Before You Start1
Putting the batteries in the remote
control
1 Open the battery compartment cover on
the back of the remote control.
2 Insert two AA/R6P batteries into the
battery compartment following the
indications (ª, ·) inside the
compartment.
3 Close the cover.
Using the remote control
Keep in mind the following when using the remote
control:
• Make sure that there are no obstacles between the
remote control and the remote sensor on the unit.
• Use within 7 meters of the remote sensor and at an
angle of less than 30º.
• Remote operation may become unreliable if strong
sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the unit’s
remote sensor.
• Remote controllers for different devices can interfere
with each other. Avoid using remotes for other equipment located nearby this unit.
• Replace the batteries when you notice the operating
range of the remote starts to decrease.
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come,
so please bear in mind the following points when
choosing a suitable location for it:
• Remove the batteries if the remote is not going to be
used for a month or more.
• Remove dead batteries promptly—they can leak and
damage the unit.
• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with
governmental regulations or environmental public
institution’s rules that apply in your country or area.
Do...
✓ Use in a well-ventilated room.
✓ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table,
shelf or stereo rack.
Don’t...
✗ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or
humidity, including near radiators and other heatgenerating appliances.
✗ Place on a window sill or other place where the
system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
✗ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other
component in your stereo system that becomes hot in
use.
✗ Use near a television or monitor as you may
experience interference—especially if the television
uses an indoor antenna.
✗ Use in a kitchen or other room where the system
may be exposed to smoke or steam.
6
En
1Before You Start
✗ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—
this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.
✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large
enough to support all four of the unit’s feet.
Avoiding problems with condensation
Condensation may form inside the system if it is
brought into a warm room from outside, or if the
temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the
condensation won’t damage the system, it may
temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you
should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for
about an hour before switching on and using.
Moving the system
If you need to move the system, first switch it off and
unplug from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit
during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may
be damaged.

3 Connect the other end to the speaker in
the same way.
Remove the supplied non-slip pads from the paper, and
stick four onto the base of each satellite speaker. Actual
speakers supplied may differ from those shown.
2Connecting Up
Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any
other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.
This DVD receiver 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.
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 2–
3m apart.
• The surround speakers should not be further away
from your listening position than the front speakers.
• The center speaker should be as close as possible to
the TV screen so that movie dialog is localized properly.
The front and center 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 and surround speakers are not
magnetically shielded, so they should not be placed
near a TV or monitor.
Wall mounting the center and
surround speaker system
Before mounting
• Remember that this speaker system is heavy and that
its weight may cause the wood screw to work loose or
the wall to fail to support it, in which case the speaker
system may fall on the floor. This is extremely dangerous. Make absolutely sure that the wall is sturdy enough
to support the weight of the speaker system. Do not
mount it on plywood boards or soft-surface walls. The
mounting screws are not included with this unit.
Please find the correct screws for your application.

Your listening position
If you install the center speaker on top of your TV, be
sure to secure it with tape or by some other suitable
means. An unsecured speaker may fall from the TV due
to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering
those nearby or damaging the speaker.
