Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just

purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now
it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and
excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics
Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by
playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through
loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and,
most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort

level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds
“normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level
BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

÷ Start your volume control at a low setting.
÷ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably

and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

÷ Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing

damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening
for a lifetime.

We
Want You

LISTENING

For A Lifetime

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a
lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from
loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this
manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is
included for your protection.

Decibel
Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE
DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

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 (21 feet) 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

7

En

Before You Start1

✗ 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.

✗ 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.

Audio CD compatibility:

• 12cm or 8cm (5” or 3”) discs

• Linear PCM digital audio

• CD-Audio, CD-R* and CD-RW* formats

* This system can play CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded with audio. However, depending on the
condition of the player and the disc, you may find that
not all discs will play successfully. (For example, if the
disc is scratched or dirty, or if the player’s pickup lens is
dirty.) Note that this unit cannot record onto recordable
discs.

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.

Connecting Up2

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 (6–9ft.) apart.

• The rear 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 rear speakers and subwoofer are not magnetically
shielded, so they should not be placed near a TV or
monitor.

Wall mounting the rear 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

It’s also possible to fix the AM antenna to a wall. When
installing on a wall or other surface, perform steps 4
and 5 after first securing the stand with screws. Before
fixing, make sure that the reception is satisfactory.

FM wire antenna

• Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM
UNBAL 75Ω terminals in the same way as
the AM loop antenna.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to
a wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled
up.

The signal earth (H) is designed to reduce noise that
occurs when an antenna is connected. It is not an
electrical safety earth.

Connecting external antennas

External AM antenna

Use 5–6 meters (15–18 ft.) of vinyl-insulated wire and
set up either indoors or outdoors. Leave the supplied AM
loop antenna connected.

Outdoor
AM antenna

5 Clip the loop onto the stand.

6 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface

and point in the direction giving the best
reception.

Avoid placing near computers, television sets or other
electrical appliances and do not let it come into contact
with metal objects.

1 Use a stereo audio cable to connect the

AUX IN jacks to the analog outputs of an
external component.

This will allow you to play the component through this
system.

2 Use a stereo audio cable to connect the

AUX OUT jacks to the analog inputs of an
external component.

This will allow you to record from this system to an
external tape/MD/CD recorder.

3 Use a digital coaxial cable to connect the

DIGITAL IN COAX jack to the digital
output of an external component.

This will allow you to play a digital audio component
(MD player, etc.) through this system.

The DIGITAL IN COAX jack should only be connected
to a PCM audio output (32, 44.1 or 48kHz). These
include CD, MD and DAT players and satellite receivers.
Check the instructions that came with your other
component for more details.

Connecting the power

Before connecting the power and switching on for the
first time make sure that everything is connected
properly.

1 Plug one end of the supplied power cord

into the AC INLET.

2 Plug the other end into a household

power outlet.
