Precautions

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 (7.5~10cm). Make sure the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not stack anything on top of the amplifier. In order to disconnect the player completely from the power supply, remove the mains plug from the wall outlet, especially when left unused for a long period of time.
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.
During thunderstorms, disconnect AC main plug from the wall outlet. Voltage peaks due to lightning could damage the unit.
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.

Safety Warnings

This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage which can cause electric shock is present inside this unit.
This symbol alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions accompanying the unit.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE

Wiring the Main Power Supply Plug(UK Only)
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The main lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used. Never use the plug with the fuse cover removed. If the cover is detachable and a replacement is required, it must be of the same colour as the fuse fitted in the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer. If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance. However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a main socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.
Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a main socket. A plug and fuse must be used at all times.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the main lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:–
BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:– The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE
LETTER E OR BY THE EARTH SYMBOL , OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.

Connecting the speakers

Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
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 ears, facing slightly downward.
Unlike the front and centre speakers, the surround
speakers are used to handle mainly sound effects and sound will not come from them all the time.
Surround Speakers
SL SR
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 ears.
Align the front face of the front speakers with the front face of the centre speaker or place them slightly in front of the centre speaker.
Front Speakers
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.
Centre speaker
Place AV Receiver on a dedicated stand or rack.
Position of A V Receiver
When you attach the speakers to a wall, make sure to fasten them tightly so they do not fall off.
Never touch speaker terminals while the power is on. Doing so could result in electric shock.
Make sure the polarities (+ and -) are correct.
Keep the subwoofer speaker out of reach of children to prevent them from inserting their hands or objects into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer speaker.
Caution
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.
Subwoofer
Place it so it faces forward towards the back of the listener.
Place the surround back speaker about 70 cm to 1 m (2.3~3.3feet) above surround speakers, facing slightly downwards.

Connecting audio component/5.1 channel
By connecting through the HDMI(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) interface, you can exchange digital video and audio data without converting them into analogue.
Connecting HDMI Component
To play digital contents through the HDMI connection, both of the connected external device and TV must support High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection System (HDCP). This product supports HDCP.
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection System (HDCP) support
• The audio data in the SACD multi/stereo area is not played. To play a DVD disk whose copyright is protected by CPPM, use a player supporting CPPM.
• The quality of the audio output through the HDMI jack (sampling frequency and bit rate) may be limited by the performance of the connected device.
• Since HDMI connection supports both video and audio, you don’t have to connect an audio cable additionally.

of maximum 64 characters.
4. CT (Clock Time) :

• Some stations may not transmit PTY, RT or CT information therefore this may not be displayed in all cases.
