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 (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.

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.

Rear Speakers

•

Place these speakers behind your listening position.

•

If there isn't enough room, place these speakers to 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 rear 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.

•

Usually, it is placed by a corner near the front speakers.

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.

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.

Position of the DVD Player

•

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" TVs 2~2.4m (6~8feet)

For 55" TVs 3.5~4m (11~13feet)
