vele andere halfgeleiders zijn
gevoelig voor electrostatische ontladingen
(ESD).
Onzorgvuldig behandelen tijdens reparatie kan
de levensduur drastisch doen verminderen.
Zorg ervoor dat u tijdens reparatie via een
polsband met weerstand verbonden bent met
hetzelfde potentiaal als de massa van het
apparaat.
Houd componenten en hulpmiddelen ook op
ditzelfde potentiaal.
I
AVVERTIMENTO
Tutti IC e parecchi semi-conduttori sono
sensibili alle scariche statiche (ESD).
La loro longevità potrebbe essere fortemente
ridatta in caso di non osservazione della più
grande cauzione alla loro manipolazione.
Durante le riparazioni occorre quindi essere
collegato allo stesso potenziale che quello della
massa dell’apparecchio tramite un braccialetto
a resistenza.
Assicurarsi che i componenti e anche gli utensili
con quali si lavora siano anche a questo
potenziale.
GB
Safety regulations require that the set be restored to its original
condition and that parts which are identical with those specified,
be used.
NL
Veiligheidsbepalingen vereisen, dat het apparaat bij reparatie in
zijn oorspronkelijke toestand wordt teruggebracht en dat onderdelen,
identiek aan de gespecificeerde, worden toegepast.
F
Les normes de sécurité exigent que l’appareil soit remis à l’état
d’origine et que soient utiliséés les piéces de rechange identiques
à celles spécifiées.
D
Bei jeder Reparatur sind die geltenden Sicherheitsvorschriften zu
beachten. Der Original zustand des Geräts darf nicht verändert werden;
für Reparaturen sind Original-Ersatzteile zu verwenden.

GENERAL INFORMATION SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT:
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE
VOLTA GE SELECTOR
LOCATED AT THE REAR OF
THIS SYSTEM IS PRESET AT
220V FROM THE FACTORY.
FOR COUNTRIES THAT
OPERATE AT 110V, PLEASE
ADJUST TO 110V BEFORE YOU
SWITCH ON THE SYSTEM.
General Information
• The type plate (which contains the
serial number) is located at the rear
of the system.
• Recording is permissible if
copyright or other rights of third
parties are not infringed.
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.
Accessories
(Supplied)
– Remote control
– Batteries (two AA size) for remote
control
– AM loop antenna
– FM wire antenna
– AC power cord
– One Video cinch cable
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 typeplate 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.
Allow at least 10 cm clearance from the
rear and the top of the unit and 5 cm
from each side.
• 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 disc unit
inside the system. Should this occur, the
disc 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.

CAUTION:
–For optimal sound performance, it is
recommended to use the supplied
speakers.
– Do not connect more than one speaker
+/-
to any one pair of
speaker
terminal.
– Do not connect speakers with
impedance lower than the speakers
supplied. Please refer to
SPECIFICATION section of this manual.
D Rear Surround Speakers’
Connection
Connect the optional Rear Surround
Speakers to the REAR SURROUND
terminals. Be sure to follow the
instructions supplied with the Rear
Surround Speakers.
E Line Out Connection
ready)
You can connect the audio left and right
LINE OUT terminals to a optional CD
Recorder ANALOG IN terminals. This
allows you to record in an analog format.
You can also install additional optional
front active speakers away from the
system (e.g. in another room) to reduce the
inconvenience of running long speaker
wires across rooms. You can place as many
remote speakers as you like provided they
operate at the same radio frequency.
(wireless
Connect the wireless radio frequency
transmitter to the LINE OUT terminals.
Place the active speakers at your preferred
location. Be sure to follow the instructions
supplied with the active speakers.
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.
F Connecting other
equipment to your system
You can 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 at the rear of the
system.
G Subwoofer Out Connection
Connect the optional active subwoofer to
the SUBWOOFER OUT terminal. The
subwoofer reproduces just the low bass
sound effect (e.g. explosions, the rumble of
spaceships, etc.). Be sure to follow the
instructions supplied with the subwoofer.
2-2
H Video Out Connection
Connect the VIDEO OUT terminal at the
rear of the system to the TV or VCR VIDEO
IN for viewing or recording.
I Adjusting the Operating
Voltage
(for specific version only))
Before connecting the AC power cord to
the wall outlet, make sure that the voltage
selector at the rear of the system is set to
the local power line voltage. If not, reset
the selector before connecting to the wall
outlet.
J AC Power Supply
After all other connections have been
made, connect the AC power cord to the
system and to the wall outlet.
PREPARATION
Inserting batteries into the
Remote Control
•Insert the batteries (Type R06 or AA)
into the remote control as shown in the
battery compartment.
•To avoid damage from possible battery
leakage, remove dead batteries or
batteries that will not be used for a long
time. For replacement, use type R06 or
AA batteries.
