Safety

Information for Europe:
Know these safety symbols
The ‘exclamation mark’ calls attention to features for which you should carefully read the supplied literature to prevent operating and maintenance problems.
The ‘lightening bolt’ symbol indicates uninsulated components within the product that can cause an electric shock.
To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do
not expose the product to rain or moisture

Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
h Do not remove the casing of this
product.
i Only use this product indoors. Do
not expose the product to dripping / splashing water, rain or high humidity.
j Keep this product away from direct
sunlight, naked ames or heat.
k Do not install near any heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other electrical equipment (including
ampliers).
l Do not place any other electrical
equipment on the product.

Never remove the casing of this apparatus. Never lubricate any par t of this apparatus. Never place this apparatus on other electrical
equipment. Keep this apparatus away from direct sunlight,
naked ames or heat.
Never look into the laser beam inside this

Risk of overheating! Never install this apparatus
in a conned space. Always leave a space of
at least four inches around this apparatus for ventilation. Ensure cur tains or other objects never cover the ventilation slots on this apparatus.
Hearing Safety
You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

Environmental notices

Listen at a moderate volume:
Using headphones at a high volume can impair your hearing. This product can produce sounds in decibel ranges that may cause hearing loss for
a normal person, even for exposure less than a
minute. The higher decibel ranges are offered for those that may have already experienced some hearing loss.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So after prolonged listening, what sounds
‘normal’ can actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to
a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
Prolonged exposure to sound, even at normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause hearing loss.
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and
take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones.
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable periods of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your hearing adapts.
Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
This product complies with the radio
inter ference requirements of the European
Community.
This product complies with the requirement of
the 1999/5/EC directive.
This apparatus includes this label:
Class II equipment symbol:
This symbol indicates that this product has a double insulation system.
Modications
Modications not authorized by the
manufacturer may void user’s authority to operate this product.

Place MCi900 near a TV to use the disc pl ayer.
For good Wi-Fi reception, place the unit
within the coverage of the router/ Access point (not supplied).
To avoid magnetic interference or

Place the Soundsphere speakers

About Soundsphere speakers
The supplied Soundsphere speakers can
produce full-frequency sounds throughout the
area of coverage.
Unlike conventional speakers, Soundsphere
speakers are much less sensitive to exact
positioning. The mid- and high-frequency
sounds from Soundsphere speakers are
retained, even if you move away from the Soundsphere speakers. Thus, the authentic
sound experience can be ex tended to all sides of the speakers.
22 EN
How to place the soundsphere speakers
2-3M
English
For the best listening experience:
Place the speakers with the tweeters • at the ear height, and at least 50 cm
away from the rear wall. Place the speakers on speaker stands
to get the best result. Place the speakers 2 to 3 meters
away from each other, with the two
speakers and your preferred listening
position forming an equilateral
triangle. Place the speakers with the tweeters
facing your preferred listening area.
To keep the tweeters unobstructed,
never place the speakers in between shelves.
Tip
Alternatively, you can place the Soundsphere speakers on the oor or on top of shelves,
though not preferable. By placing the speakers at least 50 cm away
from the rear wall, you can make the bass
tighter and improve your listening experience.

5 Connect

Connect the main unit and CD/DVD unit

As shown, plug the cable into DIN IN.
As shown, unscrew to loosen the
connectors;
Fully insert the ends of speaker wires, • red end into the red connector, and
silver end into the black connector; Screw the connectors until the
speaker wires are securely fastened.

Connect speakers

Note
Always connect the speakers before you connect MCi900 to an AC power outlet. By
doing so, you can avoid the big noise that
may be caused during speaker ins tallation by the speaker wires on the metallic surface of MCi900.
1 On MCi900, ensure that you connect
the left speaker to LOUDSPEAKERS L+, L- and right speaker to LOUDSPEAKERS R+, R-.
2 To connect the speakers,

Connect for disc play

For disc play, make audio/video connections.

Connect a TV

On MCi900, you can connect a TV through one of the two video jacks.
Select the video jack that your TV supports:
Composite video (CVBS): for a standard TV;
HDMI jack: for a high-denition
TV compliant with HDMI (High
Denition Multimedia Inter face)/DVI (Digital Visual Inter face), and HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protec tion).
24 EN
DIGITAL IN
COAXIAL
Using the CVBS jack
TV
TV
HDMI IN
As shown, plug the supplied composite
audio/video cable into the corresponding sockets.
Using the HDMI jack (sold separately)
Use the HDMI jack to connect a high-
denition T V (HDTV), which is equipped with HDMI (High Denition Multimedia Inter face) or DVI (Digital Visual Interface), and compliant
with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Contents Protection).
As shown, connect an HDMI cable (not
supplied) to:
the HDMI socket on this unit, and the HDMI input socket on the TV.
For TV/ monitor with a DVI jack only, use
a DVI-to-HDMI adapter.
Tip
As a compact audio/video interface, HDMI
transmits uncompressed digital data. With the
HDMI connection, high-denition video/audio
contents can present optimum video and
audio quality on a HDTV.

Play from another speaker system

To play from another speaker system, connect
an digital audio cable (not supplied) to:
the CD/DVD DIGITAL AUDIO OUT socket on MCi900;
the digital audio input on an external speaker system.
English
Note
