Wiring the Main Power Supply Plug (UK Only)

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The mains 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 mains socket as there is
a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord. Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a mains socket. A
plug and fuse must be used at all times.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains 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 LETTER E OR

BY THE EARTH SYMBOL , OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.

02 Connections

Connections

This section involves various methods of connecting the product to other external components.
Before moving or installing the product, be sure to turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.

Connecting the Speakers

Position of the product

Place it on a stand or cabinet shelf, or under the TV
stand.

Selecting the Listening Position

The listening position should be located about 2.5 to 3
times the distance of the TV's screen size away from
the TV.
Example : For 32" TV's 2~2.4m

For 55" TV's 3.5~4m

Front Speakers

ei

SW

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
centre speaker or place them slightly in front of the centre speakers.

Centre Speaker

Surround Speakershj

Subwoofer

CAUTION

!

Do not let children play with or near the speakers. They could get hurt if a speaker falls.



When connecting the speaker wires to the speakers, make sure that the polarity (+/ –) is correct.



Keep the subwoofer speaker out of reach of children so as to prevent children from inserting their hands or alien substances



into the duct (hole) of the subwoofer speaker.
Do not hang the subwoofer on the wall through the duct (hole).



NOTE

✎

If you place a speaker near your TV set, screen colour may be distorted because of the magnetic fi eld generated by the



speaker. If this occurs, place the speaker away from your TV set.

f

g

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.

Place these speakers to the side of your listening position. If there isn't enough
room, place these speakers so they face each other. Place them about 60 to
90cm above your ear, 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.

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical. Place it anywhere you like.

HDMI connection description

- HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.

- If your TV does not support HDCP, random noise appears on the screen.

•

What is the HDCP?

HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for preventing BD/DVD content outputted
via HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a
display device (TV, projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized
copies from being made.

CAUTION

!



The Anynet+ function is supported only when an HDMI Cable is connected to the HDMI OUT of
the product.
