If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

• If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.

H002_En

POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply

cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an

outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A.

LIGHTNING — For added protection for this

product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

POWER LINES — An outside antenna system

should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,

extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY — Never push

objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

SERVICING — Do not attempt to service this

product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE — Unplug this

product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product.

• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.

• If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

• When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for service.

REPLACEMENT PARTS — When replacement

parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

SAFETY CHECK — Upon completion of any

service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

Before you start

• When naming MP3 and WMA files, add the corresponding file name extension (.mp3 or .wma). Files are played according to the file extension. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use these extensions for other kinds of files.

• This system can recognize up to 999 files (WMA/MP3) and up to 499 folders. If a disc exceeds these limits, only files and folders up to these limits will be playable. Files and folders are read/displayed in alphabetical order. Note that if the file structure is very complex, you may not be able to read/play all the files on the disc.

• Folder and track names (excluding the file extension) are displayed.

• There are many different recording bitrates available to encode MP3 files. This system unit was designed to be compatible with all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps should sound close to regular CD Audio quality. This system will play lower bit-rate files, but please note that the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at lower bit-rates.

JPEG file compatibility

• Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.1* still image files up to 8 mega-pixels are supported (maximum vertical and horizontal resolution is 5120 pixels). (*

Connecting up

Connect each speaker using the color-coded speaker cable. Match them to the colored labels above the speaker terminals.

• Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire. This system has been designed for best performance when connected to the supplied speakers. We do not, therefore, recommend that you connect and use other speakers with this system.

1 Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire.

2 Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the system unit.

Match the colored wire with the color-coded label (above the tabs), then insert the colored wire into the red (+) tab and the other wire with the black (–) tab.

3 Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the speakers in the same way.

• Remove the supplied non-skid pads from the paper, and stick four onto the base of each satellite speaker. Actual speakers supplied may differ from those shown.

Placing the speakers

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.

• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.

• For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 6–9 ft. / 2–3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV.

• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

• If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.

Connecting up

• The illustration below shows typical speaker placement for a surround sound system.

Front L

Subwoofer

Surround L Surround R

Front R

Center

• Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

• The front, center and surround speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, placing them extremely close to a television may result in color distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the speakers a little further away and switch off the television for 15–30 minutes.

• The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor.

Wall-mounting the center and surround speaker system

Before mounting

• Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the wood screws to work loose, or the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the speaker falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the speakers on is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls.

• Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and that will support the weight of the speaker.

Connecting to your TV

This system has three different kinds of video output that you can use to connect up your TV. Check the available inputs on your TV to see which you can use.

• Do not connect a VCR between this system and your TV as DVD playback will be affected.

• Use the supplied video cable to connect the VIDEO OUT jack to a video input on your TV.

Connecting using the S-video output

If your TV has an S-video input, you can use this instead of the standard video output for a better quality picture.

• Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-video input on your TV.

Line up the small triangle above the jack with the same mark on the plug before plugging in.
