complies with that indicated on the identification sticker located on the back of your unit.

• Install your unit horizontally, away from

any source of heat (fireplace) or appliances creating strong magnetic or electric fields. The components of this unit are sensitive to

heat. The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35°C/95°F.

• Leave enough space around the unit to

allow adequate ventilation: 10 cm/4 inches on either side and above the top, and 5 cm/2 inches at the rear.

splashing water. The apparatus should not

be exposed to dripping or splashing and no

objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.

• Moving the unit from a cold place to a

warm one can cause condensation on some

components inside the unit. Let the condensation disappear on its own before turning the unit on again.

• Before moving the unit, make sure the disc

tray is empty.

• Where the mains plug or an appliance

coupler is used as a disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain

readily operable.

Connections and Setup

Positioning speakers

Courtesy Dolby Laboratories

1. Left, Right (Front Speakers) Front speakers carry primarily music and sound effects.

2. Center In surround mode, the center speaker carries most of the dialog as well as music and effects. It should be set between the left and right speakers.

3. Surround (Rear Speakers) The surround speakers’ overall sound balance should be as close as possible to the front speakers. Proper placement is vital to establish an evenly distributed sound field.

Front speaker placement

For best results, follow the speaker placement below.

Alignment Align the center speaker evenly with (A) or slightly behind (B) (the left and right speakers), but not ahead of them.

Angle Place the left and right speakers to form a 45-degree angle with your favorite viewing

position to duplicate the soundtrack mixer’s

perspective.

Height The three front speakers should be as close as possible to the same height. This often requires placing the center speaker directly on top (A) or beneath (B) the TV set.

4. Subwoofer A subwoofer is designed to reproduce

powerful low bass effects (explosions, the

rumble of spaceships, etc.).

Note: Front, Center speakers provided with this unit are magnetically shielded to protect your TV set. It is not recommended to place the surround speakers and subwoofer near the TV set.
