Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plug

This apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1 Remove fuse cover and fuse. 2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp,

A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3 Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).

¶ As these colours may not correspond with the

colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: – Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black. – Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red. – Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

Advarsel: Usynlig laserstråling ved åbning når sikkerhedsafbrydere er ude af funktion. Undgå utsættelse for stråling.

Bemærk: Netafbryderen er sekundært indkoblet og ofbryder ikke strømmen fra nettet. Den indbyggede netdel er derfor tilsluttet til lysnettet så længe netstikket sidder i stikkontakten.

Klass 1 laseraparat Varning! Om apparaten används på annat sätt än i denna bruksanvisning specificerats, kan användaren utsättas för osynlig laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för laserklass 1.

Observera! Stömbrytaren är sekundärt kopplad och bryter inte strömmen från nätet. Den inbyggda nätdelen är därför ansluten till elnätet så länge stickproppen sitter i vägguttaget.

Luokan 1 laserlaite Varoitus! Laitteen käyttäminen muulla kuin tässä käyttöohjeessa mainitulla tavalla saattaa altistaa käyttäjän turvallisuusluokan 1 ylittävälle näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle. Oikeus muutoksiin varataan. Laite ei saa olla alttiina tippu-ja roiskevedelle.

Huom. Toiminnanvalitsin on kytketty toisiopuolelle, eikä se kytke laitetta irti sähköverkosta. Sisäänrakennettu verkkoosa on kytkettynä sähköverkkoon aina silloin, kun pistoke on pistorasiassa.

Setup

Finding a suitable location

– Place the set on a flat, hard and stable surface. Do not place the set on a carpet. – Do not position the set on top of other equipment that might heat it up (e.g., receiver or amplifier). – Do not put anything under the set (e.g., CDs, magazines).

Space for ventilation

– Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat build up. Allow at least 10 cm (4.5”) clearance from the rear and the top of the set and 5cm (2.3”) from the left and right to prevent overheating.

Cleaning discs

To clean a disc, use a micro fibre cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from the center to the edge in a straight line.

CAUTION!

Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static sprays intended for discs.

Since the optical unit (laser) of the DVD system operates at a higher power than regular DVD or CD players, cleaning CDs intended for DVD or CD players may damage the optical unit (laser). Therefore, refrain from using a cleaning CD.

001-049-hts3500-01-Eng 12/27/04, 6:28 PM8

(4x)

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

– Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. – Do not place any sources of danger on the apparatus (e.g., liquid filled objects, lighted candles).

Step 1: Set-up the speakers

You can choose to hang the speakers on the wall. Attach the supplied bracket firmly to the rear of speakers using the supplied screws. Then mount a screw (not supplied) on the wall where the speaker is to be hung and hook the speaker securely onto the mounted screw.

CAUTION! You should get a qualified person to attach the brackets to the wall. DO NOT do it by yourself in order to avoid unexpected damage to the equipment or injury to personnel.

Helpful Hints: – The rear speakers are labelled as REAR L (left) or REAR R (right). – The front speakers are labelled as FRONT L (left) or FRONT R (right).

Step 2: Placing the speakers

and subwoofer

English

For best possible surround sound, all the speakers (except subwoofer) should be placed at the same distance from the listening position.

1 Place the front left and right speakers at

equal distances from the TV and at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the listening position.

2 Place the centre speaker above the TV or

the DVD system so that the centre channel’s sound is localised.

3 Place the rear speakers at normal

listening ear level facing each other or hang on the wall.

4 Place the subwoofer on the floor near

the TV.

Helpful Hints: – To avoid magnetic interference, do not position the front speakers too close to your TV. – Allow adequate ventilation around the DVD system.

to connect the DVD system’s SCART socket to the corresponding Scart input socket on the TV.

Option 2: Using S-Video socket

● Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to

connect the DVD system’s S-VIDEO socket to the S-Video input socket (or labelled as Y/C or S-VHS) on the TV.

Option 3: Using Composite Video socket

● Use a composite video cable (yellow -

not supplied) to connect the DVD system’s CVBS socket to the video input socket (or labelled as A/V In, Video In, Composite or Baseband) on the TV.
