on your time of purchase as those restrictions
may be adopted and/or changed by AACS after
the production of this product.

yFurthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are

To obtain additional information on AACS, BD­ROM Mark, BD+, or this product, please contact
an authorized Customer Service Center.

yMany BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with

copy protection. Because of this, you should only
connect your player directly to your TV, not to a

picture from copy-protected discs.

yThis item incorporates copy protection

technology that is protected by U.S. patents
and other intellectual property rights of

Additional notes on
speaker

Install the main front left and right speakers at an
equal distance from the TV.

Precautions:

Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted
together and inserted fully into the speaker
terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the
back panel it may cause the power to cut o as a
safety measure.

The front speakers supplied with this system are
magnetically shielded. However, depending on the
installation location, colour distortion may occur
if the speaker is installed extremely close to the
screen of a television set. If this case happens, turn
the power switch of the television set OFF, and
turn it ON after 15 min. to 30 min. If the problem
persists, place the speaker system away from the
television set.

The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and
so should not be placed near a TV or monitor.
Magnetic storage media (such as oppy discs and
tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept
close to the subwoofer.

Do not attach the front speakers and subwoofer to
a wall or ceiling. They may fall o and cause injury.

Positioning the system

The following illustration shows an example of
positioning the system. Note that the illustrations
in these instructions dier from the actual unit for
explanation purposes.
For the best possible surround sound, all the
speakers other than the subwoofer should be
placed at the same distance from the listening
position (

).

Front left speaker (L)/
Front right speaker (R):

Place the front speakers to the sides of the monitor
or screen and as ush with the screen surface as
possible.

Subwoofer:

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical,
because low bass sounds are not highly directional.
But it is better to place the subwoofer near the
front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of
the room to reduce the wall reections.

yBe careful to make sure children not to put

their hands or any objects into the *speaker
duct.

sound on speaker cabinet (enclosure).

yThe speakers contain magnetic parts, so

colour irregularity may occur on the CRT
TV screen or PC monitor screen. Please use
the speakers away from the TV screen or PC
