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.
Playable Discs
This DVD Home Cinema System will play:
Digital Video Discs (DVDs)
Video Compact Discs (VCDs) or Super Video CDs
All finalized Audio CDs
MP3 files on Compact Disc Recordable (CD-R) or
Compact Disc Rewritable (CD-RW).
Region Codes
DVDs must be labeled for ALL regions or for Region 1 in order to play on the DVD Receiver of this Home Cinema System. You cannot play Discs that are labeled for other regions. The region code for the DVD Receiver is 1 (one). Look for the correct region symbol on your DVDs. The number inside the globe refers to a region of the world. Region 1 represents the United States of America, Canada, upper regions of North America, Bermuda, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and small regions near Australia.
Color Systems
Different color systems are available throughout the world. DVD makers record DVDs in a certain color system. The color system of the DVD may appear on the DVD or its case. The most common color systems are NTSC, PAL, and SECAM. NTSC is used primarily in the United States and North America. This DVD Receiver is compatible with both NTSC and PAL. Follow the steps on page 26 to set the DVD Receiver to NTSC or PAL. Choose a setting that matches the color sys­tem of your TV and your DVDs.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Clean Discs with a cleaning cloth, wiping from the center
to the edge in a straight line. Do not wipe the Disc in a circular motion.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercial-
ly-available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for ana­log discs.
If the DVD Receiver cannot read Discs correctly, use an
accessory cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.
The lens may cloud over if you suddenly move the DVD
Receiver from cold to warm room conditions. If lens clouding occurs, you may not be able to play a Disc. Leave the power on for about one hour with no Disc in the unit until playback is possible.
Do not expose the receiver, batteries, or discs to humidi-
ty, rain, sand, or excessive heat (from devices or direct sunlight). Always keep the disc tray closed to avoid get­ting dust on the lens.
• If you are having trouble playing a certain Disc, remove the Disc and try a different one. Improperly formatted Discs will not play on this DVD Receiver.

10 First Time Setup
Where Do You Start?
1
Disconnect all equipment from power. Connect equipment to power only after you have finished hooking up everything. Do not change connections with equipment connected to a power outlet.
2
Put the batteries in the remote control and connect the AM and FM antennas as detailed below.
3
Connect the DVD Receiver to a Television using one of the options detailed in your separate Quick-Use Guide (or on pages 11-13).
You need only one video connection between the DVD Receiver
and the TV. Use Composite Video (good picture quality), S-Video (better picture), or Component Video (best picture). Use the best connection available with your TV.
Set the TV to the correct VIDEO IN channel. Such channels
may be called AUX(iliary) IN, AUDIO/VIDEO (A/V) IN, EXT1, S­VIDEO, etc. These channels are often near channel 00 on your TV. Or, your TV remote control may have a button or switch that chooses different Video modes. With some TVs, you use the TV’s menu to select a Video mode. See your TV manual for details.

Connect the speakers and Subwoofer to the DVD Receiver as detailed in your Quick-Use Guide (or on page 14).
