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. Condensation may occur if your player or disc have been
stored in cold temperatures. If transporting the player during the winter, wait approximately
2 hours until the unit has reached room temperature before using.
Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or other heat sources.
This could lead to overheating and malfunction of the unit.
The battery used with this product contain chemicals that are harmful to the environment. Do not dispose of batteries in the general household trash.

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.
