Care and safety information

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

– Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.) Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid getting dust on the lens.

Avoid condensation problem

– The lens may cloud over when the player is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc. Leave the player in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

Do not block the vents

– Do not operate the DVD system/AV Subwoofer in an enclosed cabinet and allow about 10 cm (4 inches) of free space all around the player for adequate ventilation.

Care of disc

– To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the center toward the edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use cleaning agent, as they may damage the disc. – Write only on the printed side of a CD-R/CD-RW and only with a soft felttipped pen. – Handle the disc by its edge, do not touch the surface.

001-053-hts5500-37-Eng47 13/04/05, 4:12 PM8

Care of the cabinet

– Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasives.

Finding a suitable location

– Place the player on a flat, hard, stable surface.

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 labeled as REAR L (left) or REAR R (right). – The front speakers are labeled as FRONT L (left) or FRONT R (right).

AV Subwoofer

For best possible surround sound, all the speakers (except AV 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 center speaker above the TV or

the DVD system so that the center channel’s sound is localized.

3 Place the rear speakers at normal

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

4 Place the AV 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.

While conventional surround programming is fully campatible with Dolby Surround Pro Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to be encoded specifically to take full advantage of Pro Logic II playback, including separate left and right surround channels. (Such material also compatible with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)

DTS: Digital Theater Systems. This is a surround

sound system, but it is different from Dolby Digital. The formats were developed by different companies. JPEG: A very common digital still picture format. A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio. MP3: A file format with a sound data compression system. “MP3” is the abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group 1 (or MPEG-1) Audio Layer

3. By using the MP3 format. One CD-R or CD-RW can contain about 10 times more data then a regular CD. Multichannel: DVDs are formatted to have each sound track constitute one sound field. Multichannel refers to a structure of sound tracks having three or more channels. Parental control: Limits Disc play according to the age of the users or the limitation level in each country. The limitation varies from disc to disc; when it is activated, playback will be prohibited if the software’s level is higher than the user-set level. Playback control (PBC): Refers to the signal recorded on video CDs or SVCDs for controlling playback. By using menu screens recorded on a Video CD or SVCD that supports PBC, you can enjoy interactive playback and searching.
