Precautions
VOLUME
Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the identification sticker located on the back of your player. Install
your player horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation (3~4inches). Make sure the
ventilation slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the player. Do not place the player on amplifiers or other
equipment which may become hot. Before moving the player, ensure the disc tray is empty. This player is designed for
continuous use. Switching off the DVD player to the stand-by mode does not disconnect the electrical supply. In order to
disconnect the player completely from the power supply, remove the main plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused
for a long period of time.
PREP ARATION
During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from
the wall outlet.
Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.
Protect the player from moisture(i.e. vases) , and excess
heat(e.g.fireplace) or equipment creating strong magnetic or
electric fields (i.e.speakers...). Disconnect the power cable from
the AC supply if the player malfunctions. Your player is not
intended for industrial use.
Use of this product is for personal use only.

Connecting the Speakers
SL SR
Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
Position of A V Receiver
•
Place AV Receiver on a dedicated stand or rack.
Front Speakers
•
Place these speakers in front of your listening
position, facing inwards (about 45°) toward you.
•
Place the speakers so that their tweeters will be at
the same height as your ear.
•
Align the front face of the front speakers with the
front face of the center speaker or place them
slightly in front of the center speakers.
Surround Speakers
•
Place these speakers behind your listening position.
•
If there isn't enough room, place these speakers so they
face each other.
•
Place them about 60 to 90cm (2 to 3feet) above your ear,
facing slightly downward.
❈ Unlike the front and center speakers, the surround
speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and
sound will not come from them all the time.
Subwoofer
•
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical.
Place it anywhere you like.
Center Speaker
•
It is best to install it at the same height as the front
speakers.
•
You can also install it directly over or under the TV.
•
When you attach the speakers to a wall, make sure to
fasten them tightly so they do not fall off.

ACTIVE SUBWOOFER
(not supplied)
•
If more bass is desired, you can
connect an additional active
subwoofer (not supplied) to the
Subwoofer 1or 2 port. Since the
signal on the Subwoofer 1and 2 ports
is not stereo, you will hear the same
mono bass sound regardless of the
port you connect to.
