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.

001-051-hts5500-55-Eng3 05/04/05, 4:16 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.

Bit Rate: The amount of data used to hold a
given length of music; measured in kilobits per
second, or kbps. Or, the speed at which you
record. Generally, the higher the bit rate, or the
higher the recording speed, the better the sound
quality. However, higher bit rates use more space
